PREPARING FOR PEPENG

our country, specifically the National Capital Region was recently hit by a typhoon named locally by PAGASA as "ondoy". its international name was ketsana. the said storm left the NCR and other areas around it flooded almost roof-high.
the typhoon did not spare anyone, even the rich people who lives in villages around Metro Manila.
it was a big disaster that the national government declared the affected areas under the state of calamity.
till now, a lot of areas in other provinces affected by the typhoon are still in flood. most of them is still waist-high.
our country has not recovered yet from the turmoil, and another super typhoon is coming, locally named "pepeng" and "parma" as its international name. we cannot do anything to stop it, and all we can do is to prepare for the worst.

• first, we must secure the basic tools or gadget that we need when the typhoon comes.

we need candles, matches or lighters, food, cellphones, flashlights, drinking water, a transistor radio, and other communication gadgets.

• then we must put in a plastic bag or in any bag that cannot be penetrated by water all our important documents, ID's, money, and all the important things that could possibly fit our bag, that we can possibly carry when we need to evacuate and leave our houses.

life is the most important in this world. there's always an opportunity to start all over again.
let's all pray that the typhoon wont do any harm.
