Hello LOtters,
Yes,Another Typhoon came to visit my country few days ago and it was directly to the Area in the Luzon Island Where I lived. I was able to use the internet the night before the storm went from bad to worse.
I slept early but that morning, i had a glimpse on how the winds are rampaging our neighborhood.Then, I woke again around seven because my brother called to see how we are doing at the house since there was no electricity. i just went back to sleep after i gave the phone to mom. woke up again around eleven in the morning and starts cleaning up the front house.
Poor Cutie,her tail got wet, i just put her into a more sheltered area, because it might rain again and gave her a special tuna treat.and reinforce her houseroof with a styro-foam.
I went back inside to call someone but there was no dial-tone.I went back to check all the cables, there wasn't any damage,except the ones outside. through my cousins phone i texted my brother,and he said they would call to report it in the CS. but knowing it's holiday that day i decided to attend on their offices within the nearest mall and filed a complaint so that they can send technicians to repair it.
So, For now i have no Internet and Phone Connection. but i am taking this time to continue with the mylot video.so, sorry if it has been delayed for far too long.I've decided to choose the characters for only those who are active in mylot.
See you in the next couple of days....

well, things were abit alright now since i got my connection back but the problem now lies with the power supply as the computer gave me one heck of a wait before i could turn it on. i know i really need to replace it sooner since it's condition is not working, not to mention it's fans are not working tha ti had to use a real fan to keep it from over heating

Hi LetranKnight, it’s good to hear from you. It sounds a bit stormy and miserable over there. Don’t you hate when the electricity goes out? We realise how much we rely on it when that happens! Hope it’s all sorted soon.
Good on you for taking care of Cutie in this awful weather!
I almost forgot about the MyLot video! So you are going to work on it again? Great stuff can’t wait to see more!
Catch you soon LetranKnight, take care...

Hi Letran Knight: i'm sorry to hear that you're disconnected of the world for a few days. Sometimes these things happends, at least your'e in a better situation that some other people that have lived real disasters in their laves because of global weather changes. Even with that i have experienced something similar and it's horrible. I hope everything is going alright in your house and hope you can come back soon here on mylot. Have a nice day.

Welcome to my world . I've had no power again for twenty four hours when the storm struck Saturday morning. This means that without electricity, my phone, internet and water supply also gets cut off. I wish you luck that they can restore your phone and internet line fast. Mine took a month following Ondoy's onslaught.

hello anne,
Well, I think I've been to that road many times, and am glad i have cutie to spend additional time with when ever i feel bored. that's the bad thing about loosing power, the rest are gone too. we used to have that long faucet that's reliable when ever regular wster is out but can't be use because it hasn't been into maintenance lately.

Hello nice to see you again. well, i still have a few stuff to download and create some scenes. last night I was able to watch some of the movie scenes that i have downloaded from the internet. but for now, i might think of downloading a few more since youtube have started deleting movie scenes which is very alarming to me.

Hi Letran, hope you get all those things fixed quickly. I've got them all to come yet but as soon as the wind hits at the same time as the storms, we generally lose the lot too. So far recently I've only lost the phone line but the internet line was still intact as two separate lines. Of course when the electric goes off I lose everything even the phone. Time to place the candles in handy places again. See you soon.

hello thea,
They had the line fix, and there's a dial tone now. but the problem is that the cable line outside, they should have come and fix it, well, at least that's what i thought they did. the equipment that is hanging for the two cables are about to get loose because of the past winds.

I remembered how strong the wind was last night. I always wake up in the wee hours of the morning because of the whooshing sound.
I am glad that it didn't flood like the last time. It really is a relief.
Good luck on your video!

hello koala,
Yeah, i heard them too that night, and it was strong but i didn't mind since our roof and all the ceiling holes got fixed before the next typhoon ever came. as for my video, it's still in it's infancy stage but some of the characters are already made only to create a few more.

hello sabirin, i did wish that life would have been simpler if that's the case but when it comes to disasters, you just can't help wonder if we are truly safe, even in the US, no matter how safe they are against crime, the weather can be much of a threat most specially the earth's climate change. no thanks to our pollution that is causing all of this

Hi sabirin: i do the same here. I prayed everyday because i know that people are suffering because of these disasters and that they need our help, i hope everything will be right for them. As you know, while we're living there's still hope, we have to share them with all persons that have lost everything in the last weeks. Thanks for you're answer we have to keep working. Have a nice day.
