Storm signal no. 2 is up in Metro Manila and so with the rest of Central Luzon as it became the main path way of the brave typhoon "Basyang". We already witnessed the and suffer from the recent typhoons came across our country, Filipino's are all shocked when typhoon "Ondoy" took it's grave killing masses of Filipino all over the country, clashed huge structures and properties. Are we really prepared enough for this? What are your preparations?

Well I think when disaster strikes it really caught us unprepared always because there are just things that we don't expect but happens anyway. Like in my situation, we have out flashlights prepared and put in battery and checked it if it is working but I think last night when we needed it most we were not able to make good use of it as it is malfunctioning at all. So things like these can really happen when disaster strikes. Good thing our transistor radio was working fine so we can at least monitor news.

I feel sorry bout that flashlight thing, that was my problem last night I went to the grocery the night before Basyang totally landfall in Metro Manila, i bought foods in case the typhoon last for a couple of days but I forgot to buy batteries for our flashlight and radio, that night we experienced brown out and my flashlight and radio kept useless, haayzzz,.
