So many lives lost, homes destroyed, families displaced and so much more damage was caused by Typhoon Ondoy, which can be likened to Hurricane Katrina and it seems it dumped more rain than Katrina.
Yes, it is the worst flood according to the weather bureau PAGASA.
Now the cleaning up operations is on the way, in some areas where the flood water receded.
If only it were as easy as doing motorhome towing but these homes that were destroyed need more than towing. These homes need rebuilding.
In some areas, bodies are still being retrieved, lifeless ones. There are fires, oil spill and incidence of looting. This is so sad, so depressing, amidst the swelling outpouring of help, volunteerism and charitable work.
For donations, several companies are opening their branches like McDonald’s and gasoline stations.

With so many candidates vying for a few choice positions in different corporate offices, having a graduate degree is something that will set a candidate apart from others.
Having a degree in Psychology and an almost completed graduate degree in another field, I have wanted to learn about organizational leadership. Reading further about this, I have been looking for an Organizational development university offering the course. I have to look for a local university of course for convenience.
Anyway, I reviewed the course being offered and I became interested further more about it.
- forge alliances
- build hope and contagious confidence
- inspire a shared vision
- turn details into action
- think creatively
The above made me convinced that this is not just a “stepping stone” course but something that will also promote more self-confidence and the ability to understand the different perspectives and the changes happening around us.

When we went to attend Red Ribbon’s White Forest Cake presentation, we were treated to one of the newest addition to the bakeshop’s menu: Grilled Ensaymada and Farmer’s Ham.
This is a wonderful set that goes with the White Forest Cake. Finish off with a cup of coffee and I am blissfully and gastronomically happy.
That said, appetite suppressants can wait after this plate and this plate have been finished.
Burp! Excuse me.
