The destruction to lives and properties is overwhelming considering these are not really well-to-do provinces where a lot rely on agriculture for their livelihood.

Australia and Brazil are suffering the same sad state. The USA and Europe are blanketed by snow. Birds are falling dead from the sky. Scary yes but these weather-related have been here millions of years ago, long before men have destroyed the environment.

Typhoon Megi or Juan is one of the strongest typhoon ever to hit the country at category 5 or in local terms, signal #4. Everyone is panicking, and why not?

The typhoon is covering the country and even beyond. Signal number 4 has only been given three times in the same areas, Cagayan, Isabela and Aurora since 1998: Harurot in 2003 (when we were aboard a supercat ferry down south and I got seasick, ugh!) and Paeng in 2006.

Futbol fans will be glued to their web tv and/or televised games of the World Cup Final on July 11, 2010.

Scientists and solar eclipse enthusiasts however are looking forward to seeing a total solar eclipse on July 11 at Cook Islands. The solar eclipse which will probably last for 5 minutes and 20 seconds will start at sunrise.

Still plenty of time to watch the World Cup Final. I might even try to watch both, in a while.
