An online friend who happened to be an OFW in Bahrain approached me if I could help him find his missing dad through posting this article in my blog. With all my heart, of course…

It’s been 4 years now since my dad was missing last 27th of September 2005. Until now, my family still do not know whether he’s dead or alive. My last conversation with my dad over the phone happened last 4 years ago. He just disappeared without any traced at all.

Today, 27th of September 2009 is the fourth year anniversary of my missing dad. I am hoping that my family will be able to know whether he’s still alive or dead already.

I can still recall the happiest moment together with my dad. When I was a kid around 3 to 6 years old, my dad would always brought me to any place where he conducted his business all over the Philippines. My mom called me, “Dad’s Pet.” Read full article here.

If anyone of you happen to know his dad or aware where his dad is, please leave James a message.

With all the damages that Ondoy and other typhoons had recently done to us, don’t you think it’s necessary for everyone to get a home insurance? I’ve been thinking about it lately, really… Though our house had already been tested by the past calamities that includes Mt. Pinatubo eruption, I still think it  will be better to get it insured. Our house is the only thing that my parents have invested together.

I’m just glad that Zambales wasn’t hit by flood this time. We had experienced strong winds yesterday, but that’s about it!

Be safe! I hope there won’t be more typhoons coming.

I was actually looking at this item - A Piece of Chocolate Ring - when I learned that A Little Bit of Everything is currently holding its Etsyversary Giveaway Contest. Of course, I won’t let this pass. Who knows I might get one of these:

We moved down yesterday. Since rainy season isn’t over yet, we decided not to bring our appliances and furniture down - yet. Thank God I bought an airbed early this year. With a small TV, air-conditioner (this helps my rashes calm down a bit) and a laptop with me in our bedroom, I’m perfectly fine.
