Sorry if I wasn’t able to update my blog the past week as I have been very busy helping my aunt, her family, and their barangay. My Aunt lost her house last September 26, 2009 due to Typhoon Ondoy, and so do most of her neighbors.

September 26, 2009 is the worst day of my life.

September 26, 2009

11:00am

My tita called for help since flood waters have entered their house in Barangay Sta. Lucia – Novaliches, Quezon City and was already knee deep. I immediately went there with my godfather. Normally, travel time is only 30 minutes, but that day, it took us more than 1 hour.

12:30pm

When we arrived, flood inside my aunt’s house was already neck deep. I told my cousins, nephews and nieces to run (or swim) for the car as the water is rising very fast. In a matter of minutes, their house was gone.

1:00pm

People are already swimming everywhere and you can see panic. I wanted to help them but our Everest is full and all we can do is watch them flee their homes. Most of the streets were already flooded and impassable for small cars, so when I saw a street that’s waist deep, I drove our SUV and prayed that we get to the other side.

2:45pm

We managed to get out of Barangay Sta. Lucia, but most of Quirino Highway were also flooded. I brought my cousins and their kids to my grandmother’s house at the back of ABC-5 since roads to our subdivision were flooded.

3:30pm

I called my youngest sister and informed her that we cannot go home. I was shocked when she told me that flood waters have also engulfed more than half of our subdivision and water was already inside our garage. She and Mocha were alone at home. I wanted to go home but roads to our subdivision are all impassable, even to rubber boats as the currents were very strong.

I told my sister to get all the important documents and give it to our neighbor in case water enters our home. I was checking them every 20mins. I can’t sleep and eat that day because the rain won’t stop.

September 27, 2009

8:00am

Me and my cousins went to our house first thing in the morning. We’re all shocked to see the damage Ondoy has brought to our subdivision. Damage to our subdivision was nothing compared to what happened to my cousins’ home at Barangay Sta. Lucia in Novaliches. Their house was completely destroyed by Ondoy, and so do most of their neighbors.

I guess we’re still lucky since no one got hurt.

Up to this day, aunt’s family is living with us. Most of the residents of Sta. Lucia are seeking shelter at the evacuation center since they have no more homes to return to.

GAMEOPS DONATION DRIVE

My GameOPS family saw what happened to that Barangay. They all wanted to help everyone, but they can’t. Glen, Rocky, Jepoy and Mark decided to focus aid on Barangay Sta. Lucia since there are other places that have far worse conditions compared to Sta. Lucia.

People on this barangay lost not just their homes, but their livelihoods as well. Some even lost their lives. Let’s all help them stand up and start a new life. I know our efforts are just temporary but it’s still a start.

We’re targeting at least US$500 so we can purchase food, water and medical supplies. We’re also accepting used clothing, canned goods (preferably those ready to eat), medicines (for: fever, diarrhea, cough, colds, fungal infections, etc.), and personal hygiene (soap, shampoo, sanitary napkins, toothpaste, toothbrushes, underwear, footwear, cleaning supplies).

Students of member schools of the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) and the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) gathered in a festive inter-university blowout mounted this weekend by leading wireless Internet provider Smart Bro.

Worthy of a Guinness record title, the huge crowd turn-out in “B Free Day” reached peak excitement as 10,000 units of Smart Bro prepaid wireless modems or ‘dongles’ were given away for free to the students, a first in the marketing initiatives by a wireless broadband company in the country.

This is in line with Smart Bro’s partnership with the two premier collegiate sports leagues, which produced limited editions of Smart Bro Plug Its, dongles designed with the sports team monickers of UAAP and NCAA member schools. These are Adamson University, Ateneo, La Salle, FEU, National University, UE, UST and UP for UAAP. The NCAA member schools are College of St. Benilde (CSB), Jose Rizal University, Letran, Mapua, San Beda, San Sebastian, Philippine Christian University (on leave), and University of Perpetual Help.

“Supporting school sports is one of our advocacies as these provide positive entertainment and promote healthy competition among the youth. Giving away the dongles is our reward to them, in line with Smart Bro’s goal of delivering Internet for all,” explained Smart marketing group head Annie P. Naval.

UAAP Season 72  president Anton Montinola said the league was “happy to be associated with Smart, a quality organization with quality products that cater to the youth, just like the UAAP. We are very thankful for this collaboration.”

On the other hand, NCAA 85^th Season chair Jose Mari Lacson said, “We only partner with number one, and this should add spice to what the NCAA is all about, which is that of keeping up with the times.”

The NCAA board’s marketing committee head Henry Atayde also said “it’s about time we introduced something new, young and fresh since we’re the oldest league in the country.” Earnings from the partnership will be used for the scholarship program of CSB, the school he represents.

This first-of-its kind event was a fitting get-together for students as the collegiate sports season moved towards heated final playoffs that will decide the fate of their school teams.

Held at the Megatent in Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City, “B Free Day” thrilled the student crowd with back-to-back performances by popular rock bands Sandwich, Hale and Spongecola; raffle draws; and games and treats reminiscent of school fairs such as bail out jail booth, balloon darts, ball toss, back massages, burgers, beverages and other sponsors’ freebies—all beginning with the letter ‘b’.

Another popular section of “B Free” featured a remount of the successful Smart Bro Broadbandemonium – The Great SMART Bro Sale. The sale brought together major PC brands Acer, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Neo and Toshiba, which have bundled Smart Bro in some of their latest models, to give buyers the right equipment to enjoy the Internet with Smart Bro’s fast connectivity.

Smart Communications, Inc. recently launched its expanded HSPA network nationwide, from Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte to Digos, Davao del Sur—with many more cellsites expected to go live before 2009 ends. Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, and other key cities are already covered with seamless, high-speed mobile broadband which provides a subscriber high speeds of up to 5.8Mbps, enabling Smart Bro subscribers to enjoy the fastest wireless broadband service when surfing the internet.

Yes folks! What you’re seeing is my first chicken adobo. I can cook rice using a rice cooker and I can also fry and boil almost anything and the best of all, I can heat food using our microwave! But this Chicken Adobo is the first real dish I’ve cooked myself… with my mother’s help on the preparation though. She was guiding me on every step

I didn’t measure our ingredients, only estimates. Anyway, here’s what you’ll need if you want to try out Princess Mocha’s Chicken Adobo.

INGREDIENTS:

• chicken – 1/2 kilo
• soy sauce – (3/4 cup estimate)
• vinegar – (3/4 cup estimate)
• garlic (crushed)
• onion (chopped)
• pepper
• water – (1/4 cup estimate)

HOW TO :

1. Put all the ingredients in a pot, and let it boil until chicken is tender. Then set aside.
2. Saute garlic until golden brown then add everything in step1.
3. Season with salt and pepper according to your prefer taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar if you want it a bit sweet.
4. Serve with hot steamed rice.

The taste? Well, my mama, sister, cousin and my baby Mocha ate everything. Not bad for a beginner I suppose.

Bayo, a clothing line in the Philippines, sponsored a charity to help feed the less fortunate children in Mindanao via KC Concepcion’s hoodie and jackets. These hoodies and jackets were designed by KC herself and are now available nationwide.

The proceeds of this project will help feed poor children in the Philippines especially in the Mindanao area.
