I saw how serious it is on the news. Is your area affected badly?
Addie said,
August 7, 2012 at 9:26 PM
My area is a bit of a highland, so no. Praise God. But it’s crazy outside.

My area is not so much affected but sis lives in Pasig and you know how terrible it can get over there. One of my girlfriends is still trapped in her office.

Hope everything comes back to normal soon. I happen to live in the line of fire from Africa, in the Atlantic, and we get brushed by so many storms! Last year hurricane Irene practical formed as she crossed over our island and it was scary. I pray no more hurricanes come our way or yours. (hugs)

We do all pray Addie. I’ve never seen this situation, just now.
Please be safe.

My friends in Los Angeles, USA were telling me about a mild earthquake that woke them from their slumber — my response was telling them about the monsoon in the Philippines. The situation looks worse than Taiwan last month — I hope you and yours are keeping safe. I just have a question if the colors of the hands and the symbols on the hands mean anything?
Addie said,
August 9, 2012 at 10:09 AM
The colors, blue and red, would signify the Philippine flag. As for the symbols, Anjo Bolarda on Facebook says they don’t mean anything and that they’re just for aesthetics.
