We Over Prepared to Be Safe

Thank you Lord for keeping all of us safe from the supertyphoon. It caused a lot of destruction for other areas, but with your provision and blessings we will rebuild.

We overprepared for the typhoon. We previously put sandbags around our doors. Sweetie also reinforced it with boards and additional sandbags to make sure our basement won't get flooded. We were scared that the sewer pipe would backflow to our backyard again. 

We went around the house to check for damage. Some plants were toppled over, but most were okay. I discovered St. Fialcre recently and have been praying to him for the success of our garden. Despite the strong wind gusts, everything was intact. 

I pray for the quick recovery of areas severely affected by the typhoons. If you have extra please donate to Angat Buhay.

God bless us all in this new week.

Weathering the Storm

The wind started howling as soon as I finished preparing our food. Miggy helped me and took care of cooking the sausages while I prepped the tapa for marinating. I was washing some dishes when a low howling sound came from the pocket garden. Typhoon Uwan was just around the corner.

I followed Miggy when he went to the front door to check the plants. The tall trees across us was swaying because of the wind. It wasn't as strong yet, the forecast is it will be stronger from 7pm onwards.

We've been preparing the past few days. I asked Sweetie to reinforce the sandbags in our backyard. After going through several typhoons that inundated our childhood homes, it's better to be over prepared. 

We've also been glued to watching and monitoring the news for weather updates. The typhoon's track has been changing, so it's better to be well informed.

Praying that the typhoon will not cause harm to anyone. Our kitties are warm and safe too.

The Calm Before the Storm

To prepare for the coming typhoon, we focused on cutting tall branches and reinforcing plants that can be toppled over by the wind.

I'm just praying that the newly planted trees would stay put. It's just been two weeks since Mang Henry landscaped our front lawn, so hopefully the roots have stabilized a bit already.

To be honest, we're all feeling anxious at home. We've weathered a lot of storms, but I cannot help but remember the time when typhoon Ondoy hit. I don't want to experience that ever again, much more so since Mom and Dad are no longer around. It's just different when your parents are still around.

Let's all pray for safety and for the storm to pass without hurting anyone. 🙏
