Lunar August

Basing from the Chinese lunar calendar, today is mid autumn. It is the time of year when the moon is brightess. It is an auspicious day where the (Chinese August) Moon Festival is being celebrated. According to old folk's belief, this is the best time of the year to embark on any activities like wedding, transfer of residence or start of a business. 

It was during this time of the year, that the family transfered residence in 1980. We have been living in this house for 26 years now. Tonight, we shall be celebrating the August moon festival at home with friends by playing the lucky dice game. Elsewhere many people are playing similar games too. Happy August Moon everyone!

Another typhoon

Another typhoon is coming and the weather in Cotabato is manifesting the approach although the storm is not passing here but through the Visayan region and maybe north of Luzon.

I am however wary because there are still no electricity and phone line at my home in Metro Manila. ( although many other places have their electricity restored already) I am worried because there is a new born baby to care for, and with the remaining last school weeks before the finals in Ateneo, how can Marion study and work at night. Our food in the ref are spoiled but thank God water flow is good.

I hope that Meralco will be able to restore our electric today and pray that the next approaching typhoon would not create as much havoc as Milenyo.
