I’m Alive
Whoa, it’s exactly one month today since my last post. So what really happened to me and BlogDeManila.com?
First, I had a problem with my webhost.
Yes, you’ve read it right. I have other 6 other blogs/websites that I’m managing and, unfortunately, only BlogDeManila (BDM) was affected. The good news is, it’s already up and running!
Second, I survived Storm Ondoy!
I won’t bore you the details about it but I did some rescuing on my mom-in-laws’ house, who was home alone when the storm hit. Unfortunately while doing the rescue mission, I accidentally stepped on a sharp object while crossing a raging water. In just few hours, my right foot swelled that made me nervous. Since I can’t walk properly, my brother in-law rescued me from their house at 4AM and brought me to the hospital for the anti-tetanus shot.
By the way, my brother-in-law lost PhP .5M worth of equipments due to this flood. He was not home when it happened and most of his photography and office equipments submerged into the muddy water.

Third, I survived Storm Pepeng!

Kennon Road Entry - Storm Pepeng
We went to Baguio City two days before Storm Pepeng hits the Northern part of the Philippines. We were aware that a storm is coming but we don’t have any idea that it will stay for a week and will bring a catastrophic damages in the area. The weather forecast at that time was, the storm will just past hurriedly because of it’s speed. We were really surprised that it stayed and brought down all the water of Pacific ocean continuously for seven days!

After surviving all the virtual and real life drama, I’m proud to report that BlogDeManila is alive, kicking and ready to rock the Blogosphere again!

my foot is healed already but it seems one of my toes’ nerves has been affected. I’m having a hard time to move it. I might go to the hospital tomorrow to have it checked.

welcome back! I feel sorry for your bro in law, that was a great value indeed.. mahal pa naman ng mga photography equipments
@Bambie, I guess it’s not my bro in law’s year. His condominium in Fort Bonifacio was burglarized yesterday at broad daylight while he was in the meeting. He lost some cash and valuables.
A friend of him who left a bag in his condo before they proceeded to the meeting lost his DSLR and guess what….? a Rolex watch worth PhP1.3M!!!
ay, salamat po kuya. I sent you email. ^^
It’s good to know okay na kayo. Hassle talaga yang bagyong yan.
