we are actually sorting out the clothes that we dont need and use them as a help for others. we have some groceries too. luckily we weren't affected by the flood...but most people are too so l'm still not happy.
Those cars floating really creeped me out. Some people were inside those cars.

September 28, 2009 by moongirl

Update: A million thanks to every single person who has forwarded me info. Many of them are in the Comments below, or on Facebook. This list is being updated constantly – please keep ‘em coming.

I’m not one for feeling helpless – and neither are the rest of the Filipinos around the world. When Typhoon Ondoy struck Manila this weekend and buried 80% of it underwater, everyone went online on Facebook and Twitter and started what my dad calls People Power 3.
