Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy) creating havoc in Vietnam
Ketsana reached Cambodia now. The international news (BBC) reported that death toll reached 30 now and 10 missing.
Also shown below the diagram how the other 3 typhoon which was suppose to hit Philippines right after Ondoy diverted its path. Thank God. Really. No amount of words can explain the feeling when I read one of Philippines' well-known blogger/artist Chuvaness (http://chuvaness.livejournal.com/) insight about the storm.
She's right. What if the storm/flash flood suddenly hit our country week days when school is on and everybody's at work instead of Saturday? Imagine the scene....
Let us all pray not only for the Philippines but for those who are now also affected by the typhoon. Pray that he stop. Pray that God stop him now.

Another one bites the dust...
In life, you could make mistakes and be forgiven. In cyberspace, you make a mistake and the world will crucify you BIG TIME!

29 September 2009 DUBAI — A Dubai-based Filipina, who called the devastating flash floods in the Philippines “a well-deserved punishment for the sins of the Filipino people”, is facing harassment from her compatriots across the globe through social networking websites “Facebook” and “Starfishbuang.multiply”.
Several hours after the flash floods washed away houses and killed people in Metro Manila and in 25 provinces in eastern Luzon, the woman commented, “Buti n lng am hir in dubai! maybe so many sinners bak der! so yeah deserving wat hapend” referring to what happened back in Manila at the height of Typhoon Ondoy’s onslaught. (Good that I am here in Dubai! Maybe so many sinners back there! So yeah they deserve of what happened).
This comment earned the anger and outburst of Filipinos worldwide who started vilifying her in social networking websites where the blog appeared. Facebook members even claimed in their press statement that they were able to unmask her identity, her workplace, and contact number. They also contacted her employer pushing for her sacking from the company.
An irate blogger started Monday a group website in Facebook titled “JB Be Gone, We Sinners Don’t Want You Here”. Filipino bloggers have flocked to dish out grievances against the said Filipina calling her Facebook blog “so insensitive”.
Another blogger identified her as working in an HR Department of a property firm in Dubai and many others called on her to apologise. However, efforts to reach out for her comments have failed. “You so insensitive! People are dying out there and you say they deserve it!”
Apologise before it’s too late,” one comment reads in Starfishbuang.multiply. Countless comments are posted every minute on Facebook.
Huge comments have left ill-wishing remarks, and hundreds are more rapidly launching online campaigns to bring what they called tasteless and insensitive remarks to the awareness of the masses.
“Heartless! It would have been better if it were you who drowned. You do not know how many people are affected in the disaster!,” a comment stated.
Reads another blog in Tagalog, “If you know that a member of your family died, maybe you will eat your words. And if tsunami hits Dubai, your name will be the first to come out in the dead list. It’s better to be nobody than to be somebody but the entire Philippines is angry at you. Let us see if the Immigration will still allow you to come back.”
Her brother came to her rescue saying that her Facebook and Friendster accounts are hacked, which conveniently lead to the conclusion that the latter may have been a victim of identity fraud all along.
“My sister is educated, a graduate of the University of the Philippines, and does not speak English as crudely as is evident in the infamous Facebook comment. We come from a known political family and my sister would never do anything to tarnish the reputation of the family name,” her brother explained.
A sympathiser to this Filipino also wrote to the Filipino reporters saying she did not conform to the barrage of ill-wishing remarks.
From the Facebook, a lady blogger said, “I totally agree to walwyn, her brain is not sharp enough to compensate the results of her actions. So, let’s just forgive her as much as we can forgive our pets whenever they break something in the house…(and that’s to be serious). I was also irritated last night, but hey, I pity the girl now.”

In case you don't know the the story yet--try to Google her name "Jacque Bermejo", you'll get 168,000 find for her name! All in just 2 days! hehehehe! (or maybe more)

Even the local news here in UAE fell for this "accidental celebrity":

My last words?--Think before you write--or before you post...hehehe.
I'm here in UAE (Abu Dhabi) for almost a decade now. But my heart never changed. Why should we? As they always say...there's no place like home.
Btw, there is already an official statement given by her. I really hope she's not lying that someone hacked her accounts. It must be someone who knows her so much--but whatevs.
On the other news (the real news not reel news):
Please visit my blog http://pamilyamatters.blogspot.com/ for further information on how to help our kababayans, the real victims of typhoon Ondoy.
Can you imagine your self being on a situation like that? You don't want the nature to give you the "statement" right...ehehehe!
Life is too short, let us not live with regrets....

Fire in Abu Dhabi...
O can't come to office this morning as their building (particularly Floor 10) was caught on fire. When we passed on their street this morning, a lot of people are on the street, sitting by the Pizza Hut area (Hamdan). She stays in Al Yousuf bldg. (near Golden Fork, Hamdan) and stays at 11th Floor.
I would want to take pictures when we passed by but knowing the rules here in UAE--I didn't dare--don't want to be in trouble.
Anyways, it came out in the news this morning...here's the link for all of you guys:
Btw, all is well. She came to office unharmed... =) Thank God.
On the other news, the girls are all grooming up for the end of year--meaning 2010 with fresh new slimmer look. No Rice Diet is the fad now. Ehem. hopefully, again--crossing our fingers here...heheheh! no more, I'm sealing my lips!
