    One of the high-traffic days of this blog was in July 2011, thanks to my post about PNoy’s July 2011 State of the Nation Address. I am pretty sure that posting about the next Philippines’ SONA, which is on 2012, would be a great idea because it will make not only “me” (who loves blog traffic) happy, but also those who will be searching for videos and transcript of SONA 2012.

    So as early as now I’m preparing this post about PNoy’s SONA 2012.

    Following are SONA 2012 information that I plan to collect and share in this post:

  • Receive Moneygram money transfer in the Philippines

    I had to visit a Moneygram branch today to receive money that was sent to me. Western Union is where I usually receive money from other countries, and they have many branches. I did a lookup in the Moneygram website to find nearby branches but couldn’t find any.

    Tropical Storm “FALCON” has maintained its strength as it continues to move North Northwestward.

    If I am correctly informed, the Falcon Storm / Bagyong Falcon is a signal number one storm.

    The Falcon Storm reminds me so much of Bagyong Ondoy (Typhoon Ketsana) because of the nonstop rainfall and many flooded streets / roads.

    Let us pray that Falcon Storm leaves soon so we would not experience again what happened when there was Ondoy. Many homes were flooded, and there was power outage for several days. It was nightmare.

    According to PAGASA (Issued At: 5:00 p.m., 24 June 2011): (more…)
