When I woke up Thursday morning to alarmingly dark skies, I expected the worse.

Good thing I didn't hold my breath.

It's apparent that super-typhoon Milenyo's left us all paranoid. Even before the storm Reming was supposed to hit Metro Manila, people have been scurrying off to their respective homes to board up their windows and chop down their trees (okay, maybe just the branches). The government even suspended classes in anticipation. Pfft. Thursday was a complete waste.

Then again, I shouldn't really complain. I'm thankful we were spared from the carnage, destruction, death and the blackouts.

And I feel extremely sorry for those greatly affected by super-super-typhoon Reming and condolences to those who lost their loved ones. I saw the storm's wake on the news yesterday, and it almost literally wiped towns and provinces off the Philippine map. O_o

Speaking of natural calamaties, I'm thinking of watching Al Gore and David Guggenheim's An Inconvenient Truth. It looks interesting enough.

In other "news", I was one of the more unfortunate ones who stumbled upon Britney Spears' controversial picture to date. HEL-LO DOWN THERE. Woosh. My eyes are burning.
