bury me in this dress

Please see the new list here.

So many people in Luzon need help right now. Typhoon Ondoy brought the highest rainfall since 1967. I’m fortunate that I’m living in a relatively high place even though it flooded a little earlier. I have friends who are stuck in floods, traffic, etc. as I type this and I feel helpless that I can’t rescue anyone. Manolo is urging bloggers to blog emergency hotlines and rescue operations so I’ll do just that. It’s the least I can do to help.
