bury me in this dress

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.
