Pray for the Philippines

I got an email from one of my blogger friends from Canada requesting an update on what's going on since it's all over the news that a deadly storm hit the Philippines.

Super typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) is one of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded slammed into the Philippines. The strength of Haiyan remains equal to that of a powerful Category 4 hurricane. It made its landfall in the Visayan region in Central Philippines. The super typhoon carries a maximum wind speeds of 195 miles per hour with gusts up to 235 mph. For comparison, an airplane takes off at speeds in the range of 160 mph. 

Philippines' second largest city, Cebu, is still trying to recover from a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit them last month. 

My family and I are okay. We're based in Metro Manila which is part of Luzon.

Please remember the Philippines in prayer.

Typhoon Haiyan is now heading to Vietnam.

Boo!

Today I spent the whole day in bed, watching the news and playing the Smurf's village. My meeting this morning was cancelled.  

There's no typhoon, but the rain kept pouring non stop since Sunday. Now it's flooded all over Metro Manila. My family's safe, thank God.

Please pray for the others who lost their houses and other stuff because of the flood. Pray also for the others who lost a loved one because of this.

I hope the weather improves already.

Please Pray

***UPDATE AS OF SEPT. 28 ***

Our friends are now safe but some of them have lost everything... =(

I'd like to ask you, my friends, to please pray for us. A strong typhoon hit Metro Manila and a huge part of it was submerged under water. I thank the Lord for keeping me and my family safe but a lot of my friends were not. Some of them are still nowhere to be found and some were on the roof of their houses waiting to be rescued, all their properties have gone under water. We just got a text message a while ago that some of our friends haven't eaten yet. So many people died already.
Please pray for all of us.
