I apologized for remaining silent during these times. Before anything else, I would like to thank everyone who have personally emailed, twittered and messaged me to check on me, my family and our pack. We are, fortunately, lucky to have been spared by Typhoon Haiyan's wrath. Unfortunately, a lot of Filipino families have lost their loved ones, their homes and their pets because of the devastation it has caused.
My mom's house wasn't as lucky. A part of her roof flew and a wall had split in half. The strong winds and rains hit the island where my hometown is and the damage was overwhelming. Some friends and schoolmates of mine have had their homes wiped out because they lived in the area where the typhoon struck.

For this, I am asking everyone to please pray for the victims and survivors of Typhoon Haiyan (Typhoon Yolanda) that they may find the strength and courage to rebuild their lives and battle the hunger, sickness and loss they are currently going through.
I would also like to thank the countries who have provided the Philippines with foreign aid and assistance to get through this ordeal.
