[Super Typhoon Parma, the strongest storm on the planet, is at 222km/ph and will hit Philippones around midnight today. Strong winds will hit us here too. Please take necessary precaution and don't be in the streets if not necessary. Stay in and inform all your loved onces and friends.]

Thousands of Filipinos who live near coastlines and mountainous areas were evacuated Friday as the storm-battered country braced for Typhoon Parma, which is expected to make landfall Saturday.

Filipino children reach for handouts at a flood evacuation center near the capital Manila, September 30

1 of 2 more photos » Parma, known locally as Typhoon Pepeng, comes on the heels of a weekend storm that killed hundreds in the Philippines and left most of Manila under water.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo placed the country "under the state of calamity" in preparation for Parma's landfall. She ordered evacuations as a precautionary measure against floods and landslides, and asked weather officials to issue an hourly update. She also urged local governments to implement forced evacuations if need be.

The order focuses on Camarines Norte, Aurora, northern Quezon, Polillo Island, Isabela and Cagayan.

Thousands have been evacuated in Isabela and rescue crews have a "standing order to use force if necessary" to move adults and children, said Paul Fernandez, who is overseeing disaster relief in Isabela. The government is providing the province with relief funds, he said.

Evacuees are being taken to schools and warehouses on higher ground, he said.
Macapagal-Arroyo said disaster-relief crews in vulnerable areas must be equipped with life-saving kits, boats, portable generators and trucks.

Parma had maximum sustained winds of 138 mph (222 km/hr), said Jennifer Delgado, CNN meteorologist. It is likely to move slow with torrential rainfall and strong winds, she said.
Within the next 24 hours, Parma could develop into a super typhoon, the Philippines weather bureau said.

The typhoon tipped back and forth between typhoon and super typhoon status Thursday. Meteorologists consider a super typhoon to be one with sustained winds of about 150 mph (241 km/hr). It is expected to bring heavy rainfall and major property damage to the Philippines on Saturday, Delgado said.

"Landslides and mudslides are a great possibility," she said. The five-day tracking map shows the storm south of Taiwan on Monday.

Tropical Storm Ketsana, which swallowed whole houses and buses over the weekend, killed 246 in the Philippines. It later strengthened into a typhoon. An additional 38 are missing, the National Disaster Coordinating Council said.

The storm affected nearly 2 million people and forced the evacuation of 567,000.
At one point, 80 percent of the capital, Manila, was under water after experiencing the heaviest rainfall in 40 years. The storm also killed at least 74 people in Vietnam and nine in Cambodia

Electricity tariffs for households to go up by 12.5% in Q4

SINGAPORE : For the quarter starting in October, electricity tariffs for households will go up by 12.5 per cent or 2.41 cents to 21.69 cents per kilowatt-hour.

SP Services said the increase is due largely to significantly higher fuel oil prices over the last three months, which rose by about 21 per cent to S$92.03 per barrel.

The company added that this brings the fuel oil price to around the level in the first quarter of this year.

This is the second quarter tariffs have gone up, after they dipped in the first two quarters of this year.

In July, tariffs went up by 7 per cent.

Starting from July, the Energy Market Authority has used a new formula for calculating tariffs - taking the average price of oil in the three months of the previous quarter, instead of the first month of the previous quarter.

Michael Jackson 'died of a drug overdose'

according to reports..

Michael Jackson died after a heart attack triggered from a cocktail of seven different prescription drugs according to that latest reports coming out of Los Angeles.


The pop superstar, 50, was pronounced dead at 2.36pm local time after falling into a deep coma at his home in Holmby Hills, California.

US celebrity magazine Life & Style says Jacko was hooked on prescription drugs.

A source told them that the star had been popping pills, including anti-anxiety drugs Xanax and Zoloft and painkiller Demerol, for weeks before his death and that an overdose had caused respiratory and cardiac arrest.

The Jackson family lawyer Brian Oxman had already alluded to the involvement of drugs in the singer's death when he likened the pop star's death to that of tragic star Anna Nicole Smith in an interview with CNN.

He also blamed the people who surrounded the star for his death.

He said: "I believe (his manager) Frank DiLeo was with him at the time (of his heart attack), that is what I have been told.

"This family has been trying for months and months and months to take care of Michael Jackson. The people who have surrounded him have been enabling him.

"If you think the case of Anna Nicole Smith was an abuse, that is nothing compared to what has taken place in the life of Michael Jackson.

"I do not know what medications he was taking, but the reports that we have received within the family are that they were extensive.

"I don't know the cause of all this. But this is something that I feared. This is a case of abuse of medications, unless the cause is something else.
"This was something which I feared and something which I warned about. Where there is smoke there is fire."

Michael Jackson dead at 50. All you need to know about the King of Pop.

PC Show

Went to Suntec PC Show on Friday with Baby. Reach there about 2pm, and the place is packed with peoples already. We were hunting for NetBook =) we visit the whole hall before deciding which to buy, hahas. 3 brand/model we are considering, which are Lenovo, Gateway or Eee.

The guy promoting Gateway really gives a great offer, but in the end we choose Lenovo although it was over our budget set in the first place. Because Gateway is not a well know brand, and the design of Lenovo is nicer, better quality, longer usage time and most importantly the guy agree to upgrade the RAM for us and a $50 cash discount. So we got it for $699 + $9 for a mouse, LOL!

After purchase the NetBook, went to JustAcia to meet Sky, Cash & the rest of the guys. Have a little chat with them, then me & Baby stay there for dinner. Nice food & very economic prices. =D~

After meal we went 1 round in Herene, and came across a Strange Aunty, this Aunty just bounce onto us and pass us each a receipt to take part a lucky draw, whatever the prizes is belong to us. She told ask each person only can draw 1 time, because they got record down. Oh well, so I hold Baby's hand and go towards the counter. Wow we got $10 or $20 restaurant voucher (Can't remember =X) then the kuku Aunty appear. Giving reason, "my sister want to eat" it is very obvious she want the voucher. My Baby's was talking on phone with her friend, and counldn't care much and hand the voucher to that Aunty without looking at her. I am angry with that kuku Aunty, if need our help just say ma.. need to ACT meh? Tsk Tsk.

Ok don't let that Stranger spoil our mood.
