Praying for Help for the Philippines!

Over the past week, I've watched in horror as the biggest typhoon ever hit the Philippines.

Super Typhoon Haiyan has caused much devastation. It leveled houses, reduced buildings to rubble, farmland and livestock is basically gone. And the people...oh my God...families, friends, loved ones all strewn about. In just one area there are thousands missing, dead or displaced from their homes. (Click here to view images of destruction.)

I don't believe any of my family in the Philippines was too affected from the reports I have seen and heard so far, and for that I am truly grateful. But with most communication out, it is still hard to tell. This typhoon blanketed the whole nation, that's how huge it was. And in the city of Tacloban, in the province of Leyte, everything seems to have been destroyed.

I am speechless. I haven't seen this much devastation since Hurricane Katrina in the U.S.. And even that I don't think was anywhere near this bad. Plus, there's another storm, Zoraida, coming in and ready to sweep up any vestiges of recovery. Lord help them!

The people of the Philippines will need help from everyone. I am imploring all of my readers for help. Please, please help! My God.

Below is a link to an article with descriptions of agencies providing relief efforts and a link to each of their pages. Please my friends...help!

CNBlue Wraps Up Blue Moon Concert in Manila!

I've been so wrapped up in We Got Married drama that I didn't post this earlier!

I've been seeing the promos for CNBlue's Blue Moon Arena Tour for this summer and I saw that the hardworking rockers of CNBlue have been busy. They had a stop in Sydney, Australia (where it was super hot according to leader Yong Hwa) and now have posted these awesome photos their concert from Manila, the Philippines.

It looks like the guys really brought the house down!

Philippines Hit by Bopha

Typhoon Bopha hit the Philippines Tuesday with winds over 125 miles an hour and wind gusts just as strong.

Severe flooding in several provinces with at least 200 dead and the toll climbing.

My heart goes out to families, including my own, that are there. I can only pray that they are all safe. Readers please keep them in your thoughts and prayers...
