Thank you, Hero Peewee Bacuño for the video link.

With the recent tragedy that hit Negros, we all have to be prepared in case it struck us again.  I remember my friends telling me horrible stories about how they got out of their school when that earthquake in 1990 shook most parts of Luzon.  They were clearly in a state of panic, unorganized and just plain burst out of the school in any possible way, and that includes climbing out the gate--while in a skirt.

While we all hope earthquake and other environmental catastrophes will never find its way to Capalonga, it always helps to be prepared than caught off-guard.

Here's an article from the internet that could help us understand the things we need to do in case of an earthquake.  Do share it with your loved ones.

"In MOST situations, you will reduce your chance of injury if you:

• DROP down onto your hands and knees (before the earthquakes knocks you down). This position protects you from falling but allows you to still move if necessary.

• COVER your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk. If there is no shelter nearby, only then should you get down near an interior wall (or next to low-lying furniture that won't fall on you), and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.

• HOLD ON to your shelter (or to your head and neck) until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking shifts it around."

Let's all be safe.

Let's show off our home to the whole world

A few stuff, if I may have your attention, please.

First of all, let me greet you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!  It's been long too long since your humble blogger wrote something of note here.  I can't say I was too busy (because I am not), but I can see that with the swarm of new members in our facebook page, it's almost unnecessary to write anything anymore, I mean, we all get the info we crave for just by logging in on facebook.  So thank you very much for dropping by to check what's cooking in this page, means a lot to me, promise. =)

Happy 2nd birthday to our facebook pages and this blog.  Seems like it was just yesterday when communication to our dear Kabihugs are limited to text messages and e-mails.  Thank goodness for technology.

Of course, I would not forget that it is Valentine's day today, so Happy Valentine's to everyone of you, let's spread love!

Below are some recent photos posted by Capalonga Tourism on their facebook page, there's a lot more pretty pictures in their albums, so may I suggest you visit their page and feast on the beauty of Capalonga.

These beautiful pictures, I have posted/pinned in a new website I have discovered fairly recently that I would like to invite you all in to join me.  It's called Pinterest, an online pin-board of everything you just want to take note of, or show off, or just another hobby you can start incorporating in your daily worldwide web visit.

We all wanted to show the beauty of Capalonga to the whole world, yeah?, so what better way than to post pictures of it all over the web for everyone else to see, not just your facebook friends, but also their friends and their friends and their friends, well you know.  Let's just not forget about internet etiquette when reposting/repinning.

Personally, I think, it's a great way to promote Capalonga, so why not try it and see how it'll work for you?  Maybe after two years, we can already create a museum of all the pictures we've pinned in the four corners of the world.

By the time you've read this, you probably got the invitation I have sent you.  Or maybe you can just click the pinterest follow me button in the left side of your screen.  But just for the record, this blogger is not forcing you to do anything you don't want to do, just a suggestion.

So, I look forward to a new year of fun and friendship with all of you!

Mabuhay ang mga Kabihug! =)
