The BIG LIST

Earthquakes, floods, and other disasters can seriously disrupt normal life. Services may not be available, transportation may be cut off and roads may be blocked. In some cases, you may be forced to evacuate. Be ready to respond to any situation by assembling and maintaining a Disaster Supplies Kit.

Water
Plan on one gallon of water per person per day. Store water in plastic containers such as soft drink bottles. Avoid using containers that will decompose or break, such as mason jars or glass bottles. Use water for health.

Because water is so important to human survival, it should never be withheld. Drink at least two quarts per day, as long as supplies last, and look for alternative sources.
Food
Store at least a three-day supply of no-perishable food. Choose foods that require no refrigeration, cooking, or preparation and are compact and lightweight. If food must be cooked, include a can of sterno.

Food suggestions:

• Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, and vegetables


• Canned juices, milk, soup (if powdered, store extra water)


• Staples-sugar, salt, pepper


• High energy foods-peanut butter, jelly, crackers, nuts, health food bars, trail mix.


• Comfort stress foods-cookies, hard candy, sweetened cereals.


• Vitamins

Container
Store the supplies in an easy-to-carry object such as a large, covered trash container, camping backpack, or a duffel bag.

First Aid Kits Have two first aid kits. Keep a complete first aid kit in your home and car.

Items to include:

• Sterile adhesive bandages in assorted sizes

Change the water supply every six months so it stays fresh. Rotate the food every six months. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about the proper procedure for storing prescription medications.

Preparing for KG

Vierte will be attending KG class this September and slowly we are preparing him to be on his own.

Last month we bought him a toddler car seat and convinced him that Mom stays with Daddy on the front seat while he's at the back. He's ok with it as long as we have tv monitor on and water on the side.

Kumon maze and some worksheets. I've found several sites which allows me to print worksheets on tracing lines. Now he knows how to hold a pencil. We are doing 2 worksheets daily.

Today is a gift that's why it's called Present.

This morning after doing some house chores a sad news from my sister Badet and cousin Ate Cristy greeted me online.

"Ate, si Uncle Jun patay na"
"Gail did you hear the news Uncle Jun left us na"

I didn't know how to react. Just last week I saw and read some of his posts in facebook. Uncle Jun (Tarcs to his friends) has a gift in writing. In his blog you'd learn a lot from his entries.

My Papa stayed with Uncle Jun's family and Papa became their Kuya. My first OJT was with him. I was with him during his stay at Makati Med for his first heart operation. We last saw each other when he went to Dubai for a business trip (sadly we didnt have any pictures taken) this is also the time that he told me of his plans to volunteer and made me promise not to spread this plan to the family. In one of his office he had a big poster of Judy Ann Santos which kept him amused. For the last month he posted old photos of the family remembering each event. I guess it was a sign of him saying goodbye and reminding us how important family is.

I know Uncle is happier now with his dad, lola Kaye, Auntie Grace, and Papa. I will forever miss you Uncle Jun.
