Help Ondoy Victims
Hey $WORLD, Philippines needs your help!
We just got hit by ondoy, and there seems to be a couple more storms coming in.
You can help out via donations to the Red Cross/Red Crescent. If you have friends or family in Manila, you can check the RescueHub and Sahana lists for persons missing and in distress.
And lastly, pray to your $DEITY for us (or do what works best for you.)
UPDATE: Google is helping out too. The local Red Cross is also accepting donations.
UPDATE 2: There's a new site up with additional info on the relief efforts.

Moving to Manila, Take 2
Ok, so I'm going ahead with my trip to Manila tomorrow, after my earlier delay. With a lot of relief efforts going on, I hope Manila's recovering now from Ondoy's onslaught. I'm both glad that the worst seems over, but sad for the loss of my fellow Filipinos, and worried about what seems to be more storms coming ahead.
Thanks to everyone praying for Manila's recovery, and for me and my companions' safety. I'll be offline the whole day tomorrow as we make the 9-hour trip. I hope nothing bad happens.
