Taal Volcano Eruption

We are just starting the Year 2020 and various natural disasters are happening around the world. The ongoing bushfires in Australia, the typhoon that struck Indonesia, and the recent one, the eruption of Taal volcano on January 12, 2020 located in Batangas province. Taal volcano is the second most active volcano in the Philippines with 34 recorded eruptions. The eruption spewed ashes to Batangas, Cavite, Metro Manila, Bulacan, Pampanga and some parts of Luzon. As per PHILVOLCS, Alert Level 4 still remains in effect over Taal Volcano. Thousands of families are evacuated who live within the 14 kilometer radius danger zone such as Agoncillo, Balete, Laurel, Lemery, Mataas na Kahoy Talisay, and Tanauan. I'm lucky enough that I had some photos taken at Taal volcano alongside with Binintiang Malaki last December 2014 during our stopover at Tagaytay-Calamba road.

Taal volcano alongside of Binintiang Malaki (which most of us mistakenly as Taal volcano itself). I took this picture during our stopover along the Tagaytay-Calamba road on December 2014.

A Blessed and Prosperous New Year - 2020

I'm ready to face this New Year's challenges. I wish everyone a blessed and prosperous New Year 2020!

Ti Plant (Cordyline Fruticosa)

I just bought a new plant to add to my ever growing mini garden at home. The latest one is called Ti plant or  scientifically named as Cordyline Fruticosa. It is identified by common names as cabbage palm, palm lily, and good luck plant. Ti plant is an evergreen flowering plant but some of its variety have red or yellow color leaves. According to Wikipedia, Ti is a palm-like plant growing up to 9.8 to 13 feet tall with an attractive fan-like and spirally arranged cluster of broadly elongated leaves at the tip of the slender trunk (Source - Wikipedia).

Team Bev Christmas Party

We spent lots of fun during our Christmas party last December 12. We enjoyed the games, exchanged gifts, the raffle prizes we had won, and most especially the food that we ate during the party. This is our simple way of celebrating the Christmas season. Below are some photos of the team.  

Christmas at SM City Molino

Experience the early Christmas spirit at SM City Molino, Bacoor, Cavite. Visit SM malls and enjoy your Yuletide shopping spree at SM malls.

Christmas Is In the Air

Christmas starts as early as September in the Philippines. The first thing you will notice is Christmas songs are played in every popular radio station in Manila. Then, shopping malls are decorated with lavish and beautiful decors especially Christmas trees with sparkling lights. One good example is this beautiful Christmas tree at SMDC Light Mall.
