Disaster Preparedness Seminar organised by the Filipino Chaplaincy

The Filipino Chaplaincy has invited the Wellington Emergency Preparedness Office (WEMO) to conduct a Disaster Preparedness Seminar especially for Filipinos. It will be held on the 2nd of December, 5:30-7:00pm at Pearce Room, St. Joseph Catholic Church, Mt.Victoria (Fr. Ambet's parish).

We never know when disaster will hit us, so it's best that we are prepared. This seminar will provide us with information and useful tips about what we need to do and what to prepare when disaster and calamities strike.

So do attend this FREE Seminar. Encourage other friends to attend too, so please pass this information on to your networks.

The great outdoors?

One thing I sorely miss is "roughing it out" in the great outdoors and sleeping in a tent.  I browse through my past trekking and camping adventures in my blog and loved each and every one of my trips.  What's not to like about sleeping under the stars, cooking food out in the open, spending the day with friends, chillaxing throughout the day?  It was good exercise, and it gave me a better appreciation of the natural treasures our country is blessed with.

In the meantime, my great outdoors is the lawn... awaiting the time when I can build a tent atop a mountain once again.
