Santi hits Pagoyo
For most of us, Santi was just a storm that came and went. So it was a little windy and we had a little brownout. That’s it. Not much to it. But for the people of Pagoyo it was one of those … life changers. I’d assume losing your home is a life changer. Watch the video to find out how devastating it was.
In the article I wrote after Ondoy hit called “When Ondoy Gets Old” I said this:
The truth of the matter is this- 95% of the people whom we are helping now- they needed our help BEFORE the typhoon.
They were hit hardest because they’re the ones who live in shanties…
Any typhoon or calamity that hits them is a game changer. We can’t just be around for the big ones. The little ones are big to them.

Pissed off of very high prices on decent Power Tools? I used to be but I found a better way to buy tools I would like to pass on! If you’re a avid DIYer, you probably will know that owning the best tools for any jobs you do is so important, however finding out where to get the best deals is not always to easy. But, there is a solution to buy tools cheaply. Should you wish to get discounts, as much as 50% – 70% off standard prices, you need to check out this site named http://reconditioned-powertools.com. The prices for heavy duty tools such as Bosch, Porter-Cable, Festool, Milwaukee and others will justify buying lots of tools!
Oohh I forgot to add: If you want to drop things off on Thurs or Friday, email me!
