What happened to October 2009?

Weather update: Reming is a wild one

Honestly I’ve never been as giddy about going to the beach as I have been about this weekend’s trip. I’ve been so excited that I’ve been partially packed for about two days now. I didn’t realize that I’ve missed the sun, the sand and the water so much.
Then this stupid typhoon comes, threatens Manila, turns [...]
