2. Prepare yourself a stock of water. This is one of the most important thing that we should have so that we can rehydrate ourself during typhoon.

5. Battery operated radio and extra batteries. We need to monitor the movement of the typhoon and the only way to monitor it is to listen to news.

Alertness and Preparedness
In our world right now, there are many human but not so good elements that is going around our society. Such persons are hold-upper, snatcher and other crime doers. The big question is, what do we do about them? Yes, definitely what do we do when we will be hit by those such persons, especially when the authorities are not around.
Alertness and Preparedness for me are the two words and needs to have by people right now.
Alertness according to wikipedia is the state of paying close and continuous attention, being watchful and prompt to meet danger or emergency, or being quick to perceive and act. It is related to psychology as well as to physiology. From the word and meaning itself, we should not loose our focus everytime we are walking outside. We need to pay attention on our environment especially at night where those bad elements are roaming around. We should be constructive on our movement, look at your left and right, front and back and notice every details, big or small, on the people that you're walking with. If we stay alert, we can stay focus and not to be frighten on the surprise that will happen.
After being alert, we should be prepared. Even if we stay focus and alert, we cannot refuse those bad elements to do what they will do to us. Being alert is always preparing yourself on what will happen. We should keep our eyes open, recognized the details of every person and bring what could save you from them. Those things are pepper spray, small knife or whatever you think will help you to escape or to fight from them. We should be prepared on the our everyday life because there is no retake when such situations arises.
We should practice this and do it now especially Christmas is coming. Crimes will fast arise because of the need of money so we should stay alert and prepared.
And oh, we can also use that when calamity hits us like storms, earthquake, etc.
So stay alert and prepared, those things will help us big.

DETERMINATION
I read that word two days ago and it keeps ringing inside my head. Whoa! First, what is the definition of determination??
According to Free Dictionary, Determination is the Firmness of purpose; resolve, meaning approaching a task with determination and energy. From the word itself, determination, people do know the simple meaning and they will interact to it.
There are many ways where we can use our determination. We can apply it on our everyday life, on the things that we are doing, things that we want to achieve, goals that we want to attain and dreams that we want to fulfill.
To simplify it, if we have something such as goals or things to do that we want to achieve or to fulfill, we should be determined and focus on those goals, because our determination will be our key in achieving those goals

Having a short time friend while shopping
Last Friday as, I was about to buy my new wallet. At the store of girbaud while I'm looking for a wallet that suits me, there was this lady who will also buy a wallet for his boyfriend. Out of nowhere, she asked me what wallet would I buy. She grabbed two designs of it and asked me what will be the best one for me. I told her that those wallets were both in good quality but I'd rather chose the wallet that fits my needs. While deliberating on what she should buy, we asked the salesman what is the difference of those two. We kept on talking on those design and the salesman told us that if we will get those wallet with the same price, we will be having a discount of about 20%. We look at each other and she said, "go kuya, pili kunin mo yan kukunin ko to" (go brother, get that one and i will get this one). We both agree to it and bought those wallet. The good thing about that is, we have both given a discount and paid less amount than the original price. So if you are going to buy, try to make friends with others and maybe, if that stores offers a discount for buy on get one, you can have that item less than the original amount and also have a new friend.
