This morning, I got a call from my mother, in Gubat:
"Did you see the news? Nag-erupt na ang Bulusan!"
"I'm doing the shopping, ma. Hasn't it been erupting for the past few months na?"
"Well, yes, but it BLEW UP!"
"WHAT?! Crap! Does this mean our flight this Wednesday's cancelled?"
"Don't worry, the wind's blowing the other way -- but WE CAN SEE THE MUSHROOM CLOUD FROM HERE!"
"WHAT?!"
"Ooooh! Tita Betsy took pictures!"
