For a while now, I have been constantly waiting for news on my hometown 
Sto. Domingo, Albay . A bit worried about the nearby Mayon Volcano eruption . Family and friends that lives there with  Bus trips and flights cancelled. Still at alert level 4, people have been evacuated to shelters praying to be safe ... the Mayon beautiful in it's serenity is now Beautiful yet frightening .
