(I'm just gonna name 6 songs on my Retirement Party playlist because that's pretty much all I've been listening to this past week. And last time I did this it was pretty much entirely my HWTC playlist)

1. Keep You Safe - The Crane Wives

2. Masterpiece - Big Thief

3. Lemon - Local Natives ft Sharon Van Etten

4. My Silver Lining - First Aid Kit

5. Dancing in the Dark (Cover) - Lucy Dacus

6. Wildflower and Barley - Hozier and Allison Russell

Bonus Tracks (Not on this playlist): Mother Nature by The Hu and The Wreck of the Athens Queen by Stan Rogers. One of my friends was talking about sea shanties the other day and I had to listen to Fogarty's Cove twice through.

Not gonna tag, but if you see this and want to share, please do! And feel free to say I tagged you because I love seeing what people are listening to. It's a good way to find new music.

finished higurashi when they cry chapter 1

my stance? it was people. I’m also very suspicious of the police guy whose name I can’t remember and don’t want to look up because of potential spoilers. it’s quite possible that he’s the person mentioned in the part of the note that was removed. (trying to be as vague as possible on spoilery things)

looking forward to playing more!

the writing of higurashi chapter 2 just continually mocking me for trying to piece together how this is even happening now after the events of the last chapter

Hungary, PH deploy mobile water treatment plant to Catanduanes

#PHnews: Hungary, PH deploy mobile water treatment plant to Catanduanes

MANILA – Hungary's donated mobile water treatment plant to the Philippine government has been deployed to Catanduanes, one of the hardest-hit areas when Typhoon Rolly made landfall in the country last month.

"In the aftermath of Super Typhoon Rolly (Goni), this unit has now been successfully deployed in Catanduanes, the area hardest hit by the calamity, to alleviate the shortage of drinking water there," the Hungarian Embassy in Manila said Wednesday.

On top of this, it announced some USD25,000 (approximately PHP1.2 million) in humanitarian assistance to help other families affected by the devastating typhoon.

Hungary, through its aid agency the "Hungary Helps", will partner with Caritas Manila to deliver the relief at the earliest to the victims of "Rolly".

The Embassy said the financial support "will contribute to the relief of the victims and will help to assist the long term mitigation of disasters in the affected region".

Hungary's portable water treatment plant, meanwhile, will be operated by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).

The unit, manufactured by the Hungarian Water Technology Corporation (HWTC) is specifically designed to be "highly efficient and deployable" at a moment’s notice wherever clean drinking water is needed.

"Water management is a field where Hungary has ample experience, cutting edge technology and know-how to deliver assistance to its partners. The country is proud to be able to assist the Philippines as a friend in times of need and to be able to contribute with its knowledge and technology to the betterment of the infrastructure and livelihoods here," the Embassy said.

Previously, Hungary installed a water treatment plant in Eastern Samar in the aftermath of the devastation caused by Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. (PNA)

NDRRMC, Hungarian firm ink deal on safe water for disaster areas

#PHnews: NDRRMC, Hungarian firm ink deal on safe water for disaster areas

MANILA -- The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) and Hungarian Watertechnology Corporation (HWTC) on Wednesday signed a strategic cooperation agreement in a bid to beef up provision of safe and clean water in calamity-hit areas.

NDRRMC executive director Ricardo Jalad, HWTC chief executive office Adrian Kiss and Hungarian Ambassador to the Philippines Dr. Jozcef Bencze signed the agreement.

This formally forged the partnership of two entities in implementing the project titled "Delivery of a mobile water treatment compact unit to supply drinking water to the population during emergency situations and natural disasters in the Philippines."

The equipment will be shipped in February 2020 and is expected to be commissioned by April.

Jalad, in an interview with reporters, said acquisition of the mobile water treatment compact unit will help address water supply concerns during times of calamities or disasters in the Philippines.

"We see that we need more of this kind of equipment that HWTC can provide for us. Especially the kind of equipment that can even process seawater. This is a need that HWTC can provide in addressing the gaps whenever disaster happens," the NDRRMC chief said.

NDRRMC spokesperson Mark Cashean Timbal also said the agency welcomes the generosity of the HWTC and Hungary for the partnership and the water treatment technology being shared with the Philippines.

"This will boost our ability to respond to the needs of calamity-affected communities in terms of the provision of potable water," he added. (PNA)
