My fiancee would serenade me with love songs and encourage me to join her. I always say, "No thanks, Baby. I'll just sit here and watch how beautiful you sing!" She doesn't believe me!

• December 30, 2009, Tom writes: If that thing really blows it's top 8km is a way too small evacuation area. Fortunately Mayon usually just flows or erupts in a more limited area. Hope your family is in a safe area.
• December 30, 2009, Jan writes: Mayon is known for long lasting eruptions. Only rare that there is a 'big bang'. The most dangerous in volcanic eruptions are the gasses coming out. Those are highly toxic and hot. They can burn a whole area and destroy everything. Mayon has several lahar flowing areas. A kind of canals where the lava flows, more or less regulated. When you go there you can see them clearly along the high way between Legazpi and Tabaco. They are colored dark grey to black, with large rocks coming from the volcano. I will try to shoot some pictures when I will be there. My wifes family lives at a safe distance of around 40 km from the volcano. Just some ashes have been falling there.
