ondoy day 2

we all thougth that the flood will subside the next day. i was still hoping that we would be able to make it to our flight to bohol. huh! talk about wishful thinking..

woke up still flooded, same level, same current.

one thing that bothered me most when we lost power was soon we will be going to have water shortage. we lost power on day 1, early in the afternoon. after that, we had unstable cellphone signal. grabe, we really felt deserted and totally disconnected. the apartment depends on the water pump for water, since there was no power, and a lot of people on the building using the water, gosh... we'll all soon stink.

and we also have no more potable water to drink. the water delivery failed to make it to our house yesterday. for our evacuees (and for me and daddy), we boiled the tap water and have it as our drinking water. aquim still have 3 gallons of distilled water. but his formula is now down to 3 preparations already.

here are some of the evacuees.

and some more... (that's my tatay! heee)

3 of our family members were not able to come home yesterday. one of my cousins, together with his classmates checked in to a hotel/motel. chipped in to be able to pay the motel, they didnt had dinner. one went with her officemates. the other one was stuck in robinsons galleria. they were able to come home safe sunday afternoon, after the flood has subsided.

parent's house's compound.

everything is either floating or under the water.

we and our evacuees had noodles, some bread, coffee for breakfast. for lunch, i think it was corned beef again.


this is a mini subdivision inside our subdivision. they were safe from flood!!! the rest of the subdivision was flooded and covered with mud, while inside this village. it was still all green. makabili nga dito ng lote heee this is where we parked our cars. actually, it was also flooded here, about kneedeep when the flood was neck deep on the road.

after lunch, jason decided to brave the flood to buy aquim's milk. here he is on a big basin, 20 pesos fare.

later that day, the water eventually subsided and our evacuees went off one by one to clean up their own houses. however, they still left most of their belongings to our house.

even my parents started to clean up their house. still no power, no cellphone signal.
