To anyone who was wondering: me and my family's doing fine. Just got back electricity today. Although cell signal's still a bit hazy, so in case you guys texted me and I wasn't able to reply I wasn't able to receive the messages :<
Electricity got cut off saturday afternoon, and even just hearing the news on the radio was depressing. All my years living in this area, this was the first time I heard people stranded on their roofs for two days without saving any of their belongings. The worst I remember was when I was a toddler, and the water was flowing down our garage and my brother played his RC boat on it. Yeah, we were kids then. This was much worse and depressing.
We didn't exactly get flooded, but our garage had the evidence that the river water reached us. I thought it wasn't a big deal, until my mom told me that both ends of our streets the water was up to chest-level. Night came, and we could hear people screaming in Tumana to the Army people "Kailangan namin ng pagkain!" (We need food!) Tumana would be about 5 minutes away from us. Marikina river would be about 15-20. So I'm really thankful and blessed that we didn't lose anything, most especially loved ones. My brother actually stayed at his GF's house saturday night, and he was asking us to evacuate in case the floods would get worse. That was really a rare thing for him to do.
I was also somehow hopeful of the idea that so many people are reaching out to help the victims. My mom told me she saw in this fancy grocery store the Bread section was EMPTY. It couldn't have been because people we're hoarding or panic-buying, cause she also saw big cars being filled with plastics full of basic needs. So today I went to my college and helped out with the donations too. If any of you guys want to donate stuff you can drop them off at the FA and find the UP IRIS members :)
I'm glad you guys who're able to update here are safe and okay too! Being at home with no connection to other people made me worry that you guys got caught in the flood D: Hopefully I'll see you guys next week! | |

Hai Gaiz, do you remember borrowing the following belts?   Sad to say I really really forgot to whom I lent it to or where I put. But I fixed my stuff last night and I couldn't find both. Strange since I don't wear them often and keep them in one place. Although the second belt I knew was missing a couple of months ago. Orz, if any of you realized you borrowed just let me know. Haha, this is so stupid of me to just remember when I really really needed them x_____X. Thanks guys o/ | |
