Typhoons

I SURVIVED!

I was gone for almost two days, it was because I was trapped in the heavy flood that swallowed the whole Metro Manila on Saturday. This was my situation last night as I headed over to my Aunt’s place for shelter coz the bridge on the way home was not passable by human, not even by ten-wheeler trucks. I walked almost two kilometers in flood last night and as I go nearer and nearer my relatives’ place, water goes deeper and deeper up to my chest. I was horrified and thought I was going to drown. My legs won’t move anymore; my throat was dry and stomach was grumbling in hunger, and I was trembling in cold. It was dark; black out all over the metro. I couldn’t continue so when I saw a house lit with one small candle with a couple watching the water level going up, I asked if I could stop-over and rest there for a while. They helped me get up and soon as I reached out their hands, I started crying. But I was soaked wet that they didn’t notice it. They gave me water and food. My parents were really worried; they kept calling me so I asked them to tell my Aunt to fetch me where I was. Minutes later, my guy-cousin came to take me.

I spent the whole night there but we stayed up coz the water was still rising. But in the morning water got a bit lower but not totally gone. And I want to go home, so cousin got me a pedicab(without a roof) to take me to the bus stop. (I was standing while the cab driver was just pushing the bike for about one and a half kilometer. I paid him double for that.) I later learned my parents were waiting there so they took me home. My father’s last message was funny though: “Kunin kita; alam ko’ng miss mo na si Gackt” (I will get you; I know you miss Gackt now.) HAHAHA

Right now, I feel beaten up by ten men; my whole body is aching. I also treated my feet coz they developed sores from too much walking and staying in the dirty flood for too long. Took antibiotics, pain relievers, etc. But I can’t get rested yet after hearing that my other relatives have lost their homes and things and stayed on their houses’ roofs since Saturday night till Sunday morning. We’re worried about them but it’s still raining so we cannot do anything to help them. My father will go out tomorrow to look for them. We heard they’re still alive and now in some evacuation centers.

*sigh* Life~~~ I’d say this is the worst typhoon I’ve ever encountered in my entire life. I’m still thankful I’m still alive.

ANXIOUS

Before we moved to the new apartment we are living right now, I got traumatized by the fire outbreaks that simultaneously occurred before.

Now, after the last typhoon and after what happened to Metro Manila and surrounding provinces, I think I developed another trauma.

And I can’t relax right now….

Just as karadin posted news that a strong typhoon is heading Japan, it's a worry.  Not because, GACKT is there but also there have been enough disasters around Asia these past weeks (Indonesia with earthquakes) and I don't want terrible things to happen to people again.

Hala... akala ko ganun talaga. Nagtataka rin kasi ako kung bakit hindi lumalabas sa f-list ko yung mga new posts mo. Bakit kaya ganun?

ewan ko ba. once kasi ginawa ko'ng private tong journal ko. tapos nagbago isip ko, ginawa ko ulit f-locked. tapos di na sya bumalik sa dati, so para sa f-list ko, parang nakaprivate parin kaya di lumalabas sa friends' pages nyo ung entries ko. muret no? di pa ko nagrereklamo sa lj, wala pa kong time. lol.

musta? nakauwi ka na ba sa bahay nyo?
