.:Thurs Sept28th:.
After the typhoon…
this isn’t our tree, it’s our neighbor’s, 3 houses from us
Hadn’t we trimmed our tree a few weeks before, this would have happened to us as well. But our wifi antenna didn’t make it. The pole went down our roof. Fortunately, J was able to bring it up again.
Since there was no electricity, we decided to go to Jollibee for meryenda.
estong all geared up
But we were not able to get out of the subdivision as the main streets were flooded, but not with rain water as the rain has stopped already. The water was muddy and was flowing really hard, parang waves sa Splash Island. We’re not sure if it came from a broken dam in Cavite or from subdivisions in higher areas. It didn’t really bother me though since the water just passed by our street.
may picture pa talaga, first flood ni estong
The day after, that’s when we saw the damage done by the flood on the houses in the main roads. Flood water went inside their homes, and now their matresses were lined outside, as well as their appliances, sofas, clothes. And it was so difficult to clean up as there was no water supply as well. We’re just thankful that we weren’t affected by the flood.
.:Fri Sept29th:.
Went to Glorietta. Yay!, no toll fee (free way daw) salamat naman kaya nag-skyway pa kami. Had lunch at Oliver’s. Went home in the afternoon, still no water and electricity, so we decided to spend the night in Marikina (free toll na naman!)
.:Sat Sept30th:.
Estong’s bath time sa batya in Marikina.
Returned to Laguna in the afternoon, no water and electricity still. Went to Festival Mall and had dinner at Kenny Rogers.
Tried to buy mineral water from the grocery, but ubos na lahat, so decided to get the small bottles to use for the night. Spent the night fanning Estong to sleep, actually J did more of the paypay.
.:Sun Oct1st:.
Despite the typhoon, may plants were still blooming.
And off to the mall again. Went to Southmall, but it was so hot, so decided to transfer to Festival Mall. Estong slept in the car with J. Ang sarap ng tulog. Namiss yata ang aircon. I went to the grocery to buy water. Salamat may wilkins na.
Had meryenda/dinner in Lasa.
Then kiddie rides again for Estong. His daddy always makes him ride the cars whenever we are at the mall.
Paypayan na naman sa gabi.
.:Mon Oct2nd:.
Our helper left. And since there was still no water and electricity and no helper, J took a leave from work and we went again to Marikina to spend the night. Got a text from our neighbor that night, may kuryente na, but we didn’t go home since it’s already late.
.:Tues Oct3rd:.
After J’s work, we are back to home base!
