Last Saturday, the Philippines probably experience a once is a lifetime nightmare. This is so rare but fatal experience to say the least. I never thought in my life that I would see so much flood like that.

I woke up that time at 6AM in my morning to do my thing. The rain isn't so much hard that time, so it didn't crossed my mind that they will cancel the review. Anywayz... to make things short. I arrived at the San Sebastian College Auditorium at 8:45AM. The whole session just stayed for an hour and a half because the flood already entered the school premises. That time I was thinking of the routine I need to take to avoid the flood. But that thought all drained off when I saw the ground floor! Damned it!! I can't even see a land area anywhere?! Everything is so full of water!!!

This is the first time I saw so much flood in my life. Although rains and a bit flood is part of Calamity in Legarda area. That flood my is really so much! Everything is a real disaster! The flood who is just below my knee is increasing as I get nearer in LRT station. I'm not even sure myself where am I standing at! XD

Anywayz... putting back on the line. I have no choice but to join in with the flood. When my feet touches the water it just mid-line below my knee. A bit high for a some rain if you asked me. It's a good thing my mom told me to wear short and slippers. It really took off my clothing issues at first. When I reached the gate of BASTE, Mendiola to Legarda area welcome me with much more flood. I can't believe even believe my eyes. The water is almost above my knee and it keeps on increasing as I walked near the LRT Legarda station. 

My friend escorted me as we walked near the station. He is going to take the LRT route in going home. In my case, I'm not sure how since the flood is already midline above my knee!! WAAAHHH!!! THE water is already dark! THe "canal" is fused with the water from the flood. I can almost imagine the multiple sickness I can get there. My mind is filled with "GO HOME- GO HOME- GO HOME". My friend waved goodbye to me before going to the station. The water is quite decreasing in market area. So I can walked freely there.

So much for a Jeepney! There's no transportation everywhere! Except for some TRI-BIKES who takes on high payment! Imagine he's asking for a 100 bucks just for a road to ARENAS STREET! My home in Arenas street is just 1 block away from the Market and he's asking for a HUNDRED bucks?! Like hell that was!! I told myself, since I'm already wet! Then might as well take on the walking road together with the flood.

The time is 10:30AM and the flood on our street is just midline below my knee. My father is waiting in the gate so he helped me on my things. Of course I lied to him when I said that I take on the TRI-BIKE for 50 BUCKS. He'll get angry for sure. I'm just happy that I was able to go home safe and sound.

GEEZ! That was a bit of a experience! The typhoon is already out of the Philippines area but the effects is indeed fatal. I'm still thankful enough that the flood never got in our house. I guess we're pretty lucky?! Compared to some Filipino people in Marikina and Pasig area. I pray for them to be safe soon.

The Priest said in the Homily, "God never wanted pain nor sufferings to happen. It's the effect of what we did to ourselves. There's no one to blame on other than WE".
