Stranded and state of Calamity

Posted on by
The state of affairs yesterday just outside my front door.

Power was going off and on yesterday so I had to turn on my pc several times. Work got disrupted. Today is much worse as the NDRRMC issued a red alert for Metro Manila and CaLaBarZon area. Some friends on social media had been posting that flood waters have entered their homes, the first time in years. Reminiscent of “Ondoy” in 2009—the time we had to evacuate Pasig-Cainta and camp out in my sister’s condo in Mandaluyong.

All my interview requests have not come back to me yet. Why do they even bother sending me press releases if they don’t want to have more in-depth coverage?!

The wind has picked up and it’s scary.

For the nth time, I’m so thankful that I’m no longer in Metro Manila.

This is just in Quezon City. 😳
This is right across Robinsons near our former apartment. 😳

Yes, this is like Ondoy that engulfed Metro Manila in 2009.
