I opted not to go out last night with eD and the boys because I had work 5am this morning.
4:15 am - I woke up. It was drizzling, went to work and did the usuals.
9:00 am - I went on break. It looked like it was 6am outside. I was still hyped to see my bestfriend tonight, she's throwing a dinner party for her birthday.
10:00 am - My dad called telling me NOT to come home yet. Our street is flooded. I was dumbfounded. Never in my 26 years of living there had we had water in our street above our ankles.
11:00 am - They decided to let everyone at work go home. I woke eD up. I had nowhere to go. His island home is not passable at all. He can't get out, I can't go in:(
12:30 pm - We grabbed lunch at Mc in Glorietta. The walkway from G5 to Glorietta was flooded. The parking was starting to accumulate water too. When we reached inside Glorietta, it was flooded too. Yes, inside.
1:30pm - Rain hasn't stopped yet. Dad said I should get home. I sent a couple of emails from the office then drove home. I took the Ayala-Buendia-Reposo-Jupiter route instead of my usual Ayala-Makati Ave-Jupiter Route. I wanted to see how bad it was in Buendia, as what eD was saying. I didn't see a thing - just traffic along Buendia, Osmena Highway bound. Buendia to our house was a breeze.
2:30 pm - I got home - on my warm bed, watched the news while drinking warm Calamansi juice. My cough and colds are getting worse. I went on FB and saw videos and photos of the flood. I realized how grave the situation here in our country is. I started to pray for those who lost their homes, loved ones. Please God, stop the rain.
5:30 pm - I'm starting to get sad - missing eD. I want him beside me or wherever I can see him. I have no choice.. I'm hoping he can make it to our house tonight.
5:50 pm - Mom was panicking. News said the power will be out by 6pm. Why? I charged everything that needs to be charged. It's a little past 6pm. Power is still here. God is good. Please don't cut the power out.
God help us all here in the Philippines!
