I know, I am too late for this post, but I want to share what I've experience from that typhoon :/
Saturday morning 'twas a bit dark outside and didnt mind the rain. Coz I thought it was just a simple rain like the past few days. Then my mom told me, "Signal 1 ah. Suspended yung ibang may pasok na HS". Then I said, "Eh HS naman. Signal 2 nagsuspended ang college".
When Im on my way to school (and I am late na) I saw some of the roads were starting to get flood but still passable. 10:30 Im on a rush because I am too late for our 10am class. When I reached the 7th floor of our building my classmate said, "Bakit ka pa pumasok? Suspended na." (Why did you still go here? Classes are suspended) then I said, "Ha? Di nga? Totoo? :(" (Ohh? Really? As in for real?) then he just laugh. Then I received my old classmate text saying, "YES! SUSPENDED NA" and I was like ewan na sumigaw :-j My house is abit far from my school and I dont know how can I go back home that time.
Fast forward...
My classmate texted me, "Wag muna kayo bumaba ha. Ang taas ng baha dito"(Dont try to go down here. Flood is getting higher) So I shouted then told them whats happening on the groundfloor. I looked outside then I am soo really scared what I've saw because the sky is getting really dark and the heavy rain was not stoping.
12nn our prof told us to go down na because of classes were suspended na nga. So we dont have choice na. When we reached the groundfloor, I saw the flood outside and I am really really shocked because that was my first time to see that kind of flood. It wasnt high as the other floods in metro manila but I just cant believe that the flood reached my knee.
Fast forward...
12:30 we where on our hangout place and waiting for the rain to stop and the flood to go down.
2:30 were still stucked there and we're all hungry plus the flood is getting high in our place.
4:00 some of my friends tried to go home then after a 10mins, they went back to us and told us that theres no JEEP and there are alot of people waiting for the jeep.
5:00 some of my friends cant take the coldness and the heavy rain to they decide to go home. They will walk if there's still no jeep.
6:00 me and my friend, decided to go home because there's no rain anymore and the flood is not that high anymore. But we were unlucky because there's still no jeep and there are alot of people waiting for the jeep. So we went back to our hangout place. We were so wet. Because while we're on our way back, heavy rain starts to go down again. T_T
6:30 my friend (who lives just a few blocks away in our school) offered us to stay in their home for a while because of our situation.
6:45pm We're in their house and we changed clothes because we'll get sick if we didnt change it.
7:00 I called my mom to inform her that Im already safe because there's no flood there.
7:25 my mom texted me saying, "Dyan ka muna matulog." Of course I dont have a choice so me and my 2 friends slept there.
When we've watched the news, I cant believe that the "ondoy" typhoon caused soo much flood all over metro manila.
7am My dad fetch me in my school.
Im'a update later.
