The entire city was flooded.
It was just like Waterworld without Kevin Costner’s terrible thespian skills.
Typhoon Ondoy sure knew how to party and decided to spread the love one weekend.
The bastard cut off power lines, flooded streets, invaded houses, contaminated water supply, severed phone connections, wrecked vehicles, took lives of innocent people, and never looked back.
Mali Bay was not spared.
It never floods in our area. But I guess I spoke too soon.
It was Raft3r’s own version of the hit reality show Survivor.
Isolated. Famished. Distraught. Stranded. Helpless.
But I never felt more ALIVE.
Post script: Not all of us have the time to volunteer nor the financial capability to donate, but all of us can PRAY. That is the best help we can provide to the victims.

lawstude, Medyo. Magastos mabaha, eh. Hehe
Hey there! Damn that Ondoy! Now we have to clean the house and get rid of the putik! Just have a look at my blog, it's also about shit we encountered too lol!
May problema rin kami sa budget, buti nalang we managed to squeeze in a box of noodles and sardines each! Now kami naman magugutom LOL.
Glad you're okay!
ang tindi nya noh?
ngayon naman, sa vietnam sya nananalasa.. hayst.
You're the only one I know who never felt more alive during the flood. That's a very positive way of looking at it. Now I sound like Oprah's Dr. Phil. Haha.
nalilito nako kung andito ka ba sa pinas o sa US...

gillboard, Maganda yan. May konting air of mystery. Kunwari. Nyahaha
Walang patawad ano. Ang daming naperwisyo! But I'm glad to hear you're ok, despite the gutom and baha.
Take care! May isa na namang parating na bagyo.
liz, This time I'm prepared. Hay.
Haha may ganun? Well I miss having to comment on a kababayan's page! :)
halfcrazy, May ganon talaga. Tagal mo nawala, eh. Hehe

kuya, i like the last thing you said.
jerick, Ano yon? Hehe
Tama, the best thing that we can do is pray.
wait, Ikaw nga ni MC Hammer: "We got to pray just to make it today!" Hehe
As a friend aptly puts it, we are shaken but definitely not broken.
I have always believed in Pinoys' resiliency. We'll be stronger than ever after this. :p
