it all started when we asked for jollibee delivery that we waited for 3 hours due to traffic; until then we decided to get out of the place and look for something for our breakfast-turned-lunch. outside the gate we saw water at a height of around half of a foot, continued driving until we saw security officers talking to passing vehicles - impossible to go out of the area now. we went to another condominium and begged to be admitted just to buy something to eat. we went back to the our place, ate and waited for hours for flood to go away; yet, rain is still pouring. we knew we would stay there for another night with no food and battery-drained phones. we ranted, we whined and we cursed; because that time we have never knew the situation outside would be like this:

when power was restored at 4 pm today, only then i realized how typhoon ondoy impacted our country. i am still shocked, and thankful that getting stranded for 2 days is the worst that happened to me and my friends.
i am calling for everyone to help those who are still stuck on their roof, to give what we can do to those who need relief and to pray for the safety of those who have been affected by the calamity. let us all be one in helping each other in lifting ourselves from this calamity.
