So... Asides from being part of the 65% not so lucky residents of Ayala Alabang Village that doesn't have electricity yet (hopefully by tomorrow there will be), I am also, at this moment, very annoyed and bored, and a bit o.c. Everytime I see the fallen trees I just feel like cleaning it up myself, if only I had the enregy and resources to do so...
So this is what happened to me since last Thursday when the remarkably named tropical storm, Milenyo passed directly over Metro Manila... So the Thursday began like any other day, we already knew there was no school, and I took the liberty that morning to type and do other stuff. So there I was, typing my Canto... when suddenly I hear what seems to be lightning that happened to be very close (hence, it was very loud), then suddenly I see from out my window two flashes, and the scary electrical sound of ZZT ZZt... I freaked out, and suddenly my box thingy attached to my computer that enables me to have electricity in the computer for 5 mins (to save files, etc.), started beeping... meaning, there was no longer any electricity. Suddenly my sister and brother come to me and start shouting "CARLA TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!!! WE MIGHT DIEEEEE!"... In the state of panic, I did so... The last I saw of electricity in my house until God knows when...
After that... The rain howled out side and I was trapped in my house, so since I had no computer to type my canto on... I wrote it (wow... what else?). So I was lying down in my bedroom floor condemning Hitler, Pol Pot and Mehmed, when suddenly it got really bright (as in wow! LIWANAG!), I looked out the window to find that three of my neighbors (Sophie, dont worry, they propped back that mango tree) massive trees had fallen... So as I was contenting myself with putting those genociders in hell, and drawing their punishments (actually very sadistic), my siblings and found that we were in the eye of the storm... They wanted to go out, but my mother was steadfast on what she said, and we couldnt do anything about it. Suddenly hell came out of the Inferno and began to wreak havoc and discord to the trees...
Then after that was all over, my cousin and her mom came over our house... And my mom decided to drive around the village to see what happened. So were driving around when suddenly we realize, that out of the eight ways to get to my house only 2 were available (and these were the really weird ones that take you all over the place). In Dama De Noche a cement electrical post fell, along with several other trees. In my beautiful street of Tanauan, several trees fell making it almost in accesible at first (but later on was fixed), in Talisay, a big wire thingy came of the posts and was dangling in front of houses, in Country Club Drive, a car got smushed by a tree, and several trees also fell in that area. Then in Madrigal, There was actually a house that lost part of its roof, and several trees also fell. So after this excursion, we went over to my aunts house and we walked around the area... So many trees were uprooted that I felt so sad. Well... later in the evening my dad took us all for a drive, and we tried to get to WR, and we were on Champaca expecting to see the school anytime soon and suddenly we were like :" Woodrose got replaced by a tree!!"... Then we had to turn around and went immediatly to Narra st. to check out what was happening, and we were told that they wouldnt fix our place yet coz it wasnt priority, and when I told that to my mom later on, she was like : " WE SHOULD BE PAYING LESS ASSOCIATION DUES!!!"... well that was day one spent in darkness...
Day two was somewhat similar, going around the village, exploring, etc, but then we went to ACC, to charge our phones, lamps, etc...
So we enter the womens locker room, and it is FILLED with people... linning up, getting numbers, just to take a bath... Lucky for my family, we had water, although it was frigid ( I REALLY MISS HOT WATER!!)... then after that, we went to the veranda to use our laptops, since there is wifi there, I could survive and do my canto... the day was like that...
Saturday, I went out with my friends... to the mall, it was soooo hot... and the electricity kept going on and off... I got 1 million UTILS from the ice cream... same thing... went to country club again...
SUNDAY!!! Mass at eight (AIRCON!!) Country club in the rest of the morning, lunch in festi, back to the house, back to country club after, and voala!! I here I am typing... FINALLY DONE WITH MY CANTO... still no electricity, although there is no school tomorrow... I wish the electricity would come pretty soon... as it already did for 40% of those in AAV... and that's my 5 (minus 1) break from stuff... wrong timing though... Happy B-day Mon!!
