Everyone has a flood horror story to tell.

Typhoon Ondoy! Everyone has a flood horror story to tell.

What started as a lazy working day for me turned as one of the most unforgettable. As I remember talking over the phone(around 9am) about one of our costumer requesting to send his order thru a Bus co. which I said jokingly "I need to ask my messenger to swim to the bus station to send your order."
Anyway I wasn't expecting our secretary to come to work due to the weather condition & rising flood water. She came with her daughter & was telling the waist deep flood they waded just to get our office.

Well I thought this would be another boring stormy work day, but I was wrong. At around 11 am, our secretary was shouting that flood waters was coming in from the garage to the office.

All hands on deck, everyone present was rushing to bring all the stocks & other electrical appliances to the 2nd floor, but some where to heavy to move live the water check valves & elbows & other plumbing fixtures.

To be continued have to tuck in my kids, its past their bed time.

No blog for at least 2 months.

Its almost 2 months since I last wrote a blog, well it was roller coaster ride for me due to the weather (Typhoon season), been quite busy at work & at home (need to fix the roof).

I should be writing more about the floods here in & around the Metro but have to keep mum about the whole thing since the rest of the country are much worse condition than I am, wherein flood water stays for days, houses being submerged with mud & water, damaging properties, killing livestocks & causing deaths to people due to drowning (3 kids being swept away in Cavite a few days ago while playing near the river), landslides, tidal waves.

I remember as a kid during summer vacation in Magdalena,Laguna, my Lola (RIP) used to tell me about folks climbing to coconut trees in the hinterlands during Typhoon because the flood waters have risen so quickly & roofs being blown off the houses. Can't imagine it back then but it still happening today just what happened in Botolan, Zambales a few weeks back.

Sorry for sounding so gloomy.
