Milenio

Last Saturday afternoon, Sept. 30 we headed to “muddy” SM Sta Rosa for our grocery. We’re always buying consumer goods in SM supermarket, coz I’m considering the bonus points I will earn every time I use my advantage card, I’m mababaw, who cares?? just find it advantageous as the card title clearly says.. Anyways, yun nga, we went there primarily to buy meat coz we ran out of food, why?? we forced to cook all the meat we got in the freezer to prevent from spoiling (we cooked it lahat abodo…chicken, liver and gizzard adobo and pork abodong tuyo), apparently, our ref gone absolutely empty!... You guessed it right…the culprit is MILENIO, the blustery gusty typhoon who whacked down the sturdy huge trees (the acacia tree at the back of our house almost hit me when it fell down, thank God that our fence hindered it from dropping it on me.), crashed the heavy billboards on the road, blew the roof and turned the land into a river. Furthermore, the equally important transmission and facilities such as water supply, electricity , internet and communication were disturbed. Milenio hit manila, calabarzon and nearby regions in the daytime of September 28. Lots of residences, industries, farms and establishments were devastated…and worse, lives were taken…
….. Back to muddy SM Sta Rosa… the whole parking area was covered with mud of about a thickness of 2” when we went there 2 days after the typhoon. ‘Py’ told me that it was not just the parking area that was flooded as we first thought but the mall itself. His officemate who happened to be there at the height of the typhoon had experienced how the water rushed into the mall and rose up to his chest level. All the people there grasped each other's arms so as not to get lost. It’s hard to imagine how it will be like if you’re there with the kids around!.... It will be better if you leave the mall if similar incident happens…than be caught by the terrible flood.

Addendum…as of this writing,,nakadown pa rin broadband connection namin. I’m currently using the limited internet access via cellphone to post this message… grabe ang connection super slow mamumuti mata mo …haaay life…
