But we just realized that our junior set is lost. Stolen, maybe. Now I wonder what other stuff are missing in my house. I wanted to play Pictionary with my kids.

I feel so stupid for going to the gym that morning in Fort Bonifacio then stopping at Market Market to buy snacks and braving the storm to go to my office. I shouldn't be accessing this blog here in the office, but I can't access my internet at home. Glad to hear that you’re doing fine!

Chris, I passed the Fort by around 4 that afternoon; it was so sad to see all the old trees uprooted all over Taguig and Makati! Centuries of growth wiped out in just three hours. Yikes, I can believe what I am reading on the internet that power will be fully restored by tonight...impossible in our village I think that has multiple cement poles down and kilometers of wires on the road...

Despite living in Northern Luzon for 12 years (1st 12 years of my life, actually), I've never experienced a typhoon like this. Three hours. That's all it took. I was trapped at the fort. Saw GI sheets picked up by the wind from a nearby construction site and tossed high up in the air one after the other like playing cards, landing in the parking lot in front of where I was! Saw the Fort's parking booth blown away from its foundation! And lots of trees uprooted. Yikes! By 3 pm it was all over. Just crossed the devastated parking lot, hailed a taxi and went home. Boy!
