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

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.

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.

Both our houses in San Pedro Laguna and Mandaluyong got a bit of damage. The Laguna one was struck by a falling mango tree. The mandaluyong got a GI roof blown off. Our families said that the storm is really strong.

After vainly trying to reach my family tonight through several landline & cellphone numbers, I was finally able to get through to my older sister’s cellphone. My mom said it is brownout all over Luzon? Last night when we were talking via Skype, they could barely hear me because the wind or rain was so strong. My mom said the roof was kumakalampag.
