Super Typhoon Yolanda

11 / 10 / 13

Last Friday, November 8. My officemates and I were glued via the internet watching and reading the updates about the super typhoon Yolanda  with an international name of Haiyan creating havoc in the Visayas part of our country. It did made several landfalls in different areas and it was so scary to see the situation. The first thing I was able to see was the storm surge being covered by a news reporter (Atom Araullo), and it seems more like a Tsunami by the way things are going.

Classes were suspended in Metro Manila (It was Signal # 2), but there was no work suspension for us. So off I did report to work. There was only light to moderate rains in the Metro the whole afternoon, but it rained hard later in the evening and I was really glad that I was already home by then. The whistling of the wind was strong the entire night but there was only light rains.

There was still strong winds and gutsy rains this morning as I did the laundry and I had to rewash some of the clothes and bed sheets because it flew away from the clothesline.

I was able to see video footages via news later today and It was really heartbreaking to see victims of the typhoon Yolanda. The Tacloban City was severely damaged. Ormoc, Leyte, Cebu and some other parts of the Visayas were not spared.

I just couldn’t imagine our situation had the Typhoon pass by the Metro Manila, thank goodness we were spared. Here’s hoping and praying for those victims and affected by Yolanda, may they be able to rise above from this tragedy.

August 19: Classes Suspended In All levels in Metro Manila

8 / 19 / 13

It was a rainy weekend and yesterday afternoon, August 18 around 4 p.m it was already raining hard. Metro Manila mayors started to suspend classes early last night.  As of this moment, the office of the President have issued work suspension in government offices.

I did sent the boss an early text message of my leave of absence of work for today. I opted to stay at home for safety and peace of mind for DH,  since most areas on my way to work is flooded and there are lots of road construction here in our place.  I learned my lesson the hard way last year when  I did brave the almost waist deep flood on my way to work only to get sick after.

For now, we’re closely monitoring the news and weather updates. DH woke every now and then last night due to non stop rain to check downstairs. The usual, we were flooded inside the house. :( 

I hope things gets better soon and since we’re stuck inside the house, kids were getting bored. Here’s what they did to keep themselves busy.

… and here’s what DH prepared for our breakfast! Mine’s one hotdog sandwich and a longsilog and black coffee! 🙂 P1140125

Still got a lot of cleaning up and ironing to do’s for today,  and an online task to finish this afternoon. Stay safe and dry everyone!

Typhoon Gener

7 / 31 / 12

Although there was no Typhoon signal in the metro,  classes were suspended from preschool to high school due to the inclement weather yesterday. I wasn’t able to sleep early the other night since I was glued on twitter for news and weather updates, the whirling of the winds and rain is really scary.

There was also announcement of suspension of classes in college and work for those in  the government around 2:00 pm. But none for those who are in the private sector like us.

I am praying for a good weather yesterday because I can no longer take a leave from work because I have many absences the past couple of weeks when DH got sick. Good thing that there was no traffic yesterday and I was able to experience a hassle-free travel back and forth 🙂

Hoping for a good weather for the rest of the week, I love the cool and chilly weather but no scary non stop rains and floods please!
