Unfortunately I don’t have a very interesting typhoon story to tell. My parents picked my sister and I up at the dorm at the ungodly hour of 8:30 because the typhoon was supposed to hit Metro Manila at noon and my mom didn’t want us stranded at the dorm with no food. The moment I got back to the house I went back to sleep, and woke up at noon to the sound of the wind screaming outside my bedroom window. A couple of minutes before I woke up, the huge tree branch (see the picture above) from the tree outside fell on our fence and gracefully decorated the lawn. I hate that I missed seeing that happen.

The ridiculous strength of the storm brought the whole Luzon back into the Dark Ages (aka there was no electricity anywhere; though I know some people may think that the Philippines doesn’t need a huge power outage to be in the Dark Ages, what with our being an uncivilized third world country and all). After a day, I gave up on making little candle wax statues so I ended up staying over a friend’s condo in Makati which had electricity, courtesy of the swanky building’s generator. Naturally I didn’t use the bright lights and the computer to do anything productive, and as a result I am cramming for a test tomorrow. XD

Sunday was spent resting and helping my parents get rid of the fallen tree branch on the lawn. It’s too bad my parents hired some random people to clear it out later that afternoon. There went my career as professional ax-woman. Of course, it didn’t help that the random people offered their services after they spent a few seconds watching me doing a rather awful job and hacking away at the wood.

The billboards have been cleared off the main roads and highways now (I think) and everything is back to normal. If it weren’t for all the uprooted trees and leaves all over school, you wouldn’t be able to tell that a storm just hit this crazy city last week. I hear another one might come in a few days, but I seriously hope it misses Metro Manila. I just want to get this stupid semester over with already.
