Bagsik ni Typhoon Ondoy

Tried our luck to go to alabang today via carmona, but SLEX at southwoods was flooded up to the waist. Glad we had a u turn slot and re-routed to tagaytay then via amadeo. I knew there's a storm coming pero sumuong pa rin kame sa baha. That's what you get for not watching tv or even listening to the radio or just plain being pasaway. Today was a little bit tiring. All the rain and all the videos i watched on tv are about the sad scenarios due to typhoon ondong.

a common site here at manila area - baha all over the city!

More sad news is that my sister's flight to boracay is rescheduled due to bad weather, a friend is stuck in his car for 12 hrs and will be sleeping in gasoline station tonight, tomorrow's run was also cancelled. More importantly though is many of my kababayans might not have a warm bed to sleep in tonight. More worst is that homes are destroyed, people died. i do hope things will get better soon!
