Gone In Minutes
September 25, 2009, friday. Me and my classmates had a drinking session at a friend's house. I got drunk, of course, which is why I wasn't able to notice that it was already raining. Luckily, I went home safely. September 26, 2009, saturday, 7:00am. I was on my way to school but the streets of our village was no longer passable due to flood. I wasn't able to go so I went back home and slept. I woke up around 11:30 pm and the water was rising in our street. All of us weren't expecting the flood but unfortunately, 15minutes later, it entered our house. I was texting my boyfriend that time but our conversation was cut short because the reception disappeared. We started lifting our things that might get wet but the water was still rising. The water reached upto my waist inside the rooms. We no longer have a choice but to vacate our home. We locked every door and got a few clothes to spare. We also got some expensive gadgets we were afraid to lose. We stayed at a neighbor's house for the night while the water submerged. Lights were out, of course. There was no electricity and communication. We didn't know what was out there. We were complete castaways. The next day, we had to clean every inch of visible mud in the house. For about two weeks, this was all we did. Two of our cars were destroyed, two computers, every wood in the house, and our year-old tiles. We also literally had nothing to eat. Well, that's my typhoon story. BTW, its my first time to experience flood. I never thought it was this hard. Life has taught me a lesson. Its to value everything I have, no matter how useless this thing is. I learned it the hard way. :D--: leave a comment |
