Typhoon Frank – Lost everything

There has been no update on this blog for the past two weeks. I would like to apologize to everyone about the same. The reason ?

Well there was a flood here in Iloilo City and my room was completely under water. Woke up to a beautiful day and sunny day, went for a smoke outside. Suddenly there was water outside the building. Ran inside the room so that I could move my things on top of my bed so that nothing would get wet. Kept moving things for about 2 minutes and saw that there was water about 2 feet outside the door. The water has gushing in through the gap in the door. Opened the door to see that the sofa, tables and chairs outside were floating around. I took my laptop and went to the second floor. By this time the water was up to my neck. Tried to save some things of my neighbor but lost all my things in the process.

The water rose to more than a floor high and there was all kinds of things floating around. Managed to pull in a big bottle of mineral water which helped us survive till the water went down the following day.

The room and everything in it was covered in about 3 feet of mud. Lost most of my belongings. There was no electricity for almost 2 weeks. Finally after a week of cleaning was able to move back into my room. The laptop and internet is working from today. Hope to start blogging again in a day or two.

Please stay with me through this unfortunate incident.
