Almost a month ago, our house in Cainta, Rizal started a renovation to fix a wall in the right side of our house. The owners of the lot beside us are pressuring us to fix it and said that building of the house will start by the end of the year. The reason is that the wall we built was overstepped few inches outside our lot.

September 25 (Friday)

The walls are down and the foundations to the new wall is almost finished. The work cut short since the rain poured. My dad and I were the only people in our house and later was joined by my sister since she came back from work.

September 26 (Saturday)

My Sister and I woke up around 9am. The rain still pouring outside and we were surprised that flood water started to enter our room. We somewhat panicked and started to move our belongings to a higher area. By the end of the day, the water has entered the whole house and now almost waist high deep.

September 27 (Sunday)

My Dad decided that my sister and I must leave the place and go to Sta. Cruz, Manila while he stays hoping that the water levels are going down. My sister and I packed some of our things and frozen foods that we need to bring. (I ended up bringing my backpack with 3 days worth of clothes and the laptop of my sister.) We left our place around past 9 AM. We reached One Mercedes Plaza (located at Mercedes Ave corner Market Ave in Pasig) around quarter to 12 NN on foot since the area is not passable by any vehicles.
We reached Sta. Cruz, Manila around 2PM.

Later (September 29), some of my mom's employees and I will return to Cainta to get some important things that are left. I will post another entry as soon as I return.
