CRAP
Last Saturday, 26th of September, the Philippines experience one of the WORST typhoons to ever hit it, Typhoon Ondoy. There was non-stop rain for roughly 24 hours. The winds were not strong, thankfully.
During that day, I went to Ateneo because of a microbio project and because I had to teach little boys in the chess clinic, a fundraiser of the chess team. My mum brought me there. I arrived at 8:30 in the morning. At 9 AM, I walked/ran to the chess room knowing I was going to be late. I was drenched and my shoes and socks were soaked (IT WAS NOT A NICE FEELING @__@).
By around 11:30, Coach Idel already suspended training due to the rain and the news reports that some areas were starting to become flooded. I couldn't leave because my parents and Mang Ompong were stuck in traffic. Some of my teammates and I stayed in the chess room because we couldn't be fetched and we were advised to stay there. We were lucky because a hotdog stand was in the Blue Eagle gym because of the UAAP event happening.XDD So we were still able to buy food. The coached left us but they came back after about 2 hours because after an hour and 30 minutes, they were only able to drive up to Xavier Hall. They got frustrated so they decided to just go back to the gym.XD
By 4 PM, we noticed that the rain wasn't that strong anymore and that the traffic in Ateneo eased up. Tim, Kuya Tong, and I walked to McDo so we could buy actual food.XDD Wahahaha!!
After everything, I was fetched by my parents at 6:30 in the gym.=D I was stranded in Ateneo for 10 hours.@__@
Anyway, it was sort of scary because we could see that the sky looked so dark. At 11 AM, it looked like it was 6 PM.@__@ Plus, I was hearing about how bad the storm was from other people. The flood went inside both Coach Chiara's and Kuya Tong's houses. It almost reached the 2nd floor of their house. I also heard that some of my relatives and friends were severely affected by the floods but at the same time, I was happy that no one got hurt.=) It's a weird feeling. Hahahaha!!
I hope that nothing this bad will happen ever again.
