Ever walked under the pouring rain where the storm hits signal no. 2 on you region? I did. And it was the one most memorable thing that ever happened to me.
Last saturday was our scheduled seminar for the Red Cross: First Aid seminar, and I was totally pissed off that morning because the school didn't postponed the seminar even though we are under the storm signal. I waited for my friends under the pouring rain with the cold wind blewing in on my face. Great...
My friend and I decided to buy some breakfast at Mcdo and good thing was my other friend arrived after we finished the food. We went to the school and not even half the population of 4th year students attended the seminar. You could freakin' count all the people that were there. We were about 50+ student who attended the seminar either for the money/baon or they attended so they can go somewhere after that.
That is me about to fall asleep during the seminar. The seminar was preety good but I'm getting bored and bored as time pass by. They're showing us what to do in times of emergency, I know I should listen but I'm dead tired that time and I was annoyed at my classmate because she said that we had to shoot for our project: RAIN OR SHINE! What the?!? So, The seminar was over earlier than expected since the lights were showing signs that there will be an upcoming brownout, and my classmate decided to postponed the shoot since we were short on members that time. After the seminar, we went to Mcdo to eat lunch and I recieved a text message from my Papaping, and he said that I shouldn't go home that time because all the available route from my school to my house is flooded. And one by one, my classmates recieved the same message. We were joking around that if by any chance, our parents weren't able to fetch us we would sleep at Mcdo since it's open for 24 hours.
We went out of Mcdo since we stayed there for too long already, so we accompanied my classmate to buy some anime CD. Even though were using umbrellas, we were soaking wet when we went outside the only thing that was partly dry is our undergarments. We played under the pouring rain, splashing rain water on each of us, we were running like a bunch of little kids on the park. Our umbrellas got blew off and was broken so some of us shared one umbrella. It was super fun, so I told you that it was one of my memorable things that ever happened to me! After that, two of my classmates went home. The other wasn't able to gom home since there was no FX or Jeep that was going to her route. Then tragedy strucks:
* I was hungry. I don't have enough money that time, because I bought it to buy clay. A CLAY! but I was able to use it when there was nothing left to do in the library. I made some weird sculptures. The teacher behind me said she understand why I was playing clay. T.T Thank You.
* My cellphone's battery is dead. So I have to borrow a charger from my teacher but it was empty when my father texted me. Good thing he was able to call me and tell me where he was that time
* It was getting late and my father is still finding his way to get through the flood, trying to find alternative route. He called me if I have any classmate that is living near so that I can sleep there that night. No way!
* I was hungry.
* I'm starting to think about negative things. What if I really have to sleep in the school library? There's ghost lurking around the school!
* News were coming in, somebody died in the bridge near Ynares center. A bridge gave in in Tikling. Landslide. flashflood. O.o
* I was hungry.
* I was hungry.
* I was hungry.
And about 6:00 pm, my dad arrived. You should see how happy I was when I saw my dad, I was jumping in joy!
we went to different stores to buy some food. But even Mini Stop was out of food, so went to the grocery store. Good thing we were able to think of a way to buy food.
It was already 10:00 pm, my mother isn't arriving yet. I was praying to God to protect her since anything can happen to her. I tried to wait for her, but I fell asleep. Ehe ^^', My mom arrived the next morning soaking wet. She told us her story. Thoug my mom was stranded and slept in a van whe was in, her experience when she was stranded was funny.
To all the victims of the typhoon Ondoy, God will always provide.
To all who died saving those people who need to be saved but died too, You are all heroes. Go and be with God.
I have still have a lot of story to tell, but this post is getting preety long. So I just leave it like this.
