I was in the leadership program of the community when Typhoon Ondoy hit Manila. I received a text message from my sister telling me that the flood water was inches away from our house roof. At first, I thought she's exaggerating. I can't concentrate anymore from the workshop so I decided to go to the ladies wash room. I called my sister and I could her voice sounded crying. That started my anxiousness. She told me that my mom was in our next door neighbor's 2nd floor and my sister was in the other next door neighbor's house as well. It even terrified me when I received my brother's text message that the dogs also sacrificed. I burst into tears when I read that message. Outside the washroom's window I could see that the rain was pouring heavily as if joining me in the agony that I've been going through at that moment. A sister from the community entered the wash room and saw me crying. She approached me and prayed over me. After praying she tried to calm me and asked me she'll be getting an elder sister. Another sister went in and talked to me. She also prayed over. She was able to asked me to return to the workshop but even that I followed her request I can no longer concentrate anymore. It was tormenting that my family was at risk of drowning while I was in a comfortable and safe place. I knew God sent angels to protect them and true indeed that my family was safe. The typhoon indeed destroyed alot of things in our house including the memories of childhood but still I felt thankful and blessed because I still have my family alive. Alot of friends donated food and dry clothes to us. God is always good.

Nasa bahay lang ako samin sa Laguna.... parang normal lang n ulan dun tapos sabi sa balita baha daw sa ilang areas sa manila... parang di ko masyadong pinansin kasi lagi naman talagang me baha pag umuulan tapos nagulat na lang ako na pati pala EDSA baha!... aba! iba na pala un... kasi di naman talaga normally binabaha sa EDSA ng ganun di b... tapos tinetext ko mga ofcmates ko... hala! walang nagrereply! kinakabahan ako kasi habang nanood ako ng TV lagpas tao n daw baha dun sa mga areas nila... tapos un pala walang signal.... me ilan lang nagreply pero mga 2 tao lang...

pagpasok ko next day hindi na baha... tapos aun tumambad n ang mga pics sa net ung mga casualties after ng bagyo... nakakatakot rin kasi sobrang bilis daw tumaas ng tubig tapos me mga patay... me mga ofcmates ako na hanggang ngayon daw e baha pa sa knila...

Nagdonate me ng clothes and groceries. Buti n lang hindi natuloy si Typhoon Pepeng dito... kundi baka mas malala pa mangyari e hindi p nga tapos ung iba ausin mga bahay nila...

Praise God you and your family are safe. Your donation will be a great help to our kababayan who really are in dire need of help.
For those who are donating clothes, please make sure that they are in good condition and really useful. I remember there was one government official who donated clothes in our barangay. One of the clothes that was given away was a silk top which was like a costume of a Datu. It was received by one of the "tambays" and it became a laughing stock of the people in our street. I know that the government official had a good intention of helping people but maybe he was not aware that those kind of clothes were given away. It would have been better if can goods or easy to cook food was given away than those kind of clothings.

macabre_doll · 2009-10-08 21:10:39

Puro mga lumang maayos pa na tshirt, jacket, polo shirt, shorts and pants ung pinamigay namin kasi magagamit talaga nila un...

Hehe... grabe nga e.. nalaman ko na me iba nagdodonate pa ng gown!? haha... dapat pag nagdonate ung talagang magagamit sa mga ganitong situation.... hindi ung dahil para madispatsa lang sa bahay...

ympact93 · 2009-10-08 21:26:59

we were trapped sa 2nd floor ng bahay ng kapitbahay namin. buti pinatuloy nila kami

the flood reached hanggang 4th step yata ng stairway nila nun

buti na lang nung sunday night dumating ung pinsan ko para dito muna ako tumira sa pioneer for the meantime

thank GOD none ov my relatives or friends died during the typhooons onslaught. makakarecover din kami in GODs time

Oo nga...ang sabi nga...."Donate what they need and not what you do not need". Marami ngang nag a appeal sa facebook na doon sa mga nag do donate ng clothes...huwag mag donate ng gowns, costumes, pants na sira na ang mga zippers etc or pang bottoms na wala na talagang garters. In short, yung magagamit naman.

our house in rizal was totally submerged din in flood during ondoy. apparently, i was out of town that day kya safe ako. what my family did, lumikas sila sa katapat na kapitbahay na may 2nd floor kasi bungalow lang house namin. i cried a lot kasi wala ako that day ni hindi ko man lang natulungan parents ko lalo. halos lumangoy sila just to get to our neighbor..eh ung current daw sobrang lakas at maputik. they almost drowned if not for the help daw of a good samaritan na isa sa mga neighbors namin na umakay sa kanila. hayy. but i am still thankful my family's all alive. we are also trying to move on na. one week din ako nag leave sa office to help clean up the whole house. though madami kami nasirang appliances and stuff, marami rin kaming natanggap na donations, relief goods and cash gifts from our relatives kya sinisimulan na ngayon re-construction ng lahat ng na-damage na area sa house. we even got an extra TV from one of our friends! God is still good!

What was your experience with Typhoon Ondoy? Ayun, nagkaron ako ng GG/OTL...

Here is how my story goes... (sensya na medyo mahaba)

[Sept 27, 2009 - 12:00pm]
Nakaupo ako sa loob ministop malapit sa World Citi Medical Center, habang binabasa ung mga huling text messages nya sa akin...

Postpone na daw ung concert. Tomorrow na lng tau kita. Pauwi na ako. Ingat ka din. Salamat (sept 26, 1:56pm)

Dito na ko labasan. Grabe naman to, wala ng makita sa mga bubong sa baba. Di ako makapunta sa amin. Naabot na daw sila kuya sa 2nd flr. Basang basa na ko ng ulan. Nagchi-chill n ko sa lamig. (sept 26, 3:22pm)

Nope d2 na ako sa may highway sa amin. Kitang-kita ko yung mga mabababang bahay sa baba, d n makita bubong. Grabe namang pagsubok to. huhu (Sept 26 - 3:28pm)

Sobrang lalim kac abot na daw kami sa 2nd flr. Lumipat na sila kuya sa 3rd flr. (sept 26, 3:31pm)

Uu nga eh, isa pa basang basa na ako. Baha lahat kahit saan ako pumunta. Ok lng sana kung hindi ako basa, matitiis ko pa. (sept 26 - 3:33pm)

Dito pa din sa kanto. Pinapanood yung mga nire-rescue. Worried ako kina kuya, ang bilis tumaas ng tubig. (sept 26 - 3:58pm)

Cris may loading station ba jan ung sun? Paload po muna ako. Wla kac signal yung globe ko. Sila kuya d makababa, wlang makapunta na bangka. (Sept 26 - 4:48pm)

Ok na po. D ko makontak si kuya. Wla din yata syang signal. Cris nagwowori talaga ako. Ang bilis tumaas ng tubig. Tapos huling txt nya, nag-crack daw sa 2nd flr, sa lakas yata ng hampas ng tubig. (sept 26 - 5:05pm)

Ramirez Apartment Doroteo Extension, Santolan Pasig (sept 26 - 5:16pm)

Cris, d2 ako sa bahay ng tumulong sa kin, buti n lng naawa sya sa akin. Kac kung hindi, baka nanigas na ko sa lamig. (sept 27 - 12:43am)

Gutom ako! D pa ako kumakain, sana umaga na (sept 27 - 1:29 am)

Papunta ako ng ospital, malapit sa anonas (sept 27 - 9:50am)

[Sept 27 - 12:20pm]
Paulet-ulet ko binabasa ung mga text msgs nya.. Then kinausap ko sarili ko...
San na kaya sya, bat kaya sya pumunta ng hospital? Pero at least ang sabi ng reception, umuwi n raw sya, ibig sabihin ok naman siguro sya. Di muna ko uuwi, hintay ko muna baka mag-text ulet sya. Eh kung pumunta na lng kaya ko sa bahay nila, kaso baka naman lubog pa rin yung lugar nila. Baka nasa evacuation center sya. Nag-text naman sya s kin kanina umaga, ibig sabihin oks n siguro sya. baka mamya mag-text ulet sya, wait ko n lng...

[Sept 27 - 1:00pm]
Wla pa rin syang reply. Merong tumabi sa kin na manong. Matangkad, matipuno pangangatawan, namumula mata, dahil ata sa umiyak or puyat. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, "kelangan magamit ko yung natutunan ko sa Radical Training, kelangan ma-apply ko ung natutunan ko on how to engage to people..."

Humanap ako ng magandang timing. Nakita ko 2 pala ung cp nya, yung isa bat empty. Then meron syang miscol.
<ako>: Bossing, meron kayong kelangan tawagan, gamitin nyo po muna yung cp ko?
<manong>: Ayos pa tong battery ng cp ko. Magcharge na lng ako d2. Hinihintay ko na lng mag-text yung mga anak ko. Ligtas naman daw sila, nasa evacuation center daw sila eh.
<ako>: taga-saan po kau?
<manong>: jan sa marikina

nagkwentuhan pa kami ni manong, marami akong tinanong s kanya. Kita sa mukha nya yung pagod, dahil sa QC fire station pala sya nagta-trabaho. natuwa ko nung sinabi nya toh...

<manong>: Ok n sa kin kung nawalan kami ng mga appliances. Pero sana yung mga libro ng mga anak ko, pwede pang pakinabangan.

Natuwa ko nung sinabi nya yun, kasi patunay lng na mahalaga sa kanya ung pag-aaral ng mga anak nya. Kung tutuusin, mas mahalaga nga naman ung edukasyon kesa appliances. Bumilib ako kay manong, kasi bakas sa mukha nya ung tibay ng loob nya, kahit malaking halaga ung nawala sa kanila. (napasarap ung kwentuhan namin, pero nakalimutan ko n tanungin yung name nya). maya-maya nakapag-charge na rin sa wakas ng cp si manong. habang nag-charge sya, nag-pray ako. Pinag-pray ko na nasa mabuting kamay ung mga mahal nya sa buhay. Tapos biglang may tumawag sa kanya, mukhang anak nya yata. Parang sinabi ng kausap nya sa cp, kung nasaan sila. After nyang makipag-usap, ngumiti sa kin si manong...

<manong>: Cge iho, puntahan ko na yung mga anak ko sa evacuation center.

Nakangiting lumabas ng ministop si manong. Natuwa naman ako at ligtas ang family nya...

[Sept 27 - 3:00pm]
3 oras na kong naghihintay sa ministop. May tumabi sa kin na mag-ina. Naririnig ko yung kwentuhan nila...

<nanay>: Sana d na lng pala ko nagpa-confine, edi sana may nailigtas pa tayong gamit.
<anak>: Mama, edi ba nga nung friday pa lng, masama na yung pakiramdam nyo

Gusto ko sana sumabat sa usapan, sasabihin ko sana, "everything happens for a reason...". Pero syempre nahiya ako, d ko alam kung pano sisingit.

Maya-maya, lumabas muna ung anak para hanapin ung sundo nila. Nakasimangot yung nanay, parang may bumabagabag sa kanya, kaya nginitian ko sya at kinausap...

<ako>: Eto lng po ba yung ospital na malapit sa anonas?
<nanay>: oo eto lng. Hindi ka taga-rito?
<ako>: Hindi po eh, may hinihintay lng ako.. Taga saan po pala kau?
<nanay>: Ah jan sa pasig. Grabe, hanggang bubung daw ung baha sa amin. Nasa ospital kac kami kaya wla kami naligtas na gamit.
<ako>: At least po ligtas kau, kamusta naman po ung family nyo?
<nanay>: Ligtas naman lahat.
<ako>: Praise God!

Medyo napasarap din kwentuhan namin ni nanay, hanggang sa dumating na yung sundo nila..

[Sept 27 - 3:44pm]
Nagtext sya sa cp ko...

Cris c gen to. Pasensya na lobat ako. Umuwi na kmi ng 12pm. Mamaya baka balik ulet sila kuya sa hospital. haiz kapagod maglinis. reply k n d2.

Nagtext ako sa kanya kung pwede tumulong maglinis ng haus nila. Nung una ayaw nya pumayag, kasi nakakahiya daw,. pero pumayag din sya.. Kaya dumerecho n ko sa haus nila..

(masyado na pala mahaba, hanggang d2 n lng muna ung kwento ko... tuloy ko n lng bukas...)

oy ang sweet! may kwento pala dito..aabangan ko next ha..hehe...

macabre_doll · 2009-10-11 23:05:52

wow... kuya cris... love story mu b yan?... yiheee!!!

----------------

Not sure kung kasama p b to sa experience with Typhoon Ondoy pero ipopost ko n lang.... pero naiinis tlaga ako... grrr...

Huhuhuhu... kanina namasyal ako sa cubao bago pumasok sa office at bumili ng doormat n buy 1 take 1 sa SM... nagikot ikot ako tapos bigla ko n lang naisipan maginternet... hay... ayoko magnet pero parang me gusto akong icheck. Naginternet n nga ako at pagcheck ko sa email ko me security alert ang facebook... at hindi n ko makalogin sa facebook... ang saklap...

Temporary disabled daw ang account ko kesyo baka daw nahack at me naipost na di maganda.... inisip ko kung ano b ung napost ko n baka di pwede... tapos shocks! naalala ko na one week ago, nagpost ako about sa links na pwede magdonate for the victims of Ondoy. Ung mga links ay sa kerygmafamily.com at ung listahan sa google kung saan pwede magdonate pa like kapuso foundation, sagip kapamilya, red cross, at marami pa talagang iba... baka dahil dun kaya nadisabled.

Asar lng kasi hindi naman un fake links katulad nung mga nanloloko dyan na hindi pala para sa Ondoy victims ung idodonate ng mga tao. Unsure if me nagreport nun at hindi chineck ng maaus ung links or automatic un pag me words na "donation" at me mga links. Hindi ko naman alam kung bawal b yun since it's for the benefit of the victims naman ung talagang reason ko dun. Wala nga akong maggain dun kung sakali man... I just want to inform people lalo na sa mga gusto pang magdonate.

Sana sumagot sila sa email na sinend ko para maaccess ko ulit un...burahin n lang nila ung nakapost kung gusto nila... haaay... or gagawa n lang ako ng bagong account... parang nakakatamad tuloy... Kinakabahan din ako dahil baka nahacked nga sya at me kung ano ano nang nakalagay dun... na hindi naman ako ang nagpost... sana wag naman.... huhuhuhu
