Post-Weather Report

After three days of darkness and drought, things are slowly getting back to normal. The typhoon not only left thousands of people homeless, it also left thousands of uprooted trees all over the metro. I actually witnessed the trees literally fall off, its branches being swept off by the strong winds. Seriously, naawa talaga ako sa mga trees. Makati seems so bare now. Everywhere I go, I see fallen trees both old and new. It’s sad.


Our car also bore the brunt of the typhoon. The windshield got smashed, the whole of it totally shattered. I’m not sure though whether the typhoon should be blamed or it’s just plain carelessness of Mang Elmer. He literally drove into a tree branch. Good thing there’s insurance.



If there’s anything good that came out of it, business has been doing very good. Herds of people have been flocking to our stores to eat. Dumami sobra mga tao. I don’t know if it’s the aftereffects of the typhoon or because it was payday weekend or because electricity was not 100% up yet, it seemed like everybody wanted to go out and are eager to eat.
