15 hours

 woke up at around 11 pm by a sudden gust of wind outside. Usually by a cold weather like that I would cuddle up my bed and never even bother to wake up. But this was a different story. The wind is violently pounding the pane and my neighbors roof. I wondered if there's a storm which is kinda funny because the last time I watched the news was like a few weeks back. I never even bother to turn the TV on even if its just in my room. Nothing excites me there. This made me realize I have never even bother to see whats happening in the outside world. How Pathetic. Haha.

I had to check through the internet if there was a storm coming, and hell yeah there is.. I didn't even realize that the typhoon is now on Public Storm signal no. 2, Can you believe that? And Just as I was about to update my facebook page: 'Wag ka ma ba brown-out!' Digg this! The power went off. Unbelievable. Haha.

I have like more than 10 hours of sleep, gained energy and very wakeful, realizing that I don't have anything to do at all. Its dark and haven't eaten yet. How very unfortunate. So It turns out spending 8 hours wide awake listening to the raging winds and playing guitar is not bad.. You'll still live but will slowly drive you mad. Haha.

Lucky for me I didn't. Now the challenge when I woke up in the morning was finding a good way to spend my day. I just need to go OL for just a bit. I went from the market up to the city hall to find a internet cafe to waste my time with. It turns out it is a citywide black-out. Bummer! So I had to go back to the house and waste my time listening on the radio for the first time, only to find out from the news that the power will more likely be on for 2-3 days. WTF!

I decided to visit my relatives and noticed that while I'm on my way. Some roofs are damaged. Houses destroyed and even some source income for some people came to a halt. This was done by a public storm signal number 2, what more for 4? Dear GOD please don't. This somehow made me realize and appreciate the things that I have and so I am Thankful.

That was the story of typhoon Basyang.

In a different note, Today I had a great time/dinner with friends. We dined in and talked. Way to much laughter. FUN. It was almost fun until I remember walking from Caloocan to Edsa, it was something different though so I still enjoyed it. Haha. Here are some pics.
