I was looking outside through the glass window in the office at around 10:00 A.M. last Saturday morning. I've notice that the rain was pouring so hard and vehicles were not moving. When it was time to go home, I decided not to take EDSA and headed towards Ortigas Extension. I was planning to get a jeepney ride at I.P.I. going to Pelaez. When I was in Libis, I noticed the heavy traffic then a woman probably in her late 20's said that they have been stuck in that place for 2 hours now. Since we are headig the same direction, we decided to walk. At first the water is only touching my ankle, I felt it wasn't a big deal to walk. But I noticed that the flood is getting bigger and bigger. The highest level was up to my waist. It was so difficult to walk especially that the rain is pouring so hard and the current is so strong. I have no choice so I continue my journey. That was the first time that I experienced leg cramps. Super sakit mapulikat!!! I wanted to stop in the middle of the water but I can't since I can feel that the flood is getting bigger not to mention the cold rain. That was were I had my walkaton-in-the-rain-session last Saturday. That was taken in Libis, Q.C.

I was amaze with the desposition of every Filipino. Sa gitna ng baha at ng bagyo, lahat nakangiti habang naglalakad. It seems everything was normal. Alam mo yon parang ang mga tao sumasali sa extra challenge, talagang full of energy and with high spirit. Iba talaga ang pinoy. At nagawa pang i-video at magpicture sa baha, syempre pati ako nakipicture din for blogging purposes naman.

After hours of walking, I was finally in Q.C. and it felt so good to be riding in a taxi after a super stressful day. That was the first time that I had to walk in flood. I hope that would also be the last.

*ice breaker of the day-when i went home, I went to the comfort room to get a good and long shower. I was devastated when the water running through the faucet is so scanty in amount. I shouted "Ate tubiggggg!!!!". Then our helper replied back, Pau wala...BROWNOUT ang TUBIG...hay ate you made my day!!!hehe!!!nag pa-igib na lang ako ng pangligo kay ate.
