As of today, I helped out in cleaning the clinics and offices in the UERM Hospital that were submerged in the flood during the day when Typhoon Ondoy was at it's worst. My aunt's secretary told me about a video that a student uploaded in YouTube. Watch it here:
UERM flood incident - September 26, 2009.
The woman who went on top of her car is a friend of my aunt (they’re both physicians at UERM). Good thing the guards were able to rescue her. :(
I really, really thank God that we weren’t there during the flood incident - to think my aunt usually goes to UERM at 7:30 in the morning everyday. :O

September 27, 2009:
It’s so sad here in the Philippines due to the sudden Typhoon Ondoy. Many houses got destroyed as well as the lives of many helpless people. I had my own Ondoy experience yesterday. It was only 8AM when we got out of the house since my aunt needed to check on her patients so she can discharge them already. By arriving at Philcoa, Commonwelath, We wondered why the cars weren’t moving only to find out that the flood was so deep already that no car can actually pass through it. My aunt received calls from numerous people telling her about the situation of the flood inside the hospital which was already filling up the first floor (all the important documents are stored on that floor). The thing that shocked us was that the wall dividing the (Sta. Mesa) river and the hospital’s compound suddenly broke down (for the first time in 50 years!). Hence, the water from the river added to the flood inside the hospital which definitely made it worse since the water nearly got up to the second floor. Geez. Thankfully most of the patients are safe. But when we visited the hospital earlier, it was really terrible - All the clinics on the frist floor got destroyed, as well as all the parked cars from yesterday (we were also told yesterday that all those cars were floating in the parking lot! Really scary). I did get to take a photo of the place using my phone’s camera but I still can’t manage to fix our PC’s USB D: will upload it once I get to fix this minor problem of mine. :/
Please, PLEASE pray for all those who got affected by the Typhoon Ondoy. And if you can, please do donate old clothes, foods, money, etc. to those who are in dire need of our help due to the destruction. :(
Added the photos last September 28. Yes, I was able to fix the USB!
*This re-post is also for my mom who was complaining the other day about the incomplete loading of the photos. Haha!UERM Hospital yesterday (September 27) - these cars are the ones that were floating in the parking lot the day when the Typhoon was at its worst. The wall collapsed! D: First time in 50 years according to many emloyees. Such a waste. :(
Still looking for stuff to donate; Please do donate as well. A lot of Filipinos are in dire need of help :(
Also from my Sept. 27 Tumblr entry:
After visiting the hospital, my aunt and I decided to go shopping for a while at Trinoma. I bought a new liquid eyeliner and shimmer lip gloss from Prestige. My aunt also got herself a new red lipstick from the same brand.Best eyeliner for me. <3 I love it’s shimmering effect on my lips. Also, I definitely love the menthol feeling I get when I apply it. <3
Anyway, I’m really thinking of creating a fashion blog soon. Fashion blogs have become one of my obsessions lately. I’ll probably create one once I graduate high school (which is next year already). Haha!
Will go to bed now. Songs by ROUND TABLE feat. Nino inspired me and made me feel tomorrow will be a new day without any worries of being stranded again for 5 hours on the road. Sigh. Typhoons begone! D:
