This week, the Philippines got bitch-slapped by thypoon "Florita" And cause of the nonstop rains, my room (the whole town of Kawit, Cavite actually) has been flooding for the past three days. As if on cue, the water comes in at around noon and stays there till around 5 or 6 pm. fuck high tide!

It's not so bad where I live (400 meters from the lakeshore) but only because we've still got a lot of trees in the area to suck up the floodwater. The worst part is when garbage is floating around and when the rats come out of their holes due to the water,, aahh disgusting vermin!

we live on a mountaink, or at least i think its either a very small mountain or a really big hill. so anyway, its just the strong winds that did damage, no electricity most of the time for two days.
hey bat/wetdog, what do you do when the flood enters your room? do you stay in there?

i had to take all the important things (CPU, guitar, CDs, cassettes, porn) up to the second floor, stay there for most of the day then clean the room by late afternoon. sucked big time. glad its over now. probably start flooding again if another storm hits. odd thing is, this never happened before. i guess its caused by all these subdivisions eating up the areas where there used to be fish ponds.
