The aftermath.
Monday morning and the water finally subside to a more tolerable level. First thing first, hubby went outside to buy some food. After an hour or two, he went back with a sumptuous meal, RICE and hot soup. Finally! We acted as if we hadn’t eaten for years. And the worst part is about to begin. The cleaning. The mess that Ondoy left was unbelievable. It appears to me that everything is a trash. There was nothing left downstairs.
Aside from the physical mess, we also had to deal with the trauma and the emotional scar it left us. It was unexpected. Something unexpected and unbelievable happened to us and it would take some time to forget. The kids were also traumatized. The fact that they were not a about to eat for days was enough. Now, a slight rain can make them snap and ask if it there is flood again. It was really hard dealing with it. I can see fear in their eyes…

October 5, 2009 at 6:57 amhaaaay… napraning ako at na-trauma for a waist-deep flood dito sa min pero kahit pano napaghandaan dito sa Manila dahil tumaas lang about few inches than the usual. Pero sa nakita ko lawak ng nasalanta ni ONdoy, ramdam ko ang trauma dahil di ni-expect ninuman ang nangyari. Sigh. Siguro you need to focus muna sa mga bata para mawala sa isip nila ang nagyari.

October 21, 2011 at 11:53 amOndoy caught me unprepared because I did not stock up supplies like ready to eat meals, bread and sodas. kaya the following day, i went my way to the supermarket, ngpanic mode ng konti because we didn’t get to eat decently for two nights.
