In the wake of Typhoon Milenyo (international name Xangsane)

I was at TGIF in Ayala with my SO yesterday for lunch, we sat by the window to get a view, and did we get it. Hell, signages were being torn and flying around, trees were uprooted, metal roofs from stuff under construction was taking off, segments of trees were crossing the streets, visibility went on and off, and we were eating soup and chicken.

From our homes, we didn’t think were so bad outside, and I wanted to stock-up on some food (haven’t been to the groceries in a while). While we were eatin’, I was starting to think goin’ out was a bad idea. It was particularly annoying that the supermarket, the whole reason why I went out in the first place, was closed. Fortunately, I was able to take her and myself home safely.

It wasn’t much of a surprise that there was no power at home when I got back, but I only realized that I can hook up to the generator power after dinner at night (I ate at Chilli’s, things calmed down already and they seemed the only ones open).

I feel kinda lucky that I had some semblance of electricity last night, and I am kinda impressed that power returned at 0000 today.

Hope things wasn’t so bad for the others.

Oh yeah, obviously, I have ‘net access. Cable TV is another story.
