Milenyo
Storm Signal #3 in Metro Manila today.

Schools and offices on all levels, closed.

All flights cancelled.

Southern Luzon Expressway closed off.

Trees, billboards, rooftops, walls, buildings falling, pinning people to death, making loud noises, leaving debris. Lots and lots of debris. Sections of Robinson Galleria and Market! Market! roofs have collapsed. A building in Calamba has collapsed and hurt about 50 people.  My balcony's flooded and everything in it pretty much soaked. Our lone plant has been uprooted; all its tiny flowers, dead.

No electricity in Metro Manila. Even the electricity company's offices don't have electricity (getting that SMS from a friend who works from the said company was hilarious). Electricity will not be back for the rest of the night. I hope the generator in this building lasts us the night.

Manila Mayor declares Manila in a state of calamity. I don't know exactly what that means, but it sounds serious.

But life goes on.

The Inquirer and GMA-7 are still delivering up-to-date news.

Politicians are still going on and on and on and on about the proposed Charter Change.

The Philippine government is making a move to have an Islamic group on the US and UN terrorist blacklist -- so anti-terrorism and all its tentacles are still alive.

There were people in the mall today when Cirio and I stepped out briefly to buy food for the kitty cats.

According to gurlygurlracer, our favourite pool spot is open for business tonight. She's been there since 4pm, since her office closed down for the day.

And I'm online.
