My Journal - Ravaged by Milenyo ! ! !

One hellova typhoon Melenyo was ! ! ! Never seen anything like it in my lifetime, exagerating? u wish.... I was in the MIDDLE of the FREAKIN TYPHOON ! ! ! hehe No kiddin

Went to the US Embassy like 6:00 a.m. just to be told that they where closed for the day (Grrrrr hate waking up early). So instead of wastin time, went str8 to the office until around 11:30 went all the power went off! (Grrrr turning out to be a bad day!).

Here is where the excitement begins...

Was about to go home with mah sista and a bud go thru my usual route of goin inside Fort Boni area. Driving gingerly when suddenly, saw our Gym Signage outside the Philippine Army Wellness Gym blocking the entrance. Disregarded the scence as not out of the ordinary (may be rusty I thought) then proceeded and made a right turn when got surprised when I saw a tall Lamp Post blocking our path (thought it was kewl!) Tree fell down on the wire and took the post with it... (again nothin extraordinary).

Turn around to Fort Bonifacio the one Giant Tree Branch fell infront of us! (yipee... getting really excited). Persistent, proceeded towards Essensa Building (place wer Kris Aquino almost set fire during a fight with Mr. Joey) when suddenly ! ! !

Entering the Fort Boni Main, the wind suddenly swept under almost lifted the freakin car! (now blood pumpin real fast). Don't know how to describe the panic that followed since we where stuck in the middle of the chaos. Cars parked, bikes scattered all around and no one had any plans of moving.

After cursing and shouting at a car beside us, finally we where able to move infront of the building and us it to block the strong wind. Windows, Roofs, Trees and everything not firmly installed where flying all around us. (remember flying house? the cartoon? well it was true that day!)

Stayed there for 2 hours until the wind slow down considerably. Anyway have to get back to work now... More to come on my very unusual/exciting encounter with Melenyo....
