The past few days flew by so fast! But it was fun. Last Saturday I was with Ryan, we had a movie marathon at his place. We watched The Gladiator, The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift, and The Da Vinci Code. In between the movies, we ate dinner. During the movies, we ate lots of junk food! We were so stuffed! His cousins were cool, too. Some of his friends dropped by to say “Hi!”

By Sunday, he went to our place and we went to church with my family. Then we had lunch here at home. After that, we went to the mall and bought some school stuff. I bought new Spongebob notebooks. They’re cute! After which, we went to my cousin’s kid’s 5th birthday party. Yep, it was a kid’s party. We had fun, though. By 6pm, the kids had gone home and only the adults are around. A videoke machine was set up. Ryan sang one song, “Yellow” by Coldplay. I sang two. Ryan had one beer, I had none.

We went home by 8pm. Ryan was supposed to go to work at 3:30am today, but last night he was too tired to go.

Last night was fun. :thumbsup:

My friend, JeAr, with my new friend, Grace, came here for a night of Vodka and fun. :thumbsup: Ringo was supposed to come too, but he backed out at the last minute. Well, we’ve (JeAr and I) already figured out that he won’t show up. We still enjoyed the night, though.

We got here at around 9pm. We bought pork chops at the market, I marinated and cooked them. I fried the squid rolls, too. While I was cooking, we also watched The OC. Of course, here, we’re still watching Season 3. The episode last night was when Marissa died. I cried. Damn… She’s needed in The OC, she’s one of the main characters! But according to Hollywood news, she didn’t want to be in it anymore. :stare:

Anyway, after eating dinner. We went outside our house. We stayed there for quite a while and took a LOT of pictures. Yes, a LOT. All in all, we took 160 pictures in one night!

All those pictures will be posted on my Multiply account soon. Then, we started drinking. Opened up a bottle of Vodka and Sprite, as our chaser. All the pulutan on the table. Ready to fight!

I am no drinker. I used to drink until I can’t stand straight anymore. Mind you, I’ve never been drunk. We used a shot glass, and used the Vodka bottle cap to measure what we drink. We decided on one per shot and a gulp of Sprite. When the bottle is half full, we decided to go out of the house again, about 2 in the morning, and we were taking loads of pictures again! We took a lot of funny pictures, especially JeAr!

Bitin?

I thought I was dreaming inside a dream. I awoke with the sounds of the window blinds rhythmically tapping the edge of my bed. Winds enter the room from the window with great strength and power. The paper from the study table is now found on the floor. I noticed that the electric fan is no longer working, but I still feel so cold. I snuggled against my pillows and pulled my comforter up to my neck. I heard my mom telling my brother to go upstairs to get something. I got the information from him that a typhoon called Millenio hit the country. The electricity is out and our phone is not working. Great, I groaned to myself. I didn’t make a move to get off bed. I just lay there for the longest time.

I tried lots of times to contact Ryan. The people in their house are weird. Well, one of them is. I called and asked for him and she said, “Isn’t it raining there?” I said yes. Then she replied with, “The winds are so strong here, just call later.” I was like, “WTF?” I don’t see the connection. If the winds were so strong, it doesn’t mean Ryan can’t talk to me, right? Oh well. An hour later, Ryan text messaged me and told me that their phone is not working anymore and there is no electricity in their place. The duhat tree from their neighbor fell onto a power line.

I accompanied my dad to circle our subdivision. A lot of the trees have been removed from its roots by the typhoon’s strong winds. A lot of debris can be found on the streets. We were lucky that the tree from the back of our house didn’t give us any trouble. We have a huge mango tree from the backyard, and a huge Camachile tree further back. It’s a good thing that my dad had them (maintenance crew) trim the Camachile tree before the typhoon arrived in the Philippines. I saw the biggest branch cut off from it when we passed by the street at the back of our house.

It’s unfortunate for some people who lost their houses from the floods. We have a battery operated radio so we were able to get updates. I heard that a tree fell on an old woman, it’s a good thing that there were people who helped her right away. Some people were stuck in their roofs in Cavite. A mother called the radio station to inform the authorities that her 4-year-old kid and nieces with their help is stuck in their roof and was not responding to calls anymore. She was crying desperately for help. I didn’t get an update on that anymore. I just hope they’re all safe.
