typhoon

nov 30, thursday-no classes. actually, it was announced the day before that classes were cancelled due to typhoon. i also learned yesterday na signal #4 na sa amin (virac, catanduanes). i hate it. centro n nmn kami.

mama called up 7.30 am thru the dorm's landline phone. there was no more signal in virac. she couldn't contact me na. she told me to go to san juan because it's going to be a very strong typhoon. it'l be difficult if i get stuck in this dorm. i was opposing it actually. i have to bring a lot of things. she told me to go to san juan quickly before it starts to rain. the typhoon (reming/durian)was already starting to get heavy -rains, winds, etc. the path was supposed to include metro manila. so she was worried too. but i was worried more. my god, my dad is here. so who were left? my mom and four younger sisters. great.

i reached san juan by 9 am, taxi. i read 151, some law, 142, did some 186. actually, i think i was pretty productive that day. i did a lot of things.

dec 1, fri- holiday.

i was supposed to go out with my HS classmates today (miriam, jane, etc) but got cancelled due to bad weather. it wasn't raining, but the sky was gray and gloomy. i watched TV whole day waiting for news. NONE for catanduanes!!!! i hate it! all they said yesterday was that it's signal #4! but nothing nothing now! i hate the Tv stations! everything's down there - electricity, water, communication lines, cell sites, net, radio, everything!!
there is absolutely no contact!

i tried to read something but it was no use. i was worried, and that was it.

good thing there are also some people equally frustrated as i am.

dec. 2, sat- i just finished reading a chapter during the morning, and i did nothing else but watch TV the rest of the day. there is still no news! my gosh~! i was reading newspapers everyday, the TV was on the whole day, i kept on dialling the phone for every few hours, i tried calling them on their cellphones evry few hours, and i'm on the net regularly to check for updates.

this is really frustrating. there is no single news on TV whatever happened to catanduanes. they kept on mentioning albay. thing is,they already know what's happening and what happened there! same thing being repeated! same news, same videos. damnit, they were feasting on the same news the whole darn day, since yesterday pa.

couldn't the government at least send a chopper or a plane there? no volunteers or relief goods (because they'll bring news if ever)? my god.

i just want to know, are they still ok? are they gonna be ok? darn TV stations. darn gov't. u two covered everything, every place the typhoon hit,..all except our province.

my dad said about 6 people died. he said from the radio. that was all.
