Photo Updates on the Flood in Sandoval Ave. in Pasig City as of 6 p.m., Saturday, 11 August 2012

As of 6 p.m., 11 August 2012 - flood in Sandoval Ave. is still widespread;  ankle-deep to half-a-tire-deep.

Oh, boy!  There's no more food inside the refrigerator.  Our week's supply - gone!  Well, there's still instant noodles.  But with "preservatives enough to put a horse to sleep" (unverified - LOL), I would not dare test that notion by eating instant noodles morning, noon, and night.  So, I have to go outside and buy food.  I will once again, with all splendor, ride the yellow garbage truck!  Reminiscent of the good old Ketsana days, I guess this would be fun!

Videos of the Flood in Sandoval Avenue as of 6:00 pm, Thursday, 9 August 2012.

Thank God the rains have stopped!  The sun actually peeked a few times.  The skies indeed, unlike for the past few grueling days, provided a very pleasing view.  Looking down however, would disappoint you.  From where I am standing, the flood in Sandoval Avenue in Pasig City has not yet receded.  It is still knee-deep.  The deepest parts are still waist-deep while the shallowest parts are ankle-deep.

Oh No, Not Again! FREAKIN' Southwest Monsoon!

08 August 2012 - Flood from this Fuc%#@$, Freakin' Southwest Monsoon

27 September 2009 -  Flood from Typhoon Ketsana / Ondoy

I thought I was spared.  It really is a humdinger of a southwest monsoon.  Just like probably the thousands of families in evacuation sites right now, I owe this freakin' monsoon a blasphemous rant.  It's sad however, that I can't do it here.  :-(  Just about when the weather is improving (a little bit, as it is still raining as of this writing), there's a knee-deep flood along the stretch of the avenue where my place is located.  I can't go anywhere!

I'm like a broken record - this is just a bad deja vu.  It's like Ketsana all over gain.  I've got the pictures above and videos below to prove it.  Take a close look.  They look very similar, right?
