Milenyo left a trail of destruction around the metropolis, my neighborhood included. Felled trees and garbage and tree branches strewn all over greeted me as I made my way past my gate. Que horror!
No electricity since yesterday morning, so I ended up scouring Cubao last night to look for candles and some food. Good thing the water supply wasn't affected.
To kill boredom, with no access to TV, radio and internet, I hied off to the nearest mall to cool off, only to realize half the population of Metro Manila had the same idea. Dios Mio!
The sound of a generator still whirrs behind me as I write this. So I guess I'll still be having dinner by candle light this evening.

If there is a way to create a weaponry that could wipe out eletricity. The whole city will just stall. Then there shall be armegeddon. Or better yet just cut of petroleum supply and thats that no electricity and oil to move the country. Its like a body with out blood supply.
By the way whats Milenyo?
Milenyo is the code name of the typhoon (or hurricane, as the Americans call it) that ravaged the city last thursday. Manileños are still reeling from the devastation it caused, like power outages :)
cheers!
