September 26, morning. or was it afternoon? yeah, It was afternoon. WAIIIT! It was morning! 11:00am.
We were already removing the things placed on the ground for them not to be wet by the water. Then when it was... I think 12:45pm. The flood rose and started to rush upon our cemented rock-built building where our family dwells. It didn't get into our house..well it did... but not that much. It was like a spilled gallon of water running on the floor. It wasn't that much so no need to worry. :)
I went outside to see the roads being filled and covered with the flood the rain had brought. it was pretty high yet it was fun to step on. It was like a big puddle of water! Oh wait. It is. I walked towards the river close to our house. We all watched as the men i our neighborhood figure out a way to drain the flood. The women their kept chattering about the flood and the rivers and the garbage being thrown there (when they themselves do those.) Listening to their stupid stories is just a waste of time and a boring one too. So I decided to get close to the river. but not too close. About 5 meters away? It was dangerous. I might fall in and be driven away. So the men (including my dad) finally figured out a way to drain the flood. They tried to open the gate which leads to the river. The river is located waayyy down over there. It generally is a dam and has a tall wall of bricks blocking the view and preventing people to fall. and eventually get lost then die. Wow. I sound like I'm so compatible with death. well, I'm NOT. they kept pushing and pushing AND PUSHING the gate away fromt their body, doing it with all their might until they finally accomplished their mission. All cheered, "HOORAYY!!" And I witnessed the water rushing towards the gate And some areas have holes so I was like seeing mini whirlpools! It was fun to watch nature do its natural thing.
Show's done. all went home to find the floors with left small watter puddles still stuck there. It didn't reach the rooms so we were gladly blessed we don't have to clean the floors again. e let the floor dry on its own then we returned to our usual routine. I, using the computer. My big sis. watching tv turning to the "ETC" channel. or was it Velvet? My lil. sis. using her PSP, Ate Lyn doing the chores, and my father... still outside.
The second flood came right after the first flood did. (Ok, I'm just gonna make this fast `cuz I wanna move on to my other post.) The second flood was dirty, well, it was color brown. The 3rd was worse than than the other two. It was a knee-high flood!but it's ok. nothing bad happened anyway. THANK GOD! ^w^ All is well.
But that's not the end of it...
