lucky for me, i didn't leave my camera inside our car. or else...

whoa! we live in scout area, just parallel timog. i'm aware of the hard rain but didn't know it was that GRABE!!!flood! poor cars! what time was this?

Jen... I pray everything turned out well... I know... "Badtrip talaga yan." :(

@dave around 9:30 bumaha na, nung nasa loob na ng restaurant yung tubig, saka kami lumabas, cannot do anything about it, di makaalis dun kaya nagtake pictures na lang.

@Earl, sinabi mo pa. :( dami nasira sa car, soaked pa ang seats.

hayy! i feel for you. sana ma restore yun car mo really soon. detailling on going? saan nagyyari to exactly? (i left a comment on your flickr site).

i noticed you were shooting sa isang place lang, di ka makaalis no?

grabe... same experience tyo... ako naman sa manila... nastuck din ako dahil anywhere i go, malalim na baha na talaga... suerte lang ako syo dahil nde ako nalubog, yun nga lang wala nmn ako camera... hehehe... :Grin:

ako naglakad in knee-deep waters in pasong tamo! perennially flooded place, basta hard rain.

i was looking at all the people and the various responses they had... from waiting in any shade, clumped tightly, to riding profiteering pedicabs, to tiptoing over makeshift bridges, to kids swimming...and all i could think about was "damn, this is a fantastic street photography project!!!" :D

all the while i was already drenched up to my briefs...hehehe.

all the while i was already drenched up to my briefs...hehehe

Ewwww!

I would have run to the nearest drugstore and got some Fissan powder he he he!

very unfortunate... hope you get your car back in shape :) Terrible sat night. The rain just wouldn't stop. Lucky was at a friends house where there was no floods.

Ewwww!

:Grin::Grin::Grin: buti na lang i live nearby...was able get to the showers quickly. oh well, its a familiar experience na rin, having studied in don bosco in pasong tamo. every year there's a "lusong sa baha" story to tell...jologs ba? i think its part of pinoy culture! hehehe

seriously, hope everyone's cars will be back in order soon. and hopefully no one left their cameras inside..........

Jay,

Funny you mentioned Don Bosco, was there last Friday. We heard the 7:00PM mass, when we came out Amorsolo was under water. Several cars was damaged, grabe it happened so fast. Must heve been really freaky weather we had last Friday. There was even a tornado in Manila bay, one of my friends was able to take a picture. Will ask for a copy and post it soon.

yeah, one of our staff texted me about that tornado! astig daw ah complete with lightning...scary...but that would have been a nice contri to issue 5! hehe.

i just dont know whats up with pasong tamo. 20 years they have been doing everything...from enlarging the sewers to making more drain systems...they tried raising the road by a couple of inches... and still it goes underwater in just 30 minutes of hard rain.

its such a big, perplexing conundrum for the city engineers...feeling ko they have given up na.

all the while i was already drenched up to my briefs...hehehe.

Thats funny, I had my share of numerous walks in flooded areas.. from high school, college to working life.. :D

Before in Vito cruz, because theres a lot of manholes that are left open, or sidewalks that are suddenly deep, people tend to walk in lines :Grin: they follow the person in front of them so that when he suddenly fall submerge they would know thats deep or theres a hole there :D


Anyway hope everythings well Jen :) And good thing you always bring your camera with you, or it will be in the car..

Hi Edwin,

Are you related to Erick and Junie Yabut of Sanlo and Ritchie?:)
btw, same here, we just got out from greenbelt, matindi na ang traffic sa Ayala and Herrera area going to Mile Long, good thing i had the chance to turn back and drove back to gbelt parking, me and my wife managed to go home at 2am na!:)

ditto.

This is one of the worst I've seen.

Hi Jay,

Talking about camera inside the car...my friend, during a heavy downpour at noontime just left his camera bag just to grab something very quick near the Rizal memorial coliseum. When he returns, isang hallow blocks na nasa loob ng T shirt ang kapalit ng camera bag nya, wasak ang window nya
:Scared:

Twister in Quezon City...

ayayayayay...u just reminded me of my office in Navotas

hayy! i feel for you. sana ma restore yun car mo really soon. detailling on going? saan nagyyari to exactly? (i left a comment on your flickr site).

hindi eh, kasi natatakot ako magtrip at mahulog sa water ang aking beloved camera :D
nasa labas ako ng Spring Deer Restaurant. Flooded na din inside kaya pinatay na nila power dun sa restaurant. (Yup, nakita ko na yung message mo dun sa site ko Dave)

@jay_jallorina sayang no, ala ka dala dala camera, gandang subjects yang ganyan.

@anton_montilla unfortunate for the car owners (us included) but, better the cars than us na lang ang masasabi ko. kaso, huhuhu, gastos talaga.

@gelbert naku idol, alam mo suerte nga di ko iniwan talaga sa car. iniiwan ko pa naman yan lagi. lesson learned na yan, wag na mag-iwan sa car ng camera. sayang pag nabasa. (di naman siguro lagi babaha no?)

@bryant kakatakot naman yung twister na yun. where exactly was that in Quezon City???

oh wow, sayang naman yung camera... some people talaga...

But if you have your cam in the car, might as well bring it always :)
We dont know what there is to capture... :D

Ganyan pala kalala ng baha nun? Kaya pala dami nagpalinis samin the next day... I think we received around 8 units for flood recovery on the 10th alone.

(Oh, we own a couple of detailing shops hehe).

grabe din talaga mag-flash flood diyan sa don bosco/pasong tamo. used to live in a condo there beside waltermart, ang parking ko sa kabilang building in estacion street near the riles. hindi nagbabaha dun eh!

hopefully be back there next year, after this assignment out-of-town, para stone's throw away lang ang OWG. :)

lucky for me, i didn't leave my camera inside our car. or else...

another good reason why we should'nt leave our cameras inside the car
