Typhoon Glenda, also known as Rammasun internationally, shook and damaged Manila extremely hard. The skies just started clearing up earlier and I hope everyone's safe. I was smoking outside, around 4AM, when I first felt how strong the storm was. I had to put my cigarette out because I was slammed on the door due to the howling winds and the lashing rain--it was awful and a bit scary. I went back to my room shortly after to get some shuteye and I was awoken by the intense wind at around 7AM because I thought someone was banging the door. Apparently, it was just the wind. I couldn't get proper sleep after that so I started texting relatives and friends because I was starting to worry given the intensity of the storm. I couldn't sleep anymore because the electricity was out.
After lunch, the boyfriend and I started feeling uncomfortable because it was starting to get hot and it was also quite dark so we decided to go out and charge our devices. Most of the restaurants and coffee shops along Maginhawa were closed but good thing Seattle's Best was open! It became our refuge until the electricity was revived around 9PM. We immediately went to the Supermarket to buy groceries because we didn't have enough food at home, and we were worried because another storm is about to hit the Philippines on Friday. Let's all be safe and ready!
