No more clean clothes left in my bag. Last day at the hotel.
I called up our Engineer at home to check if there was an update. He was sad to tell me that water supply may take a while and that he was trying to coordinate with Meralco. There was scarcity with manpower. Oh. I thought I saw one Meralco truck along Ortigas Ext. last Monday before we left. But I guess I was wrong.
And so I had to let my manager know about the still sad news.
Next plan was dorm. For a week. I am sooo grateful for my company's provision of my temporary accommodation. Thank you so much! It's a great help for me. Such a blessing!
So me and my brother rushed home to gather more clean clothes. Upon entering the gate, a group of people were busy pumping out the muddy water from the basement. Looked like they were having a hard time drying out the basement. This may take a few more days, I thought.
Then there we were again at the bottom of the bridge, waiting for Ortigas-bound vehicles for half an hour or so.
I got a call that the room will be ready in a while but when I checked my watch, there was no time to drop by at the dorm's counter to claim the key. Instead, I went straight to work, finished my shift with half of my lids closed, then went to the dorm to rest.
It was tiring but still very thankful that there's a place to stay, water for bathing, and power to charge our communication tools.
We're still so much blessed. News say that there are parts of Pasig and Cainta still soaked in water. Many are homeless, hungry, and have no more clean clothes to wear.
We are still blessed.
