Typhoon Experience

Last night was my first ever typhoon experienced since I moved here in Taytay. Flashed of lightning occurred every 5 seconds. The strong wind hits the branches of trees creating a strong buzzing sounds. The continuous pouring of heavy rain then suddenly the lights turned off.

The typhoon signal in my area rise at number 3 with heavy rain and strong wind. The rain starts pouring in the afternoon, but it's not that strong and heavy, and so as the wind.

I was planning to write an article about the environment last night but I was afraid in lightning, so I stopped and decided to listened to music. Two purposed, to calm myself from the fear and nervousness I felt, and to make myself fall asleep. I listened to music, but its no used. My mind was into great fear of what's happening at that moment. Everytime the lightning flashed, my gazed was diverted into the window and I can't helped it. I tried to swift my gazed in every corner of my room but the lightning was like a magnetic that attract my eyes without my consent. I closed my eyes and covered myself with blanket, singing in my mind with the same music I've heard. For a moment, I felt calmed.

As I was about to fall asleep, my earphone got unplugged and the strong rain wake me again.

I declared a battle with my will to fall asleep and the sound of the heavy rain. And after the long battle, I passed out.

I wake up suddenly feeling the bite of mosquitoes, that's when I realized that the electricity was cut. I looked at my phone and it was 5 o clock in the morning, the rain and wind was still rampaging outside my window. I saw a text messages by the NDRRMC.

I went back to sleep again and wrapped myself with blanket, it's cold.

After an hour I woke up, grabbed my phone and opened my wifi trying to check readcash, but to my dismay, I forgot that the electricity was cut and so the wifi was off, and I don't have load. So sad. 😔

Anyway, that's my first typhoon experienced here in Taytay.
