(I know i haven’t posted any vlog on here for a long long time but here it is…this is a video i took when the flash flood happened.)

It was early in the morning, about 5am, my mama woke me up in a state of panic as our kitchen and living room was already flooded, the water was up to her knees. The refrigerator was floating in the kitchen, our old couch was soaked in our sala (means living room). The water was getting higher so we stayed upstairs in our room and saving some other things like the TV, unplugging power cords…and after a minute the water almost got to our waist…it was scary…for a minute when i saw the water inside the house i was thinking back when i was still a kid where i used to daydream about living underwater like a mermaid (influenced by the movie the little mermaid). I dismissed the thought after a second and told myself “no this is not it, this is definitely not it!” and woke up in a slumber.

I was scared and even more scared when i remembered the story that my Mama told us about the flash flood that happened 29 yrs ago, year 1980. She was pregnant with me at that time and she said the water was getting deeper, up  to their neck. They had to evacuate to some place and she was carrying my older brother and he was then only 5 months old at that time and walking in the water she was followed by a snake and a cow…sooooo scary.

After about an hour thank God the water slowly subsided and we decided to evacuate to my brother’s apt, so we can be safe at least their’s is kind of elevated. So check out the video.

Thank you, God Bless and Be safe!
