Still Wet:-)



Four days after the water came into our home and it the rain still has not stopped. I think it is now two weeks of nearly non stop rain. If it does stop then only for about 1 hr then it starts again. It is so depressing. We are all still cleaning up the house from when the water came into the house. Now we are always afraid that maybe it will flood again if the rain keeps coming. I have so many dirty clothes but cannot wash because there is no hope of getting them dry. We try and play games and make jokes all the time to keep everyone spirits up. My friends baby is in bad mood because he too is so bored because he loves to play outside and now he cannot go play. I cannot believe how much rain we have it just seems it will never stop. It does not look like stopping. I am a little depressed because of the rain, I want to go swimming and go to the cinema but it is just raining to hard to do anything. I will keep you up dated but I am thinking of starting to build an ark. You have any wood? hehehe Until next time God Bless and take care!

One Very Wet Filipina-hehehe


Everyone is awake by 7am in the hotel, we have simple breakfast of noodles in a cup. About 9.30am we decide to go see if the house is okay. When we get to our street to our surprise the water is gone so we are all happy and laughing but when we get to our house we find that the house had been flooded and about 30cm of water had got into the house by the dirty water mark on the walls. Our lounge which we had no place to put was soaked with water and there was mud everywhere. But mostly every thing was okay so it was a matter of just cleaning up. All of our neighbours was doing the same as the water had got into any home that was on low ground. Where we live is suppose to be the high ground so I feel so sorry for the people who lived next to the river. We where lucky we where all safe. All of our furniture and our personal stuff was okay if a little wet. On the TV news we find out how lucky we where because many people drown including children. The rain is still monsoonal but the street only has small water not like yesterday. They turn the water on about 11am and the electricity about 3pm. We have simple meal for dinner and decide to go to bed early. Everyone is tired after working so hard cleaning the house. We give thanks to our lord and saviour for keeping us safe. Until next time God Bless and take care!

Fleeing Our Home



When I get out of bed this morning, I start to prepare breakfast for everyone. My sister go outside and scream and call for everyone to hurry come look at the street. So everyone rush outside to her and oh my god the whole street is under water and it is coming into our place. We are all scared, my friend and I decide that it is starting to get very dangerous so we must prepare to leave the house if necessary, if the water keep coming. We start to put all the furniture on to tables and anything that is up high. The rain is still very hard and never look like it is going to stop. By 9am the water is only one cm from coming into our home. Then the water start to go down, our neighbours say, that is because the tide is going out. My friend and I decide to go to barangay hall to find out what is happening and to get information. When we start to walk into the street the water come up to my waist and there is some much rubbish. We wade threw the water in the street until we get to barangay hall. We walk maybe 400 mtrs and all the way the water was up to our waist or a little higher. At the barangay hall the police are there and I ask what is happening and he say that people are leaving the area because the water is expected to go higher tonight when it is high tide again. I ask him will there be anyone to help us later if we need help and he say he don't know. It look to me that no one knows what to do. There is no plan to help the people, they are just advising people to leave if they can. We go home again and my friends and sister have already put the furniture that they can lift up high. At 9.30am they cut the water and at 11am the electricity is cut. We all just sit in the house and have a little prayer session and pray that the water not get any higher. My friend whose house it is has her sister and baby staying with us. We are all scared for the baby because when it is dark there will be no lights and if we have to leave in the middle of the night in a hurry it would be very dangerous for baby. Because we will not be able to see in the dark and maybe the water is very deep and very strong flowing. I say to my friend much better we leave now, while it is still daylight because it is to dangerous for the baby. My friend agree so we all gather some small things like toiletries and some spare clothes and we leave our home about 5pm. That night we stay in a hotel, there are 5 of us in the one room plus baby but we have no choice. The only thing what matters is that we are all safe, material things can be replaced but people cannot. Until next time God Bless and take care!

Rain Rain & More Rain


We are back home from our photo shoot and find out that that it has been raining all the time we where away working. There is so much water everywhere and the rain is still coming. We all are worried because the water is just under the bridge, so we are scared  that maybe soon the bridge will be under water and we will be trapped in our house. My sister Tera want to meet some of her friends for lunch and I tell her no because of the rain and on the TV they say that many people are being evacuated because of flooding and I worry that maybe she not be able to come home. Since we live here in this house with my friend this is first time I see so much rain and water everywhere. Tonight I go to bed a little scared. Until next time God Bless and take care!

What A Girl Loves To DO



We slept in today and my sister, myself and our friend go to the mall about 10am. We do some shopping and have lunch at KFC. About 1pm we go to Dau to travel home. I am so tired and looking forward to being home. We all have fun with the photo shoot but I am always excited to go home. From the time we get in the van at Dau, it starts raining so hard and it is raining very hard all the way home. On the drive home we see a car accident on the road. I hoped and prayed that everyone was ok. When we get home, I decided to have a sleep because I have to work tonight doing my weekly web cam show. I wake up at 7pm to prepare for my show and after my show I decided to go to bed early. Until next time God Bless and take care!

Day 3

http://www.teralee.com

Once again we wake at 7am and start preparing after a simple breakfast of a cup of noodles. I think I am going to start looking like a noodle soon. hehehe It is raining today and today we had planned to shoot at Dollhouse pool area. But the rain looks like it has spoilt our plans. We do four photo shoots at our friends house when the rain stops so the photographer decides to risk going to Dollhouse to finish the shoot even though it still looks like it could rain again any moment. Us girls are excited because Dollhouse charges 500 pesos per person to use the pool but it consumable which means we get to eat and drink whatever we want. No Jollybee today. hehehe But when it was time to break for lunch we where all disappointed with the quality of food at Dollhouse. It was very poor quality and the servings where very small. The rain held off until we where finished which was good. We finished at 4pm and everyone decided to celebrate the end of the photo shoot by going barhopping. The bars we went too was Roadhouse, La Bamba and then we go to Mirrors night club in Clarketon Hotel. I enjoy Mirrors because they have small show with the girls wearing different costumes. About 11pm everyone decide to go home and we go back to our friends house where we where staying. Until next time God Bless and take care!

Macy First Shoot

http://www.keiralee.com

We wake up about 7am to start to prepare for the long day photo shooting. I only had 3 girlfriend shoots to do, so my day or so I thought was going to be easy but it did not turn out that way. Because I had to also help with the makeup and also to help my friend who had never posed in front of a camera professionally before. So I had to show her how to pose. Both myself and Tera did 3 girlfriend shoots each with our friend, then after that my friend and Tera had to do solo shoots while I helped with make up and also with posing. For lunch we have Jollybee and about 6.30pm we finish shooting for the day. We where all so tired. But everyone involved in the shoot decided to go barhopping but only for a couple of hours. We went to Perimeter road bars Fire and Ice, Foxy and sunshine.Perimeter road bars at not as big as fields avenue but they are much cheaper to drink at. After Sunshine we all decided to go home because us girls where so tired. About 10.30pm we climb into bed. I sleep in same bed as my sister and our friend sleep on mattress on the floor beside us. Until next time God Bless and take care!

Tera Birthday


Today is my sister Tera's birthday, we celebrated it by going swimming with our friend April and her little daughter. That is why April make a surprise visit to us, two days ago because April wanted her and baby girl to be here for Tera's birthday. We had so much fun swimming and that night we all went out for dinner to a small Filipino restaurant. We had chicken adobo with rice and also spaghetti. I buy Tera a nice birthday cake but we did not have any candles but we still sing  Happy birthday to my sister. Baby girl had so much fun she was always smiling and her little face was covered in chocolate cake. We all only had soft drink to celebrate because we did not want to drink any beer because tomorrow myself and Tera and another friend had to travel for a photo shoot and April and Baby girl have to travel home. So everyone had to be up early tomorrow. Until next time God Bless and take care!
