Found this clip while randomly looking at the typhoon footage and it reminded me of when I was little. I lived on Piy Margall, a street that runs straight into UST, and this part of Manila floods easy. Our block had raised sidewalks... that the floods still reached the top of. I was four when I moved to America, so every flood looked epic to me when I lived in Sampaloc - my feet wouldn't even have reached the ground if I ever dared to wade through the water, wee little thing that I was. Now, I'm twenty-two, and know the scope of the (unprecedented) damage that this typhoon has caused - and it is truly epic.
But the best thing about this clip is at the end; now I know that it isn't proper to make light of the storm, but the ending is priceless. The water is waist-deep, the damage catastrophic, and the storm victims... begin singing "Nobody."
Gotta love the indomitable Filipino spirit.
This couldn't have come at a better time, because the song has been on infinite loop in my head for the entire month of October thus far.
