Disaster preparedness

July 15, 2014


Today was the supposed landfall of the typhoon "Glenda" which is said to be stronger than the 2006 typhoon "Milenyo". The typhoon Milenyo was really strong, it was more on wind than rain actually. I was at 5th grade and I think we got suspended for a week. There was this huge billboard (Mane n' tail shampoo, haha!) near our store and then my brother was able to catch a glimpse of it slowly falling to the ground. 

I've already charged my laptop and my cellphone in preparation of a black out. There are two things I hate about black outs; the heat, and showering in the dark. I mean, we do have candles and flashlights to illuminate the bathroom while we shower, but I don't know, it just feels different, like someone is just gonna pull the curtains and kill you (that's how I feel). 

Whenever there would be a black out, I would always imagine myself being in a zombie apocalypse. Now what would you do during a zombie apocalypse? I'd prepare my flashlight, first-aid kit, and a weapon. I have an old trusty flashlight that has a spotlight, a florescent light, and a flash(light?), a standard first aid kit, and a long (but light) piece of wood for a weapon (we own a construction supply store so, yeah). I mean you never know when it'll happen right? Not necessarily a zombie apocalypse but remember what happened in tacloban during the typhoon "Yolanda"? Looters are just like zombies. Wouldn't want to take that chance. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid.
