00:39 Power went out at 11pm. Have been watching typhoon roll in. Gusty winds gave way to rains; trees under stress. #
00:41 Neighbors to our back have genset on. I'll wait another hour; no one is going to open the fridges and freezer when they're all asleep. :) #
00:43 Storm-watching is quite cathartic when you're set up for it and house, family secure. Hope this moves out fast, though. Slow moving storm... #
00:53 Apparently typhoon downgraded to tropical storm. Now all it needs to do is get outta here before it dumps more rain. #
05:48 Typhoon has left my area. Power still out, now running on genset. Major cleanup ahead, debris everywhere. #
05:50 Landline appears to be down. Probably cable utilities down as well. Sending tweets via cell phone. #
05:55 If cable internet down, will experiment with wireless dongle...but first, a shower. #
08:00 Done with breakfast. Cleanup proceeds at a fair rate. Now relaxing with fresh coffee, then will think of what to do next. #
11:22 It's not just us, looks like PLDT landine service is down for my area of Makati (Dasma). #
11:23 At the new SaveMore now. Quick grocery stop, then gas station to reload jerricans. #
11:55 Groceries done. A quick stop at Andok's before the gas station. Sun is out! #
14:41 well. the power may be back for now, but the really burning question apparently is...for how long? #
14:42 RT @cesdrilon: some power outages may take 2 to 3 days to restore says meralco : bit.ly/c2ro1f (oh, lawd have mercy) #
14:43 RT @tonyocruz: No to the 80 percent postal fee increase! 3.ly/386z (say WHAT?) #

14:56 sun was hot this lunchtime. was thinking that if someone ever invented solar airconditioning, likely people would be all over it. #
16:01 there were no traffic lights in Makati while I was out. traffic moving in a very orderly fashion despite that. hm! #
16:09 leaving twitterverse to catch up with feeds. too many tabs open. back later! #
00:03 well! that book i misplaced? it turned up. found it sticking out from under the bed, full of teeny kitten teething evidence. #
00:04 but under the bed was where i first checked when the book went missing. *cue Twilight Zone* now maybe if my glasses show up...? #
