Running on Reserve Power

Remember the series called 24? Almost every hour yesterday was exciting and weird enough to merit an entire TV episode.

12mn
 I was lining up for tickets for UAAP Game 2. I was crazy enough to camp out the yellow gate ticket booth with two other 2nd year Ateneans. I only met them that night.

1am
Another Atenean joined us who brought a guitar. Imagine sober people singing in a non-sober way.

2am
Six more people lined up, most of them are drivers and yayas of other Ateneans. Now I'm reduced to such low level. I started out an arrival sign-up sheet for documentation purposes.

3am
Araneta Center closes down, most of the lights were turned off. Weird people started to pass by. An old gay man in a tight shirt smiled at me. Eww!! A trannie was making her rounds. Tambay na lasing people joined in the fun. 

4am
Sign-up sheet was already on its 5th page. Cutie guys started to arrive.

5am
Hard rain and gale force winds started to shower us. Just heard from the radio that its already signal number three in the metro.

6am
Free breakfast from Tita Emy, a lady we reserved a slot at 2am. The perks of having the power of the sign-up sheet.

7am
Games today are cancelled, according to Tita Emy. 

8am
No tickets today! Worthless.

9am 
I went home as the typhoon started to emerge. Trees swayed with the wind.

10am
Dozed after arriving at home. Power loss.

11am
Typhoon gets stronger. A tree branch fell down the backyard.

12nn
Transferred the heavy gas range and oven inside the house plus the LPG tank. We can't cook outside anymore.

1pm
Rain still spurts through the locked windows.

2pm 
Gutter-high flooding in the streets.

3pm
Heard from the radio that a person parking his car in Makati was trampled to death by a giant billboard.

4pm
Took pictures of uprooted trees outside the house.

5pm
Dozed off again.

6pm
Played Super Mario 64 again and again.

7pm
Ate dinner beside the stove.

8pm
Went outside the house. The street was soo dark that the sky is much brighter.

9pm
Cellular phone battery's dead. Can't text anyone right now.

10pm
Rechargable lamp flickers and slowly dims to black.

11pm
Snuggled with my *ahem* 

12mn
Sleep.

How was your day?
