How Typhoon Pedring Hits Ortigas Area

Furious Typhoon Pedring


This is actually a view from the 25th floor of Robinson's Equitable Tower. It was 6:30 am and while all of my teammates have gone home... here I am stuck at the sleeping lounge waiting for hubby to pick me up. I was supposed to go home alone that morning because Jaja, my travel companion will not go to her boyfriend's house in Cubao and instead will be going home to their house in Libis. I am ready to face typhoon Pedring and go home by hook or by crook but I didn't expect that the wind is roaring and there is not much people walking along the Robinsons Galleria aisle because of the strong wind. I tried battling against this typhoon and tried walking against the wind twice but it's too strong for me. So I texted my hubby and asked him to fetch me here at the office. In as much as I wanted to go home early, I was left with no choice because I'm afraid a part of a roof or any hard object might hit me while walking against these terrible wind. Since I would be stuck here in the office for the next one hour, I decided to subscribe to the Globe's UALLPLUS25 promo wherein you could have unlimited texts for all network providers and free one hour consumable net surfing through phone. It was the first time I'll gonna surf the internet through my phone using Globe's minutes and I was so happy I tried. Read several blogs and lost track of time. Before I knew it, I already received a text message from hubby that he is waiting for almost 15 minutes now downstairs and is already waiting for me. Before I left, I took a picture of how typhoon Pedring hit Ortigas area through the lounge's window...it was horrifying. Hopefully, those people affected would be able to survive this another Philippine calamity.
