Grabe, buti na lang hindi dumaan dito yung Quedan talaga.

Tnx to Quedan, i had a good reason to be late at work on the next day

Hahah I love it there. The train services give you "excuse slips" if you're late because of the trains.

Thirty-five minutes behind? And that's for the fast ones?

Excuse slips. Kewl!

Local is basically a train that stops on every single station in that track.

The Rapid line is one that skips certain stations. Say, every 3rd station, or something like that.

But the traveling speeds of the trains are relatively the same. So kung malayo pupuntahan mo, sakyan mo yung lines na mas maraming stations skipped para mas konti yung stop-and-go. Problema lang not as often dumaan yung ganitong lines. Yung mga local, very often dumaan pero yun nga, matagal kung malayo. But everything is scheduled really well, so you can really schedule your trip around the train rides.

May usapan yata yung mga kumag ah...
Ondoy: 'Mga tol, kayo na bahala ha. Nadale ko nga yung mga taga-RR sa south at north. Punta pa ako Vietnam.'
Pepeng: 'Sige. Bili lang muna ako ng bibingka sa Vigan. Masarap daw eh. Tignan ko na rin kung andun si Fox.'
Quedan: 'Tagasaan ba yung Cabs?'
Pepeng: 'Nasa Japan daw yata.'
Quedan: 'Along the way naman pala eh...'

Just got back home, and saw my car for the first time since we left the house last September 27. It's about to grow mushrooms on the steering wheel. Hahaha!

Whoa, now that's something to file away for the future. Thanks for the info!

Ahaha! Pica ha!

@Grim -- Profit shrooms?

Malakas daw ulan mamaya. Let's be safe, everyone. Try to be home early so we can be prepared for whatever.

Although the rain does wax and wane at times, it's pretty persistent, almost like Ondoy was. Hope this doesn't turn out as destructive.

Dito sa amin, malakas lang ang hangin. Tinulugan ko lang kasi yung mismong ulan nya last night.
When I woke up this morning, mama's halfway through finishing scooping out the floodwater. Half lang compared to Ondoy's.

Santi has strong winds with little rain right now.

I think it's done now (posting at 9am).

Humina na nga yung hangin ngayon.
