There is no update about our career path issue. I kind of figured out while I was steaming in boredom some moments ago what needs to be done and I should bring this up in my next 1:1 session with my boss. I really need to do something about this or next thing I know, I'll be submitting my resignation letter.

My relief goodies. Mary Kay face powder, Mary Kay foot stuff, purple wall clock and pampering gift cert from Gloss.
Liana gave me this Mary Kay foot stuff set since I've been complaining
how tired my feet were during the whole ordeal.
She also gave me this Mary Kay compact powder...
...and this purple wall clock.
And these sweet and caring people gave me the Gloss gift cert.
Gloss - foot therapy or body massage. I haven't decided which one to get.

Our company also extended support to Ondoy victims. I received 300 dollars (for my "damage category"), along with the early 13th month bonus. Those who had displaced homes received 500 dollars. It may not be enough to fix all the damage but it was a very kind gesture considering that the company did not choose the place where its employees should live.
There is also a provision center in the office. They have mattresses, clothes, grocery items and cleaning stuff for affected employees. I went there this morning and found that there is still a pantry-full of noodles and canned goods, but I did not get any. Not that I don't like them, but because there might be other employees who need the items more. Or if all employees already have what they need, maybe the company will give it to other victims.

It's just a little sad that some people here are taking advantage of the free grocery items. When the boss said that employees can get for their personal consumption, he meant it for those who were directly affected. Really, how much is a pack of noodles? Can't you buy for yourself? Oh well.
Anyway, I would like to thank everyone who, in one way or another, helped others in need. Thank you, Beng, Liana, Nikki, Isaac, Neil, Dianne, and Mark. And thank you, Trend Micro, for the assistance. It will really go a long way.

thankful
Inside our house was almost up to my chest, but we're still a little lucky since we were able to save our appliances. We just let our sofa float and our dining table sink in the chocolatey flood.
We're thankful we bought leather sala set. They're fully covered so they just floated.
I just had to wash the mud and they're back to normal.
Here's our dining table. It's there, somewhere there.
The sink and kitchen. I think this was taken a few hours after the flood started to subside.
The view outside from our second floor. That barangay hall is elevated by about 1.5 meters.
All the motorcycles got drowned. The flood on the street was about 6 feet.
Here you can see the evacuees in the barangay hall.
All other evacuees came in the morning and they all looked like they soaked in the mud.

I just cried when we were already in our room, after saving all our things. The barangay workers who helped us lift our ref and washing machine said that it was already the Marikina river. How far can the river overflow? As far as it can, right? I was so worried it will reach our second floor so I was ready to pack all our papers and documents and leave the house to go to the nearby school which has a third level. Good thing the rain stopped and the water started to subside.
The next morning and days were spent cleaning and putting things back in place. It was sooo tiring. As in tiring. We'd wake up, eat breakfast, change to working clothes and then we'll spend the whole day cleaning. We almost never ate lunch. I swear it was the most tiring week of my life so far.
And just when everything was back to normal, typhoon Pepeng came to the picture. I was able to go to work on Thursday after the flood but had to work from home on Friday because of typhoon Pepeng. It rained hard in the afternoon and I saw our street being flooded so again we took most of our things upstairs. And until now, our house is still in chaos. I hope to clean it this weekend.
