Irony About Rain and Flood 1

It is quite ironical ...  papasok ka ng trabaho sa umaga na spic and span: makintab ang sapatos, naka-tuck-in at naka blow dry ang buhok.

Pagkatapos uuwi ka completely drenched ... at basang basa. Hindi rin nakatulong ang payong at kapote ... dahil nagbreast stroke ka pa sa baha.

Irony About Rain and Flood 2

It is not ironic anymore ... the news ... is old news. So what else is new?

Despite the tropical depression and the heavy downpour, Angat Dam reaches a minimum water level according to PAGASA. Bumabaha na nga at lahat ... wala pa ring tubig? Anak ng tipaklong ... 

Irony About Rain and Flood 3

It is raining cats and dogs. Quite ironic to hear TV News reportage about Maynilad making every effort to provide its customers with continuous water service.

However, some external factors are present ... prompting them to issue some advisories ... some areas in Metro Manila will have water service interruption. 

I can't hold my punches anymore. There is just enough water supply in the sky and in the streets ... and our faucets have none?

Irony About Rain and Flood 4

Inquirer News: Manila Hotel catches fire... the blaze reaches third alarm.  No injuries or deaths have been reported so far. This news is so bizarre ... to put it mildly.

It just doesn't make sense. I am not surprised that the country's first-ever five-star hotel had this fire. I am more surprised that the sprawling property in the heart of Manila was almost burned to ashes during the rainy season. Just like water and oil ... fire and rain don't mix.
