Our house was badly hit by Ondoy. We were the first row of houses in the subdivision that faced the Marikina River. The flood submerged the whole first level of our home. It left us with mud about a foot deep. The water pressure has been very poor so the clean-up is taking a long time. After all, almost half of the inhabitants of the subdivision are cleaning up their homes. We're hoping that we'll finish everything today.
In the past few days, I bid goodbye to my cake boxes, some family pictures, appliances such as toasters, panini maker, coffee makers, flat irons (most of which are wedding gifts), my convection oven. I'm making arrangements to have the furniture re-upholstered. The unusued pillows would have to go. I am not sure if we can salvage the comforters, curtains and other heavy fabrics.
At present, I am scrambling to get a party venue for Javi's 1st birthday. His celebration was supposed to be held in our home, together with the house blessing for the improvements. But, the repairs wont be finished in a month's time. I am crossing my fingers.
