“Reming” was supposed to have to hit Metro Manila between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. Friday, prompting officials to suspend classes this Thursday. [Inq7.net] [empasis mine]
Huh? I don’t see the logic there, really. Nothing quite disastrous happened in Metro Manila today. I wish they didn’t cancel classes. There are things that had to be done in school today. All I did was sleep all day.
Right now, I’m just enjoying the last few hours of running electricity before the typhoon’s strong winds pound Metro Manila and Southern Luzon. I really do hope casualties and other such tragedies and damages will be minimal. Stay safe, everyone. (Though, it’s useless saying these to you fellow privileged bourgeoisie urbanites who will simply take shelter and stay safe in the comforts of our homes anyway).
Our Documentary professor was absent for class yesterday. He’s out of the country performing production duties for a broadcasting network. He left us with individual video exercises with the PD-150 camera. I shot my exercise at the dressmaker’s shop at the Shopping Center (SC). I enjoyed it. Oh, and I was surprised with who I bumped into at SC. It was my grade school friend, Kenji, who’s now in Ateneo, working at one of the photocopy stalls. It’s apparently part of one of their Philosophy courses, probably in recognition of their ‘bourgeoisie-ness’ that there is a need for them to immerse and reach out to the ordinary obrero. Very Atenean, indeed.
Yesterday was another purple day. Con was also wearing purple. And it was a purple jeepney that we rode to the Shopping Center.

It always has to be about class delineations eh? Of course it won’t work for individuals who read your blog and wouldn’t be on the path of the typhoon.
Either way, I agree that suspension was useless. Up until the part when I found out that there were no electricity in parts of UP as early as this morning.
gwapo mo sa pic ha?! pang-model! astigin ka!
they should’ve not cancelled classes yesterday. ang dami ko kasing dapat tapusin. Dapat nga ngayon my practice kami for our dance presentation, kaso I told the corrdinator to cancel today’s rehearsal kasi nga may bagyo at apparently si Reming ay hindi ko nararamdaman… which is a goodthing para naman wala nang dagdag na problema.
I told you! Give me that PURPLE SHIRT!
Bikoy and Celeni, and if they didn’t cancel the classes, you would both be complaining why the heck they didn’t despite PAG-ASA’s recommendation. Oh, people. God bless you. Hehe. Joke lang ha.
(Celeni, hindi kita inaaway. Hihihi. In fact, regarding the TOFI issue, I’m with you. Digress. Hmmm.)
Hey ES. I guess I wasn’t clear. I did despise the cancellation initially, but when I found out there was no electricity in AS that morning (where I had two of my non-air conditioned classes), I felt relieved of the decision.
Celeni, yeah. got that. point is, whether it was an initial remark or not, you still wished the classes had not been suspended just because you couldn’t feel Reming’s rage. Anu beh? Basta ganun.
