Counting Potatoes

Countdown to Chaos

It's been raining non-stop for almost 4 days now and the weather station predicts than it will rain for about 4 days more. I've almost forgotten what it's like to see the sun and go through the day without hearing raindrops splattering on the pavement below. I've also heard that the water level of the river [which is just one house away from us] is almost at level with the discharge pipes. Streets are flooding, crops are drowning, the laundry is getting smelly and the roof, our roof, is on the verge of disintegrating. We've been running around here for the past two days or so doing water leak damage control as if we're in a fuckin' submarine or something.

"all hands to battlestations!! This is not a drill!!"

Worse of all, this is happening right smack in the middle of freakin summer! The weather stations are going bonkers trying to explain how in earth did 3 low pressure areas simultaneously develop over the country. They may not be saying it out loud, but I think the general mood is "Fuck It! Blame it on fuckin' global warming and let's go home!"

Well at least we don't have to worry about swine flu just yet. Or at least as far as we know. I wouldn't trust our government's ability to screen airport arrivals as far as I can throw myself. Hell, they can't even solve the traffic problem. So basically, we're just waiting for the axe to fall or the shit to hit the fan or whatever. And when it does, the numbers are against us surviving like Will Smith did in I am legend. More likely, we're going to be one of those ugly mutated pakershits who eat each other's toes for breakfast.

What exactly do we do in case this becomes a pandemic? O_o Do we:

A: Spend like crazy to stock up on food, medicine, cigs and other survival supplies and bar the doors? [as long as the internet connection keeps up, this isnt too far from any other day, he he, we're already hermits as it is]

B. Burn anyone who so much as sneezes or shows an elevated temperature?

Or

C. Head for the mountains along with sacks of canned goods and hope to God that Inday didnt forget to bring along the can opener?

Maybe the government will even contruct a Philippine Ark and decide who gets to go in through Pinoy Bingo Night..

Well at least, the Global economic recession will be a moot point by then, along with the issue of charter change, overpopulation, global pollution and the new plate number coding in Naga. He he
