Here are some lessons learned after Typhoon Fengshen (frank)
Sugar ants can predict typhoons – the recent invasion completely disappeared the morning before the typhoon hit Boracay. They came back at the end of the last rain and are back in force.
There is a guy claiming to be a former NASA engineer working as night-shift manager at a 24-hour bar in D’Mall….uh huh
Drunkenly walking thru a typhoon is easier than reporters make it look…either that or they’re drunk themselves.
NEVER take that large ‘emergency’ frozen bottle of water out of the freezer for longer than is necessary, it might make a difference between a little trash and a lot of rotten food.
Drunk Canadians with an accent like a drunk east Texan redneck should not be allowed in bars less than a kilometer from me.
Andoks is capable of closing; who would have thought.
Andoks does not need refrigeration: you will feel just as miserable the next morning regardless of refrigerator or not.
Solitaire by candle light sucks. It truly sucks. You cannot imagine how bad it wholly sucks.
Casual sex becomes “do you have a generator?”
Tokay geckos don’t care if you just cleaned the house from top-to-bottom, they will crap huge nuggets whenever they please.
The ability to offer a clean-water shower can be traded for earthly sins.
Cocomangas never stops partying…ever.
The Baboy store will sell you tanduay in the middle of a typhoon…but only if he has a bottle left for himself.
Do not order any dishes with meat from a place that only uses generators at night time.
I can withstand being hit in the head, neck, and shoulders by flying coconuts. This is not bragging, but its still pretty damn interesting. Ok, yea its bragging.
The center of D’Mall is impervious to typhoon winds…possibly connected to the Bermuda Triangle
I am not the only person on this island that apologizes after pissing off people the night before.
The staff of Red Pirates are a dedicated bunch that let nothing stop the booze from flowing; even if that includes one of them standing on the thatch/nippa roof in sandblasting wind and rain to repair a few minor leaks.
Bags of trash are capable of levitating 40 meters and into other peoples houses.
It is possible to out-party people who have lived a party life for the last 5 years.
My neighbors do not need a 2-man-lift generator for basic sanitation, lights, fan, hotwater, cooking….no, they need it for a karaoke machine.
Having a spare and fully charged battery for the cell phone only matters when….when…. hell, it didnt matter. The service was out.
Sand can, and will, inform you of new body cracks it has found.
Rubbing alcohol is not a good way to clean the tabletop whilst using candles.
