I feel awful and nauseous as I wait for the news about the flooding in Manila. I searched the net for several hours last night just to see the photos and any news about the flooding.

I had trouble contacting my parents who live in Bicol region, been trying to reach then via mobile phone but for some reason I can’t just reach them but I feel quite relieved though that Bicol has not been flooded. I am still very concerned though because my brother and some close relatives are all in Manila and I haven’t been able to contact them.
It’s unbearable for me to watch the videos and the photos but I can’t help but keep looking. This is definitely the worst flood in Metro Manila for as long as I can remember. I lived there for several years and though we experienced heavy rains at times but never had flooding to this extent.
Take a look at this slideshow submitted by jpdperez @ CNN’s iReport.
