Pinoy Yuppie Life: Makati Floods, Cancelled Classes

I was carpooling with my officemates going to our MBA class at DLSU-RVR at RCBC Makati. We left our office at Cavite at around 4pm for our 6pm class. Contrary to our expectations there were no traffic in Aguinaldo Highway, Coastal Road or even Macapagal Blvd. Our compact sedan breezed through traffic until we reach Beundia cor. Roxas Blvd.

5:15pm we were at Buendia, but now it's Traffic! Bully bus drivers were turning right from Roxas to Buendia were causing a bottleneck in the tiny intersection. Cars and buses were literally bumper to bumper. After several minutes in the intersection we were able to pass without a scratch, Whew! When we passed Taft Ave, we made a slight detour in De La Rosa St. to avoid the buildup in Buendia, but after two streets, we made a left turn again to return to Buendia. Lo and behold, the great flood! Well, not really THE GREAT FLOOD, but it was enough to slow down the traffic. We could hear the flood waters swooshing underneath the car. We spent atleast 45mins in that stretch of road alone, about 200m worth of flood water infested streets of Makati!

We finally made it to RCBC! Wohoo! First day of classes! Then, when we proceeded to our room, lights out. Nobody there. Class Cancelled! :( :( :( - Pinoy Yuppy not happy!
