Yesterday the sky was pink. I barely saw it from Old San Juan but everyone was talking about it. It was all over Facebook and all the social media. That’s the contaminaion from all the cars and generators that are currently running. The sky was pink due to all the fuel. It was beautiful but … Continue reading Day Seventeen: Rain

Day Sixteen: ‘There Is Life Outside Your Apartment’
You know, that's fine and dandy but the life outside my apartment also sucks because we're trying to survive here. Power Grid keeps collapsing. It's not being able to last 24hrs at 16% without it giving out. As far as I heard a relief worker discussing, the grid hasn't been repaired and it'll take a … Continue reading Day Sixteen: ‘There Is Life Outside Your Apartment’
Day Fifteen: What Even?
The nine percent or so that had power up until recently? A lot of them lost it. So it's back to square one for a lot of those people. Some have gotten power for a few hours. Others, like me, are waiting for anything. An update, a sign of life, anything that will bring in some … Continue reading Day Fifteen: What Even?
Day Fourteen: Shorter Days, Longer Nights
Still no power. Water keeps coming and going. It is terrible. My reception at home is down worse than before. I have to stick my hands out in the balcony to get anything. I've been spending my days out. I've gained a few shades of color. Last time I was this shade it was 2007 … Continue reading Day Fourteen: Shorter Days, Longer Nights
Day Thirteen: The Visit
The president didn't even last a day here. Last I heard he was leaving. He blames PR for ruining the budget for the year. Well, I mean...it's not like we planned for this. I mean, if we could plan hurricanes, we would totally know better than to ruin your precious budget. I can't find water … Continue reading Day Thirteen: The Visit
Day Twelve: Four Days Later
It's currently Saturday(when I started writing this) and I'm stuck waiting for a cab driver to give me a ride back to my aunt's. I opted to go home because I thought it would make me feel better. It didn't. I found out yesterday that I was on CNN on top of ABC News(which I … Continue reading Day Twelve: Four Days Later
Day Eleven: Maria, Maria~
So Hurricane Maria is almost here. It's expected to start affecting the island as early as 8pm tonight. Now the problem is how badly it's going to hit us. It's already devastated Dominique and it's projected that we could be without power in various parts of the island for at least a month. This is … Continue reading Day Eleven: Maria, Maria~
Day Nine: Tick Tock
Tomorrow's the day and Irma is a category 5 hurricane. We're all losing our minds here because she keeps moving and shifting. Now she's 36 nautical miles from the capital. Destiny 2 comes out at midnight and I'm eager to play. My anxiety over Irma though is totally overpowering everything. Like right now, I can't … Continue reading Day Nine: Tick Tock
Day Eight: 48 Hrs Remain
Irma is drawing closer and closer. People today are freaking out(like I mentioned a few posts back) and they're going crazy buying water and all the stuff. I grabbed a hold of some items yesterday and I think I'll be fine...for the most part. I'm worried about how things are gonna go. Tomorrow at midnight … Continue reading Day Eight: 48 Hrs Remain
Day Six: Hurricane Woes
The last Hurricane I ever recall ever being affected by was in the 90's. In the 2000's I remember a bunch of storms but a serious, hardcore hurricane? Pfft, heck if I remember. Now with Irma looking like a damn monster, it puts things into a bit of a perspective but also it dawns on … Continue reading Day Six: Hurricane Woes
