Classes in all levels have been cancelled today because of Typhoon Reming. I was expecting some heavy rains when I woke up this afternoon, similar to what happened when Milenyo hit last September. While the sky was dark and the temperature relatively low, there wasn’t any drop of rain until this evening.

But that’s not the point of this entry.

On the way to the post office this afternoon, I passed by SM North to withdraw from the ATM since the two banks close to where I live were both offline. To my surprise, it was packed! There were long lines of cars at the carpark entrance, even longer lines at the ATMs. Some are already on their way home, while others are just arriving. Some were stocking up their pantries as evident by the number of supermarket bags, while some are doing some serious shopping.

Yup, when there’s a typhoon, your best refuge is the mall.
