SELaplana >> Society, TV-Series >> Typhoon Frank at My Wedding

It was Thursday (late) afternoon, June 19, 2008, when I started to feel the presence of Typhoon Frank in Hinunangan, Southern Leyte. At that time, I was still waiting for my loveones to arrive. They would attend my wedding that would be held on the next day, June 20, 2008. I was very much worried, thinking that all of them including my cousin who drove the Toyota Innova were all first timer visitors of the town of Hinunangan.

At 5:00 PM, they finally arrived and I brought them immediately to the Pension house of the Sts. Peter and Paul Multi-purpose cooperative in Bangkas, Hinunangan, Southern Leyte, where I rented a dorm-type (13 person) room for only PhP1,300.

Typhoon Frank was coming. In Surigao and Samar, the signal was already raised to #1, and I know that we would experience its presence even during the time of my wedding. It really worried me. Typhoon Frank was really a threat to my wedding but I know it couldn’t stopped us from coming to the Iglesia Ni Cristo house of worship in Panalaron, Hinunangan, Southern Leyte to received the blessing of God as the new husband and wife.

The next day, the signal was raised to #2 and that was our wedding day. Worries were there behind my mind, but my faith in God strengthen me and told me that even if Typhoon Frank will disturbed us with its strong winds and rain, the wedding will still go on. And that what really happened.

Wedding Reception

Now, I know why our plans to held the wedding reception at the Las Vegas Resort Hotel was canceled, and we finally held it in the Training Center of the St. Peter and St. Paul Muli-purpose cooperative which is located at the second floor of the Pension House. Some considered it a coincidence, but I considered it as God’s will.

You know, the wedding reception would just be turned to mess if it was held at the dining hall of Las Vegas Resort Hotel which is overlooking at the shore of the Hinunangan Bay. The hall is open and Typhoon Frank could easily broke in the reception.

Typhoon Frank at my Apartment

This post should have been posted earlier, but the province of Southern Leyte experience power black-out because lots of SOLECO’s power posts and lines were destroyed by the typhoon Frank. And not only that, this typhoon soak all my things inside my apartment unit in Maasin City. Got no choice but to use my time in saving all my things including my desktop computer.
