City Glimpse

From hereon, I will be posting pictures of Cagayan de Oro City - just a simple glimpse of what the city looks and feels like at the certain time of the day! This morning, I heard over the AM radio that a Tropical Depression was looming Northeast of Mindanao , particularly in Surigao del Norte area and its surrounding provinces. PAGASA dubbed the storm, Auring, the first declared tropical depression for the year 2009! Just as there was a long heavy rain yesterday and the night before, the city was astounded and perturbed by the rising water level of the Cagayan de Oro river that left hundreds of residents on Isla de Oro and nearby areas homeless. Good thing today, the rain went away. But the sun barely shone. Gusts of wind slightly trailed downtown. If you may notice the Philippine Flag on the photo - taken at the Udasco Residence along Tiano Brothers Street - , you could guess that she was wet from being drenched in rain last night and yesterday. But hey, she was waving like it was hot and windy! This made her wet and wild in the city! Haha!
