we all take differents paths in life,
but no matter where we go,
we always take a little of each other everywhere....

yesterday, I came to school as if I just came out of the shower. and yes, I unintentionally sported the wet look. also, yesterday was the first time I ever grossly went through the flood.
am i ecstatic about it? definitely not!!
a couple of weeks ago I was just writing about flood anecdotes in the campus, totally clueless of what it really was like to brave the flood and yesterday I was able to get my first-hand experience.
It had been pouring heavily since i boarded the fx and since I am very responsible, i did not bother bring an umbrella. well, i actually i NEVER bring with me an umbrella because it's bulky and the umbrella don't usually make it home. ;p so i just wished that when i get halfway to my destination, the rain would stop or at least reduce into a drizzle.
unfortunately, no one heard my plea. it rained even harder and the minute i opened my eyes (i fell asleep okay, because it was cold and cold weather always doze me off) water level had already risen ankle-high! panic mode went on!
By some sort of instinct, my sister gave me a roll of bathroom tissue before i left home because she said my feet would get wet and I'd find bathroom tissue more useful than facial tissue. could it be that she has foreseen my venture into the flood?
and so i reached our aquatic university and as expected a pool of floodwater has accumulated already. the driver, out of sympathy, found me a spot where the water was shallow. but to no avail, the whole stretch of espana is a river. there was no time to make "inarte," i took off my foot socks and dipped my pretty heeled shoes into the flood. i swear i could have screamed that moment but all i could say was a hopeless "kadiriii..." i wonder how kids could frolic or wade in that kind of water. take note, with floating junkfood wrappers and all.
the flood sinked into my shoes, and the damp feeling made it worse having in mind what forms of matter are mixed in with the water. anyway, i also had to make do with a hooded sweater-jacket since i don't have an umbrella. i was literally dripping wet!
upon reaching our faculty building, i wen straight to the ladies' room to fix myself. i took off my shoes and yes gray water came out of it. i bandaged both my legs with tissues while i stuff my shoes with more tissue to dry it up. my uniform was drenched too but that was not my concern. i got contented with washing my feet with fresh water (as the absc says) and rushed to Rizal hall to make it to that literary seminar.
my classmates and varsi-mates were so kind to pun on my state pa. (yak conyo haha) anyway, i was damp the whole seminar and chilling. okay enough with my sotry, i want to thank those who lent me their jackets.hehe. :p
p.s. oh and by the way, my jacket did not dry up even after i made it home. so now you can picture how drenched it was.
think happy thoughts!

"it doesn't hurt to be optimistic, you can always cry later" - nope, not my principle..

“Mangarap ka at abutin mo ito. Huwag mo sisihin ang sira mong pamilya,
palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa iyo ang
magulang mo, pwede kang manisi at magrebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, magdrugs ka, magpakulay
ng buhok sa kili-kili. Sa bandang huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at
bait sa sarili. Kaya … enjoy life. Learn how to play the game.” — Bob Ong from Stainless
