When the Skies Opened

The skies opened up it's fury last night for more than 1 hour. It did not happen just once, but twice. With strong winds, thunder, and lightning, it was the perfect setting to sleep all night long. Never mind the soap operas, reality shows, tv series, movies they'll miss. As long as they know their dry, safe, well rested, they're fine. But that didn't happen to me.

I was persistent on having a good time with friends last night, looking for a way to unwind. We agreed to meet early so that we can leave early. However, rain poured heavily along the way. It was still pouring hard when our group was finally complete. By the time we got to Tomas Morato, we were hungry because of the heavy traffic due to flooded streets. Made me worried how Dapitan was then. We got on our ways separately between 10-11 pm. Unfortunately, it started raining again. The traffic was horrible. The streets were flooded. Light cars can not pass, including taxis. Left with no choice, I walked through the flooded waters (yikes! ewww!). Many commuters were doing the same thing so I thought "might as well go with the flow". After 30 minutes, I was at the dorm room, drying up, washing my legs heavily with alcohol, praying that I didn't had any open wounds (or else, I get leptospirosis). Somehow, I regret what I did & the consequences it did - slept late, spent a lot of money, broke a nice sandal (sorry mom!), and lied.

Tsk tsk..
