...one's tears are never explained.

"Rain, rain, go away" --



It was raining so hard yesterday!  We got stranded in Katipunan for 4 hours!



I felt bad for my EN10 class because I dismissed them at 4:10 and, by then, 

the streets were already flooded.  I couldn't even get across to National Bookstore.



I sought refuge in my brother's office -- but my shoes had suffered by then.  ~sigh~



My bro and I decide to trek out again at around 5.  OMG, you should have seen the 

people!  Everyone was walking -- it looked like a scene from The Day After Tomorrow.  

We checked Gate 2 to see if it was passable (and it wasn't), so we walked to Gate 3 

and was able to cross over from there.



We knew we were going to stay stuck in the area for quite some time, so we decided to 

get a pizza and have dinner while waiting for the flood to dissipate.



D of Octopus was nice enough to give me a pair of slippers from his store and he 

joined us for dinner.  Our friend M called and asked to seek refuge in the store -- 

he had been on the road since 4 that day (and, when he called, it was already 7!)



We finally decided to bite the bullet and try to go home at 8.  (It was the right 

decision -- the route we chose was relatively clear and we were able to get home in 

40 minutes)



I was sooo tired last night!



(I wanted to blog about this last night but I was so tired na!)
