~TsuNami sa UsTe~

I love RAIN... not only because it reduces the amount of mercury in the thermometer but also playing under it is absolutely a great fun... but earlier, I almost cursed the sky for dropping that vast rainfall in Manila...

Coming from an official business in Supreme Court, Manila, I and Kajo were on board of an FX when we were caught by a heavy rain... that was about 1:15 p.m... 1:30 p.m. nasa España na kami.... guess what??.... the road was no longer passable due to flood... whoa! in 15 minutes time ganun kabilis ang pagtaas ng water level dun???... geezz buti di ako nag-aral sa uste.... At first, I was thankful... Buti nsa FX kami... kahit matagalan kami makabalik ng office (expected ko na) ok lang masarap naman m2log kasi aircon... Asa lang pala ko.... the driver made a sudden turn to an alley along España to avoid the intensifying flood... gagarahe na pala c Manong di na naawa sa mga pasahero na bababa ng FX nya at maghahagilap ng mali2patan... T_T.... kasagsagan pa un ng ulan... lahat ng pasahero napa *&$!@#*! talaga.... kso wala e driver xa pasahero lang kami.... buti kahit panu may nasilungan naman.... sa isang tolda ng mga nagaalok ng condo unit rentals... "P10 lng para sa tolda" pabirong sabi ni Manong Real Estate Agent... pero natitiyak ko may laman un... wala pa cguro nautong customer sa inaalok nilang condo tsk tsk.... binigyan kami ng Flyers na tinanggap ko naman... usually tinatapon ko un dahil basura.... pakunswelo lang....

Minutes later, rain was sitll rampant... dumadami na kami sa tolda na sinisilungan namin dahil sa dami ng gumaraheng mga sasakyan.... poor commuters.... buti may dumaang jeep, sumakay kami... nkkhiya na dun sa may ari ng tolda.... "itatabi ko lang 2 pahupain ko muna ung baha," the jeepney driver said... labas ang ibang pasahero (nawalan agad ng pag-asa) but we opted 2 stay there for shelter purposes kesa mabasa.... wala man "palabra de honor" si Manong dahil hindi naman nya talaga hininto ung jeep nya, masaya kami.... He faced the approaching tsunami squarely.... buti matibay ang kanyang karburador... trapik man umaandar pa rin kaya di na tinuloy ni kajo ang knina p nyang balak na humagulhol.... She is not used to get stranded.... 4:00 p.m., at last nakabalik kami ng QC... 30 min. bago mag uwian whew.... buti maganda mood ng mga officemates ko at di nagusisa... di na rin nila nalaman ang mala-Ces Drilon namin karanasan pabalik...

LESSONS LEARNED:

• Both lanes of España are not passable after a 10 min. continuous heavy rains
• Drivers are not reliable in certain situations
• It's not really a good idea to have ur children enrolled in UST
• A Real Estate Agent's job sucks
