raining cats, dogs, elephants

sorry, just wanna let this out.

when it rains, it's impossible to get a cab. everybody would kill for a ride. days like this make me pray for a car (i don't care anymore if it's not 1 that's eco-friendly). i'm tired of having to take long, unromantic marches along grimy streets—soaking wet and in the wrong pair of shoes for walking.

to get home this morning, i walked and took a really packed jeepney and paired more walking with a tricycle ride (i bribed the driver to take me up the hills where i live).



my shoes, of all things, were the 1s in the saddest state. scratched and soggy and all. more than i feel sorry for myself, i feel sorry for them (lol! i'm a girl!). they're my favorite pair but they're ironically as battered and neglected as its owner.

aaaaa!!! issues. if my father wasn't so crazy about his useless car (he's always away anyway, leaving his ride to gather dust in the garage), i could've used it to get me home today, at least! but his vehicle is more precious than anything and any1 combined and multiplied so deal with it, ace.

and the rain. i know now that the rain isn't my friend after all. like many people i know, it's not going to be there for me in difficult times (i don't understand why i'm always alone but am not yet used to it)... all these sad thoughts that always come with the repeating experience of being rained on is not bringing out the best in me, as you can see.

acey, i remember my commuting days as a new employee when i was fresh out of college. i hated it so much that i saved all my salary for an old toyota (as in 10 years old at that time). two years after, i got a newer honda. then another two years after, i got a mercedes benz. that was how obsessed i became with cars.

i have a feeling you will get a car sooner than you think. it's rainy, dirty, trauatic commuting days like that which can really inspire you to buy a ride with your own money, sooner than everyone else.

oh dear! Those shoes don't look terribly practical. At least they don't seem to pinch your toes.

I don't like the rain much either. I much prefer snow. It's great to walk in and you don't get wet (well, at least not if it is cold enough).

Take care.
