RAIN # 1:

It rained yesterday while my cousin and I were in Divisoria. I was quite alarmed considering that the streets of Manila are notorious for flooding.

Its been a few years since I've visited the middle class shopper's paradise that is known as Divisoria. For some reason being in a place surrounded by different kinds of people while they are doing their own business gives me some sense of peace. It doesn't make that much sense considering that my senses are practically overloaded due to the sights, sounds and smells...market stalls on the left, street vendors on the right, smelly roads, calesas bringing chinoys from one point to another and different people everywhere. When I walk through a busy road it makes me feel that I'm watching a movie. Its like I'm involved but detached at the same time. I feel some kind of thrill being in the middle of this type of organized chaos. I also feel awfully centered.

I bought tons of stuff. Some are pretty much disposable. yung tipong you know wont last. although the clothes I bought I know will. I have clothes I bought from DV years ago which I still use.

RAIN #2:

I saw the weather report. The typhoon in the Visayas region is confirmed. I'm leaving fro bora tomorrow. FINALLY. I hope the typhoon moves fast enough so that by the time we settle in the resort it would be sunny enough to get a tan. The worst that can happen in a beach vacation is when it rains the whole time. Ugh! Please wag po.

You know what's weird? I'm no longer that excited. This morning I woke up and I'm like "oh yeah i'm leaving tomorrow". What the hell happened to me?!

RAIN #3:

"Rain" of Korea. Singer-actor of South Korea and star of the soap "Fullhouse" was named as one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people of the year. Nyak! He's proof daw that trends of the East can move West (instead of the usual West to East).
