Rain, Rain… Damn It! I Thought I Told You to Go Away!

This is ridiculous.

I’m on a jeepney (a public transport vehicle in the Philippines) in the middle of a light drizzle on a Tuesday afternoon along Magsaysay Road, Baguio City when suddenly, heavy drops of rain begin to fall. I didn’t have an umbrella. Within minutes, the street was flooded with muddy water. Apparently, the highway drainage system wasn’t adequate enough against the splish-splashing water. I was clean and dry in my favorite clothing. “This is ridiculous,” I repeated in my mind.

This is really ridiculous.
