taft survival challenge oy!

it was 2 o' clock and we were about to leave the hospital when we decided to have a divisoria trip to buy some 'essential' things we need. we knew that there is a typhoon but the rain started to lighten up so we just shrugged it off and went anyway. we thought the rain would totally stop but when we were in the jeep already, it suddenly rained really hard. the 30-miunte ride to divisoria became 50 minutes because it was really o-frantic-traffic along taft ave. good news that there were less people in divi because of the rain. we shopped our head off then decided to go home. when we stepped out, we were shocked by the ankle- deep water in the street.

since we had no choice, we walked through yehey-baha street to ride the jeepney. when we reached taft avenue, it was unbelievably worse. the water is 6 inches higher than the water in divisoria. i was squirming like a pig while walking in the flood because it was my first time. and it was just disgusting because you can see how dirty the water is. what's more disgusting is you can feel that you feet are slimy under the water. like, what the hell? you are walking in a giant pool filled with dirt, litters and whatever you can spit or excrete in the streets. it was like a free foot spa because you can actually feel the particles. it was the ultimate survival challenge. i stayed inside the bathroom for almost 1 hour when i arrived the dorm. i am not a yuck-eww-kadiri person but it was just... eww.

moral of the story: don't be hard- headed and just stay at home or the dormitory if it is raining hard.
