and then there was rain
i was fighting sleepiness while driving in horrible traffic (what’s new) in SLEX, northbound today. my eyes were really getting heeeyveee… and any time i could really doze off because we were just inching forward, sometimes not at all for a full minute.
i’ve turned up the volume on my radio, sang to it (even if i didn’t know most of the lyrics, so what if i looked stupid nodding and tapping away on the wheel), and even attempted to dance. nothing worked, i was still sleeeepy.
and did i mention it was scorching hot outside? i just came from calamba because of work and it was unbelievable that only a couple of hours before, it was pouring. the heat did not help at all.
i already had some brilliant ideas to keep myself awake, which i’d say, aren’t as brilliant really, but i had nothing else. i considered calling an ex but thought that was a bad idea even if he was the one who came to me first (and i said no excuses, what the hell was i thinking?) and was already contemplating on scrolling down to the-one-that-got-away’s number, when i prayed out loud, “Lord pleeeease. don’t let me get sleepier.”
and then there was rain. hard-pouring, pounding, visibility-up-to-50-meters-only kind of rain and i literally had to keep my eyes open to watch out for any road object (which include cars without their hazard lights on). i got home and immediately fell asleep as soon as i hit the bed.
talk about sense of humor. if there’s anyone who knew just how to amuse me just when i need it the most, it could only be Him.

haha, you had me laughing here, I dunno maybe it was the dancing part and singing athe i-don’t-know-lyrics. Then for a second there, ohnoes, not the ‘accident’ again (knocking on wood). I was gasping here, for pitysakes!
I would of poke your head if I was on the backseat. What if? Yukong madisgrasya anoh?
See, I told you, today was 32 deg superhot in HK, I was on my sando pinag papawisan pa rin ako – kaya pala umulan dyan!

haha, ang kulit mo ris
naalala ko i also had a friend who texted me and asked me to keep her awake kasi antok na antok na din habang nagddrive. just wanted to let you know, i can be your human alarm clock…haha.
the rain, haha, kung hindi the-one-that-got-away would know that he was the one that got away.:P
p.s. the very strange weather that we’re having scares the hell out of me.:(
