right on schedule

it never fails. only in august. not really. most likely to happen in august.

the day started a little well. went to the QC RTC to file some manifestations. nothing bad happened. then went to the UP Post Office to mail another manifestation. again, nothing bad happened there. well, except for the fact that i had to spend for the postage fees. but there isnt anything peculiar with that. after the post office, i then rode a jeep to go to SM North so i could ride a bus to Monumento. thats when it started to rain. well, it is the rainy season, so its something expected. so when i reached philcoa, it was raining. when i rode the bus to Monumento, it was raining. when i walked from Monumento to 10th Avenue, it was raining. when i rode a jeep to go to the Caloocan judicial courts, it was still raining. when i reached the judicial courts, thats when the rain stopped, minutes before i was about to enter the building. how nice. again, it happens, so nothing to complain about. things went well in the Caloocan MTC. i was able to photocopy the things i needed and the people there were really friendly. so i then started to head back and go to Marikina. when i reached Monumento (after walking all the way from 10th avenue), the sole of my left shoe got detached. it was 90% detached so i really couldnt use my left shoe. fortunately, the cigarette vendor was nice enough to get me some slippers which she sold for P30 (while waiting for the cigarette vendor to come back, a woman fell prey to "snatching" who lost an earring or pair of earrings). so i bought it and then looked for a shoe repair guy. i found one and i had to wait for an hour. so i wasted an hour fucking around, because what else can i do? i cant go anywhere. sure i have slippers, so what? i was already heading to Marikina. and by this time, i was already tired. ive done a lot of walking already, most of it under the rain. and my umbrella isnt in good condition either. when i got my shoe back, it was almost 3pm so i doubt i will make it to Marikina in time. so i just headed back to school and study. since i was so drained and tired, i just ended up sleeping in the library. i woke up from time to time to read a little but i was just so fucking drained. around 630pm, had a meeting with groupmates. finally, something productive. around 9pm, had another meeting with another set of blockmates. really tiring day. around quarter to 10, had dinner with some of my blockmates. and probably half an hour later, went home walking. because im forcing myself to start walking home again to save some money and to at least get some exercise. thats when the 5min rain started pouring. how nice. it rains when im walking outside. it was short but strong enough to get my socks wet. well, because it quickly created puddles on the road and my shoes arent exactly water resistant. and i have a long walk to go. so even when the rain stopped already, my socks were wet already. damage has been done. at least nothing bad happened after that. maybe tomorrow. and i still have more than 3 full weeks left to endure.

thats the thing. its just a bunch of little unfortunate stuff when taken together becomes really burdensome. well, it usually does rain when im outdoors so i guess the only bad thing that happened was the shoe incident which caused delay which prevented me to do things as planned which could have fucked up consequences in the following days.
