it rained hard, and i was still in the jeepney. in the spur of the moment, the jeepney went down near the blumentritt LRT station. it had a flat tire. everyone was retreating. i primarily had the thought that they were going to wait for the repair, but they weren't. so i had to get my money back and ride another jeep. it was my first time to experience a heavy rain with damp shoes. darn. i was wearing my chucks. i had an umbrella, but i was also holding onto sen's pillow. (p.s. my mom reprimanded me about it. she asked why i took it. i could not say the "reason", so i told her that you just had to give it to me). blumentritt was flooded with dark water and some bare chested street people enjoying their free shower. so, i rode the 'retiro' jeep route. at first, i thought that i was stranded, since i couldn't find any 'retiro' jeep route under the LRT railway. i decided to ride a jeep near the market. i found one. i rode it. it was a bloody trip, but it all went well. Im praising God for His mercy. here's what i learned from it:
1. troubles will come. it may intensify. it may even hurt you. it may float you away from your destination. but troubles will end. there will always be the beginning and the end.
2. parents may teach you what to do, but you need to need to learn it on your own, even if it takes to do it without them.
3. theories will never be facts without experiments.
4. confidence is earned, not bought.
