a walk to remember


It was a totally remarkable night. Heavy rain, flood, wet clothes.
I was really pissed off by what had happened last night. I called up my highschool friend about 5:30 in the afternoon to inform her that I'm coming to an event in which she participated, cause she texted me prior to that (inviting me to come). It was supposedly 6 p.m.(no rain yet), but I watched American Idol, so I was delayed for about two hours.
When I came rushing to the venue, it started raining, though not that heavy. But when I finally get out from the taxi I'm riding, the heavy rain started to pour heavily. That was so disgusting because I dropped at the nearest convenience store to buy something. It was so bad that I have to walk in the rain while my shoes was filled with water, my socks were totally wet, my clothes were also wet, I was extremely washed by the rain. But what's even bad is that I have to walk against the vehicles in the street because it's a one-way street. Imagine that? With yourself finding it hard to walk because of the flood and because of the people that's sure to be laughing at you.
But when I arrived at the venue, I saw those special children with their smiles (well, that's the event I'm talking about, The Camp Pag-asa, a 10-day camp for special children), I was really moved by those children who performed in the stage amidst their difficulties and differences. It has all paid-off. I even forgot that I'm totally wet. By the end of the night, I accompanied one of those special children to went back to their camp, she was on a sleigh because her other foot was cut by some reason I haven't bothered to ask.
After that thing, the rain was still on, but I have to go home, the jeepneys were all full, taxis were hard to find. But I managed to went home with all conviction.
That was a disastrous yet a very wonderful night. Awesome!
