the super typhoon and bridget jones
two weeks ago, there was this super typhoon. i don't particularly remember the name because of the absence of tv and newspapers in the apartment. anyhow, classes got called off for thursday. we were doing nerdy stuff. READ: reading consti cases! (woohoo, exhilirating!) night fell and classes for the following day (friday) also got called off. talk about luck. hehe! so the palma kids (we call ourselves this. me and my blockmates who stay in palma st. - the street near ateneo law) namely julie, lea, sheila, kaye, deb and myself decided to watch the last full show of bridget jones in power plant. after confirming if the movie houses are still open (thinking it was already closed due to the extremely bad weather conditions), we ate dinner (canned goods feast) and got ready.
well, besides the nice movie, this was the most exciting part of the night. amidst the strong winds and torrential rains, we braved the streets walking in rockwell armed with our jackets and umbrellas. it takes around 5-10 minutes to walk from our pad in palma to the mall. so, those 10 minutes were filled with shouting and umbrellas overturning (most of us were using these "foldable" umbrellas). lea was even using a freebie umbrella with the name "jollibee" prominently stamped on top; that particular umbrella was used for the first and last time that night. go figure.
we got to the mall safely, yet looking like newly born chicks (i was thinking chicklets kasi pig - piglet). the movie was very nice, to say the least.
the next day, it was a sunny friday morning. haha! (no kidding) Ü
