Walking In the Rain

Went walking in the rain today.

Not in the romantic sense, mind you. Before you start thinking that I've found someone new, I haven't. Yet. In first place, I'm not even looking. Well, I am looking, but not for a boyfriend. I'm looking for a new job. But that isn't even the point of this entry. So let me start again...

Thrina and I went walking today. At first, we thought we wouldn't be able to since it was drizzling outside. But once it stopped, we went ahead and left the kids at home with yaya Josie and Joey.

Our route was simple: Straight down Outpost Court, then left on Picket Oaks Road, then left again on Store House Road. We continue on Store House and turn right on St. Germaine, then take another right on Field Encampment. A slight change for today's walk: Instead of going all the way to Centrewood before heading back home, we would take the shortcut and pass by Karen and Carlo's house (which is Thrina and Joey's old townhouse). That's it. Plain and simple. One long walk around the neighborhood.

Anyway, we were enjoying our brisk walking, telling each other about our day (she accompanied the kids and their cousins places, and Karen and I went shopping for office clothes - because I got a call from the portugal embassy. Woohoo! Dumadami ang prospects! Sana may kumagat!), when we felt little drops of water on our arms and eyelashes. We continued our walk since we were already on Field Encampment Road. Ambon lang naman eh. Malakas din naman yung araw. Kung lumakas man yung ulan, pwede kmeng magpasundo sa bahay nina Karen.

Well, we didn't even get close to Karen and Carlo's house. The rain just started pouring and we were forced to wait under a tree along the road. Thrina called Joey, who'd already left the house to come get us (Ang sweet! Hahaha).

The kicker is this: When Joey arrived, the moment we got inside the car, the rain stopped.
