Be careful of what you wish for. Kudos to whoever pointed out this simple statement to the world. Trust me, he/she was not kidding for I had my taste of rotten wishes come true a week ago. You see, when I was in the US, Mum bought me this really really really really nice coat, which obviously can only be worn during the cold. But what is cold in the Pinas? WALA! Except perhaps in Baguio, but I don't live in Baguio... so there. Anyway, that coat was pretty pricey so I prayed to God and asked him to bless the Pinas with rain so I could use it without looking completely out of place. And grant it, he did. There was a f'in typhoon when I arrived in Manila.  Billboards were destroyed, trees were falling down, random objects were flying in the air, heavy traffic (come to think of it, it doesn't really count considering it's Manila)... It was mad, I tell you. It was payback for being so selfish. Needless to say, I got to wear my coat. Oh, and did I mention that electricity was out when I reached Bicol still because of that crazy typhoon? Nice welcome, Philippines.
