flip flops

june is (normally) a rainy month in the country. always bring an umbrella just in case the clouds decide to let a downpour. waterproof your stuff (i.e. a bag that contains paper stuff) so you wont regret that you get caught in the rain.
my love-hate relationship with the rainy season dates back to grade school. i'm always geared up from head to toe just so i wont get wet. but somehow, the water manages to get in :( how i hate it when my uniform, hair and socks got so damp! imagine how awesome a day could be when you are in a public place and there's no way to dry a damp socks, either you let your feet soak or let your feet soak o_O. why do the classes here starts in june? why don't they delay it until the rainy days are over? (well, that will make the school days shorter for it rains half a year, yay!)
i'm not saying that i awfully hate the rain. i love it when it rains and i have nothing to do except cuddle up under my sheets. i love to sleep when there's a heavy downpour. but if i needed to be somewhere out and the rain suddenly pour, and i cant wear anything but flip flops, that's definitely a big pffft.
it rained today, and yes, it was slippery outside so i chose the flip flop that wouldnt slip on wet floors. i needed to deposit something to the bank and so was in a hurry to catch it open. i walked a bit briskly and to my surprise, the flip flop that i was wearing really did not slip on the wet ground. only that it got stuck on the slanting sidewalk as i hurried my way up the bank. it got so stuck that when i tried to pull my right foot up, the strap came off. luckily, the other pair didnt stick on the ground. imagine how embarrassing and exasperating that moment was. i was dragging my right foot as i walked while i was trying hard to hold the umbrella still for the wind blew a bit hard as it drizzled. and then when i found a spot (which wasnt really a private one), i tried fixing the thongs and got my hand quite unclean. sigh, lesson learned: before going out in the rain, make sure that your flip flops wont flop, that is to check whether it would slip or stick.
