Freak Rainstorm Hits Manila

Today started out very calmly and quite normal. Our professor for our afternoon class didn't show up just as expected.

Day turned to night... Alas! time to go home! We have just reached the lobby of our building and SURPRISE! The worst case scenario suddenly happened... From the darkness of the sky, poured rain exactly like during a super typhoon. It rained tremendously hard! With winds so strong, and droplets more like water bullets. There's no way one could go out there and not be defeated by heavy downpour of rain.

It's a hopeless battle against nature. It flooded almost everything in Manila within 30 minutes! I thought to myself sarcasticly, this a great way to start off our first week in school... to be sranded in the university. It's a blessing that one of my classmates offered a ride home or else i would have been stranded in the university until midnight.
