Stranded

The computer clock says 9:52 P.M. And here in Earth Web, I write not because I have a hot piece brewing, but because there's really nothing else to do when you're stranded in ayala with just a coffee cup to keep you company.
 
Bummer. it's one of those rare times the rain gets to me real bad. Nah, wait, I was in this pissed- off mood way before it fell. Funny -- about 5 hours ago, I was laughing my head off with Berna and Emi. And then, all it took was a 30 minute ride from the office to ayala for my world to turn sour. I think Berna has a name for this-- hormonal imbalance. And I'm thinking she's right.
 
Five turns around the mall and i was ready to call myself depressed.
 
Was it because of an unsatisfied Dunkin' Donut craving?
 
The 30-minute wait before I could prostitute my card with the atm machine?
 
A text message that came an hour too late?
 
A phone that never rang all day?
 
A cancelled meeting? Or a would-be meeting that most probably is never going to happen?
 
Because another friend has said goodbye?
 
Or is it the painful thought of having to say goodbye to some of my best friends in a week's time?
 
Even the music here is sad. Some pop star's cooing about some love lost as another segued smoothly into some love that could never be. gawd, save me. when will they ever stop?
 
Anyway, when the world seems crashing down, a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do-- binge out and watch a movie -- alone. So I bought enough food to feed three people. And when i found myself torn between King Arthur and Mean Girls, naturally, I picked the latter so I could wallow some more and because the title suggested the possibility of some serious ass-kicking that do not require too much brain activity. And I was right. And I got more than what i bargained for -- girl power. Now i'm reminded why I love these B- movies and why they too have their merits.
 
Now, the movie's done and the rain's keeping me stranded. And inside, the hormones are back to raging after a two-hour lull.  gaaaad, i wanna scream and i don't exactly know why.
 
i so need the sea right now.
 
10:42. Still, the rain hasn't stopped.
