Disclaimer Alert: Random Thoughts Ahead

So, it was just a regular day at work. I went an hour or so earlier because i was informed that I need to meet my newly added load. Upon arrival, we met and talk, yadda yaddah yaddah.

Next stop, coffee... I feel like a freeloader today. I was treated with coffee and a donut from my beloved friends/colleague. (thank you!)

Then, work work work. Rain poured, still work work work.

Fast forward.... Going home, I need to take home some books. So I went to my locker, arranged some stuff and wa-la, ready to descend now (coming from 6th floor). With my friend/colleague who's very anxious because it's raining hard (as in very hard) and also because she have a massage appointment in thirty minutes.

Ground floor, still raining. Met another friend/colleague along the way (it's a small world after all). With the heavy rain, we decided to put our backpacks in front of us to avoid getting it wet. Easy at first, we just need to avoid stepping on potholes. As we are approaching the exit, I am already feeling a little choked (it's the bag). I wasn't able to adjust the strap of my bag.

Fast forward again... already riding on a jeepney and still raining (it went a little heavy while we were traveling). Then, I thought of a strategy on how to get off the jeepney - quickly, as in without delaying other passengers. My umbrella is not automatic that's why. Again, I thought, should i still put my bag in front or at my back (the struggle is real)? Then I realized, my bag's still got wet, so i didn't see any difference if I use my backpack bag the way it's supposed to be.

Again, I remembered that choking feeling earlier. Why is it relevant? Because i realized that it is really difficult to breath if you put your baggage in front of you. It is more comfortable and freeing if it is placed at your back.

As I said, random thoughts. That's it!
