I’ll be going home late tonight. I’m still in the office; stranded… more of stuck, actually, because of the heavy rains outside. We just finished our hip hop aerobics class in our office gym. I so enjoyed the class but I feel so so tired because we have a new and a more cardio routine. I was having a hard time following our instructor’s new steps.

I am sure that the streets where my brother and I will pass will be flooded again. In any which route I choose, the long way, short cut, etc., I am so sure that we will be singing Pocahontas’ “Just around the river bend”; with some songs from High School Musical, of course!

Gosh! I feel so sleepy now; so dang tired. I am not sure if I could drive with this drowsy feeling, more so, dive in floodwaters! Instead of keeping me awake, I know my brother will just snooze throughout our trip home. Listening to the radio has no waking effect on us. I might as well take a nap while waiting for the rain to go slow. But I might not wake up.

You see, I still have to fetch my brother who is staying in a friend’s office. He stays there after school, doing his assignments and studying, while waiting for me to knock off from work at around eight in the evening.

This has been our routine for almost a year already: we wake up early to fix ourselves, and then drive my brother to school before seven in the morning. Then I’ll be arriving in the office at around seven, close my room and sleep for an hour and a half, wake up and fix myself again, and open my room before nine to signal the start of work.

My brother’s classes usually end at around three in the afternoon. He tarries for awhile in school, play with his friends, stay in the library or play online games at a nearby internet café. Then if its time to study or do an assignment, he’ll proceed to the office.

We usually don’t go home immediately to avoid the rush hour. And most of the time, especially in my case, bulk of my workload is usually towards the end of the day.

It appears like the rain stopped already. Okay… got to go!
