the month's end

october 31. i remember something 24 years ago today. so long ago but still vivid in my mind.

but there is one detail i dont remember now: if it rained that day or not.

today, it rained. lunch at an elevated restaurant in e rodriguez was good. the scenery below too. i am glad i sat by the window.

but first before the rain, some people waiting for jeepney:














during the rain:

people go to different directions. of varying speeds. most with umbrella.





















some umbrella are too large, others appear small for the user:





















some share completely, others a little















those without umbrella have other strategies.



















some illustration of life as a whole?




i use a black umbrella today (i have purple too)

but i can walk in the rain without one, except when i am going to work.
