i know caloy did bad things for other Filipinos but I was out that day, under the heat of the sun and stricken by the very humid air (which was always the case everyday) when suddenly, the clouds made a strange formation and drizzle was in sight. i almost cried that moment after four friggin’ months of being in a microwave.
