One song goes, "Rainy days and Mondays always get me down".

I plotted to go to school earlier than the usual last Monday so I can research on my term paper. Imagine my frustration upon realizing no amphibian would survive the wild forces of air and rain that early afternoon. The loud tick-tocks enslaved my soul.

After several minutes, the elements remained unfriendly. The number of bored people in the Quezon Ave. station increased. Then came the news from the MRT management: whoever stays in the premises for an hour and 15 minutes would be charged Php15.00 for overstaying!

Madness, it is.
