it's been a long long long time since i really commuted on my way home from work. since i was meeting my friend ai at gateway coz she had to buy a gift for her mom, i decided to take the road i less traveled.
armed with my trusty black and gold shawl, thinking the walk will be a cool and breezy one, i made my way to ortigas station on foot, despite arden's attempts to persuade me into taking a cab. it was fairly okay, considering i had someone to talk with during the long walk.
when we arrived at megamall, i left arden coz he had some shopping to do (sigh). still, the walk was okay, i was in a mall anyway. but when i exited megamall's premises and started walking along the heavily polluted edsa boulevard, i realized why commuting isn't that much fun. in a span of 5 minutes, i was already perspiring, my shawl clinging to my increasingly uncomfortable nape.
by the time i successfully climbed the steep stairs of ortigas station, i was exhausted! i realized i was really out of shape, and i need to do something about it. maybe it will help that i'm broke and i can't afford to take cabs home for the rest of the week. yes, that will help.
so since i have no choice, tonight, i will be riding the train again. even though i will sweat. even though i need to climb those steep stairs. even though i might have to walk alone. even though my finances will be renewed come friday. really? really. :P
