It’s just one of those weird things

January 29, 2009

I’ve been commuting from Manila to Cavite (and back) almost everyday for the past four years. In all those years, I’ve witnessed this queer phenomenon fairly consistently. The first few times I noticed it, I thought it was just coincidence. Then it happened again and again and frankly, I don’t know what to make of it.

 

It’s this. Roxas Boulevard intersects EDSA in Pasay through a fly-over. Sometimes, if it rains north of this flyover (going to Ermita), south of it (Pasay going to Cavite) is dry. If south of this fly-over is experiencing rain, north of it is dry. It’s weird because as soon as you cross the flyover, the road is no longer glistening and rain drops stop pattering on the window and vice versa. Mind you though,this doesn’t happen all the time. I’ve seen it maybe less or a little more than ten times so far. It actually happened again yesterday. Weird no?
