I like storms.. or heavy rains... especially when I'm at home doing nothing. I was enjoying it this morning to my heart's content. Just downloading some MP3s to burn so that we will have some new sounds to listen to in the car.
Mark and I were planning to watch Surrogates at SM Molino on 3PM. My mom was nagging me to not go because of the heavy rain. But I still did. Then it happened. We just arrived at the already full parking lot, and luckily there was one space free and we parked there. Wish it was just as simple as that... there was a round post at the right side and the car came too close to it until it scratches against the car door. It was okay at first, just some paint rubbed off onto the car. But the car wasn't positioned properly yet, so we still have to do some maneuvering to make it right. The parking space was very small and narrow, there was also a car behind us so we couldn't go backwards too much -- and that makes the parking so damn difficult. So we tried to position the car properly while the damn post was scratching away on the car door. Since both of us are very newbies at maneuvering in very narrow spaces, we couldn't get away from the post anymore. Luckily, there was a man and a woman who helped us and gave us very precise directions on how we can park properly. I thought we will never be able to get out of that... We said our thanks to the people who helped us then finally got out of the car. Looking at the right side of the car, there were a lot of white paint from the f*cking post. I HATE THAT POST (if it's not yet obvious). There was also a large dent on the car door, perfectly shaped like the post, it seems that the post was already too comfortable leaning on the car door for a while. You know like when your head is lying on a pillow for a while, and when you finally get up, you'll see that your head has already left a mark on the pillow. Yeah. Just like that.
It took us like 30 minutes to park, so we already missed the movie. We decided to go for the next schedule which is at 5PM. So we ran some errands first, bought a rubbing compound and went back to the car. Mark knew there was a reason why we bought a LOT of rags when we were stuck in traffic in Laguna. This is it. So we spent another 30 minutes removing the white paint on the car. And while I was doing that, the damn post was still annoying me... there's some water from the post pouring on me. It was also scratching against my hand. REALLY, I HATE THAT POST.
After a lot of hard work, the car looks okay now except for the large round-shaped dent - yeah, oh well. We went back inside the mall to buy some food, we were already hungry from all the parking stress. After eating, we are finally on our way to the cinemas. GREAT! We're watching a movie! I was about to buy the tickets, and Mark was buying popcorn... when the cinema attendant told me that the only available movie is "In My Life." Apparently, they are having some problems and I don't care what anymore.
I really hate that post. >_<;;
In My Life is a must-see movie :)
