Embarrassing Moment


Philippines are a country where the weather conditions are very unpredictable. There are times when it is humid, then suddenly changes to rainfall. Sunny days are my favorite climate when I was in the Philippines. When it is sunny days, I often go play and spend time with my friends, but when it is rainy days, all I could do is stay inside our house which is tedious. During rainy days, it is very muddy, wet and slippery. Rainy days are a season where unexpected things could happen without realizing it. It was a lovely day when my most embarrassing moment happened.
One day, I was all happy when I woke up in the morning because everything seems so perfect. My school uniform such as a blouse, skirt and shoes were all prepared to get me all set for school. I always wake up at 5:30 a.m. to eat breakfast and take a shower and because school starts at precisely 7:00 a.m. The night before school, I heard news from the television that the weather is going to be good. However, the news was a mistake and right before the time that I was about to get out of the house and go to school, it suddenly rained and I was stunned.
After that, I ended up bringing an umbrella to school, so I would not get sick and wet, but I did not get to wear my shoes. I did not have a choice, so I wore slippers when I went to school. I hated wearing slippers because my feet were getting wet from the rain.
When I got to school, I was rushing inside the school campus because I was running late. When I was walking by, the floor was very wet, so I started to slow down walking to go to class. Even though I was being careful, surprisingly, I slipped on the floor. Everyone gazed at me, some people sniggered and some people asked if I was passable. Needless to say, I said I was all right, so it would not be too embarrassing. However, it was the moments were I really wanted to cry, but I did not, because I realized that it could be more embarrassing if I cried in front of them. I decided to go home and get change after the incident, because my blouse and skirt got extremely dirty. I did not come back to school when I went home because I was very embarrassed to face my classmates and the people who saw me in the incident. I stayed in my room the whole day trying to forget about it. It was very horrid and from then on, I started to hate the rain.
As time goes by, it does not really matter to me anymore about what happened before, because past is past. I realized that there will be those times that I would really get into embarrassing or awkward moments. Furthermore, thinking about it now, just makes me laugh and every time it rains, it reminds me of my past memories in the Philippines.
