Today, I part ways with my Blocktech parka—the only one of its kind that I was able to purchase without breaking the bank. My father—who, after decades of being unemployed, has finally landed a job—gave me P5,000 to buy whatever I want. I was then a young professional commuting the streets of Makati, and downpours often meant that I'll come to the office sopping wet. I eyed that lovely pink Blocktech coat which was on clearance sale, and thought how its hot fuchsia color will make me visible amidst zero-visibility typhoons or monsoon rains.
