The heat was intense; I knew I had to reapply. I unzipped my bag and searched for my sunscreen. I could not find it, unfortunately. The whole day, hence, I walked unprotected. I felt my skin aged ten days. I worried about acquiring more freckles and facial sun scars. I wished Kuya Rich would come back to Davao so I would not have to take water samples in his behalf. I'm not happy in the field. I'm so miserable in the field. I wanted to fly back to my lab, conduct preliminary experiments, sniff the airconditioned breeze... I wanted to; I couldn't. So I slouched back in the banana trunk, burried my burnt face on my palms, recollected, pondered...Dear God, I wish you made me a Man so I need not worry about ugliness. A woman can love without her eyes.
