When it rains... you won't find me under an umbrella.

Rainy season is here.. well for me officially. Once the government declares classes are suspended because of flooding and heavy rains (well more of flooding really.) then that's the start of the rainy season. Makes me wish I'm still in school, all cuddled up in bed.. thinking of the cartoon shows i can watch in the afternoon *sigh*..

The rain's making me nostalgic...

Sometimes I like it when it rains.. sometimes I don't. Usually the reason being that I couldn't go home early, and the traffic and flooded areas are my biggest enemies. But when I feel like I have all the time in the world, I like the rain. It washes away everything, cleaning the air, watering the plants (there I go with my lover-of-nature side)... *sigh* especially if its only a light drizzle.

I like walking under a light drizzle of rain. Yes, I could get sick, I'm pretty much aware of that, but I barely think about it. It's the moment that I'm under the rain that makes it so special. It's so refreshing and so inspiring. You see everyone trying to get cover from the rain, while you're just savoring the moment and the time is ticking slowly. I was too busy with feeling the drops of water on my skin, nothing matters anymore but that moment. And I wish I could get it back.

These days, the rain falls so hard, you can barely savor it (i don't want to stand under a storm, thank you). But sometimes, when it's close to stopping, I keep my umbrella and walk. Just walk. And people are looking at you, don't know whether they're thinking if you're crAzy or just plain stupid because you could get sick. But who cares? I don't mind a wet look. So what if my clothe's get wet? The rain is my friend at that moment. No one's offering me their umbrella, and that's fine with me.

I used to have someone to walk along with me when its raining.. but that was a long, long time ago.. good times though, good times...

Anyway, the radio announced that classes are suspended for gradeschool and highschool. Lucky kids.. they can cuddle in bed. For working people like me, I had to go to work. But its fine, I guess. It's just a short rain, and the skies are clearing up... tomorrow might be another nostalgic feeling.
