As I write hos blog today, it is about 8:15 am PST (Philippine Standard Time). I am here in the office and it is raining very hard outside. As I peaked in the window of the 29th floor of where I am, I can see the rain battering down on the streets. As usual, it's a very wet day, there's a lot of traffic, and it look like 5 pm outside. I wish I were at home just sleeping this through.
I hate the rainy season. Here in the Philippines, it brings not only floods that kills people, but it also brings traffic jams and a very difficult time to go home. Last 2009, as me and my wife were living in another city, a strong typhoon caused massive flooding in the city of Marikina (the city where I grew up), taking a lot of lives and damaging property. In the place we moved, we were not spared either (we are safe since we were renting on the 8th floor), as flooding also destroyed property. It has been like this since.
It has been raining for almost 3 days now. This is a nightmare specially for those people who are going to be washing clothes. Not to mention it's not even safe to go outside. Also, power interruptions can happen at any moment.
But all of these can be solved with a hot cup of coffee, some soup, and warm baked bread. A book, or comic book in hand, snuggled in a warm bed with my wife and kid. Now that beats the rainy day blues!!! Also, God cleans the world of impurities. He washes the world of the pollution that we cause. Yes, he does it using rain. Love it of hate it, God gives us rain.
HAPPY RAINY WEATHER
