sun+rain

i went out for lunch today (nothing extraordinary, just went to ministop herrara like the usual). and because i looked out the window before i left my workstation (and saw the sun shining) i didn’t bring my jacket with me. when i was about to cross the street, it started to drizzle. the whole thing (drizzling) went on and off throughout lunch break… sugar and i just kept talking about the usual topics, but my mind was off somewhere.

usually, i’d rant about this kind of weather saying; this kind of fickle weatherness makes people sick or feel sick and it may be the reason why i’m in no mood to work just like a few dozen of my friends. lame excuse. but i’m not doing that today…

today’s weather brought me back to a time when we (me and my kid brother Y) just watched the rain from the veranda or the garage when we were kids… this is the kind of rainy weather when no one’s allowed to go out and enjoy the shower singing “kung ang ulan ay puro tsokolate, o anong sarap ng ulan” from Batibot… or draw Sun’s on the pavement chanting “Rain, Rain, Go away come again another day…” or play with paper boats in puddles.

 

because when it rains while the sun is out…
