loving the rain

I've been waiting for this rainy season to start. In fact, had I not been too tired, I would've bathe in the heavy rains last week. It was way too tempting but I was afraid it'll do me no good. I had to let it pass. So, I just enjoy hearing the raindrops while at home and looking outside through the glass window when I'm at the office. I have the luxury to enjoy the view, the vehicles that pass by and the vast greenfields opposite our building.

Add to that, rainy days bring me feel-good cold nights, the comfy feeling of my jammies and the need to snuggle my pillows. I love the rain. Many don't. Some associate the rain with loneliness, but I don't. It's for me a companion, a comfort and a music.

I remember the time when I freely cried while letting the rain fall all over me. That liberating feeling brought me relief knowing I can cry and no one will notice.

I thank God for rain. And wished that one rainy day I'm on top of the mountain just to be with myself sans the harsh reality of life.

I am much enjoying coloring books after a week of hiatus. But just imagine my delight when I chanced upon a site which offers coloring online. I was happy! I can't wait to share this with my niece and nephew. I'm sure they'll enjoy it too! Here's my first colored picture- "Sunset"

Nice ba? :)

briefly

My younger sis came home for a one week vacation last June 26. It was so short I believe because we're all too busy to bond. The only time we got to enjoy each other's company was when she treated our niece and nephew at the mall. But that was short too because she did not go with us to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. That's because she decided to shop alone while we watch to maximize the time so that we can go home early.

But nevertheless, it's good enough for me. Better than nothing, right? :)

She left July 3. Ah, I'm not at goodbyes, really. And I knew our parents and I miss her already.

I've been into junk foods lately. And upon checking the list of food intake at work [our food purchases at the cafeteria can be salary deducted hence the list], there are many unhealthy foods m-ostly chichirya. I'm kinda disappointed with myself. Apart from eating a big amount of meat [had no choice bec that's what being served], I also tend to drink soda. Hay.

Good thing though, I do have fruits to compensate the unhealthy habit. Our atis tree in the backyard now bears a bunch and the santol tree too [not ours but our relatives']. I had atis for dessert at dinner and I finished eating two. It's so sweet that I forgot to anticipate for the rambutan tree [at our backyard too] to finally satisfy us. But that's another story.

I'd enjoy savoring the sweetness of the atis [sweetsop or sugar apple] for now and think of how I can avoid eating unhealthy foods.

Atis, anyone? :p
