RAINY DAYS & SUNDAYS

It's been raining hard lately, typhoons come and go especially during this month 'til December.The rainy season usually starts in May and would end early part of January then the countdown begins for summer.... time for the beach once again YIPEEEEE!!!

I love this season because of the weather, it's cold and I love to snuggle in bed with my comforter wrapped around me and the electric fan on! Weird? well that's me. I guess each one of us has his or her own idiosyncracies and those idiosyncracies make us unique persons.

What I abhor about this season are flood and traffic. And I was one of those unfortunate ones who have to pass by flooded areas on my way to work and back home.And usually taxi drivers don't want to tread on those paths and this is also one reason why I dislike this season for I'm having a hard time getting a cab that will take me to work. I have no choice since it's the only mode of transportation that can get me there.Oh well that's life! I'm thinking of buying a car but there are more problems to deal with if I'll buy one. Besides, I'd rather save the money for the monthly amortization, once I have more than enough that's the time I'll buy a brand new one with the car model of my liking.But for now, I'll settle with taxis, all I have to do is to hail it and off I go. Unlike if I have my own car I still have to worry about parking, parking fee, insurance, oil price and the list goes on....

Rainy days on weekends are the best times to reflect on what has happened in your life and what you want to do in the future. The sound of the rain dropping on the ground and the roof is very soothing and calming too, that's the rain's effect on me. This plus music on the background is the perfect moment to daydream He! He! He!. Hot choco or native hot cocoa, coffee, champorado with tuyo or arroz caldo ..... and the list of fave food for this season continues..... YUMMY!!!!!!

This is also when my creative juices flow out. I'm in the mood to paint again! I've been looking at my paintings lately and I was thinking that I miss my paint, pastel crayons and paper. I just use any paper - whatever is available at home that's what I use and I seldom use paintbrush. My fingers are my paintbrushes and they serve me well =D

Adib, a new found Singaporean friend of mine, commented that my paintings are good and reflects my inner self. I agree. All the paintings that I did have a story behind it. Whether it be driven by boredom, feeling of being in a limbo, confused or basically just happy!

I truly thank God for I have a lot of avenues to express how I feel be it in photography, painting, dancing or singing, not to mention writing and the list continues. I used to write poems especially during my teen age years but I lost touch with that side of my artistic talent.One of these days I'll revive my passion for writing poetry.

Today is the culmination of the week and tomorrow is the start of another bout of challenging and stressful work week. Oh well! I'll just take one day at a time.I know SOMEBODY is guiding and protecting me and helping me pull through each day. As the saying goes ....

" If HE puts you to it, HE will pull you thru it. "

I BELIEVE.
