when the rain comes, they run and hide their heads...

it's yet another scorcher outside the room. the temperature must be in the mid 30s. thanks to the inventor of modern airconditioning, i'm not feeling any of it here inside the office.

i used to hate the rain when i was a kid because i couldn't play outdoors. and i wasn't always allowed to play in the rain either. so everytime my friends would frolic in the rain, i'd just sit by our living room window and watch them have all the fun in the world. years later, everytime there was a light rain or drizzle, me and my friend patrick would get dressed in going out clothes and walk in the rain. we found this practice rejuvenating. people would ask why we had to change in going out clothes, well we figured that since it was just a drizzle and we really had no plans of taking a bath in the rain, we didn't need to strip down to our shorts. it makes sense doesn't it? but have you ever walked in the rain fully clothed? if you haven't tried it yet, you ought to give it a try sometime. i find it refreshingly cool. it's an experience that we should all go through even just once in our lifetime. and isn't there this old passage which says that we should all be rained on or a little rain should fall on us sometime, something like that? that is just so true...
