This morning on Sunday, the weather was unbearably humid... I'd grown accustomed already to the cold weather we'd been experiencing over the last few weeks. Just like I used to with the temperate and cold climate in Baguio City during my college days. Now, with this 31°C, without an aircon, I was already drenched in sweat and always feel thirsty! The only thing keeping us cool in this heat is an electric fan! Yay! Since the electricity has become so expensive, I've sold our aircon. Now I have to plan on purchasing one again before the summer arrives, because it's really going to be very hot then... But now an AC with a converter is ideal in order to save electricity. Luckily, at 4 p.m., there was a light rain, then it started raining cats and dogs!🌧️ Teenagers on the street were like small children playing in the rain, some with umbrellas, walking back and forth. And as a spectator with a smartphone on hand, I just can't resist not to take pics!😬 Perhaps, those kids were simply pleased with the rain because it unexpectedly poured, so they took a bath, imagine the water is free!💦 Water supply from NAWASA (National Waterworks and Sewerage Authority), also known as Maynilad and Manila Water, was so expensive, so people here rarely took baths and a rain is surely a blessing... Since the privatization of the companies in charge of electricity and water, the bills have become expensive. Many people are hoping that the government will once again take care of these services, as it did during Marcos' tenure, so that the cost will become cheaper and affordable to the people. Why do these private companies charge such a high price for water when there is so much water available in the Philippines?🤔 Yay! We are grateful that the Philippines is abundant in water and sunshine... I wish everything was already powered by solar. Although we will not be first-class citizens of the world and will not have a high standard of living, at least the basic necessities will not be expensive! Wouldn't that be fantastic?😀 The Filipinos are very hard working people and can endure all kinds of hardships. They should at least enjoy the basic necessities of life... Just saying! 🙄 Back to the rain! Many are happy with it, the flowers, the plants, trees and even the kids! Actually, I love the rain⛈️ as much as I enjoy the moon🌙 and Sunset🌄... I feel that the surroundings are dust-free and the air becomes cleaner to breathe. And it cools down the torrid weather, even my head and mind! The rain has some kind of soothing effect!🥱 I just remember the song, Rhythm of the Rain, by The Cascades... https://youtube.com/watch?v=OCrbrcgFla4&feature=share 🎶"Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain Telling me just what a fool I've been🎵 I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again"🎶 It was actually the first song I learned to play in our guitar class in highschool...🎸 It's kinda a song of the hopeless romantic...😍but I just love the tune! And the guitar chords... How about you, Noisemates, have you ever heard this old song before? How do you find the melody?
