Rainy Season in the midst of Summer
Since Sunday, I woke up looking at the gloomy weather outside our bedroom window. I am thankful because these past few days the weather was extremely hot that even the air from electric fan seems hot. So most of the time, what I did was to spray some water on our garage to lessen the high temperature inside the house. Well the weather is expected since we are still in the middle of Summer or dry season. As you know, our country is included in tropical countries that only have two seasons. Dry season or summer that starts as early as in the last week of February and ended up in the month of May. As early as June the wet season or rainy season is next. It lasts up until the next months.
So I am really surprised that the following days after Sunday, mr. Sunshine is nowhere to be seen. Well he showed up for a very short time only but then gone and was hidden behind the dark clouds again. I thought the rain would only last for two days since it is still Summer, oh come on I haven't been to the beach yet. It has been 2 or 3 years summer without getting into the beach sounds frustrating right? I still have high hopes that maybe next week we could feel the warmth of mr. sun, but then the recent news from Pagasa (Philippine Atmosphoric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) declares that the rainy season has officially started today. Why oh why? I guess no beach photos again this year. I am totally disappointed but on the other hand I think it is a good thing because I can save more money for next year summer escapades. One of my dream summer destination is El Nido, Palawan or Coron. I hope I can save more for that. I am looking forward to be at that place and if our budget permit we'll eventually go there.
Since rainy season has officially started, my laziness would begin too. I usually just wanted to lay in the bed because of very cold weather. I am just kidding guys, though half of it is true. I really hate going out when it is raining because I can't properly walk in a wet pavement. I ended up having a lot of little mud splash on my legs. Another thing I hate about rainy days is that my laundry don't dry fast. Unlike when it is super hot the clothes can get dry within the day and I like the smell of the clothes when it was dry by the heat of the sun. Now that wet season is here I guess I'll just used more fabric conditioner in order for the clothes to smell nice even without sunshine.
The thing I love rainy season is because of its cold weather. I don't have to water the plants and I love the sound of it falling from the ground. Just don't include the the thunder and lighting. It is scary as hell. Well I have no bad experience about it, just that it is quite disturbing. The plants are more livelier when it is raining so who am I to be against their happiness. And lastly, our electricity bill could be lower because of this cold weather. Well I really hope so.
How about you? What do you love and hate about rainy season? And what do you prefer most, wet or dry season?

When ask about which I will prefer, I choose hot weather because you can still find solution how to bear with it. Though both of them have advantage and disadvantages. We also need them both.
