I didn’t expect I’d say this again but…

September 21, 2009

..I’m missing the rainy season in the Philippines. Yesterday afternoon, while I was cooking Bistek, it just suddenly rained with hail the size of my fingertips. I called my husband who was at the laundry room (Yep, he does the laundry for us. Hehe..) and we went outside. It was the size of my fingertips and I was so excited, I grabbed as many as I could but it immediately melted. I was hoping to get a photo of it, but before I can even get my camera, it was gone. I’ve been here for more than two years now but that was the first time I held something similar to a snow. I loved it!

When we went inside, the smell of Bistek cooking and the rain outside made me think of the Philippines. I was transported back to the the time when all you could is stay inside the house and watch TV and hope that there will be no classes the following day due to heavy rain. Oh well..It made me think of the Counting Crows’ Big Yellow Taxi lyrics:

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you got till it’s gone

So ang moral lesson ay: Huwag mag-reklamo pag umuulan! Yun lang pow. Bow! :p

When you are outside the Phils. its one thing we miss, the rain, the splaterring sound it makes when it hit our roof top and the window pane, it brings us more closer to nature.

Ang hirap ng ipredict ng panahon dito sa Pinas. Sa umaga ang taas ng araw. Pagsapit ng tanghali bigla na lang uulan. Kaya madalas merong pasok ang mga bata. At tulad ng dati umuulan naman late ang cancellation ng class tapos biglang iinit. Yun lang gusto ko lang pong ishare. :)

I’ve not spent a huge amount of time in the Philippines but its clear to me it’s a wonderful country. Anyway, I’m just commenting here because I’m researching blogs about filipino life and found your site on google. If you have any ideas on areas to go while in Manila then I’d love you to share them with me. Happy Holy Week!
