Hi! hivers, how was your day? I'm back again for another blog.
The extreme heat we experienced was replaced by cold and rainy season. This is the time all of us are longing for, especially for the farmers. Who is here not happy that it finally rains in our country?
One rainy morning,my daughter asked my permission to let them bathe in the rain along with my nephew. At first I told them not no, but when I saw the sadness on their faces upon hearing the word no I felt guilty. So I let them have fun in the rain.
They will not always be kids,they will eventually grow and will not be likely to get wet in the rain. So letting them get bathed in the rain is a delightful moments that they will carry on for their lifetime. Something that they will tell their children and grandchildren when they get old. So for now, I let them cherish the simple joy of their childhood.
Afterwards I asked them to have enough of their fun and to change their wet clothes into dry ones. They might catch a cold of staying long in the rain.
I prepare a food for the two of them that they could share and a hot cocoa drink.(Kan-on mais + pinirit0ng tuloy + tabliya = busog). I'm still wondering until now, why is it everytime it rains we feel like eating and craving for a hot drinks?
Their is a little blessing that comes, so I treat my kids and their cousin to Crispy King.
But I forgot to bring umbrella with us, so we head home soaked in the rain. I don't wait for the rain to stop because I have plan to bathe in the rain 🤣.
I bought some food for my father too. Even the blessings I received were not that huge but it won't stop me from sharing them to the people whom I loved so dearly.
Then the children played in the rain again while I look after them because we were near the road.
They race their Crocs slippers.
This day it rained so hard, look at this flood.
Then I remembered I don't have my own slippers and what I'm wearing now is my mother's because it was broken, so I decided to go to the market and buy a pair of them. I bring my kids along with me.
As we enter the market I can see the effects of heavy rain inside. It flooded the market.
Heading to the place where their father worked, we pass this man- sweeping the water, avoiding to reach his products.
My kids continue heading to their father, excited of the new experience. When it rains , usually we just stay home so basically speaking they are enjoying this moment.
When we reached there, thier father workplace. My partner wipe his own spitting image.
Then i decided to buy my kids a pair of slippers as well. We are transferring from one store to another looking for a cheaper one.
I finally bought them.
I'm still looking for a slipper that is comfy to wear but affordable. So we wander around looking. And my kids bringing their old crocs slipper in plastic.
We found this store that the path is flooded. The owner might be thankful that the water does not get inside her store.
.
Then I bought this pair of slipper that were located beside the store before we went here. There store is flooded. I choose this slipper , I know that its not everyone choice but I love wearing this slipper, it's so comfy to wear and most of all it's affordable and the quality is commendable.
When we want to cross the road, suddenly thunder and lightning roar in the sky. And me and my kids are so scared that went back to the market. I just saw on Tv news the other day,about 3 children who got killed allegedly because of lightning stroke them. Out of nervousness, we run heading back.
When the rain are not that hard. We have a stop at this store waiting for us to cross the road and head home to change our wet clothes.
After the rain comes a clear sky and a calm weather.
As I reflect of the changes in patterns in our climate this days, it can be indeed be compared to our own rhythms and cycles in life.When the weather changes, so as our life too has its moments of intensity, calm and clarity. Rainy days might represent challenging times while clear days could symbolize new beginnings and opportunities . The changes from one to the others remind us that after hardships often come ease and this all are part of what we call life .
I will end my blog here and I hope your having a good day.
