Concurrence or What?

Finally, after recovering fully from my allergy, I decided to go to Robinsons Mall today to have the money we used in Malaysia converted back to pesos (my husband told me to convert the money to dollar as mentioned in the hotel voucher for the deposit) and have my photo ID taken. But for some reason, right after I finished taking shower, lo and behold, it started raining!! I have encountered the same problem a lot of times now when I plan on going out and then it would start raining. Sometimes, I am able to, but while I’m out, then it would rain and I always end up having a hard time getting a ride back home. Either way, I can never get away from it. What I don’t like about it are these reasons:

• When it rains, it floods.
• I don’t like bringing umbrella with me that’s why I always get reprimanded by my sweet husband. He knows how much it is a fuss for me to bring one to the point that I’d rather get wet than open an umbrella.
• And the worst, I hear thunder and I hate thunderstorms!!
  

It feels great when it’s raining and I love it. I’ve always loved dancing in the rain and I can fall asleep listening to the sound of raindrops, but I’m scared of thunder. My husband, though loves it as much as it scares the heck out of me. So, whenever there’s a thunderstorm, he always holds me close to him and tells me it’s all right. I know I’m not the only one who’s scared of its sound and if you’re one of us, you’d understand how it feels like every time you hear it roaring angrily right above you. You want to hide in a place where you can’t hear it or you play loud music just to divert your attention. That’s what I do; I play music real loud just so I won’t hear the thunder, though sometimes it’s of no help when the thunder roars louder than the music I’m playing. But now, it’s a lot better because John gave me an iPod as a birthday present and I use it every time there’s thunderstorm. It’s a big help!! I don’t hear anything except for the songs playing on the iPod. For a short period of time, I am secluded from the outside world and it feels good.

Well, I decided to stay here at home. I don’t want to take chances of me getting trapped in the middle of flooded streets. I have encountered that a lot of times, and I was never happy about it. Who would be? I even almost cried one time because it was raining pretty hard and I’ve been standing for more than an hour and I couldn’t get a ride home. The streets were flooded and cab drivers refused to drive me to where I live. They always refuse to go to that area because the water can get really high when it floods. Sometimes, right outside my house, the water rises up above-the-knee deep. I heard that there’s another storm coming in and I’m sure it won’t stop raining until later on tonight. So, here I am now just sitting here in my room, writing. It’s good that I have this blog. At least it keeps me busy when I have nothing else to do, just like now. It kills tediousness and I actually can use my extra time doing something sensible.
