First Rain of January 2012

The 3rd of January 2012, a quarter before four in the afternoon, as I looked upon the bathroom window, i saw it was drizzling outside. It made me think twice of the date, the place is somewhere south in the metro. I wonder if this is happening only on this part of the city, nonetheless, it's raining.

And surely, after I finished my bath, it's pouring heavily outside, trying to beat the rhythm of the spinning electric fan, all I thought was it's the mere sound of the fan, but I had to double check, and it was really raining, I glanced out the road, some have their umbrella's opened, shielding against the pouring rain.

I was talking to a lady in her forties a while back during lunch time, she was confirming to me if there's a storm, she might have noticed the gloomy weather, the sudden breeze of chilling winds. It was all out of the extraordinary, yet from the simple eyes of an experienced mind, she has been trying to reconcile, what's happening with the world. Then she started talking about the tragedies, about the Mt. Pinatubo, the Ormoc landslide, the incessant storms that have devastated our country, and lately- the disaster that hit Iligan and the cities in Mindanao.

I have yet to witness the next, of which I couldn't fathom. It may sound skeptic and kind of bringing in the negative vibes, it is not my intention. I'm just purely fascinated by the facts.

Who knows, while I'm typing this now, something's happening somewhere else, that could bring a big shocker, to blow the minds of us, that in our simple and un-altered ways of life, we are back to thoughts in reflecting to be Thankful that the peace reigns no matter what, in our hearts.
