Now that June is coming, rains are coming again here in tropical Philippines and I am excited indeed. I really love it when it rains because the temperature gets a lot lower (well, our country's really hot) and the plants and grasses are really great in the rainy season here. I only have problems with transportation when it rains but I still like it when rain drops fall. How about you?? Do you like it when it rains??

Yes, i love it when it rains. But only if i am staying at home for the day or i am inside my workplace when its raining. indeed, you will have problems with transportation if its raining in manila. The floods will surely cause heavy traffic on the roads of Metro Manila. Raining reminds me of our family bondings when we were still kids. When its raining, my mom usually cooks banana cue for the family which we would happily share with each other. That is one of our treasured family bondings and it usually happens when it rains.

this flooding thing is a bugging problem throughout the cities in the philippines. it is with due recognition that this problem is most pronounced in the metro manila cities. i hope that the flooding will not be as it used to anymore. flooding the streets as if the sea has claimed the dryland, this is the scene that comes to my mind when someone talks of flooding in metro manila.

So I suppose that fact makes me partly lucky. That's because General Santos is never a floody city though a strong rain may cause small traffic disturbances. Your bondings are very sweet indeed. Thanks for this response!

i love it when it rains! i loved to get soaked in it but i rarely do because i felt old for stuff like that & no one in the neighborhood wud like to join me except for the kids. it'll be awkward if i joined those kids. so whenever i'm caught in the rain on the streets without an umbrella i felt lucky. i see it as an opportunity to get soaked. i just felt sorry for my bag.

Sure do... when it rains, we love to eat our fave dish...bonding time with family...dvd marathon...time to relax and be a couch potato for a change...love to see the true colors of plants and trees. Cars are given instant under wash...so who says it's terrible when it rains?

I do like it when it rains, paricularly when it pours so hard visbility is reduced to almost zero. With a background in meteorology/storm chasing it gives me something fun to do. I do not like it when we get several days in a row of steady rain however. This can get frustrating. It can get very humid after a rain sometimes here which can also make it uncomfortable.

I absolutely love it when it rains. I find it so soothing and relaxing to just sit out on my porch and watch it rain. I cuddle in a blanket and grab a cup of tea and enjoy the sound and scent of fresh rain.

i hate the rain as we have so much of it in the UK practically every day of the year! it is supposed to be summer now but we have not seen summer yet. it is still quite cold outside and rainy. i dont think it is possible we are having summer this year. maybe next year we will have a double summer with the way the weather is now

yes i love rainy days. the weather cools and the humidity drops. i have a problem with excessive sweating so its a blessing for me to have cool weather and low humidity. its also during rainy days that i can have the excuse to be lazy and stay in bed for a long time specially on a weekend. its also the best time for reading when you're holed-up at home because of the rain. we also prepare hot soups and hot chocolate during rainy days. its so lovely having the rains.

I never like the rain because it may have a bad effect on my mood. I prefer to have a sunny weather because it seems it will give me a happy day. If it is raining outside, I don't want to go out because everything is so inconvenient.

I really do like the rain. It is refreshing and alittle rxhilerating. I don't like a torential rain but a nice downpore isn't bad. We have alot of forest fires in my area and so to have rain is a good thing around here.

I dislike rain. It really make me blue. The whole cloudy weather and the dampness. It's just unbarable. If it was one of they big tropical showers then it would be ok, other than that, sunny days are for me.

i like rainy days sometimes, as it makes the day cooler. if i could go out and play in the rain then it would be more fun hehe:P but when i'm feeling down, when it starts to pour, i think it's so annoying because it makes the day look even gloomier haha..

Hey! I'm from the Philippines too. I'm really excited about June because frankly, I can't take the heat anymore. Everytime I finish taking a bath, I sweat right away. The air conditioner can't even do anything about the heat! But this week it's been a bit cooler. It has rained, so that's good. The grass of the school grounds had their taste of water so now they're happily green, although only patches of grass. Most are still brown and wilted. Poor them. I like rain not only because it cools the temperature, but also because the sound it makes when it hits the roof/ground is very calming. Rain has always been a source of inspiration for me. I don't know why, but when it rains, I feel like there's hope for everything. It makes me happy. Maybe because when I was younger, sting rain=no school the next day! Haha! So there. I love rain. :)
