Are you always ready for the weather when you go out - rainy or sunny?

Hi everyone!
The weather is becoming more unpredictable. Now it's so hot then suddenly it rains hard and then stop. I even heard a man saying the weather in our country has become confusing. When its summer time it rains and when its suppose to be rainy season its hot and I think the man is right.
That's why I never leave my umbrella when I go out. It can be a bothersome to carry sometimes but its useful even during sunny seasons. The sun's ray is painful on the skin and my head heats up when walking under the sun. They also say you can get lice when exposed to sunrays at noon times. It can also make my skin dark and I don't like that hehe.
I also carry shades when I go out when its sunny. It protects my eyes from vehicle reflections whenever they passby and I can see clearly when walking.
So, how prepared are you for the weather?

Well, I hate bringing an umbrella, eversince..So, when Im out and it suddenly rains, i'd be stuck wherever I am at the moment..I would wait it out rather than get wet..if im in a hurry and a taxi is available, i would take the risk..If im within the village, there's always a tricycle around to ferry me to my destination..I dont wanna bring a heavy load, even if it's a folded umbrella, it's still heavy for my shoulder..

Hi.. if you really have no choice but to ride that taxi and he didn't flag down the meter, just take note of the plate number and the company name of the taxi and report it to LTFRB. They would suspend his franchise without them knowing that it was you who reported him..Just dont be too obvious in taking note..

Hi friend! Yeah taking a taxi is the easiest way for me too to get out of the rain and to get to my destination. But I don't like riding taxis cause the fare is expensive . One time I forgot to bring my umbrella and it rained so I rode a taxi and the fare was 
so high cause the driver opted not to put on the meter. Sometimes taxi drivers takes andvantage of the rain when they get passengers thats why I'd rather bring my umbrella with me.
Ciao!

Hi iskayz, as speaking of me, I am never prepared with the weather. I usually do not carry any umbrella or any sunglasses with me. I am not that careful with the weather, and I don't take anything helpful with me even if I know the weather condition.
You just run? Maybe you always wear a coat so its ok if you get wet

I can say, yes, I am always prepared for the unpredictable weather. Indeed the weather has been very fickle these days. I always bring my umbrella with me in my bag. I need it also during lunchtime when the sun is at its hottest so I make it a point to open my umbrella. It's not bothersome to bring it with me in my bag because it's a small folded type. At least I won't have to wait for the rain to let up just to get home should I be somewhere else.

! Just like a girlscout hehe. Mine is a folding umbrella too. Just a small one but sometimes its bothersome for me cause I don't carry big bags that would fit my umbrella.
Ciao!

An old Chinese saying:"keep the umbrella with you even if it is fine and have some solid foods with you even if you are full". It means we should always be ready for the bad conditons. But now the situation has changed that people seem to have forgetten this old saying.
