Rain, rain go away!

Rain often times put a smile on the farmer's faces especially when there is drought. Puts us into a state where we just want to lie in bed or drink and sip a hot coffee or soup while watching the rain drop. Yesterday, it was raining cats and dogs. The wind was howling, almost uprooting some of the trees here. The rain lashed everything that blocks its way. Today, it rained again. The clouds are so thick that it made the middle afternoon look like dusk. There were times before that the rain was harder than yesterday's and today's however, it brings the memory of storm Ondoy especially now that Megi or Juan is in the country. What will Juan bring? Another Ondoy-like trauma? Good thing I live in the southern part of the Philippines but what about those who are in the northern part of the country? We can never defeat nature's wrath but there are always precautions that we can follow. I hope that the country is ready this time as a lesson learned from Ondoy and welcomes a new sunshine with everything standing still and not with corpses and broken properties.
