A Positive Standpoint

      The dark clouds

Yes it’s the month May and summer is still here, then she gave us our first taste big downpour on her first day. The kids and adults alike went out and bathe ecstatically after enduring months of hot weather,  a big respite from the scorching heat and sweaty afternoons. The first rain in the month of May is traditionally called “Agua de Mayo”  (waters of May) and was believed to have healing effect by the old folks. Since it was the first rain after months of dry season, can’t help but think of the pollution and dirt that might come with this rain, sometimes dubbed as acid rain and could bring more harm to health than good.

The pouring rain

Gladly though that it cooled the air and lessen the heat, cleaned the streets of dust and plants are again looking healthy and greener. The weather bureau said this is not yet the start of the rainy season and we might still experience more hotter days ahead. But since the start of May, almost everyday we are having rain showers in the late afternoon or early evening, making our nights cool and fresh, thus giving us a goodnight sleep. lol.
