Weather Complaints
Posted by special_child at 04:45 AM on May 14, 2006 as a favorite post.
If not for the weather, I won't be posting anytime soon. 
I had to forego an existing entry I have been typing in Notepad (I saved it for another rainy day), giving way to a fresh entry straight out of my blabbing, working-harder-than-ever brain. And what is it about? My filed complaint against stormy weather.
Who does want it raining? Rivermaya, perhaps. But not me. I never wanted it raining in the middle of summer. Haha. There are a lot of reasons why I don't want it to rain, and for my own counter-arguments I only see a few. The only advantage when it rains is that it's cold and windy, yet you can recreate the same atmosphere with an air conditioner. 
I don't want it to rain because it is, technically, still summer. Come on. It's my time to enjoy the sunshine (not necessarily the heat), and instead it pours. I can't use my sandals in the process (mind you, I so like my sandals because they're so comfortable), nor can I wear shorts with a nice tee. I have to wear jeans yet again, just for my legs and feet not to get wet. And there's still no guarantee to that.
I don't want it to rain because it cancels my plans. I should have met with my blockmates this weekend, and because of the storm it was pushed to another day. I might even miss a favorite show because of the move. Haha.
I don't want it to rain because it brings me back to school. Having stormy weather gives me a big expectation not to have classes. And the mere thought brings me back to reality that I won't be having classes anymore, or in the near future to make it more clear. I remember back in high school, when we were always hyped in coming to class (cancellation of classes due to weather wasn't a given to our school... even if you were sick, you were still expected to come to school haha), even if there was a heavy downpour, you'd expect to lose a lot if you don't go because of the weather.
I don't want it to rain because it generally brings me the feeling of desolation. It's as if you're so helpless, lying on the bed, not wanting to get up and do your usual routine (or is it just the slothy me going to a certain extent?). And if I do nothing, my mind really works triple hard (I don't know why) to resurface all my sad and sentimental moments, and I just can't help but feel sad in the process.
I don't want it to rain because it gives an extra kick to my sentimental playlist. I normally listen to these songs, but it's kinda different once it's raining outside. There's this entry I made before that talks about comfort songs, and it was whipped up in stormy weather as well.
Whew! It really is a big hassle for me whenever rain comes. But then again, forces of nature should not be dealt with repressively. You just have to be prepared when it comes.
