Rain has always been a positive element for me. Whatever others feel during heavy rains, I am always joyful and celebrate the rains; and it hasn't changed through the years! Even in the city, commuters get depressed to ride the jeepneys or busses during heavy rains. I relate with them very well because you run and struggle with fellow passengers to board first against everyone else, while at the same time holding on to the open umbrella to be closed quickly on entrance. Despite this difficulties, i still enjoy these and amused at the collective movements of the passengers, sometimes they can be like a mob with a distinct sole purpose, that is get a place in the bus and go home.
At other times i just watch the commuters while at the sidestreet enjoying the scene. Of course your pants will be wet to the knees and your shoes get soggy. That is a bit uncomfortable, but that is also an interesting experience. I also like watching the plants after a good soak. They communicate with me their joy and sense of well-being, and they send the sense of contentment. That, somehow, is how i fell too.
