Summer Rain

By Pepin

Well, it’s rain season here in the city of love. It sets a perfect mood to extend slumber hours – yeah, more time for hugging pillows and crafting dreams.

People have waited for this kind of weather for a very long time. Typhoon names did not become a part of the daily headlines of local newspapers for months, and the earth – well, was so dehydrated. Farm lands turned into dry toasts; even roof paints of houses started to fade because of the extreme heat of the sun. There was only one thing good about the sunny weather in the past months – you can easily dry off your clothes.

Now, it’s already summer time and the rain is pouring heavily. And isn’t it odd that the sun isn’t blazing at this point of time? I wonder how people will attack the beach when it’s drizzling. Does this means that we won’t enjoy much of our summer this year? Well, we can’t tell. After all, peculiar events are happening in the world today (talk about the tsunami and the nuclear meltdown).

Climate change is a serious problem. It can flip the Earth’s seasons. It spoils summer fun and keeps us wondering of what the hell is happening with the world today. If the sun season won’t be what it should be, then let’s just reserve our swim suites and snorkels for awhile. Let’s just prepare for more mosquitoes breeding around our house.

The heavy rain and howling wind keeps us chilling in our bed, but I hope it won’t ruin our summer. I just can’t afford to see colossal waves on the beach, and neither can you.
