The perks of living in a tropical country

It has been raining every single day, mostly in the afternoon since Pristine and I landed in the Philippines. It sure does annoy people who live here - how it takes forever for the laundry to dry, how small swamps and mud puddles are formed in an hour of downpour, how we have to carry an umbrella when we go out in the sunny morning because rain is highly anticipated in the afternoon.

Me? I am not bothered at all. I missed the rain when we were living in Dubai. The last time it rained there was last January. I love waking up to the sound of rain in the morning or after an afternoon nap. I have another week of tropical weather bliss. It’s hot summer in most parts of the world but here, it’s just perfect. Not too hot at maximum of 31C and the rain pleasantly reduces the temperature.

I am happy.
