October was the rainiest month in recent memory. With La Nina fueled
weather patterns and back-to-back typhoons, it was hard to enjoy the rainy
season which I usually love. October usually marks a lovely transition to
cooler Amihan months but this year, it's an extension of the wet season which
normally ends in early September. It's hard to romanticize the rainy season when a 24-hour downpour is equivalent to a natural catastrophe, at least in this country. What's important is that we keep our spirits high and our hearts warm and cozy.

Sometimes there's nothing we can do but just allow the rain to rain! Feel the rain, be one with the rain. Here's
my favorite short poem about rain from one of my favorite poets Robert Louis
Stevenson. When it rains, it falls on everything and there's no escaping. Put on that raincoat, get your biggest umbrella and jump on every puddle you see.
RAIN
The rain is raining all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
