Dancing In The Rain



Life is a two sided road – the joy on one side and the pain on the other side. Let us face the fact that life won’t give us sunshine everyday. And more often that not, life pours on us heavy rains and with all those chilling winds. But it is God’s will that life won’t give us just sunshines but also heavy rains because God wants us NOT ONLY to smile when we see the sun shining brightly on our way but also to appreciate the gloomy rain and to learn how to dance under it – that means, even in the midst of bitterness of life, we should learn how to STILL appreciate the brighter sides and still praise and thank the Lord in spite of the poignant reality that bites and stings us in everywhere it could.



So whenever you find yourself under the rain… learn to dance… and when the coldness of the winter strikes you… learn how to skate and make snow man… learn how to feel the joy deep within even in the midst of the chilling and killing snow – hope you get the point.


On The 25th



People especially those who are close enough to me thinks I’m a weirdo in so many ways because of the things I naturally appreciate… even the most unnoticed things around.



I confess I am…


Here are some weird things about me…


1. I appreciate and enjoy the mere sound of the cracking manual typewriter or the light sound of the keyboards of the computer in the midst of deafening silence inside the room. Yup!... For me it is music.
2. I would notice a cooked fish’s face first before I started to eat because I believe that there’s always a story behind every cooked fish fried in our kitchen.
3. I could watch the rain the whole day… I mean the whole day and sympathize with the sun as it desperately forces its rays to shine forth behind the thick clouds.
4. I could watch the line of those ants with so much enthusiasm.
5. I get mesmerized by the traffic lights and personally think that it is very relaxing to just sit inside the cab and watch it as it changes its colour.

… and the recent weird thing I did was, I walked the whole road of España boulevard just to count how many stoplights are there on the vertical horizon of the road.

Here’s the trivia… all in all there are 25 stop lights excluding the side lights leading to another road.


Isn’t it weird?
Isn’t it strange?

And thus the title of this post derived.
