the smell of the rain...

last saturday, it rained on my way home...and the smell of the rain brought wonderful memories... i remembered how i played in the rain with friends unmindful of the possibility of catching colds afterwards...the times mish, betz and i watched vhs tapes during the rainy days...it brought smile remebering mish holding an umbrella while betz and i took a bath in the rain...she wasn't able to join us because she was sick...the rainy afternoons i spent writing thoughts and feelings in my journal...the times i would sit by my window during my college days mesmerized by the rain while counting the days i would finally go home...the laughter i shared with my special someone while walking in the rain...the times i cuddled myself to bed while reading a good book... lots of precious memories rushed to my mind that afternoon that made me thank HIM for the rain and the memories it bring...
