umbrella..

oh here comes the rainy days. i have always had this little i-don't-like-the-rain attitude since then. why? it's because when i was younger, my 'rents won't let me play outside, even just in the balcony (kay ma-ambihan ko knu..haaay). and even the rain has already stopped, i am still not allowed to go out, 'coz i'll just get myself dirty and icky when i'll play where mud is everywhere. and so, i learned to somehow hate the rain afterwards. not because of those not so unlkely memories but because of my own maarte reasons. Here are some:

during my younger years..

1) i'll have to bring a lot of stuff (my raingear--raincoat,umbrella,etc) in going to school
2) the soles of my shoes always gets covered with mud (despite my utmost care)
3) i don't get to play at my cousins' (even their house are just a few steps away from ours)
4) i always have to stay indoors (and sometimes watch other children play under the rain)
5) i once sneaked and played in the rain and got sick..i never did it again right then

during my older years to the present..

1) i feel like bringing an umbrella is a burden
2) i don't like it when my shoes get wet (including my socks sometimes)
3) i can't go out 'coz i don't wanna get drenched
4) i hate staying indoors when i've had plans outside
5) i usually get attacked by my asthma on cold season

so, those were my reasons then. Silly aren't they? But i also have good insights about the rain though.

*family bonding (movie marathon and the like)
*Mom doesn't have to water her plants anymore
*if chores requires being outside, then it's cancelled for you and is then assigned to the keeper (haha!)
*it's nice to eat sweets when it's cold..i just dunno why
*i love to sleep..Zzzz

oh well, rain isn't so bad afterall. but since i just lost my umbrella (my 7th one i think since my 1st yr in the university), i'll have to buy a new one..again. how much will it cost me again? my papa is no longer giving me extra money for this (how many times have i asked for a lost/broken umbrella? oh i dunno). now mama tells me not to lost it if i am able to get a new one (she's told me that several times already. i have a few choices in mind. i hope you could help me choose.

-buy a cheap one, like those that cost a 100 or less
-look for missing umbrellas and claim it! Hah!
-get one of those long and big umbrellas at home
-share a common umbrella to my roomie (she has one and we live in the same room anyway)
-buy an automatic one (i've been always fond of them)
-none of the above

weee..i hope i'll be able to figure out what to do SOON..the rainy days ain't over yet i may say.
