CEBU CITY, Philippines—The rain gives us the sense of calmness we sometimes don’t know we needed.
Each raindrop somehow represents our emotions, a circumstance, or a memory.
The rain after the drought is such a blessing.
Just like in our lives, we can look at the rainy season as a downtime.
Let the rainy season give you some time to cool down and just enjoy the comforts of your home.
Revisit old hobbies
This may be the time for you to catch up on that book you’ve been placing on the side of your bed for months. This can also be the time to rekindle the hobbies you had before time was crazy. Open that cabinet you have inside your room and see what else you can do to hit those nostalgic feels.
DIY home improvements
Inspect your home for necessary upgrades or create a fresh new look. It could be rearranging your room, decluttering your mom’s room, or starting an indoor garden.
