it's a rainy friday evening. b and i are soaking in the tub, losing ourselves in the sweet aroma of the body shop's vanilla bubble bath. with lighted candles all around, the next 30 minutes were spent in blissful oblivion.

after that relaxing bath, i went to the kitchen and prepared a pot of hot chamomile tea with the sound of annie lennox's waiting in vain (and the rest of the serendipity soundtrack) in the background. i am in such a laidback mood today because of the weather (and the bubble bath!). except from the hassle of going out with umbrella, battling with the puddles of water slash mud all around and the set of flood-landslide-disease catastrophe that it brings (lucky for me who lives in the south of metro manila, our drainage system has been working perfectly fine so i haven't had to deal with these), i have always loved rain. primarily because b and i have a number of special memories with this particular weather condition. memories which i call the "rain spells".

back in the lounge room, b opened up the drapes in one of our pad's floor to ceiling window then piled a bunch of my fluffy pillows collection beside it. we sat there sipping tea from our cute teenie tea cups that we recently bought from starbucks, watching the breathtaking makati skyline get drenched in the rain. reminiscing of this wonderful rainy friday night gimmick we once had, we wished we could go back to that time and relive the moment.

*poof*

suddenly here we are at July 14, 2006 11:56 pm. b and i are hanging out at an outdoor coffee shop watching the rain and whiffing up the breeze from the nearby sea. we've just had another wonderful day to add to our "rain spells" and we can't help but visualize more moments like this in the future.
