Cats And Dogs, In Waves And Sheets

It's raining hard where I am, in Quezon City. Is it raining hard where you are? My contacts in downtown Manila say that it's pretty bad there, too.

To think that it's only mid-April, in what should be the peak of a Philippine summer.

I remember a summer's day when I was twelve. It was mid or late May, and I so wanted to play in a tennis tournament that afternoon when the rains unexpectedly hit, signaling the start of the rainy season. I can still taste my disappointment 'coz I had been playing well the past few days and I knew I had a good chance to win the tournament. That rainstorm ended all that. The tournament was cancelled.

But that was mid-May. This is mid-April.

Have all countries joined the Kyoto Protocol yet?

Good grief.
