Our Italian content partner asked me these questions:

If there is anything that can help us to get further insight on what the rain season represents for pilipinos, that would be great.
In many countries rain is perceived like a drag, and understanding how the season is perceived would be of help.

Mind boggling for those who live most of their lives in a tropical country, where there are only 2 seasons. Rain or Shine. I couldn't gather any insight as I perceive rain as just part of our daily lives. Its summer now but its been raining the past 2 days. Its that weird getting asked that question. Its like getting asked by a sociology student for a thesis paper.

The first thing that came to mind was "wet feet." Stacey said rainy season depresses her because she remembers when she was still a kid, her parents wouldn't let her out of the house.
But today, since its raining, it means she's gonna get wet because she doesn't have an umbrella. Haha :)

Rain is romantic, as we've seen in countless movies and tv shows. Sharing an umbrella. Kissing in the rain. You know the drill.

Rainy season though may mean power outage, floods, and water-borne diseases. Rainy season here in the country is beneficial to the grade school and high school students as they almost always don't have classes when there is a typhoon visiting the country. Haha :)

Rainy season is not something as we look forward to like how people look forward to having snow or the change of color of the leaves come autumn or the bloom of the flowers come spring. Its not a sight to see nor an event to get excited with.

At least, it got me to thinking outside the daily grind of work haha :)

So what's your insight on the rainy season? :)
