As I peeked outside the window, a drop of water dived on my face. I looked up and saw the dumps of the sky. Dark, gray and loaded clouds were like rushing as if it was a race. Then once again, a drop of water fell on my face… and then it finally rained.

I was just wondering… why does it rain? Err… please don’t give me a scientific reason behind it that I read in our Collier’s Encyclopedia agesss ago. I mean, what is the purpose of rain? Does it give a message to everyone? Does it rain as a sign of blessing from our Heavenly Father? Or does it rain to punish the sinners? Or does it rain because St. Peter has to pee? Oh my… where in the world did I get that idea? Hmm… does it rain to mask our tears produced by our lacrimal glands?

While staring at the continuous shower of the acid rain, memories keep on flashing back. I remember every kind of problems I encountered and still encounter in my life. I know that every problem has corresponding solution. All you have to do is to have the courage to face and solve it by yourself. If you can’t do it on your own, there’s nothing wrong in asking for someone’s help. Right? I know that all dilemmas we bump into are duplicated with a purpose - a certain purpose that we may not know from the start but will be realized in the end. These are just obstacles in our life that makes us a better person. No one in this world lived in a perfect life. No story was made without conflicts. We all live in a world where we hit mistakes. And those mistakes leave learning experiences that we will just look back in the future and proudly say, “Hey! I finished the race!” Just think of this, if World War II came to an end, why can’t your problems, right? Man, believe in yourself. You’ll get through it. I know you can and will do it. *wink*

Now I know why it rains. It rains to send us a message that there’s always a rainbow waiting in the end. Don’t you get excited that after the rain runs down; you’ll just choose which color to slide down on the rainbow to reach that pot of gold?
