Hori7on is my happy pill during rainy days
By: @blessie2000

I always listened to Friend-SHIP because it contains the song of Hori7on and since it is rainy season now this is the perfect time to listen to their music. I became a fan because I witnessed their journey to the survival show Dream Maker in ABS-CBN. Their song is written in English, Korean, and Filipino which is why I love their music.

When It Rains: My Playlist and Comfort Food During Rainy Days
By: @ruffatotmeee

But you know, when it rains, there are really a lot of things that are perfect for that kind of weather, things to do, I mean. There are times that I have the urge to bathe in the rain, just like in the old days, but I'm afraid I might catch a cold later. Even though the urge is strong, just the thought that I might get a cold because of it is enough to stop me from doing that. I just really hate getting sick, that's all.

Ikaw at ang Ulan
By: @carisdaneym

Sa pagmulat ng aking mga mata, ang tunog ng malakas na pagbuhos ng ulan ay maihahalintulad sa damdamin na aking nadarama. Tila yata mapaglaro ang panahon sapagkat ito ay umaayon sa bugso ng aking emosyon. Hindi ko maiintindihan kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay labis ang aking pagdurusa. Sinusubukang limutin ang mga alaala ng ating pagsasama subalit ang hirap unawain kung bakit kung kailangang tayo ay paglayuin ng tadhana.

Ang mapait kong karanasan tuwing tag-ulan
By: @mitch18

"Rain is a blessing"
Yan ang masasab ng ibang tao but some people are struggling especially those people who lives near at some flood prones area.And for some people who faces different problems during rainy days.
I am one of those who felt sad during rainy seasons back then for the different reasons.

Ulan Ng Pag-asa
By: @deythedevil

Isang araw, biglang umulan ng malakas. Umupo ako sa lapag ng pintuan namin habang pinapanood ung ulan. Katabi ko pa ung aso nmin nun, nagtataka siguro kung bakit andun ako at kung ano ung pinapanood ko. Then, parang bigla na lang ako nag imagine sa kung ano ang nararamdaman ng mga magsasaka sa oras na un. Bigla kong naisip gumawa ng kanta sa sobrang dami kong naiisip sa mga oras na un. Kinuha ko ung ukulele at notebook ko ng mga kanta. Saka ako tumipa at nagsimulang sumulat ng mga liriko. After nung ulan, tapos ko na ung kanta. Nilinis ko na lang at nilagyan ng mas angkop na mga salita. Nagulat ako dahil wala pang isang oras, natapos ko na ung kanta.
At masaya naman ako sa naging resulta.

Rain rain go Away! or Stay for a While? 😁
By: @me2selah

I don't know why but the rain can bring back memories. Do you agree? Whenever it rains, I am reminded of my childhood. Both happy and not-so-happy memories. When I was little, I don't really like it when it rains. As far as I can remember, I would always want it to stop for the reason that our house roof is dripping. 😀 There were holes in our roof that made some portion of our house wet.

Kdrama Feels
By: @dpmeriam

I have many memories of the rainy season since I was young until now. But I decided to share with you my memory of my first ultimate crush when I was a teenager.
Our neighbour's house, which is right next to our house, they have a handsome nephew who is not only handsome but also kind, responsible, diligent in household chores and smart.

Under The Heavy Rain Without Getting Wet, How's That?
By: @lytha

We noticed there were dark clouds and so we were expecting there will be heavy rain again at any moment. A few minutes later it began to rain until it became so heavy causing much traffic and flooding where some cars were submerged halfway in the water. While in the car, we could feel the strong splash coming from other vehicles as they wade through the water. It was as if we were riding a boat on a shallow sea.

Rainy Days and Innocence
By: @alliebee

As a child, heavy rains may mean two things; cancellation of classes if it's too heavy to go to school, or finally being able to use my Powerpuff Girls raincoat and flex it to my classmates. Of course, cancellation of classes thrills me more than using mg PPG raincoat!
Cancellation of classes means I would get to watch my favorite TV shows without looking up at the clock from time to time. Oh what a joy to just watch Doraemon, Powerpuff Girls (obviously), Sugar Sugar Rune, and many more! I could go on and make an entire list of TV shows that I would love to watch at home when classes are suspended.

MEMORIES IN THE RAIN TIME: RAINY SEASON
By: @fire.phoenix

One of the most memorable chilhood memories I have in rainy days is showering and eating some of my favorite foods after showering. Everytime I was sitting in our balcony (grandparents house) and it was suddenly rained. I hurriedly change my clothes into the clothes-for-bath-one and then went to the rain to take a shower. I, my younger sister, and my nearby friends at our place always do that while playing some different kinds of "Pinoy" games like "Sekyu" and "Habul-habulan".

I am from Marikina and this is my Ondoy story
By: @devowriter

Whenever someone learns that I live in Marikina, one of the most predictable questions they throw at me is: “di ba bumabaha dun?” (it is flood-prone, right?) or “kumusta naman kayo nung Ondoy?” (how were you during the Typhoon Ondoy?”) These, and other Ondoy-related questions, seem to be a conversation starter if you ever cross paths with a Marikeno.
For context, Marikina City is a valley, adjacent to the Sierra Madre mountain ranges occupied by several towns of Rizal province. We are a catch basin of water from Montalban and Antipolo.

And here are the winners!

3rd place goes to:
