12 Silly Things That My Husband And I Would Like To Try Doing When It Rains

Posted by Joshua at 1:44 am

1. Go to the window, open it slightly and listen to the pitter-pattering of the rain on the rooftop. Then think of a good melody and compose a rap song thereafter. Whoever finishes first, wins!

2. Bring our huge umbrella outside and practically sing and dance in the rain.

3. Walk barefoot on the ground and feel the wet grass underneath our feet.

4. Run wildly in the rain and bathe in it (with clothes on, of course). Or else we’ll start to get really infamous with the authorities.

5. Ride a bicycle and go free wheeling making little splashes around us. Just make sure that no one is around when you do that. They might not like their clothes getting splashed on with dirty water you know.

6. Play in the mud puddle. I have yet to introduce this to my hubby. I used to do this a lot when I was still a kid. Even though my mom forbade me not to do it because of the possible bacteria and germs that I might contract from the murky water. But I was just a real foolhardy kid and I played on anyway whenever my mom wasn’t around that is. It was loads of fun!

7. Start forming “mud balls” (our very own version of snow balls because we don’t have snow in the Philippines) and start a “mud ball” fight!

8. When we’re done outside, we’ll take a hot shower and curl-up on our couch with our bathrobes and fluffy bunny slippers on then put some popcorn in the microwave and watch some really old mushy flick like An Affair to Remember. We both love this film! Don’t you think its how romance should be?

9. We’ll eat hot champorado (sweet chocolate rice porridge in Filipino cuisine. It is traditionally made by boiling sticky rice and cocoa powder). The taste is heavenly especially if you’d eat it with tuyo (dried Philippine fish). My stomach’s growling now and it’s almost 2 AM. Houston we got a problem!

10. Play our favorite game of Scrabble while blindfolded. Poor thing, he never won even a single regular game with me. Okay, I’d let him win the blindfolded version so he’ll start feeling good about himself again, haha!

11. A re-match with our thumb wrestling. “No tag teams please, that’s considered cheating” he always tells me. But I never listened to him and he still gets to win all the time. Life’s so unfair!

12. Amuse ourselves with a game of barrel of monkeys with a twist. Instead of just 12 monkeys, we’ll use 20 while doing the limbo rock. Sounds really challenging huh?

P.S. Can’t wait for the rainy season to kick-off and to send off the dry season.
