Here comes the rain

Welcome June. The summer season is finally over thank God. Now it’s time to bring out your puffer coats, rain boots and umbrellas, spring on. 

I have to put off my travel plans for now because of torrential rains and the recent turmoil our world is currently facing. I am feeling woeful about the terrorist attack in Ariana Grande’s recently concluded concert in Manchester, the crisis in Marawi (Mindanao), bombings in Thailand and Indonesia to name a few. I couldn’t wrap my head around why some people commit acts of evil. There are days when I skip Twitter because of tragic and sad news I read pretty much everyday and all I could do is pray and hope for things to be better as it’s already on a global scale. Anyways, going back, the month of June, aside from the downpour is also the month of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus, National Awareness and the start of summer season in the U.S.

rainy season it is...

June Solstice is set on the 21st,  the days longer and the nights shorter in countries located on the Northern Hemisphere whilst Winter Soltice on the Southern Hemisphere. As for myself, I just want the sun beam in the morning and for the temperature to cool down the rest of the day because I’m done with summer. I would prefer a hot frothy macha tea, a good book or movie while the rain trickles outside. 

Reading time...

I just bought my e-book copy of Lang Leav's Sad Girls and eleven other e-books yesterday to keep me busy. I think June is for reading books and to snuggle with my cat, he hates the rain.

Welcome June, Rainy Days and Music.

Yes indeed, rainy days are here again thus the best time to chill, drink something warm, some porridge, read a book, sip coffee, hot choco or tea. Last but not least sound trippin.

Few months ago, a love sick friend of mine (who's in love with the thought of being in love I guess after a nightmarish kinda thing) told me to listen to Ed Sheeran's 'Kiss Me' track being her recent LSS (last song syndrome). I was a little apprehensive at first being an indie rock music fanatic. At the back of my mind I was like Oh-kay...this is another cheesy love song I bet since I am from a different realm, the NOT normal realm. But then I am a music lover and music is supposedly diverse, no holds barred. I went ahead and listened to Ed Sheeran and I was surprised with this british singer's soothing, cold as ice voice. His music isn't superficial like those other pop music you hear over local airwaves. He was actually brilliant. He just kept getting more and more popular and I should say he so well deserve it. His music brought my diminishing trust back to pop music because of the so many crappy pop songs out there. Ed Sheeran's music is like a gem you rarely found nowadays. A breathe of fresh air.

Let me share quite a few of my fave Ed Sheeran songs.

• Thinking Out Loud - I overheard him perform this unplugged on TV whilst having lunch at the office pantry and I was blown away. I stayed a little while and listened to him sing.

• Kiss Me - You'll fall in love listening to this.

• The A Team - Who says he only sings love songs? another brilliant song from a brilliant song writer.
