It's actually raining here in LA, the land of drought...or so they say since December. What I love about a rainy day is staying inside my house/apartment/dorm, looking at the cloudy day outside my window while the rain falls. It just gives that feeling of comfort. Plus, there are just some songs that go so well with a rainy day. So here I am, on my bed, listening to the OST of Boys Over Flowers and it reminds me of the time I finished watching that K-Drama in freshman year and listened to the soundtrack while I traveled to the Philippines.
Maybe it was my lingering feelings about the show that made it extra special, or maybe it was the fact that I got to see another part of the Philippines that made the music feel more fitting. It's been 5 years since the summer of 2009, but the memories that I associate with the songs are still alive. The jeepney rides, the extreme heat, the beach where we walked on whatever-object-it-was-on-the-ocean and screamed our lungs out, the dance classes, and feeling wet most of the time from the sweat, the pool water, or the ocean. Isn't it neat how some songs can bring up certain memories that you thought were gone forever?
I miss the Philippines. I miss how happy all my visits there were. The vibe of all the different locations, the people I've met and and hung out with, and maybe the fact that at certain points in time, my life actually seemed like a Korean Drama.
Rainy days and rainy-day-songs. Let all the feels begin.
