It's Rainin' in KSA!

This may seem exaggerated, but I really felt extremely excited when I have seen the group of dark clouds forming in the vast blue sky. For a first-timer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia like me, it can't be helped but be happy when the rain falls. It is almost a year now that I have been living here but I haven't experienced rain here yet.

I was supposed to sleep because I came from my graveyard shift, but I waited for the rain to fall. I didn't even lied down on my bed even if my body is urging me to do so. Unfortunately, darkness has enveloped the whole city but no drops of rain fell. Until it was time for me to go out to meet my bestfriend ate May who works two cities away from me. I left home with the hope that I will be able to see the rain fall. 

And there, while we were waiting for a taxi when we're about to go home, the first drop of rain hit me in my face. I cannot help but put on a big smile. For a while, I hesitated to ride the taxi that stopped in front of us and just play in the rain just like before when I was still in our province. I was already in college then but I still played in the rain with my little sisters and brothers. It feels so good to feel the rain dropping on your face and feel the cold water dripping off your clothes. If not for the taxi waiting for us to ride and my companion's eagerness to go home so that she can still iron her uniform for tomorrow's work, I might be able to feel even just a little more raindrop on my face.

The first rain I have experienced since I arrived nine months ago.. :)

We were already inside the car when the rain poured itself uncontrollably, and I cannot help but take some photos.

I hope I can be able to bathe in the rain again, just like the good old days.

Crossed fingers.

And crossed toes.
