Hello my friends, it's a raining season in my region. I like raining day because i won't feel that hot. But i don't like to go out during the raining day as we don't have a car, so it's quite inconvenient and uncomfortable to wait for the bus or taxi in such a heavy rain. So, normally i will just cancel my plan to go out and stay at home. What about you? Do you still go out during a raining day or will you cancel your plan? I appreciate your response and thanks in advance.

If the plan was an important one then I will have to go out even if it is raining very very heavy but might contact the person to tell I'll be a bit late because of the heavy rain. If the plan was not important for example like going out to visit a friend or doing grocery shopping, then I would cancel it and just stay home and make plans for another day. On the whole, I prefer and like to stay home when it is raining. Enjoy the comfort of my home without getting wet and away from all the traffic jams. I work from home so most of the time I am home.

Thanks for adding me as a friend. Wow... you are a music teacher, that's really cool. Which type of music are you teaching? Tupperware? It is a brand, right? My mom bought alot of tupperware before and there are tupperware everywhere in the kitchen. It's a good brand.

i usually cancel my schedule during rainy season. its really inconvenient to go out during rainy season aside to that people are getting prone to diseases like colds, cough and fever. if the appointment is really urgent and important i can go even if its raining but if the activity is not that important i prefer to cancel it. your right its also hard to look for a cab or taxi as well as its annoying that you will get wet.

yeah it is better to be home during rainy season. though its a bit boring sometimes but this is safe rather than staying outside. it is also annoying to get yourself dried up when you got wet. aside to that its hard to get dress during rainy season hahahaha...

You are right, i really hate to get wet just because of waiting for the bus or taxi, and it's so cold. I normally just cancel my leisure plan with my husband. For those appointments with my friends or important plan, normally i still go out during the raining day as they will come and pick us up.

If I have important plans during a rainy day, I have to go outside. It's not particular fun for me to do but my little brothers love splashing around in the giant puddles when I have to run errands. I don't have a car so I usually walk or take a bus.

When i was small, i was also like your little brother, it's kind of fun for me at that time. I will go on my plan as well if it's important. Normally i just cancel my personal leisure plan. Thanks for the response and have a nice day.

if it is work then i dont have much of a choice. i still need to go out even if it is raining. if it is also for a meeting or i will meet someone that has to do something with work then i cant cancel it. if we need to go to the supermarket or grocery then i can cancel it. as long as it is not that important i cancel it. the one thing that i can not cancel is when my child wants something that i need to buy outside then i go out. its okay i love doing that for my child and i love biking under the rain.

Hi, se7enthbird. Thank you for the response. I'm sure that you are a good father and i can see from your writing, you love your child very much. My father did this to us all the time when we were small, when we wanted something, my father will always fulfil our needs. Have a nice day!

Since I am a business man,I can't cancel any plans.I have to execute my plans at any cost and rain should not be an excuse for me.So,usually I put on my rain coat,mount my bike and go to my duties.It will be somewhat different to work still under rain and I love to enjoy it.Moreover you are likely to see people more happy in a rainy day and I never like to miss them in that mood.Cheers!

I understand that raining is not an excuse for business men to cancel their plans. I'm happy you enjoy the raining day and feeling the happiness of people under the rain. To be honest, i have never seen people showing their happy face under the rain while waiting for bus or taxi. They just have no expressions at all. Thanks for your response and have a nice day!

I will still go on with my plan though it's raining. It's also quite fun to stay outside during rainy days. I enjoy the cold air,and enjoy wearing my sweater. If I made my plan, I want to attain it rain or shine. I'll just bring my umbrella for protection and wear proper clothes to keep me comfortable and warm even it is raining. It's fun going out...and wade in the water for some time...(^,^)

Hello Ladybugs, i live in Malaysia so the temperature is quite hot everyday (around 30 degrees). In the rain it's good because it cools down and afterwards it has 5 degrees less. That's what i like the most... heat is away and then you can breath the cleaner air because the polution has been washed away. Have a nice weekend!

I like rainy weather, they say, if you like such a weather, you are feeling sad, and this is not true for me, because I feel happy when the rain start, and I like to go out and I won't cancel my plans. It has to do with personality, and the plans itself if it is important or not.

It is true for some people, they do get affected by the weather changes. I like raining too, and i won't get moody or sad by that. You know what, for me it's really a good time to have a sleep during the raining day, especially in the morning, i find it i can sleep very well. Thanks for the response and have a nice day.

I enjoy walking in the rain. I have always liked it (unless it is too cold of a rain). If it were a light rain I would absolutely go out in it. Stand or walk with an umbrella. I have never cancelled plans because of rain. Since you have to stand to wait for taxi or bus if it were a cold heavy rain, I can understand your point when it is a hard rain and windy or cold, etc. not fun!

Hi There. It really depends. We love to go to amusement park with my friends but when it really keeps on raining, we will have to cancel it but when it comes to outing like going out of town that doesn’t really require airplanes or ship/boat then we don’t cancel our plan as much as possible since it is already planned. One thing that I just hate when raining, it is the traffic here in the Philippines! Happy Holidays! And Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

Hi, jesbellaine. Thanks for the response. Ya, i hate the traffic here too during the raining day. I remember when i was in high school, my father used to fetch me after class in the evening, then if it's raining heavily, i really couldn't imagine what time we would arrive at home. It at least took us 2 hours get stuck in the traffic. I think the person who suffered was my father because it's a manual car. I suppose his legs must be very tired. Luckily he did not get any cramp afterwards. Happy holidays to you too and have a nice day!!

Well i am ready to go out side while raining but it's all depends on the rain. If the rain is slowly then i can go and enjoy the situation but if it is heavy rain then it's really bad thing and not to go out. Happy mylotting.

Hi, chandu. Ya, it's not totally not fun when going out during such a heavy rainny day. I'd rather stay at home if nothing important. Home is always the most comfortable place for us. Happy mylotting and thanks for your response.

it depends on the situation. if my purpose of going out is like an outdoor thing that i will cancel it, but if not then i will go out as planned. i have this attitude that once i planned it should be done. i don't know if this is a good attitude to have. what do you think?

Hi, thanks for your response. I believe there is no good or bad about this attitude, as every one has their own principles. For myself, i'm more flexible, it all depends on the plans and situations. But for sure, it it's too extreme, then it could affect the persons around me.

No I don't go outside. I prefer to stay inside and watch the rain from inside. I hate driving in floods of water. Our roads are not that good and it is risky driving when raining.

If I have made a promise raining or not, I will always keep that promise unless the other person calls and says to cancel. I think it is important to self and others to keep commitments once made. If the other person wants to cancel that is fine with me though.. :-) Derek

Hi friends, Oh the rain. I cannot stand a rainy day. I find it very depressing. Not only that, I cannot stand the feel of rain on my skin or my head. Thats why you'd never catch taking a shower. I don't know what it is, I just cannot stand the feel of drops of water falling on me. I know, I'm weird. Cheers, Cheryl

It depends on the activity. I usually cannot cancel my activities when it is part of my job. Since one of my job is to conduct training, it would be difficult for me to cancel even during rainy days since people would be waiting for me. Basically there are those that are not so important like personal activities such as shopping and other leisure activities that I do cancel in the event of rain.

No matter it is rain or shine, I will still keep ahead with my plan. I am a very strict person when come to time and planning. If someone cancel an appointment with me due to raining, I will lost confidence towards him/her. This show that because of inconvenience or uncomfortable, he/she just cancel it. If he/she take the effort to come for the appointment, he/she will gain more trust and confidence from me and this person can be reliable. So never cancel plan. Rain or shine, just try your best to make it.
