Rain.

      Hello. It is raining these days and it makes me really frustrated. I bet you cannot imagine how much I despise rain. I'm sick of it as much as I'm to those PACHINKO around in the city. Let me show you how much I hate rain by telling this little story happened when I was about 15.

     When I was 15, as I mentioned in my previous post, I was living in Taipei. Taipei is famous for it's rainy season around the end of May to the beginning of June. Accordingly, bringing an umbrella with you all the time around the rainy season is really a common sense. One day, I was supposed to hang out with my friends to watch a movie. I checked the weather forecast the previous day and it said it was going to rain. Though it made me down a little bit, however I could accept that fact as it was in the middle of the rainy season. The following day, I brought my umbrella with me and went out of home. What happened next was really unacceptable and ridiculous. IT WAS COMPLETELY SUNNY. NO CLOUD. I couldn't believe it. I had never seen that kind of perfect sunny day before. It even reminded me of the sky which I had seen in Hawaii a long time ago. I stopped walking and stand for a while. Then I felt something burning in my heart. I immediately recognized what exactly it was. It was hatred. It was loathing. It was this enormous hatred against the weather forecast. I couldn't believe that they just screwed up. I bet there were so many people like me that believed the forecast. Soon afterward, I came up with a simple question in my mind, an easy question which contained hatred and paradox. WHY AM I HOLDING THIS STUPID UMBRELLA WITH ME UNDER THIS PERFECT SUNNY DAY? I was screwed up and so was the weather forecast. After stopping on the street for about a minute, I decided to accomplish a great achievement which was to break my umbrella. Since there weren't any people on the street except me, it was really easy and comfortable for me to achieve this mission. I raised my umbrella as high as I could, and smashed it as hard as I could right on the guardrail. It was such a stunning sensation. It was like drinking a bottle of fine beer with your buddy after a long work. The umbrella broke into two. After smashing it, I left the umbrella there and walked to the movie theater.

     This was what happened when I was 15 and I hope now,  you can imagine how much I hate rain and screwed up weather forecast. Since it is raining these days, I stay home and watch DVDs. Let me introduce a nice film which is played by Natalie Portman and Jean Reno. "Leon". I'll put the trailer below and the movie poster. I hope you can watch it.
