We only have two seasons here in the Philippines - the hot and the wet. Ok, that just sounded dirty, but you've got the point. And right now, we're smack in the middle of the wet rainy season! So don't forget you're umbrellas.. you never know when the rain's going to pour! Cris and Mickey talk about rain, umbrellas and death, as Jov chimes in with his cultural insights.

A: Umuulan! Umuulan!
B: Hala! Wala akong payong!
A: Patay ka! Umuulan! Umuulan!
B: Oo na! Oo na! Patay ako! PATAY AKO!

A: It’s raining! It’s raining!
B: Oh no! I don’t have an umbrella!
A: You’re dead! It’s raining! It’s raining!
B: Yeah! Yeah! I’m dead! I’m dead!
