I went for a walk in the rain. Recently, whenever it rains, I feel like I want to go for a walk.

I grew up with tarot cards and the reading of tea leaves.

I'm more a dog person than a cat person.

If you consider the contribution of plumbing to human life, the other sciences fade into insignificance.

Happiness is rarely absent; it is we that know not of its presence.

Some people might think Rain is the superstar or super successful, but I am someone who always sets new goals and tries to accomplish them.

I just want to keep things going. I just love testing myself.
