Stars and Moon

We’ve been so euphoric last night.

I still couldn’t believe that we just missed to capture the beauty of the phenomenon last night. Well, we didn’t have any idea that those two misty looking eyes of the moon were the planets Jupiter and Venus.

Who would have thought of that? The sight of the phenomenon on the endless horizon was just so perfect; I have never seen anything like that in my entire life. And we just thought about it as a coincidence that it perfectly resembled a smiling face.

Colleen said that was probably one reason why we were so happy at that moment and i agreed with no particular reason at all. I couldn’t stop thinking about how we had noticed the intriguing positions of the stars and the moon and we even said “smiley” in chorus. To tell you we were all eight and we were so happy taking pictures outside Kenneth’s dormitory. We even said “let’s take a picture of that, let’s go on top of the dormitory and climb the steel bars.”

But unfortunately, there was something that had kept me from capturing the scenery. I had aimed to take a photograph of the view but then I would always stop and I would keep my camera away again. I would take another snap of the group and then aim at it for another shot but then every time I would try that, my attention would be distracted once more.

Back at Literature class a while ago, as our instructor had shared to us the phenomenon last night, we were all so ecstatic. We’ve seen it but then we’ve got no proof.

WE HAVE EACH OTHER AS A LIVING PROOF THAT WE HAD WITNESSED SUCH SPECIAL NIGHT TOGETHER.

As I’ve shared on my entry last night that I was so happy, yes, that was true. We were all so cheerful and that I could not even explain how happy I was. Immeasurable smiles had filled our stressed spirits. That was quite fun, for the past few days we had been staying up till dawn to finish paper works.

And last night, as we enjoyed the ambiance of the evening, aside from God who is watching over us, there’s one smiley face up at the firmament which made us feel like this group will be together and that they will stay friends forever.

A rare event, when will we see such thing again?

THE MEMORY WILL BE TREASURED; I WILL KEEP AS A PART OF ME FOREVER THE PEOPLE WHO WERE WITH ME UNDERNEATH THAT SMILING FACE LAST NIGHT.

Miles of Smiles

I was just so happy today. As I slept so late last night means I also woke up late today. But that wasn’t the real thought of my entry.

As I muse over what had just happened a few hours ago, I could not stop smiling and laughing as I stare at our photographs and videos together. There’s a certain bond, as what my friend have said, that connects us. It was funny to think that we had only known each other for about 6 months. For that small period of time we have learned to dislike things together and work as one for the benefit of our group.

We have our own unique personalities, before; individual differences had built gaps between us. But then as time went by, slowly we opened up ourselves to the changes and processes that are essential for our own development. We have experienced life together, as a group… AS A FAMILY.

I was glad to see that we’ve created a special bond which I hope would never be forgotten. We have a lot of photographs and they would serve as a reminder that in our search of our own purposes in life, we have experienced precious moments worth remembering.

So much for that, I was happy because a lot of people have touched my life and was inspiring me to work hard. I think some people don’t know that they’re one of my inspirations And because of them I’m starting to set objectives.

To end this, as I have lot of things to do rather than sit here all night and think; I wanted to share, THAT IN LIFE, YOU USUALLY NEVER FORGET THINGS, BUT YOU LEARN TO LIVE WITH THEM AS YOU GO ON WITH YOUR JOURNEY.

Scented parchments

It was already the crack of dawn and I was still awake, writing something about myself and about my world. Less than a month before Christmas, it had been a busy year for me and for everyone. I guessed busy wasn’t really the best word to explain the 11 months that had flied so fast. Frantic or probably toxic? I don’t know, so many things had happened within that span of time. It felt like it was just yesterday I was still trying to adjust with the new environment I had again.

I experienced a lot yet I was not saying I had experienced so much because I knew there are more things waiting ahead of me. I’ve developed into someone, not into something, hope worth keeping for. Driven by a lot of things in this world, I’ve tried to keep track of my life so as not to lose my way. Through life’s ups and downs I’m thankful I’ve managed to get through them.

~~Pardon me if I am being so shifty with my tenses as oftentimes I can’t manage to stick with one.~~

I remembered the times when it felt like it was the end of my world because of high expectations I couldn’t reach. There would be unexpected outburst of feelings and I would find myself crying at night. I was too preoccupied with stuffs I couldn’t get a grip of some of them now, so perhaps that was one of the reasons why I would just cry with unknown reasons.

Nostalgic. I tried to spread my wings for many opportunities. I got acquaintances and I’ve earned new friends while I couldn’t prevent others leaving their long time footprints behind and moving on. I was left to dwell on memories. They had changed me; they’re one of the reasons why I was like this now, when in fact I was totally different before. I didn’t know why I had let them change me into a person I couldn’t explain.

I think I am still melodramatic at times or perhaps you’ll say oftentimes, when writing blog entries like this. This isn’t the whole story of my life though, and somehow, I can not entrust my life with online blogs and journals so keeping it within myself would be the best choice I have.
