Freedom.......has a most peculiar taste to it

Everyone is still having their finals, making me the only restless soul jumping around the house. So after being glared and cursed at a million times, I decided to take my “noise” outside. The last time I stepped into my backyard would be on Hashim’s birthday when I was da official Dj (I seriously don’t know what eight year olds find so captivating in papichulo. So there, for those wondering....it wasn’t me!).

There is this huge tree there, right next to the little cheeko plant little Hashim again insisted on getting planted. It was around sunset. The tree stood gleaming in the golden light pouring through it, just a little on the top, accentuating the orange and mustard taking over the leaves as they burnt under the sun. Below, the palette blended from an olive to apple green, as the shade became thicker near the ground....It was just amazing.

I’ve always been quite a nature person, but it’s just been so long since I actually got time to breathe and even acknowledge the existence of er…trees. What a killer quarter. But you get such a high when you think of how much you’ve been doing. And not just sitting around wasting your life like many others you see around, rotting in their never-ending tales of gossip and slaughter.

However, now that I do have a break. I don’t know what to do! I’ve eaten at all the restaurants imaginable already. I’ve shopped like crazy. All the heart-to-heart updates done with....umm..so now what? Yes….I have realized. I am not one to sit at home. It is unbelievable how much I carved for a week of simple couch-potato-ing. But now that I have it. I cant do it, bas! ...Maybe its just the fact that it was a Sunday, there was no driver at home, my dad doesn’t trust the world with my driving just yet! *argh* and..hmmm..that should explain it. Now that I think of it. I know what I’m gonna do. Oh come on. How can anyone ever get sick of eating or shopping? ;) hehe

I used to think I’m psychic. But I’m loosing my telepathic powers. They weren’t working today....They cant abandon me. I am most certain, the power shall return. I await thee! *lightening crackling in the background*

Hey. I didn’t ask for it to rain.

Is it the clouds that rain on you? Or you who let it fall upon you and soak you until your just so drenched, you don’t miss being dry? What you were holding back, just washed away with it, all the shadows engulfing the spirit...

....Smell the freedom?
