Summer's Goodbye
Today was such a breezy day outside. It was almost gloomy, but not. Am I making any sense? No. I guess not.
Next to those cloudy days, breezy days are my favorite. It wasn't too windy nor was it too hot. It was almost as if someone was fanning you with a paper fan.
The wind was so calming, I couldn't help but open every window in the house. I layed down on our bed which is next to a window and just layed there, and I pretended I was back home in the Philippines. When I was a kid, my mom would put me to sleep in this open hut in front of our house. We lived out in the probinsya (country side) so the air was always fresh and clean. I remember right before I would fall asleep, I would feel the wind blowing into my hair, slowly lulling me to nappy land. And it was such a soothing feeling. Makes me wanna build a hut in our backyard.
Anyway, back to the present. Asides to the tranquilizing feeling that nearly put me to sleep, I felt kinda sad at the same time because I can see that Summer is about to say goodbye yet again. Even though Autumn is my favorite season, I don't mind Summer, especially when it's not too hot outside. *sigh* And next thing you know, they'll be snow on the ground again and we'll all be wearing seven freakin' layers of sweaters just to keep warm. I hate Winter. I hate being cold. I hate getting shoved in the snow...by Jun. But Chei loves Winter. She can't get enough of the snow. She could eat snow if I let her. But again, I hate Winter.
I hope tomorrow is another breezy day.
These are the flowers that Chei handpicked for me from my mom's garden yesterday. Would you believe me if I said that she is the FIRST AND ONLY person who has ever given me flowers? Yup. Even her dad has never given me flowers or roses. And no, the plastic flowers he gave me three years ago does not count, regardless of his stupid excuse which was something like, "My feelings for you will never die, just like these (plastic) flowers. They'll collect dust yes, but at least you know they will never wilt away. And you don't ever have to water them either! I love you. *wink wink*"
Like I keep asking myself...how'd I end up so lucky?
