When a childhood dream doesn't get fulfilled, it often becomes an adult's frustration. I still have quite a number of unfulfilled frustrations on my list - visit any of the Disneylands for example - but let me tell you one that I have accomplished recently - in excess!: I watched a freakin’ meteor shower.
Last night, I ran out of wishes as stars - actually
meteorites - fell from the skies like a soft drizzle form an imminent rain.
Picture this: I laid out my tent on the ground - I was too lazy to set it up
and I thought it would serve a great mat. I cuddled myself myself like a spring roll inside my warm and comfy
sleeping bag. I lied down, facing the sky. The sky is dotted by uncountable
stars – I don’t remember seeing this many stars before. With my viewing deck
completely set, I waited for the anticipated meteor shower. I wasn't in some
fancy observatory though. My naked eyes were treated with a great show at Mt.
Batulao. Hayahay ang buhay!
