I remember a distant memory wherein my family went to Yogyakarta to see the famed Borobudur Temple. It was raining and the temple grounds were slippery. Some of the stone slabs would shift and slide as you step on it. Intricate carvings of illustrations of Buddhist/Indian principles were slowly chipping away. As you go higher, what seemed like bell-shaped structures had figures of monks in lotus position inside them. It looked so real and yet, something that is out of this world.
It took us about 15 minutes climbing the whole structure. And when we got to the top, I didn't realize I had let go of my umbrella until I felt the rain soaking me. The view was spectacular. Being the tallest structure within miles, I could feel myself gaping with awe at the four corners of that earth I had created in that single moment.
It had seemed I could not take everything.
My thoughts and voice lay huddled in the corner of my mind. I could only stand still and watch the view unfold before my very eyes. It was breathtaking, yet terribly overwhelming. I had felt like I am on top and at the center of the world. My knees were shaking not only because of the bitter cold but because I felt this sense of 'lula'. My whole being lay powerless and at the mercy of this vast space. What I had been feeling wouldn't even come close to what a Divine and Absolute Being feel.
That feeling I haven't felt eversince... and I'm craving for this tremendous and uncanny euphoria. Right now I feel bound. Bound by society's rules and norms.
I wish to be free.

Raindrops and Sweatdrops
Today, it rained. It rained the whole day. I thank God there was no wind, just water from the skies. A blessing.
This weekend, my sister and I, together with my highschool friends, Kim and Paolo...and my sis's friends, Judith, Karla and PK, went to UP AME. We went cosplaying...again! ^_^
This time, I decided to use my Tifa outfit. I had this notion that the place will be very hot. My Lacus costume was toasty! I wasn't much of in a cosplay mood. My sister had a group while I cosplayed alone. Talk about being deviant! I was the only character from that anime/game! It was too bad that my camera died in the middle of the catwalk. In a while, I'll be off to leech some of the people's pics. For my personal use of course and not to post them anywhere!
After the group skits, we ate at World Topps in Katipunan. I miss that place! We then dropped Kim and Paolo off at Kim's place and dropped Judith at her place. We got home around 11pm. *drops dead on the bed*.
Today, we Anne and I were a bit stressed from the DSL connection and the router. For some reason, the connection's very messed up. It keeps on fluctuating so I'm not able to leech manga from MIRC--> your connection should be steady coz the downloading stops when the connection's on and off.
Anyway, I'm still thinking about getting my own DSL connection, which the company will pay for by mid-next year. But for the meantime, I have to pay for it. Anyway, that's still undecided.
This Tuesday, we'll be having our company Christmas party and I was foolish enough to be part of the dance troupe... akala ko lang for fun! I didn't know all of them were really good dancers. Thank god for Arnie's mask and my position behind the curtain! ^_^
