this morning, a bunch of moon beings gathered to witness the total solar eclipse. like last time, they prepared anti uv coated scopes as they waited for the shadow of the earth to obliterate the sun from their view. this eclipse is said to be the longest one ever, lasting for more than 1 and a half decan star.

revelries were at hand as a lot of myths and traditions are recollected. it was said that during this time, the moon looks blood red from the earth, and humans in different parts of the planet do weird things. it is believed that the moon has a great effect on this planet and its people, however moon beings neither notice nor care about it.

the next tse is predicted to happen 177 solar days from now.

in 10 days, i visited 6 cities - seattle, hong kong, manila, cebu, bohol and seoul. now i'm back in vancouver and my week long vacation feels so many miles away. i slept for an entire day and tomorrow i'll be back to work, as if nothing happened, the only souvenir i got are sunburn marks and eyebags.

sometimes i wish i could take people back with me but then that would defeat the purpose of travelling, for the only reason i leave a place is to come home to it again =) i miss my mom, my dad, my brothers, my friends, my dogs, but most of all, i miss being missed, and hugged and loved by the people who matter to me, i miss my favorite pup running out to greet me, i miss my mom's cooking, i miss the sun and the beach, i miss everything that can only be captured by still photographs.

if only time and distance can be folded, then everything won't be too far from my reach. for now, i have to tuck my heart and fake a smile, life is a journey, we can only stop for a while to catch our breath, and then we're off again.

okay, so what's the hype with this notebook? they said this was the legendary oil skinned acid free stitched paper that hemmingway and picasso used, so what? will this make me a better writer or painter?

i don't know, but i got one anyway, don't take chances, right? haha ^_^ nah curiosity just got the better of me and i just had to have one, now all i need is my trusty staedtler hb and i'm all set to write the greatest event of my life.

whatever. moving on..
