High Cost of Living

I don't really know what to write about these days but isn't that always the case?

Life puts a lot of things in your way. Some are like welcomed gifts yet some are like traffic along Katipunan at 7am in the morning - unbearable. I have always wondered if life had a pattern where we are all puppets of. As a quote in Sandman said, maybe we're just dancing to the music of our lives and what is music but a pattern of sounds?

I have these really big breaks between classes (most of which I have already resolved) and I usually spent the long hours just staring out into the sky. Back in High School this was my favorite hobby. My favorite spot would be this long stretch of road just outside gate 9. I'd sit on the sidewalk, get some sorbetes or something and look at the setting sun. I remembered how the sky turned from orange to blue as night came -- how absolutely beautiful it was. It was like, everything that happened in school didn't matter just because I got to do this thing that I loved.

I don't know if anyone has noticed at how beautiful the zen garden looks when a gust of falling leaves drop from the trees or how the butterflies dance with each other when it gets to around 11:00 in the morning. I guess some of these things are lost to people but really, these are the things I love taking note of. And I especially like it when the clouds fill up the sky, looking like it will rain but wouldn't actually. That's a good day for me. Even if my classes are going to be tiring, I have something to look forward to. I guess that's enough of a pattern for me.

Bad things happen for no reason but then again, there are good things too it's just that some come more simpler than others. The high cost of living... in my opinion... are the things you can't put a price on. Learn to live it.
