It's five minutes to two. Feeling the cool breeze of this year-end morning, I am here like a tom-tom beater drumming my fingers on my keyboard finishing the year that was both unspeakable and adventurous (not necessarily in order). Wow, I miss writing like this: Free. No limiting. Flowing like a stream. No plot but just plain, simple writing wondering entirely what could be the difference of the "now" versus that of a day more than the next 365 and a quarter will be.
Of course, I don’t know. Marking this very day is like saving God of War on PSP hoping to retrieve my game from where I left off sooner or later, to continue the task and try to finish then saves yet for another retrieval time. With my HDD (Hard Disk Drive) acts like the memory PRO it says, “Saving…Do not remove memory card“, I am here to record another saving point for me to virtually paste this portion of my life to where I want it to stay although I sometimes despise changes that would abruptly stir the stillness of my world.
December 31 is now on. Quiet and still. I can hear only the whoosh of the cool breezy air with the common chirps of crickets from somewhere in the dark of dawn, nonchalant with the coming of booms and bangs of deafening firecrackers soon to cover the entire atmosphere in a few hours. This maybe is, as what they say, the calm before the storm. It is when the coming year emerges like a baby in sticky liquid coming out of the womb. You can never tell what he will become but it is a chance to get excited and look forward as to what indeed he shall be. Every year is like this as days rush to come and go. I remember shouting the words, "Y2K na!", three times on top of my lungs back in the year 2000 as if it was just yesterday. Sooner you will realize that you are older and about to embark to the journey of sunset, welcoming it like a long lost friend.
So enjoy the life now and be prepared for more changes to come. Shocking or otherwise.
A wondrous new year, 2012 to everyone!
