memories triggered by old things

I visited my old blog today and it made me miss school. I guess, it's because most of my posts there is about the fun and stress-filled days I had back when I was in college (it has been actually just around six or seven months since I graduated). It really ain't such long time yet, but I do miss being in those four walled classrooms, especially the time I had with my friends (awwwwwww :3).

I have a huge feeling this post will probably be tinted with the "emo" stuff I have read in my old blog (HAHAHA). So, forgive me if ever it will be.

You know what, I have this tendency to solve things on my own. I don't know really I just find it hard to ask for help from others, even if I know they'll be willing to help. I'm just scared I guess. I'm scared that I'll become a pain in their butts, I'm scared that they might brush me away, I'm scared that.... Though, I know I have to try and reach out more often. Believe me, it's hard to do that specially if you've sealed yourself up so tight. It's like trying to break down a very thick wall of stone made stronger through time or trying to open a door without a key (weird analogues huh?).

In another matter, just so I can drive these sad thoughts I'm having, I had fun reading my old blog. It's like reliving the glory days of my last year in college again. Like being my old carefree, sometimes quirky self again (HAHAHAHA).

I guess that's all for now.  

Rainy days and memories

It has been another rainy day, it was to be expected with the tropical depression and all. Just as the rain fell almost as if endlessly from the gray skies, memories of my childhood days came pouring in.

I remember, before I used to love it when it rains especially when there's a typhoon. We used to run around and take a bath in the rain (we do take a real bath after). When there's a tyhoon, most of the time classes and work are cancelled making me and my family all stay at home, where we play monopoly or chess together while drinking hot drinks or sipping hot soup home-cooked by my mother (YUM!).

Even when the power is out due to the strong winds, we, as a family tend to find a way to make the experience a fun one. We tend to make shadow puppets using our hands and forming it like animals and stuff. One of my most favorite part during those times is when the power comes back on and we blow each candles one by one, singing the birthday song before blowing the fire out.

I really love it when that happens and I miss those days (though I would like to clarify that I don't love nor like the disasters brought about by typhoons).

Oh, the memories. It's fun to reminisce them every once and a while.

Do you love reminiscing memories too? Hope everyone's having a good day!
