at ang mga ilaw sa gabi.

Ako ba ay dating gamu-gamo sa past life ko? Or ako ba ay may lahing gamu-gamo? ;) Odd as it may seem to you, I think I am in love with city night lights. I like passing by streets, highways na puro ilaw. Babaw noh. For me, para silang artificial cinderella stars of the night. Where is that bridge again? Nagtahan bridge ba yun? Im not sure. But I like that bridge. I even have my favorite tree, along Roxas boulevard. They're adorned with colorful lights. But dont get smart on me, wag mo akong hiritan ng flashlights or fluorescent light at ipo-pokpok ko yan sa ulo mo. You know what im talking about, yung mga decor lights sa gabi, they really make the darkness of the night a little special. They cheer me up. It would be nice siguro to walk in a garden where all the trees are dramatically luminated and necklaced with colorful little lights. I'd just stand in the middle or fine kung pagod ako, I'll sit down or kung masakit naman ang likod ko, hihiga na lang ako sa white blanket na ilalatag ko sa grass and mag fee-feeling ako that they're all lighted up for me. My artificial cinderella stars. sigh. At the right distance, with the right weather, they are pretty. This is also the only reason why I was okay with Lito Atienza being the former Mayor of Manila always wearing that red hawaiian polo shirt, because he is addict sa ilaw. Lahat ng sulok gustong ilawan (although there is this possibility, these light projects could have been used for corruption purposes din...).

Pakiramdam ko citylights and stars are a beautiful blasphemy in the night, Pag nasa ground level ka and you gaze up, you'd see the stars in the sky and they're beautiful, and when you're on an airplane up high and you look down, you'd see the city/the world has just transformed into stars in the sky itself. Gets mo? para ka pa ring nakatingin sa langit. Parang puro sky lang ang meron sa earth. Mas marami pa ngang stars to see when you look down eh, artificial cinderella stars nga lang, They burn only when they are lighted up,and for a given period of time. At OO ubos na ang pera ng bayan sa kakabayad ng kuryente para sa mga ilaw sa gabing kalsada, na mas madalas hindi naman natin ina-appreciate mashado. These are one of my little fascinations. Fascinations that sometimes makes me question myself " Shit ako lang ba ang ganito?" "OMG Am I weird?" so minsan sumasagot yung split personality ko ng 'OO weird ka nga'. ;p But i would like to believe that I am just being appreciative and that there are details in this world that are beautiful pala. That it just so happens I may have noticed something you didn't. *conclusion: weird nga ;p haha*

Siguro kung hindi ako tao, I'd choose to be alitaptap or a firefly. Yuckers.. mangarap bang maging insekto? ;p hahaha anyways its better than gamu-gamo di ba?
