It's a beautiful Sunday morning, and here I am in front of my laptop writing another blog. It's my first time to do something like this, but I find it of great help to relax my mind before I do anything else that's stressful. It's a bit breezy outside, the wind keeps on blowing through the trees and into my window. I have to admit, it is one of the days here in Manila that you experience such clean atmosphere.
A block away from the apartment compound, you can hear the drums beating . I have no idea what's happening but listening to it closely, seems as if it's coming nearer and nearer, the louder it gets. It's early in the morning and the road is a busy place already. Meanwhile inside my little apartment, the lights are still turned off. And the only sound I could place from within is the music playing from my laptop, which I alone could hear.
The drum sounds are starting to fade away. I guess they're no headed off to the high way.
I don't bother standing up and to check what's going on out there. It's just something about being in your bed that makes you want to stay and not move. Have you ever experienced the feeling of arriving home from school or work and you happen to lie down on your bed, then you no longer want to stand up again? I find that feeling funny; because of the need to do school work or your priorities, you'd rather sleep. And the next thing you know is that you're dreaming already.
Today is going to be a very long and tiring day for me. Plates again! We're suppose to renovate and design the bathroom in our house. But I've got my schemes already. Today I'll be busy working on my floor plans, sections and perspective. Anyhow, I foresee that it will be fun. :) Working early in the morning is a good exercise for the brain. And writing this blog is just one way of warming up my mind to be awake. It's because there are times when you feel drowsy and you're still lying on your bed, the more you get motivated not to move, especially in a weather like this.
The drum sounds are gone now, it's 10:58 in the morning, and I'm listening to the song, Breakeven by the Script. The mellow song makes me think of my home in the province, Cagayan de Oro City, where every morning you really smell the sweet fragrance of the trees and the rice field across our home; the birds tweeting on our mango tree and the cock-a-doodle-doo sound of the roosters of our neighbor. Being away from home is not that difficult for me anymore. I remember my first few weeks here in Manila, I was crying to myself softly every night in bed, so that my older sister wouldn't hear me -- and make fun of me! But being miles away takes some getting used to. And it wouldn't be that hard to adjust once you've met new and fun people, who'd make you feel comfortable.
I feel better and so much awake now. Signing out and I'll be off to work.
