In the dawn of January 30 (around 5:30), I was standing at our back terrace about to prepare to sleep.  During the day, from our terrace one can see the expanse of Marikina-Rizal geography where houses and trees line and a beautiful row of a mountain make for a perfect scene; at night, spots of lights from the houses and light posts glitter the horizon.  This is my favorite spot in our house, the place where I want to be alone for awhile.  Anyway, as I looked up the skies at this particular time, there were still clumps of stars in my company.  I thought this a period where the sun’s rays usually come late in the morning and it’s already too dusky late in the afternoon.  After a couple of minutes of pondering, what did i find?!!  A "light" swept the horizon very quickly, it passed my eyes just a second and a half.  And what was that?!  That’s a SHOOTING STAR!!  In my twenty six years of my life, never had I seen a "falling star" (okay, a meteor) until that time.  I was so shocked I almost forgot I should wish when this phenomenon occurs.  After a few sec and being the hopelessly hopeful that I am, I wished for something.  I’m afraid I won’t tell it to you. 

I’m still estatic while writing this.  If this is a sign that things are looking up for me, then I should be hopeful and not get annoyed and impatient too easily as I wont to do these days.  Patience is a virtue, as they say. 

I’m hoping for the next falling star in my midst, or better yet, a meteor shower!! 

(Note:  I’ve seen meteor showers in one of my scariest and weirdest dreams, now that’s a differnt story altogether.)
