The Way the Sun Shines

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

"Sunshine after the rain…" - How often have we heard this phrase? Countless… It is in poems, songs and other literary forms. I didn’t think I understood what it "literally" meant until I consciously observed the morning after a rain shower.

The air was still cool. The smell of grass lingered. I couldn’t remember seeing the leaves so vividly green. Sunlight peeked through the empty spaces in between the leaves of the trees, but I "marveled" most in how it was reflected in the droplets of water still on the leaves, practically glistening. It was a simple yet beautiful sight…

I am fascinated with nature. (And the following are my random thoughts… :))

I enjoy feeling the wind as I wonder on how vast the sea or ocean can be when I am atop of a hill.

I wish I had the stamina and determination of a mountaineer so that I may feel how wonderful it is to be surrounded by the clouds and see the glow and the different colors that the sun casts as it rises or goes down.

I marvel at clear, blue and sparkling water with the sea shells and sea creatures completely visible.

I love feeling the mist of water on my face as I travel on open sea. 

The thought of walking under the peach or cherry blossoms of peach/cherry trees brings a smile to my face.

I believe it will be wonderful to see and be in the midst of a meadow full of wild flowers with colorful butterflies and little dragonflies fluttering here and there.

I would like spend a quiet afternoon under the shade of a big tree, simply reading or resting or having a picnic.

… In the midst of nature, I feel that everything is all right in the world. The surroundings soothe and comfort. And there is peace that engulfs the heart… :)

Jologs na kung jologs. Bahala na. Pero sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, ipapaalam ko sa mga taong naglalaan ng panahon na basahin ang blog ko, na ako ay fan ni Hero. Kinailangan ko pang i-save as draft ang post na ito bago ko tuluyang ilathala. Sa madaling sabi, hindi naging madali para sa akin. Hahaha. :-D Kinailangan ko rin na baguhin ang mga nauna kong isinulat sapagkat ayaw kong mag mukhang "anti-Kapamilya network" ang post na ito. Hahaha.

Anyway, my friend Butch would most likely want to take credit for this post. He had told me that while my blog entries make for a good read, the posts are too serious. So I decided that for a change, I will write down my thoughts on something that deviates from the "mood/theme" of my earlier blog posts.

I may not be considered a "typical" fan. I do not own any magazine that featured Hero. I had not gone to any of his mall shows or Hero’s Day(s). I am not subscribed to his k-text. I do not have his autograph and I do not keep a collection of his pictures. So what makes me a fan then? Well, I often visit his forum thread at www.pinoyexchange.com (PEX). This is where I get most of my information about Hero. I enjoy reading the posts of fellow fans and know that there are other people who are like me. Hahaha. I try to watch his TV shows and TV guestings as much as I can. I had watched both of his movies during the first week of release. (Ohhh… did I just write that? Hahaha;) ) And I consider myself affected by the recent turn of events in his showbiz career. (This is where my "rant" against his home network for "freezing his career" was supposed to start… Hahaha).

Marami pa dapat akong sasabihin pagkatapos ng talatang yan. Pero nagbago ang isip ko. Malaking bagay na na nasabi ko na fan ako ni Hero. Bakit nga ba ako fan? Ayaw ko na ring banggitin ang mga obvious na dahilan, Hahaha :-D. Dun na lang tayo sa hindi pangkaraniwang maririnig.*wink*  Fan ako marahil dahil kinatawan nya ang isang tao na natupad ang pangarap, pinilit na makiayon at makibagay sa sistemang umiiral, pero sa huli, nanatiling tapat sa sarili nya. Marami siyang kahinaan, marami siyang maituturing na maling desisyon na ginawa pero pinaninindigan niya kung ano ang tunay na mahalaga sa kanya. (Siyempre, lahat nang nabanggit ay kabilang sa impresyon ko na nabuo sa pamamagitan ng napanood at nabasa ko tungkol sa kanya *wink*)  Ay oo nga pala, isa pa… cute niya e… HAHAHA :-D
