讓時間沖淡一切,從新開始。

Bring me back to life


*A sunny day in Boston during one of the gloomy October days, 2005. *

I jumped. I laughed. I was fresh and young.
10 months has passed, I no longer see myself neither making the same face, nor jumping up high in the air.
So much had happened over my less than a year's stay in Boston, I witnessed the changes in weather, from days when the sun is out, and people with happy faces, to days when the city is covered with snow, so quiet, at times, there isn't a single soul on the street.
I need a break, a break from the glaring hot sun, the cause of my heartache. Give me some snow to cool the burnt-out heart. Bring me back to fall. To who I was.

Eight months had passed since you have been gone. A conversation with Hanna about rosy cheeks has brought into my mind the lovely face of yours. My fair complexion, my rosy cheeks, I inherited it all from you.

Back to my apartment, looking through iPhotos, I searched high and low in my photo album, but not a single picture of you and me. I could only remember you from my memory.

You have taught me so much since day one. Today, you once again reminded me that I should cherish those who love me, and whom I love.

The next trip home, I am bringing back to Boston the last photo we took together last august.

*I miss you popo*

I do not know what to think anymore. Therefore, I have decided to stop killing my brain cells for this foolish game. A random encounter, misled me into a dream that I thought might come true. 3 months had passed, I have tried all that I could, but you, the one who had given me hope, had let me down numerous times. That's it. I'm calling it off. So long, farewell my dream, I'm taking off, and saying bUh-bye!

Routine

Ironically, I miss taking the one-hour train ride to Quincy College for Western Civilization II.

Since day one itself, I have always dreaded to attend this class. Not only because the time used for traveling, to and fro, takes up to approximately an hour and a half of my precious time, the teacher himself is so boring, and get drifted off into discussing about other irrelevant issues easily, such as the US politics, law cases, etc, which are interesting, but totally IRRELEVANT to the subject itself, and also because it is just one of those required classes that I have no desire for.

Today, again, it is Wednesday. The only difference is that I do not need to go for this particular class anymore. I feel lost. Taking the train at 5 every Monday and Wednesday has become my routine. I am so used to it already that it felt weird when I no longer follow this routine. Then again, the word, routine, sounds too restrictive, and of course boring. No doubt the Western Civilization at Quincy could be boring at times, most of the time, but the company was great. I met a couple of new friends, explore a new area, made the $1.25 train ride worth while, earned my 3 credits and discover the life saver gummy bears in the grocery store next door. Those gummy bears save the lives of dozing off students in class!

All in a sudden, I have so much free time in my hands. Do not be mistaken, I am not complaining. I am definitely enjoying this empty slot that used to be filled, from 5-10pm, every Monday and Wednesday.
