Crazy Little Things II

I have posted here a write up entitled Crazy Little Things, and I think as far as time flies, my amazement on things just grows and grows. I don't know if this is a serious case of extreme appreciation of things, though. But I just feel like flying whenever I come to think of it. They're just.. oh-so-awesome. And someday, I want to see them also by myself. :)))


This one is Lake Toba. 
Well, this one is just near and is found in Indonesia. What's very interesting with this one is that this is a supervolcano and have exploded thousands of years ago. It was believed to have had the largest known explosive anywhere in Earth for some million years ('known', so what else do we not know, right? Still a lot. :))) And it excites me.

Love Tunnel
This one's in Ukraine. :) Cute. Haha.


T
Aurora or The Northern Lights
Well, Northern Lights are produced primarily because of the energetic particles such as the protons and electrons of the solar wind in the atmosphere. See definition. It is so awestrucking, I guess. 


Double Rainbow
Another is the double rainbow. This one is a really wonderful phenomena. See definition. It's so awestrucking.

Finally, this one. To see an HH Object or the Herbig-Haro Objects.
Star formation. (*_*) These are view from supersonic jet from young stars. :)))))

Firsts

It was just so liberating to have rides home from Paranaque by myself for the first time. Congrats, Self!
----------------------

I have never travelled really far without someone with me... UNTIL I reached College. It was quite surprising for some of my college friends, I know, that I was not good at directions or even in traveling alone to places. I would always need someone to guide me and be with me in unfamiliar rides. And for the record, these are the places where I have gone (SO FAR) alone for the first time, without company:

1. Going to Bacoor and from Bacoor going home (when I went to Kath's House)
2. From Enchanted Kingdom going home (Haha! Achievement!)
3. From Paranaque (from Zet's birthday celebration)

In my ride to Bacoor, Cavite going to Kath's, it was not that nerve-racking because it's quite near to our place. It's just a jeepney ride away. I was just quite nervous if I would be missing landmarks and go to the end of the ride. But it was fine, though.

Earlier, my ride home from Paranaque was quite scary beacause, I have never been to Paranaque by myself and even going home from there by myself. But hey, I am old enough. I have been too innocent of commuting in different places for so long already. It's just rightful that I explore on my own. So I picked up myself and remembered all the directions Zet and her friends gave me. I was worried that I might forget a detail and go someplace else and just end up crying. But anyways, I told the Jeepney driver to drop me off at this certain place and good thing, he did. He even instructed me the right directions on where to cross the street and which corner to ride another jeepney. So there, in sum, I got home safe. Haha.

The worst feeling I had so far was when I rode that bus on my way home from Enchanted Kingdom.  It was seriously nerve-racking. It's just that I did not let it out and make my college friends notice that the idea of travelling home by myself for the first time is SERIOUSLY killing me... or has seriously killed me. I just smiled at them as I entered the bus. But deep inside: ("Gaaaaaaaah! Freakout. I'm dying. My heart's pounding and I am really scared!" Haha.) And those times, the farthest I have travelled alone was in Bacoor, Cavite! Haha. (Napakainosenteng bata 'ko. Shame on me.)  I really thought I won't survive. Good thing, a friend of mine knows the way and taught me how and even looked for that bus going to my place. While I was on the bus, seriously, I think the best description would be... PARANOIA and PALPITATION. Haha. But again, in sum, it went okay.. and fun. :)  A unique experience once in a while.

Uh... there. I think those are accomplishments already. Uh, yes? I think those are accomplishments already. Yes, they are. Yes. Haha! Also, I would want to go to MOA by myself and go home alone, with all the uncertainties. I don't know. But it's just that I have never went there alone. Also to Greenbelt, Trinoma, and also, before, during the Christmas season,  I wanted to see the Christmas Lights display in Makati ( I wanted to go there alone, but I did not dared to because I know I'll get lost. Haha. I can just imagine myself crying going to the Police Station claiming myself lost and having had my parents pick me up there. SHAME.), also, in Taguig and MarketMarket. Hahaha.

Here's my hashtag: Let'sTravelLuzon
HAHAHAHAHA. :)) SHAME.

Disfunctional

Could a space ship set off from its rocket without being noticed?
Could a fan blow wind, without you, feeling the breeze?
Could the sun shine without the earth being lighted?
Could the fishes be fishes if they weren't swimming?
Could you stand on a high mountain and not see the view?
It's inevitable.

Can you dance without your feet?
Can you shout without your voice?
Can you see without your eyes?
Ofcourse. Try doing it with your heart, it's going to be more than dancing, more than speaking and exclaiming, and more than seeing.

If oceans would not have waves, would one appreciate it better?
Without it's sounds and clashes, would you hear the ocean?

The deepest silence is just the greatest exclaim.
And the greatest of these can just sometimes be found in the greatest crests and throughs.
Inevitable things may be routinary, but if it's done by heart it's not seen as one anymore.
Then it becomes more important than inevitable.
