It's been not so wonderful with this blog thing I'm running. I promise I will make time and catch up more with you guys soon. Anyways, here are the things that might interest you. If not, well, this is all I got to share. Wala na talaga. LOL.

I bought a bike. I bought the cheapest bike of course. I was kinda fooled though. It retails for 8000 plus yen but tax not included so I spent 10000 yen plus for it all in all. Ganun din. I should have just bought the 10000 yen that's like so flashy in color. The color seems off but you know, as long as it takes me from point a to b, I'm good. Also, since I'm partially blind sometimes, it's kinda nice that I didn't but the typical silver type because we all know I wouldn't be able to find where it is at a glance. 

Anyways, this is my view from work to home. Sometimes I forget to look at details because I'm tired so if I tend to stop, I usually take pictures. Does that even make sense? No? Anyways. As if you don't know already, I really like the street flowers in Japan. So that's it. It actually looks more better in person because it is aligned in such a way. But sometimes when street cars pass non-stop, it's kinda hard to see it so yeah. Maybe that's actually why I took this picture. There's that. 

Two years ago, with this kind of weather, I would probably still be thanking the weather because that would mean that the good ol' UST wouldn't have any classes. But the situation is different now. But internship and review classes made me think otherwise. Don't get me wrong though! I still love the rain. But not like what have just happened. That's like five times of what I actually love and that doesn't go hand in hand. Anyways.

This flower is probably the most beautiful thing about this typhoon Maring. Such a survivor! :)

For some reason, my new digital camera decided to focus on the leaves instead of the flower itself. Way to go! 

I really hate the flood! With all the diseases and other disgusting stuff it carries, it really freaks me out that kids like to actually swim and play like it's a pool or something. Please don't! 

Luckily, it didn't actually rain that much today. Well actually, I was in the review center for quite a long time today so I actually don't know if it rained at all but for most of the time that I was out, Mr.Sun was very visible. And guess what people would complain about this time? HOT WEATHER. Life.

I just thought that it's funny how we adore the beauty of blooming flowers and yet we often ignore where it came from. Much like the story of the Ugly Duckling, flowers undergo stages and the first stage is where it's nothing special. Often ignored, underestimated. Flowers are born to be beautiful but that first stage, most of them are ridiculed to be something ordinary. Most of the small flowers although already beautiful, fall from their stems when they're not yet ready to bloom fully. It's not that they're not deserving to bloom but sometimes the weather is just stronger than they are. Until they reach that point where they can stand-out, be themselves, and be differentiated. They might fall but they will rise again. Because the weather is not always that bad. Good vibes!
