Wow! I didn't think time could fly by that fast! I thought I was putting my journal off for just a bit, but it's been a month!
Well, my dad came to visit me in the Philippines, and we had spent my whole sem-break at Ilocos Sur. The most memorable thing I can remember from that little vacation was that I almost caught a teeny tiny fish. I caught it with my hands cupped so that it could contain some water for the fish to breathe in a bit. I watched it for a little while and was fascinated by how pretty it was, trying to understand the brilliance of its physiological processes of being alive in my hands. But as I was rushing to get a jar, the water was running out of my hands seeping through my fingers and the fish started flapping around. I got scared and watched it flap around. I was afraid of it not breathing. Well, that's how the fish got away, it jumped out of my hands and hid itself near the seaweeds. The lesson I learned: The aesthetics of life is held by the palm of your hands, if you try to contain it, the necessary source in keeping it alive, the brilliance of it, will unfathomably disappear. You just have to let go and live.
