Spectacular Sky

Hi there everyone. I'm sorry if I'm currently in the mood to blabber some of my thoughts. Please bear with me. This is only a bout of temporary madness. ;) 

Anyway, it all started last night when my brother and I went out for an errand (we were just supposed to buy stuff needed for dinner) yet we somehow ended up buying myself a pair of slippers and trainers. It may sound like an insignificant event, but for me, the experience was kind of funny and ineteresting. 

I really wasn't planning on buying anything else except for a pair of slippers, but then I asked my brother to accompany me to look for the perfect pair of running shoes. So there we were, a pair of kids clad in ordinary house clothes, poring over the shops at the mall while arguing on how significantly different men and women are on the ways on how they do their shopping, when we came by to a sport store. Given with the way we looked, the store people didn't mind us so we were free to roam around without anyone hovering over us. 

Then voila! my eyes caught the sight of a pair of strawberry pink (don't judge. I swear it looks cool) Reeboks and when I looked at it, tadaa! it's on sale! I was hesistant to buy it at first because I was planning to buy my shoes on the next payday but my brother insisted that I at least try it on. Giving in to the urge, I slipped my foot into the most amazing shoe my foot has ever been in to and I suddenly felt like running out of the store even without the other shoe. No worries though, because I didn't. Then he asked me how it fit and when I said it's perfect, he answered "Then you have to buy that d*** Cinderella shoes". Seriously, my brother talking about fairytales is enough to weird me out, but when he added "That's what you call destiny. Because the reason that it's on sale and that the only pair left was on your size and that you found it now was because it's simple, you were meant to find it." With that speech coming from him, what else can I do but end up having him buy it for me instead. ;)

On our walk home, with my noisy brain bugging me again, I contemplated those things that he said. I know I should not take it seriously because for chrissakes, he was talking about a pair of shoes when he said it. But. There are some things there that are worth thinking about. Things are there for a reason. The choice to pick it up is yours. Would you hold yourself out for something better you think that mighth come along? Or do you pick up the first good one that you find, and make the most out of it?  I wonder which one most of you would choose?

As we lug our purchases through the footbridge and ran to the grocery for our real errand, I caught sight of another spectacular view in the sky. At first I thought it was just a light coming from one of the cranes that were being used for the construction of the skyrise buildings in our area, but when I focused my eyes on it, that's when I realized that it wasn't. It was Jupiter and Venus who were very near each other, it seems like they were less than an arm's length away. 

Then there I went again when I finally had the chance to lie on my bed and think about that spectacular sight. To think that those two were separated by a couple of planets and lightyears of space in between, yet still, during that moment in time, they seem close enough to touch. They patiently waited for that one moment where they can get as close as they could, and when they did, it created a wonderful sight. If I could only make one wish for them, it would have been that they could've spent more time together just to make up for their lost time and as a reward for their patience. Then again I remembered that NASA added another second yesterday which technically made that day a little bit longer than usual. So does this mean my wish came true after all? ;)
