After all the stress from the previous weeks (with my mom getting hospitalized for a couple of days and all the strain from work getting piled up) my body and brain surely needed a bit of a reprieve or else, I'd be bonkers and mad as hell. So yesterday, after getting off from work, I passed by the church first, which was what I've been doing a lot lately to say my prayers and and give my thanks for the day. I may not be what you would call a religious person, but in times when my mind's been getting too wired up for me to think straight, it is the place I usually run to. For me it feels like an oasis in the middle of the desert. With all the calmness washing over me, I left the church with a lighter heart so I followed my feet and took up the first jeep that stopped in front of me. I don't know if I told you this before, but whenever I feel like I'm getting sick and tired of my life's monotony, this spontaneous streak of mine suddenly comes out. As I paid of for my fare, instead of telling the driver my usual destination, I told him a different place and since he gave me my change already, I just stick with it and alighted on that place. Seriously, I didn't know what I'd do once I got there so I just wandered around aimlessly. Then suddenly I found myself standing in front of the movie ticket booth. As I scanned the list, I realized that Dead Pool was showing so without further ado, I bought my ticket and entered the cinema with a bucket of popcorn and a big tumbler of Coke in my arms (comfort food at its finest). ;) As I got in, I settled in my seat and immersed myself into the movie and I swear, I didn't notice time as it passed by. It sure is not for the faint of heart, but the nonsensical side of me liked it. My favorite part of the movie though was in the last part, when he was about to get reunited with the love of his life, he said something in the lines of: "I'm just a boy standing in front of a girl, asking her to love him (ala-Notting Hill style)" ;) After the movie (and a tummy filled with popcorn and soda) I roamed around some more before finally deciding to take a ride home. As I alighted outside our village, I took the long walk home instead even if the night is a little bit chilly than I would have wanted. It's dark and quiet and it calmed me a little bit. What warmed my heart though was the sight of the moon as it looks like it's literally smiling down on me. It felt like it's saying, "Don't worry little one, everything's gonna be okay." And I sure do hope it would.
