fake clouds, fake rain and the morning after

Tweet

i constantly remind myself that those gray clouds are just passing by. they don't carry rain, threatening to burst. the few times that they ever did in the weeks leading up to christmas was usually before noon. but they were just very brief and very light drizzles. more like mist, actually. so no need to hurry. no need to worry. about the laundry, or getting drenched. firecrackers and fireworks are lit up the before the clock strikes 12 midnight. then people eat some more, talk some more, sing some more, laugh some more. so the morning of january 1st is usually quiet as people wake up late. so quiet that i could hear planes flying overhead. also playing hide and seek with the clouds. (i do feel bad for people in other parts of my country affected by the typhoons. and for those who are stranded at airports, piers, and bus terminals.) happy new year, mylotters. thank you for interacting with me.
