One daydream....

It rained this morning as I left a train station. Rain usually makes me feel a little bit down, especially on weekdays. Gray clouds and splattering murky water. Not a fun start of a day.

However, it's a different story when it's raining cats and dogs. It's fun. It's like you are in the middle of a car washing machine, and people think that you're crazy when you come back soaking wet like a rat living in a sewage hole. You don’t give a damn about it.

It was a several years ago when I had a roommate like that, who also loved to go out in a thunderstorm.

It was a night before a huge exam and the room was boiling hot. No matter how much we try to concentrate on our work, it lasted only a few minutes, nibbling away midnight snacks or surfing on the web. They were our typical procrastination methods. Then, we found out that a thunderstorm might be coming into town. We rushed outside, staring up pitch-black clouds, hearing loud crashing sound and seeing white flashes running in the distance. However, no matter how much we waited to quench our thirsty heads, only a drizzle came down from heavens.

I wonder how long we waited. However, by the time we came back inside our dorm, we were the only ones soaking wet to our bones. We got lots of staring from other dorm mates. What a great laughter we had over that.

However, that was something of a past. I am currently in the society where people think that even a drizzle must be avoided by umbrellas. But, sometimes, I like to feel cool water dripping from fresh spring leaves and spread my arms to the sky and just absorb. I know that rain is no longer pure. It’s acidic and has all kinds of pollutants from manmade fumes. It’s sad to say that it’s no longer healthy to expose oneself to rain.

However, when I opened my umbrella at the exit of a train station this morning, I saw light yellow green wild grasses and flowers extending their tips to the sky to gobble up raindrops. Can I just abandon everything and just lie on the ground among them, staring up the sky? One little daydream passed within my head as I left the station to my work place.

just a piece of writing

The gray walls surrounds you and the dust swirl around your wind as the car flies by honking. Even when you look up to the sky, it is half hidden by a highway that lures above, casting a deep shadow on already a dark road. Although it is a middle of spring, the air is hard to breath from fumes and even the warm wind seems so artificial by the scent it carries. You are just a part of the crowd, waiting for the traffic light to change. People around you are all faceless strangers and just a part of a fleeing presence. Nothing changes even with passing of time, and this is nothing more than a part of everyday routine.

Yet, the moment between each blinks of one’s brown eyes, between the worlds of darkness and light, new scenery emerges. The eyes momentarily lose its focus from an advertisement on the wall across the street and sucked into the world within.

Nameless and shapeless things swirl around you gently, dancing and bursting with colors. People disappear and only you remain, surrounded by a warm glowing light. The concrete road’s is no longer there but a clear green lake spreads below one’s feet, reflecting the vast endless azure sky, which expands above a horizon. A pale white moon peeks in from a far through the reflection. The warm breeze creates a ripple on the surface, scattering not a pink but orange and yellow petals from trees nearby.

A fleeing moment. A fleeing time. Just as it came, the scenery disappears and fades into the concrete buildings. The street light changes, and people step into the cold asphalt road. Nothing changed. People remain just strangers, and you are just a part of a crowd.

Or is it?

(￣～￣；) Oi.... (￣～￣；)してしまった。。。。

There was a transvestite gentleman standing in a line before me, waiting for a train last night.
Due to the other party's unidentifiable gender, I stared at the beginning. (゜_゜)
Then, mesmerized by his/her pretty eyelashes, I continued to stared. (゜_゜)
Yes, I was acting shamelessly disrespectful....（＞皿＜）

Since some of these people have better makeup skills than girls, I was really tempted to say,
"Hey, teach me!" (^O^)／
but told myself to be patient. Yes, very patient. (*/ω＼*)
The train was very crowded due to it being in a rush hour, so I couldn't talk to that person at all. So, I have no clue as to what he/she was thinking about me staring.

Probably, it's not a wonderful thought. I guess it can't be helped. However, I hope my act didn't make his/her day to go bad.


帰りの電車に乗る列の前方に並んでいた男性の方が少し、女装をしていた。
始めは、相手の性別が不明で、じろじろ。(゜_゜)
そして、彼／彼女の綺麗なまつげに見とれてしまい、じろじろ。(゜_゜)
失礼な事をしてしまった。 （＞皿＜）

でも、こういう人の方が女性より化粧方法を知っていられる場合も多く、思わず、
「教えて！」(^O^)／
っと言うのをガマン。ガマン。(*/ω＼*)
電車が、混んでいたので声をかけられなかった。相手は、どう思っていたのであろう。

きっと。悪口だろうな。仕方がないよね。あまり、気分を悪くしてなかったらいいけど。
