Hello, it's been a while since my last blog. So, i'm gonna tell you about my little adventure today.
I woke up around 9 in the morning. I'm not really a morning person, so i needed to drink coffee to sort of energize me. Since i'm slow at everything, eating, taking a shower, getting dressed and all that, it was past 11am when i left the house. I took the bus. Last time i took the bus, i almost flew out of where i was standing (I was forced to stand because there was no available seat). But you know, it's cheap and i like public transportation, the basic kinds. Jeepneys, buses, tricycles and trains. Anyway, i found a seat this time, so it was all good. It was a non-airconditioned bus, which i honestly prefer cause i hate the smell of airconditioned buses and cabs. I prefer the windows open, despite the fact that all i could breathe in is pollution. I don't know, i just like it that way. And as absurd as it was, sitting in the bus with the sun shining on me while i breathe in polluted air, i couldn't help but smile and feel happy (weird, i know). It made me think of wanting to run around a wide open space with green grass and tall trees, for some reason. Finally i reached my destination. I was running an errand. You know, payment of taxes, adult stuff. When i got to the city hall, i ran (or briskly walked, rather) from one building to another. After about 2 or 3 hours, i was done.
I rode a jeepney home then did some work stuff then i suddenly remembered that i haven't had lunch yet, it was 5 in the afternoon. So i had "lunch" then took off again. I was kinda new around here, well, not really. I've been living here for more or less a year but i haven't really been going around by myself. I usually go out with my brother and sister and we usually take a cab. But as I said, i'm not a fan of cabs or airconditioned buses. So I went to ride a jeepney again. The funny thing is, i didn't even know which jeepney to ride, and where i was supposed to get off. I texted my friend and he gave me directions and luckily i was able to find my way. I bought headphones for my gig tomorrow and tried to look for a red dress or shirt or whatever that i could wear for tomorrow but i couldn't find anything i like, and i was kinda tired from all the brisk walking too so i headed to where i went off the jeepney earlier. It was 7 in the evening so naturally, it was dark. I almost got lost as i made my way through the narrow streets that led to where the jeepneys passed. I didn't seem as far when i walked there earlier, i made a lot of left turns. Finally, i saw the jeepneys and i felt relieved. I got home safely.
I honestly don't know what the point of this blog is, but i wanted to share how shallow i am for being happy for all the brisk walking, wandering, getting lost and finding my way i did today, cause i like those things altogether. I've always known that i'm a wanderer, no matter how small the amount of places i've been to, the time will come when i will wander everywhere. I was so lost inside my head that it made me think of all sorts of things and the irony of finding peace within myself while i was making my way through the busy streets of Quezon City convinces me even more of how weird I am. And.... i don't know how to end this. I guess this is sort of a glimpse inside my bizzare, eccentric mind and how my thoughts deviate from the norm. But believe me, i am sane. :D
P.S. This is the perfect song for this blog. :)
