Wishing Upon 70 shooting stars! :D
A million thanks to our NatSci 2-Geol part Professor, Prof. CP DAVID!!!!! whoo!!!! Because of his "announcement" or whatever you call it, I was able to witness my first ever METEOR SHOWER!! there were supposed to be 120 shooting stars last night and i was able to witness 70 out of 120!!!! siempre sa labo ng mata ko at sa laki ng langit yung iba hindi ko nalang nakita pero nakita ng iba...hehe!!
what's fun about this event wasn't the meteor shower itself but HOW we (people from Kalai) watched and tried to make as many wishes as we can.
1020 pm i was watching white oleander(philosophical movie etc.) when i heard screams from downstairs..turns out every1 was camping out at the basketball court watching the meteor shower. So Ligs, Sunshine, Aleli and I ran all the way down from the 3rd floor to the court...A lot were already lying down on their comfortable blankets. We joined them but we were just standing, at first. (I even forgot my glasses so the stars were just like a blur on the night sky) Anyway, due to severe neck pain...Sunshine and I decided to lie down. (even if we didn't have any blanket underneath, meaning we were lying down on the cold dirty pavement of the court, desperate I know)...
Sunshine can't take it anymore so we ran upstairs to get our glasses, blankets and pillows.
We chose a spot and made ourselves comfortable.
Naaalala ko yung kinuento ng prof namin how to wish. (cause it has to be while the meteor is falling not after) You write down your wishes. Number them from 1 - 120. then whenever you see one just say the number and that counts as your wish na..haha, with the 70 stars that I saw I think I was only able to wish 10 times. Pag kasi nakikita namin we'll just say Ayun!! or kung pang ilang falling star na un na nakita namin...There were two instances that I was singing Japanese songs when two fell...so i accidentally wished for TSUBASA and YUKI...(wings and snow)...sabi rin nia you can tell a girl/guy you like that if both of you saw a shooting star that night then it means your meant for each other (haha, at siguraduhing hindi nia alam na may meteor shower that night!)
ang nakakatuwa pa dun, when every1 was lying down, a lot were singing songs related to stars or just singing songs...may nagrarally pa nga against the food in Kalai...haha, si Dhadi, muntik pang maapakan ung mukha ko...a lot were also shouting Math 53, Chem 16 and all their other majors..wishing to get UNO.
I was waiting for the peak when A LOT would fall all at the same time but either it never happened or I wasn't just able to witness it cause around 1 am I was already falling asleep. Others even slept at the court until 5AM and were able to see a hundred.
Well, all in all it was UBER FUN!!! I hope my prof announces the dates for next year's meteor showers.
eion, that'll be all I guess, I'm off x-mas shopping!!
toodles!

you know you love me
