Rainy days

Rain rain rain, its a non-stop thing these past few days. It makes the entire place look so gloomy and lifeless in many ways. Shades of grey cast skies overlap the landscape as far as one's eye can take you. Even the sun receives no mercy from the spreading of its monotone grasp.

Clouds hang above, looking down to earth in mockery of those who live beneath its mighty shade. Taunting people about days when the sun once shone upon them, and a glorious light beams across their hearts. Those days are seen now all but a distant memory, soon to be faded away by the times, facing an ending of no return.

All is woe under such conditions, and time seems to stand still amidst such conditions. It comes as no surprise that many long for the days when the sun was up in the sky to greet them in the morning. When the warmth and gentle rays bounce off the skin, such is the feeling that has many coming back for more.

Yet in the present, gloom is never ceasing. Cast above the like a portrait painted by a miserable artist, uninspiring at best, and loaded with worries it appears. One by one, raindrops splatter about, bringing the temperature to freezing level. Like a river flowing down from the sky, relentless in its movements, stopping at nothing, they keep falling.

In these trying days, it would seem that the rain will never end, as one stares out into the open. That the falling drops would ensnare all those under it with grasps of cold and heartless misery.

To the room, one must retreat. For escaping is only possible there. This is a time when one desires for the loving tender warmth of a dearly beloved. To feel its presense lift the dreadfully heavy air and fill the surroundings with that of peace and serenity.

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing

The holidays are here, and many hardworking people out there finally rejoicing as if the heavens have came down to earth. Well, everyone seems to be happy from what I've seen so far.

But not me!

Well, im not saying im depressed or sad in anyway, because im not. Instead, what I want to say is this. How can the holidays be enjoyable for a college going student? Sure, the monotonous daily grind in attending classes during the semesters are a killer, but the sheer amount of boredom that takes effect unto us during the semester breaks is just too much for it to even be seen as equal.

Imagine this, you wake up in the morning, sun shining brightly outside, earth still revolving round its axis, birds still flying, and you get yourself ready.....for.....wait a minute? Why get ready you ask? Because there's no class to be ready for! Why the heck are you getting ready for? And then, you begin to realize that you suddenly had sooo much time on your hands for the entire day to do things.

This sensation will no doubt be fun for the first few days, but as the hours trudge by slowly, at a snails pace, a sense of malaise begins to take form. You no longer had the zest you once had when you first begun the holidays, and soon the realise that you have too much time on your hands.

Time.....

That's right, its time. The four letter word that everybody wants but just somehow couldn't get enough of. Is 24 hours a day good enough? Its no to some, and definitely yes to me because its certainly bloody more than what I needed during a sem break!

But despite all this gloomy predictions about how im spending my time during the holidays, i am indeed grateful for it. Also, im fully aware that it would take me another 4 more months before I will actually have this much time on my hands. So for now, im slowly, but surely, waiting for time to pass me by so that I can resume my normal life again. (going to classes! :-D )

Perhaps we are not alone

I was just looking up at the sky one day, when just all of a sudden, a thought hit me.
"What is beyond the sky above me that I am staring at?"

Could it be that there is something out there? Beyond space and time?
Since our universe is soooooo huge, how could it be possible that our planet is the only one that holds life?

It is said that the basis of all lifeforms on earth is water. So is it possible to find another planet out there with water on it? Of all the cosmic atoms floating around, why wont it be possible for 2 parts of hydrogen and 1 part of oxygen to just collide randomly and bond?

Of all the years that our galaxy have gone through (a few billion to be exact), the chances that there is something out there besides us is kinda high. Maybe they might not look like the complex lifeforms here on earth, but who knows? After all, everything has a beginning.
