A slight rain comes, bathed in dawn light

i like it when it rains. in spite of the pouring of raindrops which pitter patter on your window to a crescendo that may startle some, I on the other hand am soothed by it. sadly what can work for you, can work against you too. i was sorely greeted by HEAVY rain en route to school this morning, and i dont know how else to put it but when you're going at 80km/h on a bike and it rains, the raindrops feel like FUCKING BULLETS that STING YOU TO DEATH till u seek DAMN SHELTER. drenched in a downpour (on a highway) without shelter in sight ranks among my Top Ten most Depressing Shits that can happen to you. it's possibly 10 x more demoralizing than losing Torres to injury, but not as bad as seeing Lucas work his ass off to naught.

so I simply waited out at a bus stop on West Coast Misery Road till the rain subsided. I had to go solo lecture with Multiple Integrals as i waited for my socks to dry, but in the end my wrinkled feet were salvaged by mh's Thai socks. dang it's time like this i realise the importance of investing in a raincoat, though im still very discouraged to ride if the road is wet. at least i won't look half bad if i get a badass leather one |) *sponsors are deeply appreciated*

the other day i happened to be with Hanlong's friend whose crush 'happened' to walk by and this ignited a flurry of emotions followed up by disappointment. she was saddened by his smoking habits but that isn't what i wish to speak on. i feel she's probably waiting for the right moment to seize the opportunity and 'grab her kill', but i realise there is no 'right time'. you shouldn't need the 'right time' or a 'chance' to succeed. simply if the other party has feelings for you, ANYTIME is the 'right time' eh? Okay so your efforts appear more polished if u plan ahead, but if that's what u need to work it out, then anything less would make u feel insecure. and dang insecurity may cause your efforts to backfire entirely in the long run. I only say this because i believe a relationship is the only way you'll really know who you love is what you desire for in the long-term once she realises she no longer has any reason to hold back. That's probably why break-ups are the few perfect things in this world, as my friend has quoted before.

But in the end, who does not want to cherish a good memory worthy of speaking in times of despair?
