It is dawn again…

Twilight: The diffused light from the sky during the early evening or early morning (thefreedictionary.com)

I missed a huge electronic concert today, one that I had invited people to, and had been looking forward for, for over a month. I, simply, did not go.  Ended up at KTV with my friends…

It is always fun to see the change when the elevator’s doors close and it goes up, and when its doors open and we leave. Less people. Drunk people. People whose eyes are closing. People who had just woken up. Coupled people. And it is quiet, apart from drunken giggles… Always fun to watch.

I took a black cab, today (because they are faster and I just wanted him to take me to the subway, 7 min away). The taxi driver got to that bad intersection close by. He stopped at the red light, thought for a second, looked around, changed his mind, and drove through. I went out of my mind, (because it is the bad intersection – huge fast buses, crazy cars, bicycles…) So I started shouting (well, and cursing but he didn’t understand). He assured me and said: “no problem! no problem!”. Oh great, because, you know, for a second there, I thought there was a problem. He tried to explain to me that the metro was blocking the way, so no traffic was coming in his direction. I got off.

Every time he calls me, I seem to be in the subway. I love this guy (NO, not in that way ppl)… He is just an amazing friend. Reminds me of myself, big time. Reminds me of you, as he is very different.

How are you today? Didn’t hear from you in a while… I admit, I have been avoiding you. I have good reasons, though. But yeah…. I think about you, and “I wonder” like she says in “Lemon tree” that we repeated over and over at KTV …. Maybe I should take the lyrics more seriously. There is a line where “you” wonder. They played your song too, creep. And I sang, I shouted it out.

It is light now. Again. For the 68th time.

Note to self: you need to start going to bed before dawn… (or at least before dawn ends!)

My neighbor/classmate is throwing a house warming party tonight. And my room is involved… But that is not the issue, my only concern is that it is light now, and I seem to be throwing a party tonight, oh yeah, and working all day.

Feel free to drop by, bring your favorite: drink or snack or music or bf/gf or whatever… (yes, “favorite” applies to bf/gf, too… )

Love,

I used to be able to read in the subway… I can’t anymore!

Usually, every week at this time, on this particular subway line, I think of you. You are the secret ritual that I chant between those particular stations. I think of a good line to send you. By the time I get to my station Read the rest of this entry »

Youtube is “still” blocked in China.

It was gloomy today. The weather started out okay in the morning, all bright and sunny… but then got miserable.

Watching from behind my window, except for the temperature, it is interesting how China’s springs Read the rest of this entry »
