Wish You Were Here

Imagine us walking on snow covered roads together,
dressed in our elegant winter attires,
flashing warm smiles to each other,
filled with excitement, awe and wonder.

Imagine us walking hand-in-hand,
watching the sunset in the snow-white landscape,
whispering to each other the wonder of His creations,
thanking Him for this wonderful experience.

Imagine us writing each other's names on the snow,
With smileys and silly nicknames that only you know,
A snowman built at the side,
Giving him a name would be a delight.

Imagine us snapping pictures on the way to nowhere,
With silly poses and funny faces,
Only the both of us and the crispy snow,
And throwing snowballs at each other in the evening glow.

We could lie on snowfields,
in quietude without a single worry,
carving snow angels with our physical body,
Yes, with you, an angel, I wish for eternity.

We could walk on surface of snow and gravel,
With you allowing me to hold you,
Should you slip or fall,
We will laugh at it together, as if it's nothing at all.

When it is too hard to thread on the snow,
Or when you're shivering in the temperatures bordering sub-zero,
I'll carry you on my back gladly,
To our humble abode we will go.

If only you were here...Lil' Miss Frangipani.

Vanilla Twilight

For the very first time, I experience snow today!

It was around 8.30 in the morning when loud thumps were heard on the roof. That jolted me from my beauty sleep and quickly I opened the attic window. A hailstorm was brewing outside but it didn't last for long. After 10 minutes, it just turned into a milder form: snow. Yes, white fluffy snow. By then, my uncle and his family were already awake and shouts of excitement and wonder filled the whole house. It was, afterall, the first time their children got to see and experience snow, just like me. Whipped my camera and snapped a few pics at the front porch in a half-sleepy state. It felt like a dream. It felt like being in Owl City's Vanilla Twilight music video! Thank God for the experience and also the beauty of snow.


**UPDATED**
Just came back from work, at 2.30am. That was quite heavy a snowstorm out there and my colleague could only dropped me roughly 2 km from my place due to snow covered road which rendered her vehicle immobile leading to my place. Her BMW actually skidded while travelling at 20-25km/h at a roundabout and few passers-by came and helped push her car after it got stuck in 10 cm thick of snow. That was some bit of action in the wee hours of the morning. Once she has left, I took the long walk home but with more pictures taken along the way. The atmosphere and ambience out there is awesome. Imagination is one thing. Being in a real snowstorm at 2 in the morning is another.

Half Year

Today marks the 6th month I'm in Dublin. How do I feel? So far the journey has been a bittersweet one but I know He is with me through and through. He is faithful. He provides.

Hiatus

The thing that was once a burden is the thing I miss now. Attending classes.
