Hot Summer Nights

I know my title could give you queer thoughts, but the adjective there pertains to the weather on a summer night, particularly this one I am experiencing right now.

Usually in the place where I'm at, the average day temperature for April-May would be 32 degrees Celsius. At night it would drop to a considerable 22 degrees C, the usual day temperature for the -ber months.

I am not talking about the weather just because there are no more things to talk about, but because the weather now is actually worth a blog entry. Err, I don't make proper sense, do I?

- oOo -

At night when I am waiting for me to fly off to dreamland, I would gaze up at the window screen. My bed is situated close to the wall where my window is, you see. I especially positioned it that way not only to have all the cool night breeze I want, but to gaze at the stars of the night sky and trying to find where Orion is as well, although it is almost always detectable. Othertimes I make up my own constellations, like how these bunch of stars could connect and make up what seems to be a Daisy for me. It is a great view, and I always thank God for me to experience little wonders like that. I just wished my part of the night sky isn't polluted by Light from the city just a mile or two away though.

But the night tonight is different. I expected to see my constellations, but all I saw where gray clouds. I could see patches of the dark-blue sky, but it is small enough to be appreciated. Also, the temperature was warmer than the previous cloudless nights.

Was it going to rain? I hope so. It's a good compromise from a starless-night.

I have been currently reading two books at the moment:

1.) A .pdf copy of David Levithan and Rachel Cohn's Dash and Lily's Book of Dares. I'm not yet halfway and from what I can see, it is a good book. I'm sure teenagers of 13-16 would love to read it. But I am way past beyond that age range. If only I could've read this earlier, I would have appreciated it more.

2.) The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein. It is a prelude to The Lord of The Rings epic trilogy. My bestfriend, Franz (Sis) lent me the book which was originally owned by her sister, Ate Georgia. I'm already about 9 chapters more till the end and all I can say is that it is truly a work of art. First time to read Tolkein's and it has delighted me.The only thing I regret though is that I wish I read the Trilogy first, as there have been side-notes and if-you-remember's in some parts of the story. I'm eager to finish the book and start reading The Fellowship of the Ring after. :D

You Can Never Outgrow God

  Do you think you can outgrow your God? Do you think because your situation now in life is different, feels much harder than those you face...
