`star gaze..

I had a funny story some weeks ago. I heard from a news program on television about a meteor shower happening on a Saturday midnight that week. So what I did was set my phone to alarm 15 minutes before midnight to remind me of the event. Saturday arrived and since I was doing nothing that night, I decided to stand by on our terrace earlier so that I will not miss the show. At 11:30 I was already sitting and staring at the stars. An hour has passed but I still don’t see anything. I thought that there was only a delay and that they just predicted the time inaccurately so I still waited. After 15 minutes I was thrilled because I finally saw a shooting star, so I gazed again because I was expecting that I’ll be seeing lots of falling stars. I was even avoiding blinking because I don’t want to miss a single star. But to my dismay, nothing else followed. I waited until 1:30 am but still not a single star fell. So I gave up. I went back into my room and throw myself on my bed. As I was lying, I suddenly felt stupid for what I did and laughed at myself. I can’t imagine I really waited that long just to watch the meteor shower and for believing that it will really happen. But then I thought what if I was gazing at the wrong direction? What if I did not wait long enough or maybe the meteor shower happened earlier before I went out? My only consolation was the single shooting star I saw.

Hahay! FOOL!!! (--,)
