i'm supposed to be studying right now, about the relationships that exist inside triangles and circles. sine and cosine waves repeating in periods and cycles. my mind keeps wandering

as a kid i used to feel badly when i threw away old toothbrushes or broke cups or lost things because i felt as if those old, lost, broken, inanimate things knew i betrayed them.
i know that feeling too! except for me, i was most scared of the stuffed animals and dolls i gave away. i always felt like they would resent me so much for leaving them behind, that they would come back for me, and do things to me in my sleep.
Hello! I'm Lee. We're both friends with Lindsay (crashing-buses, though I'm sure you knew who I meant!) and I journal-hopped from there over to here. How would you like to try being friends too? :D You're from the Philippines, is that right? Years ago I watched a travel show by Michael Palin called Full Circle where he travelled through a lot of South East Asia and I was so drawn to the Philippines, I couldn't even really explain why. But, I taught myself a little Tagalog (which has all evaporated now, of course) and thought over and over about how you have, on average, 200 hurricanes a year - I could never quite wrap my mind around the tumult of that. Anyway, I hope I'm right about you being from there because otherwise, that was a big ramble for nothing! And it's beside the point anyway, really, because I'm adding you for the fact you write beautifully and because I like to get to know people who like to get to know people. And I think you do.
hello hello miss Lee :D yes i am! i have lived in the Philippines for all 18 years of my life so far. but i shall be moving away in a few months, flying like a migrating bird, to try life out in a new place. it's very scary, and there are many reasons to do it and not to do it.
the many hurricanes are not so bad, and they get to be very familiar -- everyone here accepts them like routine, so it's nothing surprising when we have floodwaters till our waists during rainy season. we wade, we make rafts, we stay indoors with radios on, not-too-afraid, mostly.
thankyou for the kind words. i do like to get to know people! i shall add you back this very moment. you have amazing diction, i love your articulate ways.
Wow, where are you moving to now? Is it for school, are you moving alone, or with family? I always think and think and think how I want to get out of this city but then when I really think about it, I can't imagine a life where I don't live in this room in this house with my mum downstairs and my shampoo in the bathroom.
i'm following my family -- where they go, i go. :) we're headed to halifax, nova scotia. i visited there, last year, to see what it was like before we moved. it scares me a lot. i am happy it's near the ocean (growing up in an archipelago, i will always love the ocean), but brrrr! to my tropical heart, every kind of weather there is cold!
there really is such a comfort to knowing it's your soap&shampoo in the bathroom, isn't there? you made me think about that, and it's true. haha :D
