I hope that wasn't important.

[furb-u-lous]

So Furbies are sort of a new obsession for me. I recently found one that my grandmother bought me back in 1998, when they were brand new and all the rage. It was a green eyed Red Wolf. It was one of two gifts she would ever give me, because we had always been so far apart.

I took the Furby out of the box, cleaned up a little bit of corrosion in the battery compartment and voila. She was talking and dancing again. Still my old Mimi, even after moving more than 6 times, one of those 2500 miles.

Right after she was working again, I thought "oh it's sort of lonely for her, wish I had a friend for her!"

It was then that I remembered that my late mother had kept one too. This one was a limited edition from Easter. I searched the entire garage looking in boxes until I found it, then as I took it out, I was so excited I almost cried. It was filthy, but it was HERS. When we put batteries in, though, the speaker didn't work.

Basically, long story short is that I'm apparently a Furby doctor now. My dad and I managed to perform a speaker transplant from a speaker I found online. He talks now. After all the pulling apart and fear I'd mess it up, it turned on and introduced itself in a masculine voice as KaDa. It promptly said "I love you." I wonder if that's a message from my mom, but I'm very excited to be playing and loving them again, both for Mom and for my grandmother who bought me Mimi. I can't bring myself to rename these two anything but what they named themselves.

I introduced them, and they danced and promptly fell asleep.

Here is a picture of

Gold jewellery and Gudi Padwa are closely connected with centuries of celebrations being marked with the dazzle of traditional gold bangles, necklaces, earrings, anklets and more.

Pair it with other traditional jewellery for Gudi Padwa Pooja, such as jhumkas or a vanki (armlet), to create a layered look. The thushi’s versatility allows it to complement both sarees and lehengas, which is why a thushi necklace is a must-have for Gudi Padwa celebrations.

Pooja Ready: Simple yet stunning

Traditional jewellery for Gudi Padwa Pooja often includes understated yet elegant pieces. A delicate gold chain, small studs or even a simple nath can enhance your festive vibe without overpowering it. The key lies in choosing pieces that reflect the sanctity of the occasion while keeping you stylish.

Don’t shy away from experimenting with your look. Even a single statement piece can elevate your outfit, turning a simple saree into a regal ensemble. Think classic yet creative to strike the perfect balance.

How to Style Your Chura with Stunning Accessories in the UK

Bridal Chura is one of the most significant elements of an Indian bride’s wedding attire. Rooted in tradition and cultural symbolism, these beautiful red and white bangles signify prosperity, love, and marital bliss. While the Chura itself is a statement piece, styling it with the right bridal accessories enhances its beauty and completes the bridal look.

If you're a bride in the UK, you have access to a diverse range of stunning accessories to complement your Bridal Chura. Whether you're going for a classic, regal, or contemporary look, this guide will help you style your Chura with the perfect bridal accessories for your big day.

1. Understanding the Significance of the Bridal Chura

Before we dive into styling, let’s understand why Bridal Chura holds such importance:

Traditionally worn by Punjabi brides, Chura symbolizes prosperity and is believed to bring good fortune to newlyweds.

Typically made of red and white bangles, modern versions come in various colors and designs to match different bridal looks.

Brides usually wear the Chura for a specific duration after the wedding, ranging from a few days to months.

Since Chura is an essential part of your bridal look, styling it with the right accessories is crucial to achieving a harmonious and elegant appearance.

2. Matching Bridal Jewellery with Your Chura

Pairing the right jewellery with your Bridal Chura is key to enhancing your overall look. Here’s how to make the perfect match:

Gold Jewellery for a Classic Look

If your Bridal Chura has gold detailing, opt for traditional gold jewellery such as:

Kundan or Polki Necklace Sets – These add a regal touch and match the richness of gold-toned Chura.

Gold Jhumkas or Chandbalis – Perfect for balancing the look while adding elegance.

Matha Patti and Maang Tikka – Traditional headpieces that pair well with gold-accented Chura.

Diamond and Pearl Jewellery for a Modern Look

Brides who want a contemporary look can opt for:

Diamond and Pearl Necklaces – A sleek and elegant choice for pastel or ivory-colored Chura.

Minimalist Bracelets – If you’re wearing a heavily embellished Chura, go for subtle diamond or pearl bracelets to avoid an overpowering look.

Gemstone Jewellery for a Unique Touch

For brides who love colorful accessories, gemstone jewellery is a great option:

Ruby and Emerald Necklaces – These go well with green or red Bridal Chura.

Statement Earrings with Gem Accents – Enhance your outfit while keeping it classy.

Nose Rings (Nath) – A beautifully adorned nath with colored stones can complement your Chura.

3. Coordinating Your Bridal Outfit with the Chura

Your outfit plays a huge role in how you style your Chura. Here’s how to ensure a seamless match:

Red Chura with a Red Lehenga: Stick to classic gold jewellery with intricate detailing.

Pastel or Ivory Chura with a Light-Colored Outfit: Opt for pearls, diamonds, or rose gold accessories.

Customized Chura in Contrasting Shades: If your Chura features custom colors, pick jewellery with similar gemstone accents.

4. Adding Haath Phool and Rings

Haath Phool (hand ornaments) and rings are essential bridal accessories that beautifully complement the Chura.

Choose gold or Kundan Haath Phool for a traditional look.

If you prefer a modern approach, opt for delicate diamond or pearl hand chains.

Statement rings with gemstones or intricate designs can add a unique touch.

5. Styling Your Bridal Bangles with Chura

While the Chura itself is eye-catching, additional bangles can enhance its appeal.

Kadas (Thick Gold Bangles) – Traditionally worn on either side of the Chura to add definition.

Glass or Metal Bangles – Mixing in matching bangles with your Chura can create a personalized touch.

Thread or Floral Bangles – Perfect for pre-wedding events like the Mehendi or Haldi ceremony.

6. Enhancing Your Look with a Statement Clutch

A statement clutch can be a stylish and practical accessory for your big day. Choose one that complements your Chura and overall outfit.

Embroidered or Beaded Clutches – Great for a traditional look.

Crystal or Pearl-Encrusted Clutches – Ideal for contemporary brides.

Personalized Clutches – Featuring your initials or wedding date for a unique touch.

7. Footwear to Pair with Your Chura Look

The right footwear will complete your bridal look while ensuring comfort.

Traditional Juttis – Embellished juttis match beautifully with gold or Kundan jewellery.

Embroidered Heels or Sandals – Perfect for modern brides who want a blend of tradition and style.

Comfortable Flats or Kolhapuris – Ideal for post-wedding events while keeping the elegance intact.

8. Hairstyles and Hair Accessories

Your hairstyle and hair accessories should complement both your Bridal Chura and overall look.

Floral Gajras – Traditional brides can enhance their look with floral accents.

Embellished Hairpins or Maang Tikkas – Ideal for a more sophisticated and regal style.

Bridal Headbands or Crowns – Perfect for brides who want to add a modern touch to their ensemble.

9. Choosing the Right Dupatta Draping Style

Your dupatta draping style can either highlight or overshadow your Bridal Chura. Here’s what works best:

Over the Shoulder with Open Hands – Ensures your Chura remains the focal point.

Side Drape with Bangles Exposed – A stylish way to flaunt your bridal bangles.

Double Dupatta with a Sheer Veil – Adds elegance while keeping your Chura visible.

10. Final Styling Tips for a Flawless Look

Balance is Key – Avoid overwhelming your look by keeping some accessories minimal.

Personalization Adds Ch arm – Custom touches like engraved jewellery or monogrammed accessories make your look unique.

Comfort Matters – Make sure your accessories, especially bangles, are comfortable enough to wear throughout the wedding day.

Match with Groom’s Attire – Coordinating accessories with your groom’s outfit creates a harmonious bridal look.

Final Thoughts

Styling your Bridal Chura UK with the right accessories in the UK is all about blending tradition with personal style. Whether you choose a classic, modern, or fusion look, selecting complementary jewellery, bangles, and accessories will elevate your bridal ensemble. Remember to focus on comfort, balance, and personalization to achieve the perfect wedding-day appearance.

The Ultimate Guide to Saree Color Combinations for the Festive Season

Festivals in India aren’t just events—they’re emotions that strike your heartstrings. It’s the sound of crackers, the warmth of loved ones, the aroma of festive treats, and of course, the joy of dressing up! But let’s be real—choosing the perfect saree colour combination can feel like solving a Rubik’s cube. No worries, because we’ve got you covered. From what suits your skin tone to how to accessorize and even which footwear to pick, here’s your cheat sheet to owning this festive season. Let’s dive in!

Top Saree Color Combinations

1. Magenta with Multicolored Stripes

Let’s kick things off with a burst of energy. The magenta saree with multicolored stripes is the ultimate mood booster. Perfect for a mehendi or haldi function, this saree screams “Main character energy!” If you’ve got a medium to dusky skin tone, the magenta hue will make you glow brighter than the decor. Pair it with oxidized silver jhumkas and comfy embroidered juttis. Oh, and ditch the heavy necklaces—this saree doesn’t need competition.

2. Forest Green with Geometric Patterns

This one’s for the CEO of Effortless Elegance. A forest green saree with geometric patterns is a sophisticated choice for pujas. Its earthy tone pairs beautifully with fair to wheatish skin tones. Accessorize minimally—a pair of gold studs and a slim kada will do the trick. As for footwear, tan block heels are your best bet. They’re comfy enough to survive that one auntie’s never-ending questions.

3. Olive Green with Heritage Prints

Think of this as the saree equivalent of old-school charm. The olive-green saree with heritage prints is timeless, making it ideal for intimate family gatherings. It suits all skin tones but especially pops on dusky beauties. Avoid pearls (too mellow) and opt for antique gold jewellery instead. Beige kolhapuris are your perfect partner-in-crime for this heritage beauty. Trust us, you’ll be the talk of the town.

4. Ivory with Multicolored Floral Motifs

Ivory is like that one friend who makes everything better. An ivory saree with multicolored floral motifs is subtle yet festive. Vibrant floral motifs add just the right dash of colour, making it ideal for daytime events. This one’s a favourite for fair-skinned beauties, but it looks stunning on everyone. Keep it fresh with a bright blouse and delicate earrings. And remember, no bulky shoes! Nude heels or pastel mojris will keep the look light and breezy.

5. Midnight Black with Floral Patterns

Who said black isn’t festive? A midnight black saree with floral patterns breaks all stereotypes. Perfect for evening parties, this saree makes you look like a walking Instagram filter. The deep black base with vibrant floral patterns suits all skin tones. Pair it with emerald drop earrings and a bold red lip. Just don’t overdo the jewellery—this saree already knows how to shine. Complete the look with black strappy heels for some serious badass vibes.

6. Royal Purple with Pichwai Motifs

Royal purple isn’t just a colour; it’s an attitude. A royal purple saree with Pichwai motifs is all about owning your regal vibe. The intricate motifs and rich hue make it perfect for weddings or festive galas. Dusky skin tones, this one will light you up like Diwali diyas! Pair it with a long gold necklace (skip chokers here) and metallic gold wedges. Add a dramatic winged eyeliner, and you’re ready to channel your inner queen.

Quick Tips:

Jewellery Dos and Don’ts: Avoid matching your jewellery and saree colours exactly—contrast is key! For floral sarees, go light on the bling. For solid colours, feel free to go bold.

Footwear Fix: Sparkly sarees? Stick to neutral shoes. Subtle sarees? Go wild with metallic or embellished footwear.

Blouse Love: Don’t shy away from experimenting with blouse designs. Think halters, sequins, or even fun backless styles.

Lipstick Match: Red sarees and red lips? Meh. Try nude, peach, or pink for a fresher look. For darker sarees, a bold lip always wins.

Shine Your Brightest This Festive Season

Sarees aren’t just outfits; they’re an emotion. And this festive season, embrace a palette of colours and designs that celebrate you. Whether you’re flaunting magenta stripes at a mehendi or rocking midnight black at a cocktail party, there’s a saree for every vibe, every mood, and every story. So, get ready to glow, twirl, and own every room you walk into. Because festivals aren’t just about lights—they’re about shining your brightest! ✨

Which combo are you crushing on? Let us know and make this festive season your most stylish one yet!

A Complete Guide to the Different Types of Bangles

Bangles are timeless accessories that have adorned wrists for centuries, representing cultural heritage, tradition, and personal style. Available in a variety of materials, designs, and styles, bangles can be both traditional and contemporary. This guide explores the different types of bangles, their significance, and how to style them for different occasions.

The Cultural Significance of Bangles

Bangles hold deep cultural and symbolic meanings across the world. In India, they are worn by brides as a sign of prosperity and marital happiness, while in other cultures, they symbolize status, wealth, and spiritual beliefs. Over the years, bangles have evolved beyond tradition and have become fashion statements embraced globally.

Types of Bangles

1. Metal Bangles

Metal bangles, often made of gold, silver, or platinum, are widely cherished for their durability and elegance. Gold bangles are especially significant in Indian culture, symbolizing prosperity and marital bliss. Silver bangles, on the other hand, are known for their health benefits and aesthetic appeal. Platinum bangles, though rare, offer a luxurious and modern touch.

2. Glass Bangles

Glass bangles are vibrant, delicate, and widely worn in South Asia. These bangles come in various colors and are often associated with celebrations and festivals. In Indian weddings, brides wear red and green glass bangles as a symbol of good fortune and happiness. The delicate tinkling sound they make is also considered auspicious.

3. Lac Bangles

Lac bangles are handcrafted from natural resin and are known for their intricate designs and bright colors. These bangles are especially popular in Rajasthan, India, and are often embellished with beads, stones, and mirror work. They are lightweight, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods.

4. Wooden Bangles

Eco-friendly and stylish, wooden bangles offer a unique, rustic appeal. They are commonly hand-painted or carved with intricate patterns and are perfect for casual or bohemian looks. Wooden bangles can also be polished or coated with lacquer for a glossy finish, adding an earthy charm to any outfit.

5. Plastic Bangles

Affordable and available in countless designs, plastic bangles are a popular choice for everyday wear. They come in a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes, making them a fun and versatile accessory. They are especially popular among young girls and are often mixed with other types of bangles to create stylish stacks.

6. Stone-Studded Bangles

These bangles are adorned with precious or semi-precious stones, enhancing their beauty and making them ideal for special occasions. Gemstones like rubies, emeralds, and diamonds add a touch of elegance to any outfit. Stone-studded bangles are often paired with traditional attire for weddings and festive celebrations.

7. Thread Bangles

Thread bangles, wrapped in colorful silk or cotton threads, are lightweight and stylish. They are often handcrafted and can be customized with beads, pearls, and charms to match different outfits. These bangles provide a unique blend of tradition and modernity, making them suitable for both ethnic and casual ensembles.

8. Kada Bangles

Kada bangles are thick, rigid, and usually made of metal. They are a significant part of Sikh and Punjabi culture, often worn by both men and women as a symbol of strength and faith. Some kada bangles are intricately designed with engravings, while others are simple and unadorned, representing spiritual devotion.

9. Cuff Bangles

Unlike traditional bangles, cuff bangles have an open-ended design, making them easy to wear and adjust. They are modern, stylish, and available in a variety of materials like metal, leather, and resin. Cuff bangles are perfect for stacking with other bracelets or wearing as standalone statement pieces.

10. Acrylic Bangles

Acrylic bangles are lightweight and available in vibrant colors and patterns. They are perfect for casual wear and can mimic the look of glass or metal bangles without the fragility or heaviness. These bangles are great for adding a pop of color to any outfit and are particularly trendy among fashion-conscious individuals.

How to Style Bangles for Different Occasions

Bangles can be styled in multiple ways to enhance any outfit. Here are some styling tips:

Traditional Events & Weddings: Opt for gold, stone-studded, or glass bangles paired with ethnic attire like sarees or lehengas for an elegant look.

The Allure of Baluchari Silk Sarees: Crafting Beauty from Bengal

Baluchari silk sarees are more than just a piece of clothing; they are a testament to the rich cultural heritage and intricate craftsmanship of Bengal. Known for their breathtaking artistry, vibrant colors, and historical significance, these sarees are cherished not only in India but across the globe. The allure of Baluchari silk sarees lies in the delicate weave, the detailed motifs, and the timeless elegance that each piece embodies.

A Glimpse into the History of Baluchari Silk Sarees

Baluchari silk sarees originate from the town of Baluchar in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal. The tradition of weaving these sarees dates back to the 18th century during the reign of the Nawabs of Bengal. These sarees were once worn by royalty and aristocrats, with the intricate designs and patterns reflecting their status and sophistication.

The weaving of Baluchari sarees involves a specialized technique known as jamdani weaving, a fine art that requires immense skill and patience. The motifs used in these sarees often depict mythological scenes, historical events, and elements from nature, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Bengal.

The Craftsmanship Behind Baluchari Silk Sarees

What sets Baluchari silk sarees apart from other sarees is the exquisite craftsmanship that goes into creating each piece. The sarees are woven on traditional handlooms using high-quality silk threads, which give them their characteristic softness, sheen, and luxurious texture.

One of the defining features of Baluchari silk sarees is the intricate pallu (the portion of the saree draped over the shoulder). The pallu often depicts elaborate motifs, including scenes from Hindu mythology such as Rama’s exile, Mahabharata battles, and Krishna’s leelas. These motifs are created using the jamdani technique, where the weaver intertwines the silk threads to form complex patterns that stand out from the rest of the fabric.

The borders of Baluchari sarees are equally noteworthy, often adorned with floral patterns, paisleys, and geometric designs. Each saree tells a story through its weave, showcasing the mastery of the artisan.

The Alluring Colors and Textures

Baluchari silk sarees are known for their rich, vibrant colors that range from deep maroons and emerald greens to bright reds and golds. The use of gold and silver zari (thread) adds a touch of opulence, giving the sarees a royal and luxurious feel. The interplay of these colors with the fine silk base creates a visual feast, making each saree not just a garment, but a work of art.

The texture of a Baluchari silk saree is another key aspect that enhances its allure. The silk used in these sarees is soft yet sturdy, with a rich sheen that gives it a regal appearance. The weight of the saree is typically heavy, which adds to its draping elegance, making it an ideal choice for special occasions and celebrations.

Why Baluchari Silk Sarees Are Special

Baluchari silk sarees are not merely a fashion statement; they are a symbol of culture, tradition, and artistry. The intricate motifs, the painstaking weaving process, and the vibrant colors make these sarees a prized possession for anyone who appreciates the finer aspects of craftsmanship.

For many, wearing a Baluchari silk saree is a way to connect with the cultural richness of Bengal. Whether it’s a wedding, festival, or any special occasion, these sarees add a touch of sophistication and grandeur that is unmatched by any other fabric. The allure of Baluchari silk sarees is in their timeless beauty and their ability to reflect the deep cultural roots of India’s weaving traditions.

How to Style a Baluchari Silk Saree

Baluchari silk sarees, with their opulence and grandeur, are perfect for formal events such as weddings, traditional festivals, and family gatherings. Pair them with traditional gold jewelry, such as heavy necklaces, jhumkas (earrings), and kadas (bracelets) to elevate the overall look. A simple, yet elegant, hairdo like a bun or pleats, along with makeup that accentuates the eyes and lips, can complete the classic, regal look.

For a modern twist, one can opt for contemporary accessories such as metallic clutch bags and statement heels, giving the saree a more versatile, fusion appearance. With its timeless elegance, a Baluchari silk saree can transcend generations, continuing to be a sought-after piece for fashion lovers and collectors alike.

Conclusion

Baluchari silk sarees are more than just garments—they are a piece of Bengal’s rich cultural heritage. Woven with centuries of history, intricate designs, and unparalleled craftsmanship, these sarees are a true symbol of elegance, grace, and artistic mastery. Whether you are a collector, a connoisseur of fine textiles, or someone looking for a statement piece for a special occasion, the allure of a Baluchari silk saree is undeniable.

significance of green bangles

The steel kada is a simple yet powerful accessory, commonly worn by Sikhs and individuals of various backgrounds for its cultural significance, physical benefits, and symbolic meaning. Originating in Sikhism, the kada is a circular bangle typically made of steel, representing strength, unity, and an unbreakable bond with ethical values. Beyond its cultural meaning, the steel kada is also considered beneficial for physical health and mental well-being. Here’s a closer look at the multifaceted benefits of wearing a steel kada.

1. Cultural Significance and Personal Symbolism

The steel kada holds a prominent place in Sikh culture and is one of the "Five Ks" worn by Sikhs to symbolize commitment to their faith and values. For Sikhs, the kada is a constant reminder of the virtues of honesty, humility, and compassion. Its circular shape, with no beginning or end, represents eternity and the continuity of life, reminding the wearer to stay connected to their roots and values. Even beyond Sikhism, the kada is appreciated by people from different cultures who wear it as a symbol of strength, protection, and resilience. Wearing a steel kada serves as a reminder of the importance of ethical living, unity, and the resilience required to face life’s challenges.

2. Health Benefits: Improved Blood Circulation and Joint Health

Wearing a steel kada is believed to offer certain health benefits, although these are rooted more in traditional beliefs than scientific studies. One commonly suggested benefit is its potential to improve blood circulation. When worn on the wrist, the kada applies gentle pressure to the pulse points, which may help stimulate blood flow in the hand and fingers. This improved circulation could be particularly helpful for those who experience stiffness or discomfort in their wrists or hands. For some wearers, the steel kada may even offer relief from minor joint pains, as it helps maintain natural movement in the wrist area.

3. Emotional Well-being: Grounding and Calming Effects

Steel is considered a grounding material, associated with stability and focus. Wearing a steel kada can be calming, promoting emotional balance by providing a sense of connection to one's values and grounding energy. The kada’s weight and presence on the wrist act as a gentle reminder to remain present, mindful, and connected to personal beliefs and traditions. This grounding effect can be especially helpful during stressful or overwhelming situations, giving the wearer a sense of inner strength and resilience.

4. Hypoallergenic and Durable Material

One practical benefit of a steel kada is that it is hypoallergenic and safe for most skin types, unlike some metals that can cause irritation or allergic reactions. Stainless steel is a popular choice for kadas because of its durability and resistance to rust and tarnish. This makes it ideal for everyday wear, as it can withstand regular activities and still maintain its shine and quality over time. Wearing a steel kada ensures that you don’t have to worry about skin reactions, making it suitable for both sensitive and active individuals.

5. Spiritual and Mental Benefits

Many people wear a steel kada to strengthen their sense of self-discipline and focus. The kada acts as a reminder to adhere to one’s values, encouraging moral integrity and ethical living. For those who practice mindfulness, the kada can serve as a focal point during meditation, enhancing spiritual growth. The simplicity of the kada, combined with its strong symbolism, allows wearers to feel more connected to their spiritual journey and personal purpose.

6. Versatility and Style

Beyond its health and cultural benefits, the steel kada is a versatile piece that complements a wide range of outfits, from traditional attire to modern styles. Its understated design allows it to be worn by people of all ages, genders, and styles, making it an appealing accessory for many. The simplicity of the steel kada adds a unique charm, letting it serve as a subtle statement of strength and identity without drawing excessive attention.

In conclusion, the steel kada is more than just an accessory; it’s a meaningful piece that embodies cultural heritage, emotional grounding, and physical wellness. Whether worn for religious, personal, or health-related reasons, the steel kada carries a unique blend of significance that enhances the life of the wearer. It serves as a constant reminder of resilience, inner strength, and values, making it a valuable part of daily life for many people across the world.

That night the blue of the inside of the jeepney looked so vivid to my eyes. i wanted to take a photograph but i got shy. the blue just…glows and reaks towards the outisde of the jeep. vivid, too, then, in my eyes were the warm glow of the vehicle and establishment and street lights that night… i got shy. and i thought i'd forget to write about it but here i am now.

and why i thought about that now: right now my room is (playing right now: A1 - It's just a burning memory by The Caretaker) lit up blue and green. i have to. because beside me, 45 degrees of my window is the window of a man we suspect schizophrenic who has been having major episodes for days now. the first month i moved in here i was already listening to him rant and rant and rant. anyway. i am reading on my laptop screen and i just set my nightlight settings to maximum. now, it is yellow. contrasting the blue green lighting of my room. why i remembered that night that we were on our way to the airport. you left for your airplane. to thailand. and i got back home alone. at home i was obssesively tracking your flight. how many feet above me you were. how many miles you are away from me. how many more minutes left until the plane's declared arrival.

Naaalala ko. Asul na asul noon ang loob ng dyip. Naisip kong kuhanan ito ng litrato ngunit nahiya ako sa iyo. Alam kong tagos sa mga bintana ng dyip ang liwanag nito, kumokontra sa mainit na liwanag ng mga nagdaraang sasakyan, street lights, at ilaw ng mga establisyemento. Nahiya ako. Akala ko nga ay malilimutan ko nang magsulat pa tungkol sa tanawing iyon pero ito ako ngayon, asul na asul din ang ilaw sa kwarto. Hindi ko maiwasang isipin na umaayon madalas ang kalagayan ng estranghero kong kapitbahay sa kalagayan ko. (Noo'y ilang araw siyang ngawa nang ngawa habang nang magsimula naman siyang tumahimik ay siyang naging panahon din ng tuluyang pagpapalaya ko sa sarili.) Ngayong gabi ay itinodo ko ang nightlight setting ng aking laptop screen. Dilaw na dilaw.

Noong gabi na nahiya akong kunan ng litrato ang asul na asul na loob ng dyip, umuwi ako nang mag-isa mula sa paliparan. Binagtas ko ang kasagsagan ng Tramo, alas dose ng hatinggabi. Pag-uwi, parang baliw kong sinusubaybayan ang landas ng inyong eroplano, ung gaano kayo ka-taas mula rito sa ikalawang palapa. Nahiya ako. Rinig ko ang paggalaw ng tubig sa tangke sa kabilang panig nitong pader ng palikuran at ang naalala ko ay ang hikbi ng aking pusa bago nito isuka ang sariling balahibo mula sa paglilinis ng katawan at sabik na pagnguya at pagkain ng damo. Mahigit dalawang libong kilometro ang layo mo ngayon sa akin, 460 nautical miles kada oras, labing-siyam na minuto bago ang paglapag.

Umuulan nanaman ngayong walay kayo pero kaysa sa patak ng ulan ay halos marinig ko na ang abiso ng airlines para sa inyong landing.

Naisuka na kaya ng pusa ko ang kumpol ng balahibo?

Simula nang matahimik, nabigyan na kaya ang aking kapitbahay ng karampatang tugon?

Kailan kaya aayon ang nilalakbay ng aking utak sa kung san ako nakatapak?
