Gravity

Ah.. The force of nature ei? You can't just seem to inhibit it to take its course nor to avoid it.And just when you think everything's stable, then boom! Well, hello gravity! You are indeed powerful. In fact even if I tried ensuring the safety of my favorite mug,as in favorite, it surrendered to your power. It broke. It was my favorite mug for a lot of reasons- first,it was my mug when I was toiling on my undergraduate manuscript and two it was the first ever raffle prize i got myself. I felt lady luck smiled on me that day at SEARCA when we were attending a symposium. I sat on a lucky chair with a lucky number under it. The next thing I knew the MC was announcing my number and handing me over a box.I felt sooo happy about it. 'Twas my first.No mug can ever replace it, I guess.

Kinda weird though, coz two days before this happened, when I was sipping my coffee, i held my mug tightly in my lil hands and felt like it was the last time that I'd be able to fill it with coffee. I don't exactly know how to put it into words but I was so sure it was gonna break...soon. And yeah, awhile ago, it happened. And it was a remarkable fall.. no it flew, actually.. from our sala set to the kitchen sink. If you have been to our house you would probably know that it's quite far for such an incident. But yeah.. it's gone. And no matter how I have already "expected" (not that I would really like to use that word) it to happen; I wasn't just ready for that very moment when it happened.

I kinda hate the fact that I'm so good in breaking things. I hear a lot from my mom regarding this, since I was a kid. Probably, I could've broken a set or two of plates and drinking glasses. I hate it. I especially hate the feeling of staring at it on the floor and picking up the pieces, which I have cut myself with many times. I just hate it.

But as what my very good friend had put it; "it's time to let go of old things to make room for new ones."
