Just the way it is...

I was only a kid when I last saw an astronomical event they call eclipse – a solar eclipse where the sun seems to disappear during the day and the sky darkens in a matter of minutes. Rare events like this is something I care less for until I’ve seen a total lunar eclipse for the first time somewhere in my teenage years. It was amazing! However, I wasn’t a blogger yet then and I can only appreciate things that were happening around so much because I don’t possess gadgets like a decent camera yet that time and maybe even if I do, I doubt if I bother knowing I have nothing to use the pictures for.

I felt bad I missed the last Lunar Eclipse in June this year. So when I heard about the December 10 one, I tried to pay attention. I kept myself busy and tried to work away from my bed just so I won’t get tempted to lay down and doze off. I even purposely made late dinner leaving myself starve a bit. That was one hell of sacrifice I just did for the sake of that event and yet I feel I still failed. I literally missed the part when the moon turned red and and only left with this instead…
