today, i was sitting on my bed and
observing the spectrum on my wooden floors.
the sunlight was creeping in through the window.
i took a picture with my miserable 2.0megapixels camera phone.
i'd never seen anything so splendid before.
(the spectrum, not the picture)


i made my way to my window and peered out.
the weather was unusually perfect
and the sky seemed to shimmer with possibilities! =D
i opened my window and, on impulse, i screamed.
"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


it wasn't enough. i wanted more.


"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


more! more! more!


"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


exploding with satisfaction,
i heard the echo of my shill scream accompanied by the chirping of birds.
it felt so good.
i laughed at the clueless people downstairs at the streets,
looking around,
probably expecting to see
a female barbarian brandishing a dead animal.
hah!


i was about to shut the window
when i spotted two boys at the opposite 30-storey-high block.
they were throwing paper planes down
from the corridor of the 28th storey!
i watched with glee.


one of the paper planes crashed after half a minute of floating around.
the other paper plane flew,
as free as the southern wind,
carried by the breeze
...as carefree as can be.
i stared longingly and enviously at it.
if flew for a minute or two, cherishing its moment of freedom,
which was all it had before it crashed.


i closed the window
and started to make my way back to my spot on the bed.
halfway, i stopped and headed back to the window.
i opened it.


"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

La vita e' bella. life is beautiful.
i dont know how come i'd never noticed,
but you only live once.

just like the paper plane.

La vita e' bella. life is beautiful.
