Hit a tripwire of smell ...

... and memories explode all at once. A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth.

Sabi yan ni Diane Ackerman.

And it holds true for me.
I have a very sensitive gustatory system (kaya ako mahilig kumain -- heehee excuses, excuses blahdy-dah) pero kahit na my nose is not matangos, mas sensitive yung pang smell ko kesa taste.

and i bleed it. no hindi yung nose ko -- never nag bleed yun :p. i mean ine-exploit ko talaga yung sensitivity na yun.

i trigger memories. sadya. self-induced harhar. kaya ko i-transport yung diwa ko from here and now to my happy place basta naka pikit (or blindfold *wink*) tapos papa-smell mo lang ako ng something na i associate with that happy place.
eh yung memorya ko pa naman pang elepante, so very detailed yung montage na nag u-unfold.

eh i miss the beach.
bitin ka summer. boo to you!

this is the first weekend after 6 weeks na hindi na dampian ng araw yung balat ko.
hassle kasi yung rain eh :p

so yun, kanina nung naliligo ako, sinabay ko yung coconut scented body wash na sa bath salt (para maalat hahaha pretensyosa!), tapos slather the coconut scented lotion all over and then spritz ng exotic coconut na body spray hahahaha.

yun lang.
walang point, yun lang.

naks, quoting diane ackerman and meron pa akong gustatory system na nalalaman eh ang bottom line is gusto ko lang i-share na amoy latik na ako.

pwede na ako ipartner sa suman.

it's settled.

the etch-a-sketch that is my life?
i shook it.
really hard.
now it's a clean slate.
i'm more careful now with turning the knobs.

no more doodling.

this time, the drawing will make sense.

people around me notice it too.
i've even been accused of being in love.

nge.

claustrophobic

too close.
can't breathe.
need to get away.

friday five

1. Are you a back, stomach, or side sleeper? Does it change throughout the night?
--> Side. I know I do but when I wake up, I'm usually in the same position when I slept.

2. Do you have any bad sleeping habits (snoring/tooth grinding/talking/walking)?
--> Grind ehehehe.

3. How many hours of sleep do you average per night?
--> 4-6 hours usually but when I'm super tired i can do a Rip Van winkle :p

4. Are you a sound sleeper or do you wake up a lot?
--> Sound whne in a familiar place but I wake up a lot when I'm not comfy or settled.

5. Are you a "cold" or a "hot" sleeper? (i.e., Do you wear flannel pajamas and bury yourself under mountains of blankets, or do you throw your windows wide open in the middle of winter and complain about the heat?)
--> Cold. I like to burrow hihihi.
