New year burn

I cannot sleep. Actually I find it uncomfortable to lie down. a thousand myriad thoughts are invading my peaceful mind making it restless...
I wonder what cecile is doing right now.
I wonder if my mom is still up...
I reached for my almost dead batt phone and then changed my mind...my fingers are too painful I am almost scared to move them....
OK, its not that bad..im just lazy. =P
I'm not that lonely and desperate.
Plus I need to rest.

I Spent the New Year island hopping and here I am now -- burnt and crisp to the bones.
Makes me think...so this is what i waited in line for two hours at the barge eh?
The only thing that is white right now are my eyeballs...oh yeah...my lips...the water was so salty my lips was so pale. waaaah!!!!

But it was so much fun. We caught a dead puffer fish (yes, I said dead--so?), an octupus, gathered sea urchins (planning to have them for dinner but opted for the cup noodles instead --safer too), and collected the all-time favorite sea stars. In the collection of sea stars, we found the star of Bethelehem. Notice how the star that guides the sheperds have this weird 4 star "wings"...We found a sea star that is just that...It's kinda odd though...The bethelem star is shining, that's why the missing one "arm" is not that prominent...this sea star we found...was thorny...hardly a compensation for its deficiency to shine. But sea stars are not supposed to shine, moron.
