Autumn in October

It really is autumn here in Honjo. Around last week, you can't imagine that a new season had arrived. I guess because of the changing weather. During the last week of September to the first week of October, we experienced varying weather change. In the early mornings it was cloudy with a little drizzle then the warmth of the sun in the mid day. Also, we experienced lots of rains during these past few days which made it more difficult to recognized the change in season. But came Saturday (Oct. 7) where I thought (or so we thought) that it would still rain (a previous commitment was cancelled because every body thought that it would still rain since it was raining straight for the past two days). You can hear the howling of the wind and you can feel the coldness in the air coming from the mountains of Gunma and Niigata. The temperature is starting to drop and that even in the day, one should wear something comfortable as protection to the cold weather. In the streets of Honjo, you could see dead leaves fallen from the trees, blown by the wind. It really is autumn. And winter, yes winter is about to come. The preparation for the cold season has begun and I think I might as well prepare for it myself. Aaahhh what a lovely feeling autumn brings.

BAGUIO on my mind.

Its been raining since yesterday. Though it is not that heavy, still it feels cold. Ewan ko ba kung bakit ganito ang weather ngayon. Yesterday, there were some drizzle in the early parts of the morning and the sky was cloudy. I was still able to go to the bank and pay for my bills, but then around 11am it started to rain. And it never did stop. Until now.

It is cold. And times like this, I remember the cold climate of Baguio City. I missed the place. Though I am not shivering because of the cold weather, I just hate it because it made me miss Baguio City even more. Sigh...
