Snow, snow, snow...

It snowed. And snowed. Snowed. And Snowed...

I remember a time when snow doesnt fall from the sky. When all I ever wished for was a dream. Cast in imagination and filled with endless longing. Just imagine, being here, staying here, living up a unfathomable dream. But reality sinks in and I knew I wont be here but for my parents money. Just to see and touch snow, it counts. The money timer is continously running and every second cost just because I am here. It's easy to forgot the slogging that got me here. But somehow, it illuminates at the back of my mind, in between the white wonder and childish marvel of god-send serenity.

The wind roared through the skeleton trees and tiny ice cubes flew into my face. My fingers and toes were pain from the never ceasing cold but I had to pose for the camera.

I dressed unprepared. The last time it snowed was mild compared to this year. To combat the cold, I wore two thin shirts and one long-sleeve shirt, and finally my warm thin coat. A pair of jeans and ankle cotton socks and some unknown brand sport shoes, I was ready to head out and conquer the world. Of coz, I also finally gotten out my matching gloves and hat.

Well, few hours and one snow angel later, my fingers and toes were suffering from frostbite and it hurts so badly I took shelter in some buildings on campus that were still open. So the routine goes like this: Take pics, runs to warm buildings, take pics, runs again to another building.

My gloves were wet, my nose was running w/o me knowing. I touched it and realize...shit, the goo was already coming out. My pants was also wet because I made snow angel. At first, you can brush off the snow, but there will always be some stuck, and when you warm up, the snow melts and turns to ice. So guess what! Now my butt's wet.

PROPER ATTIRE: Wear ear muffs, waterproof gloves (e.g.leather), waterproof pants (e.g. those windbreaker material), waterproof shoes (e.g. leather). Good thing I have 'leather' shoes. My summer job, catering, required us to wear black shoes, so I bought one from wal-mart, scholl brand. Really comfy and looks professional too and frumpy to some, I suppose.

School closed two days in a row because of the snow. I am so darn happy. First snow to fall in Norman and campus had to close because of the 'hazardess' weather. I'm not complaining.

pls: Last year the snow was so thin, you cant even make snow angels. You fall and you hit the soil before you can even flap your arms. So this year is the best snowy year ever, I forgive the cold and the lifeless fingers and toes. Just give me the snow. :)

pls2: Its easier to drift. Think tokoyo drift. But of coz, the next day my friend tried to drift, the snow was so thick, its harder and the cops were around. I pity them. Still have to work. Hahahaha. ;p
