The First Sunrise of 2013

Have you ever thought of keeping your eyes wide open just to witness the first majestic entrance of the sun this year? Whether it's a yes or no, I know it's a priceless experience to see the extravagant shades of orange, yellow, red, and pink in the sky. When those colors shimmer in the light, sunrise seems an enchantment in our eyes. 

  

A nocturnal being like me rarely witness one. It's like looking for an aurora borealis in the middle of the day. Because there was a slight chance of embracing the first sunrise, I totally grabbed it like a kid who wants to eat the first slice of a luscious ham.

I, an undeniable loner, decided to invite friends to be with me. Gladly, they came and greeted me with an insult. Hahaha! Then, I took the camera out from my bag and changed its lens. But here's the best part! (dun dun duuuuun!) I realized that I just left my SD card. WHAT A SHAME! At that moment, I hated myself more than I hated Piattos and its smell. Disappointment was running in our blood. It's an omen of my own apocalypse. What a good thing to start 2013, right?

However, I glanced to the breathtaking sunrise. It sprang hope. Suddenly, I used my guts and smile to borrow a SD card from an unacquainted cunning photographer namely Mavi. 

 

“Hi. Good Morning. Happy New Year! I'm Elle. I have my camera right here, see? But, I left my SD card and it sucks to be me right now. Can I borrow yours?”

For the record, it was one of my most embarrassing moments that I can’t and won’t forget. (facepalm)

I don't have the slightest idea why she said “YES” but I'm really thankful. No exact words can describe her kindness. Immediately, I photographed the beautiful scene of Seagull along with my E.P.O.S friends.

After what happened, believe it or not, I came up with a realization.

1. No matter how hard you try to make it perfect - mistakes are inevitable. If you can't change your situation, then change your reaction.
   
   
2. Everything happens for a reason. I lost the chance to take unlimited shots of the beautiful scenery. However, I gained a relationship. And, that's lovelier than my photos.
   
   
   
   
                                    
    
3. I thank God for a well – done creation: Sunrise. 
     
4. Friends are the spices of my life. They make my life more delicious. . . (Wait, it sounds SO WRONG! Hahaha!) Even if Jopal, Paolo, and Sky are fond of making fun of me, I appreciated their presence. I knew that they really wanted to marry their respective beds at that time. Seriously, I never thought of spending my first sunrise (2013) with them. (*puking* )
   
   
                                   
   
   
5. Lastly, thou shall not forget your new friend's name.
