The Night the Sky Turned Pink

Kinda tired doing errands for my brother; he requested a lot of stuff to be bought (cupcakes, unsweetened pineapple juice, mangoes, herbal tea, and a couple of pills for his fever). Well I did feel a bit responsible for infecting him with measles, so I guess doing a bit of shopping for him is no biggie.

I had a dinner of garden salad with a plate of spaghetti bolognese with Rose after buying the groceries, all for less than just $2.00~ *sigh* I'll miss the cheap thingies here once we're immersed with the expensive stuff in Japan. So we have to depend on Kai to restrain us from reaching inside our pockets so much, I won't be surprised if she suddenly sews our wallets shut.

After getting home, no one was answering the door. So I just sat on our patio's old steel chair, dropped my things on a nearby table, and stared at the sky.

It was already deep into the night yet I can still see the clouds... and they were pink, blanketing everything with the unusual hue. I was sucked into the moment. I didn't even bother to question why it was colored that way.

I don't know when I'll see a pink night sky again. But I'm certain it'll bring me back to this day when I just sat and stared, appreciating the weird beauty of nature after a tiring day at work.


Note: I guess any emotion I might've felt during that time can be expressed through this song. The melody and lyrics somewhat exude the same feelings the pink sky gave me: Melancholic, nostalgic, and weird.
