Fall in Love

I could sit under this lovely, lovely tree all day.

You see, my love affair with autumn began when I first read my all-time favorite novel A Walk to Remember. I fell even harder upon watching my most beloved Korean drama Autumn in My Heart [a.k.a. Endless Love 1].

Both are surprisingly tragic, though (not to mention the movie Autumn in New York which I have yet to watch) - which gets most people to think that falling leaves suggest sorrow. 

But I digress. For several reasons, autumn is a happy season :

1) It makes us wanna hug our loved ones, our pets -- even ourselves!

2) It convinces us that 'idleness during autumn' is actually 'productiveness.'

3) It teaches us about the beauty of our complicated life's simplicity.

Funny how I could easily make these assumptions in my vicarious-living-loving-mind. Haha. Of course, I'll never experience autumn in the Philippines. And at present, traveling abroad seems as unlikely as having the season here. 

Nonetheless, I wouldn't be surprised if I found a lot of smiling people already sitting down that tree before I could even make a move. And we'd be talking about how delightful autumn is.

All day. 8)
