So how's the weather today?

I can't tell, not right now. I mean I can't tell the weather right now, and  not that I'm going to find out later. It's 12 minutes after midnight as I write this. It's probably too dark to see outside, but I really can't prove it. I never have the guts to open the curtain at night, at least not without someone watching me.

Yesterday night I slept early because I wanted to wake up earlier. It failed horribly. Woke up an hour before noon, 4 hours after the planned wake-up time, even though I already carefully planned to sleep about an hour before I usually ends up sleeping. So for tonight I'm just going to let nature do it. I'm never much of an early-sleeper anyway, these days. My eyes persisted to have a more nocturnal schedule. I swear, they feel fresher at night. 

The sky was bright and sunny when I woke up this noon. The sort of picture-postcard perfect kind of summer afternoon when you just want to get outside and play under the sun. Not an uncommon weather, but it's definitely rarer than the awfully-too-bright noon that we usually get during the Dry Season.

The weather got weirder as the sun started to escalate to the west. At 1 it was cloudy; clouds which at the end produced no rain whatsoever. The sky was slightly dark in the afternoon and, frankly, gloomy. And it was, for some reason, silent. Except for the birds chirping and the occasional four-wheeled machines passing by. The dogs are even tonight than then. It was like the sky, the whole neighborhood, forgot what weather it was supposed to be in.

I took my two cats out to the front yard then, because they kept running into the off-limit backyard. Figured they need some sun. But it was a bad time to get some sun, as, as I 've already mentioned, the sky was dark. They enjoyed it anyway, sniffing around at all the new smells. Being outside (the backyard has high walls and is mostly roofed. Not much of a yard) is new and rare to them. They don't go out much.

Through the day, I didn't go outside farther than my fronyard, and that's only when I took the cats out, despite the weather. I don't really have to go anywhere, since my school's not going to start until mid-April. But it was still... awfully lonely when I think about it. I don't have many friends I'd like to go out with, and I've never communicated with my neighborhood friends since we were 7 years old. I played with them a lot back in those days, riding bicycles and playing in the park in front of our houses, all under the sunny sky.

It feels awkward to meet them now. We got so busy with our own new life.

I didn't go out yesterday either, and the day before that, nevermind how he weather is. It's like I won't ever get outside unless I really have to. All the things I need, I can get at home. I don't have to go out much, so I don't go out much. 

It's not sad, really. It's just awfully lonely, preceded with perfectly cheerful times. Funny, how it was like the weather today.
