you know fall is here when the sun doesn't creep up as early as six in the morning anymore. the chilly air at half past six a.m. seeps through your pores and demands for attention that sends its 'signal' to the higher cognitive center which is then translated into random cravings--and it usually involves food. today, a good steaming cuppa hazelnut latte and a freshly baked double chocolate chip cookie the size of a saucer just out from the oven would be heavenly.
i'm a night person, but i'm also a morning person. i enjoy my short ride home, even if i would more-often-than-not be smacked in between a gigantic truck and some arrogant dangerous driver, and traffic is crawling at 10 to 20 mph. i like to see the sky light up, as if someone's up there painting it; and each day there's a different mishmash of colors you can never get bored looking at it. i don't think i've ever mentioned how much i cherish my morning jogs at the beach, breathing in the salty breeze, sweating, and listening to my heart thumping so hard. i'd much rather jog to the beach and back; i just don't have the stamina to do so yet. (but i will, it's just a matter of time.) i love how so many people go running and surfing in the morning. and every saturday there will be at least nine or ten teams of LA road runners practicing for their upcoming marathon, each team about 20 to 30 people running in pairs, each team running at their own speed. it inspires me so much to see them running effortlessly, someday i wanna be just like them. reckon it's much more fun to run with a group of people too. hmmm maybe i'll join one of the teams some time in the future.
on saturdays you get eye-candies too. scattered everywhere, you'll see groups of people of which there will be a guy who seemed to be the trainer, coaching a group of eight to ten rich middle-aged ladies, working them on various muscle-toning and strengthening exercises, cheering for them and yelling at them for speed and better postures. the coach is usually quite cute too, if i might add. :P i wonder how much they pay him for the sessions. then there are the couples jogging together; couples jogging and pushing their little ones in strollers; couples with dogs; cyclers in tight suits and pants; rollerbladers; skateboarders etc. and as you get closer to the pier, you'll see more tourists posing away for the instantaneous capture of memories. (speaking of which, i still have to edit my pictures i took the other day.)
morning, especially the wee hours just before sunrise, is my favorite time of the day. in many ways, i'm glad i work graveyard shift, because then instead of being stuck in traffic with millions of other people going to work in the morning, i get off work and get to enjoy the beautiful sunrise and morning, grab coffee and bagel at a cafe and read or study. i only wish i didn't have to sleep. then i'd have 24 hours to utilize and catch up on all the things i have yet to do.
there's never enough time to use, is there?
