Perseid Meteor Shower 2010
I wonder if anyone of you believes that Friday 13th brings bad luck. Because I do, there haven’t been any major catastrophe that happened to me as far as I can remember but I was made to believe that if the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday I should expect that something bad will happen to me. So while waiting for my husband to arrive tonight from his once in a blue moon night out without me (yes, you guessed it right, I fore go my night out tonight ). I was anxiously waiting for his return since it’s almost dawn already when I receive a call from him asking me to go outside to bring him a jacket. He just said it’s really too darn cold outside as this wee hour. Knowing that it really is cold I unwillingly oblige. Walking from our unit going to where he was parked I wondered why he was not anywhere where he parks. As I looked around I saw him parked right atop another street where street light had been scant. Walking towards him saw some sprinkle of lights which I mistakenly thought as a sign of a bad omen I sped off going towards him so we can go back home as fast as we can. So imagine my dismay when he asked me to sit atop the rear hood of our car just to marvel the vast sky. With cold seeping through my hoodie and my angst of him coming home this late. I just lean on and waited for him to make excuses. But he never said a word. He just looked up the sky for a good 20 minutes when suddenly he said, “Look up babe falling stars is trickling by two’s”. There and then I saw some falling stars drop fast from the sky. It was a beautiful sight to behold an experience of a lifetime I would say since we had been doing the meteor shower watching for 2 consecutive years together and it was only now that I was able to see such magnificent shower of light in the vast sky. We savor the moment for the next ten minutes and it was gone. Right after we got home I Googled the meteor shower and here’s what I found an really cool educational video about where the Perseid meteor shower come from and what causes it to appear every year.
