Unexpected

I remember my mother telling me sometime ago, when our wedding prep started, that "life is made more interesting by things that we do not expect, by the mistakes we commit."

Interesting indeed...

Neither of us anticipated that the sunflowers at UP Diliman would die this early off the year. Seeing them dried up and wilted just this first of week of May almost made we weep.

How, for the life of me, did that happen? I clearly remember before that the university avenue would still be blindingly yellow even as the summer classes are about to end.

Even the ones in the small patch near the Oblation have lost their perkiness.

Sigh...

Curse ye, la niña.

Double sigh...
