What I Learned from Watching an Eagle Nest Live Cam

Normally, we watch videos to keep us entertained. We expect these short, 10-minute or even 1-minute videos to be packed with laughs, surprises, and soundbites. It should be captivating enough to hold our attention and refrain us from switching to the next video. But tuning in to this live feed of a bald eagle nest where not much action happens, except for the occasional eating, brushing the snow off their feathers, or adjusting their positions, is surprisingly calming and inspiring. Even if it appears that they’re just sitting all day long, the eagles are actually working so hard, braving a snowstorm to keep their eggs warm.

Fake Twitter #29

Nagpasabog nanaman ang kalangitan. Nung past few days kasi maulap at ma-snow kaya walang sunrise. Ngayon sobrang maulap pa rin pero pilit nagpakita ang sinag ng araw. Medyo nire-represent ng sky ngayon ang saloobin ko. Salamat at napangiti mo nanaman ako ngayong umaga (which I badly needed).

Alone Time

Few days ago nagkaron ako ng sudden urge bumalik ng Japan. Di ko na i-eexplain pero basta paborito ko ang Japan sa lahat ng napuntahan ako. Tapos sabi ko kay Kenneth, punta kaming Japan. Si Kenneth naman sumasakay lang kasi alam naman nyang hindi posible. Tapos eventually, ni-let go ko na rin ang pagde-daydream ko kasi alam ko rin na hindi nga posible ngayon.

Mabisang Gamot

Pagbukas ko ng bintana, bumulagta sakin ang malawak na asul at matingkad na kahel. Sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam. Nakatitig lang ako ng ilang minuto habang nakangiti at nilalanghap ang sandaling ito. Inisa-isa kong tinitigan ang mga punong walang dahon at napansin kong umiindayog sila sa ihip ng hangin na mistulang kumakaway. Hindi maikakaila na panandalian nitong naiibsan ang lumbay at ligalig ng buhay—kahit ilang minuto lang. Salamat sa kamangha-manghang palabas. Sana bukas ulit.

Kakagutom

Still trying to finish my book report for ‘Recapture the Rapture’ at medyo drained na ko so titigil na muna ako. Sobrang nagustuhan ko kasi yung libro kaya gusto kong i-extract yung mga napulot ko at i-summarize ko sya in a way na madali ko syang maa-absorb. Pag magbabase lang kasi ako dun sa mga hinighlight ko, minsan kailangan ko pang basahin ng ilang beses bago ko ma-gets ulit. At least sa book report ko, sarili kong words so madali kong maiintindihan.

Gusto ko lang i-share yung isang part na sinulat ko kasi medyo connected rin sya dun sa last post ko.

Napatigil ako sa book reporting ko ng ‘Recapture the Rapture’ nung nabasa ko ulit yung isang hinighlight ko.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”
