(the musings of a thirteen-year-old teenager by the name of elena anunciado)

my has been on quite a jumble lately.  in fact, i've been thinking about this particular topic for endless nights, pondering over a simple question that in fact, isn't that simple.  the million dollar question, you suppose?  what is your favorite season?  i got asked this question sometime this week, and i haven't been able to pounce the inquisition just yet. must seem like a pretty answerable question, you suppose?  well it is, until you actually break each down piece by piece. 

summertime is all sunshine and rainbows (well, maybe not necessarily the latter) and did i say no school? but since my exploit to the east coast this past year, i've learned that the summer can become quite the opposite.  the spring time is perfect in all it's intermediate weather and IT'S MY BIRTHDAY glory, but stuffy noses and puffy eyes, and allergies in general aren't really my forte (not that they are to anyone, but...). the winter is blissful and christmas and snow and sparkles, but it gets kind of chilly.  and you sometimes get tired of dreaming off to thoughts of a sunny vacation to hawaii.  now, autumn on the other hand.  i had never really particularly liked this season before because i mean, come on, school starts, it's rainy and gloomy, and sickness is practically wafting through the air.  but i've had second thoughts on the season we are currently experiencing now.  in the fall time, the food is pretty epic (for the lack of a better word).  it's a fest of sweet potatoes and chestnuts (and all that asian harmony and harbogi jazz).  and although i may look like a ravenous squirrel preparing for hibernation when stuffing those delicious and nutrition packed chestnuts down my throat, it's definitely worth it. 

so, do you see what predicament i am in now? 


yeah, no, didn't think so.
