Off the Cuff / My Other Journal

All-weather Paper

Paraffin and titanium oxide touched their magic wand, and voila, we got paper that we can write on under pouring rain.

Who'd have thought that one day I'd be able to write under our tropical showers without getting the words blurred? Surely, the words can get blurred due to blurred thinking, but aside from that, now I'll be able to put my ramblings down without having to find an excuse for not writing because of the weather.

Of course, this has to be on days when I am crazy enough to let myself get soaking wet. Don't laugh; it has happened many times over.

I always tell myself, "“If you don’t write it down, you won’t remember it.” Then, I always find an excuse for not writing it down.

Well, now I have no excuse. Now that we have the paper, I can't tell myself that it is raining and that's why I can't write. Not anymore!
