falling star + wishes

Saw a falling star this evening while i was on my way to church. I was a bit hesitant if it's real or not but it is. I’ve seen falling star before but tonight is different because it falls almost near in my location. It’s like a big, long tadpole with vibrant colors and because of my amazement i wasn’t able to utter my wishes! It's too fast! Yun un e! They say, you should utter your wishes before it falls on the ground but what happened to me was I just utter my wishes when it’s almost vanishing coz I’d just stare and says…wow falling star! :D

Hmmm…wait…now i'm wonderin' if where did this belief comes from anyway??? Is it real? Anyway, here’s the answer in my oddity. It says here ”Most children are familiar with the superstition that a wish made on a shooting star will come true. While no one knows exactly where or when the tradition of wishing on a shooting star arose, it is undoubtedly linked to the beauty and relative rarity of shooting stars and humanity's eternal fascination with the heavens. Stars have been associated since ancient times with divine powers, and even today, some people associate shooting stars with angels, so wishing on a star may be akin to offering a prayer.” So there you go! We all thought that it comes directly from heaven when the truth is it comes from the outer space. It’s a meteoroid’s debris from space that enters our atmosphere and burns up even before they reach the planet surface. Owkay fine, so it's not really a star huh...but hey can you imagine a star falling in our planet? isn't too big to fall? gawd.

Well, whether it’s real or just a superstition isn’t it exciting to experience seeing a "falling star" every once in a while and it's even more exciting to make your wishes before it falls on the ground.
