S.A.D.
That's Seasonal Affective Disorder.
It's cold like nobody's business right now. Honestly, how do Northeners do it? How do they survive the cold, dreary autumn and winter? I mean, I have no problem with the cold (ok, maybe a little), but the lack of sunlight--when 3pm feels like 6pm, or any time of the day for that matter feels like dusk--that I can't take. While the leaves are falling and trees look like dark skeletons, the human mind and body must slowly be wilting like the trees. Hey, we're all living things that need nourishment from the sun, so what happens when there is no sun for 4-5 months in a row? I can't comprehend it. It's a wonder the Swedes, Danes, and Norwegians aren't depressed. It's no wonder that the Russians seem so frosty-- who wouldn't with their kind of harsh climate!
My tropics mind and body are absolutely thirsty for sun exposure. I'm not talking about cancer level sun bathing; just your normal everyday sunlight .
I took pictures of Lincoln Park at 4:30pm, but I am not typing from my laptop, so I can't upload the photos yet. For those back in the Philippines or just anyone from the Southern Hemisphere, just be glad for your free dose of happy pill when the sun's rays fall on you and don't hide from it like some scared Japanese geisha. I'd do anything for some sunlight right now.

Hey! You could get one of those sun lamps! Hahaha
Seriously though, that's what my friend who had S.A.D. did. They say it works.
