marginalia
Speaking of Time, I just wanted to write about this. I started scribbling on the margins and in between spaces in my Time Magazine. I would put in comments like for example:
“Nam Yong [of LG Electronics]…is a CEO who believes in taking aggressive action and living with it. Once he decides that it makes sense to move down a path, he doesn’t look back.” (Schuman 2010, pp.42-43)
And then I would scribble: (arrow) Don’t you just love it when people get gutsy and go all-out??!!
Another example:
“Nam says, ‘To show some profit [in a recession] is important, but not as important as long-term sustainable profit. This is a time to really come up with long-term competitiveness rather than short-term profits.”(Schuman 2010, p.43)
And I underlined the whole quote and wrote, as though nodding vigorously: True of life as well!!!!!
Hahahaha! ^_^
So one time, I texted Lala: Sweet, don’t buy a Time mag na. I have with me the issue about only children and I’ll hand it to you when next we meet.
That time, however, I found myself in Eastwood and with Allison in the vicinity. So I met up with him and asked him to hand to Lala the mag. After a few days, I rang her up to chat and then I mentioned the magazine. “Have you taken a look at the Time mag yet?”
“No,” she admitted. “Haven’t opened a page still.”
“It’s interactive,” I informed her.
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“You’ll see,” I answered.
We three – Allison, Lala and I – saw each other a few weeks later and we had dinner together.
“Cor!” Lala said. “Writing scribbles on the magazine was a great idea!”
“Really?” I asked. And then out of simple curiosity, “Did you write anything back?”
“FLAMES!” she responded.
I rolled my eyes. We talked of other things for a while. And then I returned to the previous discussion.
“Did you really write anything?” I asked her again.
“Hangman!” she chirped.
Whatever. Hand me that Time Mag already Lala. I have another one to lend you. It has scribblings on it again!! (Hehe.) I want to know what you did with the mag. See you soon!
