A light when all other lights go out!

To see the world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wildflower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour. - Cory, este, William Blake Lala's quotable quote regarding the poem: Everything becomes interesting to a person who knows how to see :) *** Whoo!!!! And this while we were talking about something as dry as a job ha. Love it! Hehe! Labs u, Lalie! Will tell you interesting things about it soon! ^_^ Pati si Kuya Nikki. Kc nagpapakwento kayo...^_^ P.S. There were no wildflowers there kc in the workplace, so I looked and did not see heaven...Hehe. William Blake will shoot me for being irreverent. Geez. He did not live in the 21st century kc, so it's not known if he also sees infinity in a skyscraper. Haha! :p

I was talking to one of my students one time and he was telling me about the weather they were having there in Korea. I don't usually talk about the weather save for some comment or two (and then that's it), but I've often heard that it's quite a common conversational topic in social circles other than mine. Anyway, so it was raining in Korea that day, so I asked my student if he had an umbrella with him. He answered in the affirmative. Cory: (making conversation) So what color is it? Korean student, male, early thirties probably: It's rainbow-colored. (His tone was wry.) Cory: (:D) Oh. It's your wife's. KS: Yeah... (I think he was blushing a little but I'm not sure. It was over the phone. He might have blushed a little. Hehe.) Cory: You should have a jacket or a raincoat too. KS: I don't have a jacket but I'm wearing rain boots... I decided not to ask what color rain boots he was wearing. I'm bringing this up because I have a new umbrella. ...

My eyes. Reader, my eyes. My eyes have something called error in refraction. The medical results said so, and I've been bummed out since then. I brought it up out of the blue with Lala. One moment we were looking at a book, the next I was babbling about errors in refraction without so much as a segue. Cory: My eyes are erroneous. Lala: ..... Cory: My eyes are erroneous. They have something called error in refraction. Lala: Error in fractions? Cory: Yeah, hehe. Refraction. Medical came, told me my eyes are erroneous in the perception of light. I need to clear it with an ophthalmologist. (Sigh). I should just tell the ophthalmologist that my eyes are really so much better at trigo. I guess that explains why I've been having troubles with my peepers. Without my glasses, I feel like they are zoning out, and sometimes, they feel wo-wo-wobbly in my sockets, like wo-wo-wobbly table legs. And they cry, reader. They cry. For no reason at all. Like a girl with a boyfriend, they cry. (I...

I wonder what I'm going to do with you today. Or tonight, actually. What shall I tell you? I've actually not much to say. Nothing much going on with my life. My life is only so everyday. How about if I tell you the boring details of my day? You know, Anne Frank lived only in some obscure basement for most of her young and short life but she managed to write out a best-seller diary anyway. She was very personal with it, sort of like how I am with this blog. She even has a name for her diary. We say, or rather, we write, "Dear Diary," but she begins hers with "Dear Kitty". That's right. Her diary's name is Kitty. And taking after her, I've decided to name this blog "Angel". :) Just so you know. Clyde introduced me to this new website today. I'm sorry, that's incorrect. It's not actually new, just newly found-out. It's almudi.org. It's actually a site that evaluates the moral quality of books and films (ahehe), and we h...

Joke for the day: cory: lala, hello dear! lala: cor, hello there!(you look at them when you say hello there) Haha! I swear I heard Kris' voice! :D

Tonight saw me spinning around and dancing in the sala like only a lunatic does. Or like only a girl on earphone does. If I just breathe Let it fill the space between I'll know everything is alright Breathe Every little piece of me You'll see everything is alright. I just want to mark a change, that's all, with this post. A change like throwing past old habits out, and putting in good new ones. So this is like marking Kilometer Zero. But I don't want to over-describe. There's nothing special or particularly commemorative with regard to the song. It just suits my mood is all. Or maybe there is a little something with the lyrics. No matter. Carpe diem! P.S. Why does it look like km-oh and not like km-zero? I could have sworn I hit the zero key. But no matter. Hehe.

I thought that I should begin documenting my "firsts," something I haven't done before but maybe something I ought to begin doing now. Today was the first time I undertook to get myself an NBI clearance. This is a landmark event in my life because it means that I am no longer a student nor a child but someone who is about to become a young professional. Yep, it took me that long but I am finally getting around to grasping the concept of work and becoming a grown-up. Yay! Now I usually hate research about practical matters and I have this habit of asking others what something is or how something works, instead of just fishing the information myself (awful habit, I know), but for the sake of those who are like me, and would have rather wished to avoid the effort of finding and knowing about things yourself, here's what I can say about the NBI clearance. 1. Apparently, contrary to what the NBI official website declares, you DON'T need two valid ID's. Having just ...
