spectacular SPECTACLES!

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Abcd0018Hi! Remember how it feels to see the smallest word in the newspaper dailies with ease? Can you still recognize each letter under the classified ads section? And remember the time in Carcar area where the famous dancing sun used to be a phenomenon? Oh well, they were too obvious and clear and simply- visible! 

Perhaps by now you are wondering what i’m talking about. I’m simply tracking down my 20-20 eyesight of yesterday. You see, my vision is on the verge of acquiring astigmatism if not blindness!Oh God forbid! Consider it simply-Blurriness.

So, i tried to look for remedies. And guess what? Yeah yeah, i know you know (silly me). Of course, the ever so powerful…. Charaaaan!: lens! (ok, take a bow). Ah yes, these tools for low visibility eyesight surely changed my point-of-view, literally! And I mean: to the last sense of the phrase! Oh YEAH! So here they are, all lined up for MY convenience.

Abcd0001One here has a clear, very clear and ever so clear, glass with a semi-clear casing. It gives me so much comfort while wearing it. Almost its entire body is clear, except for the immaculate white frame with a touch of clear poly- carbonate plastic (is it the right name?) whatever. It is my fave. In fact, i‘m saving it for my travel needs. It gets me to see more vividly places I never wondered I could ever set foot on in reality; ka drama bah!. The rest has its own story, which I’m not at liberty to say here, sorry.

But mind you, these eyewears are my partners… whether in public or privately. But h ey! Who says … ahh, never mind. My point is: I’m deeply attached to them day in and day out. They surely give me pleasure every time I read… and write… and blog… and text… and research… and ride… and… what-have-you!

They are not just shades, each has its set of lens, which caters to my own level of clearness capability. They are prescription eye shades! Cool huh? Wanna try them on?  Just take your pick ;-)

Hey, didn’t you wonder how i managed to write this when they are all displayed here?  I’m wearing one more set: my everyday  reading glasses and add it up here, that should complete my collection.

Bet_threedecades3 Time eases pain, it even erases memories. It allows us to forget bad events. It also allows us to remember good ones. Time is powerful in a way. It is forceful in some ways too.

It is truly amazing, how it heals wounds and open up secrets long buried under the realm of imagination. Time is great! It is a gift, a phenomenon, a way of being. Something which can be sensed, longed for, awaited to, let go of, etc. The list is endless. 

How fast time flies too! It has been thirty years now since my early college years, and I can still feel the smiles we had when we had our Founder’s Day. A pageant was held then and I was one of the contestants. Oh boy, it was fun! I garnered three awards, one for Miss Friendship another for First runner- up and one special award for Best in Uniform . Ah! those were great moments!

After three decades, I’m still the same person, but better. I’m still the same girl but more mature. I still carry the same sentiments but stronger. I still cry over sad movies and smiles over cartoons. I am what I was then but nimbler, smarter and more provocative.

Ah yes, because, I am a Filipina! (shhhh, gikan pa ni sa kaban, he he he)

A friend and a chum

Bet_eyeglass_bluetoothThings, ideas, games, places, people come into  our lives every so often. Some just fly by as fast as they came; while others stay and remain within reach.

Like the toys we had when we were little children. They were meant to be in the past, though kept in the closet. Like the baby dolls and the petite racer cars still intact inside their own cute little boxes.

Like my friends in my early college days. They too are in the past… my past; but they aren’t forgotten, in fact, i cherish them as dearly as my new acquaintances. They came but they aren’t trully gone, they are just around the bend. And we still are as close as the first time we knew each other.

Old chums came and left. New pals, old friends, same thing, they get lost and fade away. But what’s the real score? They are just beyond our dreams. Or, we are inside theirs. Whichever it may be, we are all connected in some ways. Still… a friend and a chum.

Like these two dependable items here. My eyeglasses has been with me since i can’t remember when, and this bluetooth device is quite new. I dont use much the device as of now so its kept in my drawer. But the eyeglass, ah yes, it’s with me throughout the day. They are both special although one isn’t as important as the other.

My chum… my friend.
