Nearsighted

-
I started wearing glasses when I was in high school. I found out that I needed one pair when I have been having a hard time reading what was written in the black board. There was no problem when I am reading a book in my hand. In fact I got a microscopic handwriting which my mother always castigated me about because she said it does not speak much about my confidence, where in fact, I got the habit of writing so tiny because there was too much to write during lectures in school and I always run out of notebooks quickly. This developed my skills in reading minuscule text. I guess I still have that skill thus far when I still enjoy reading pdf files on IPods. But I’d be delighted if I got an IPad. O yeah! Definitely I want it. I have been a fan of book reading since I was in grade school. My favourite hangout when I was a lad was National Bookstore and Alemars (Raise your hand if you recall. No one? Well.). I was a member of Book of the Month Club which got me to order books from other parts of the world. I suppose that is one side of me that is geeky. My fond of reading books tapered down a bit when I started raising a family. And subsequently, Ebook entered the picture which rekindles my fondness in reading. Now I got my library downloaded in a brilliant thingy inside my pocket. Whadyaknow! I am sure there is an advantage of being nearsighted aside from reading tiny fonts. I want to borrow the words of Rupert Holmes in his song Nearsighted. “There's more to see than can be seen or said than what is heard……I don’t just a friends or lover by first or second look nor a book just by its cover….” It’s good to see from afar the big picture to see how far you’ve been and how far you should go. The importance of taking a closer look is for today.

Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti

-
This morning, I craved for a Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti. And so I told Claire that I was gonna go to the Asian Store in Cashel to buy that Del Monte Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti sauce. She told me that she wanted to come along so she would see what else she could buy in the store. Then JC has to come along with us. . There is one store that might become popular soon for the pinoys in Lincoln called Filipino Mart. However, since I was in hurry to cook and to satisfy my craving, we settled to visit the nearer store. And so we shopped and shopped in the popular Asian Store in Cashel. Along with the sauce and spaghetti, I prepared grinded meat, Kransky (substitute for the Purefoods hotdog which we do not have here), onions, green pepper, carrots, and garlic. And so I cooked. I was sure I could never go wrong as long as I have the Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce. It was almost like I thought that I could do with more or less ingredients and still I could come up with del

STAGE DIRECTOR

-
I am fascinated when I get to watch shows like X-factor and the Voice where the professionals get to guide the talent. The way the relationship goes well between the talent and the mentor is when the talent gives complete trust with the mentor and just accepts that the mentor has a better view of how the talent can emanate the stuff effectively and well. It’s just like a director who has the best view on what’s going on outside the stage. I remember there was this hip guy who was part of the cast in the stage play. During the rehearsal the director directed him to exaggerate his movement. But the guy being cool but a newbie thought that the movement is awkward and not cool. And so he did not follow the director’s direction when the rest of the cast exaggerated their movements during the performance. During the performance it turned out that the audience viewed that the cool guy was awkward on stage and the rest of the cast were outstanding. What is deemed awkward in real life is normal

UST Class 5 CE

-
What is good about having a Facebook Account is that you get the probability to touch base with your long lost classmates. It all started when a certain guy which I did not recognize in his profile picture by the name of Alex commenting “ If I am not mistaken, you were UST Batch (Bleep) 5 CE. Right?” And then he produced a class picture which included me 60 pounds ago. “O yeah, he is Alex from Class 5 CE. And then a few days after, several of my classmates from 5 CE sprouted and asking to add them in my Facebook Contact List. Amazing! It’s like I feel young again. There is also a feeling that you want to catch up with them and see how they are after all the decades. Ooops! Years. What do you know? Most of us haven’t been in touch after graduation and after the Besavilla Crash Course for CE Board Exam.
