how BLIND people can see...(n_n)


I'd been walking my way home last Friday when i came to saw a line of people connected to each bother by clinging to the right shoulder of the person in from of them..
at a distant, it looked strange since they were all senior citizens i think...
as i came closer... i realized five of them are blind... the guy in the front was the one leading them as they walk and crossed the road... four old men and two old women...
isn't it just inspiring?
despite of their condition, they seemed to be happy and unbelievable comfortable of themselves...as if everything was the way it was before...
it really just tells us that the capability to see it only a dimension of our colossal cosmos.
for us, who live our life by how see it (up to some point), we would be in total mess if our visions expires within a blink of an eye...
it seems that you've been sleeping forever though you're really awake...
the curtains are down...
the lights are off...
you're imprisoned in the darkest dungeon you can imagine...
under the deep shadows of fear and frustration to escape...

if i were in their shoes,,,knock on wood... i don't think i can survive...
or it would be extremely difficult for me to adjust in any way...

but i really admire these people...
they, who despite the absence of sight, continue as if nothing has happened...
as if nothing was lost...
still enjoying every single day of waking up in the morning and living a life of contentment and simple aspirations...
i guess it's what you call
...FAITH...

i really salute these guys...
all of them who experience the same situation out there...
i really found the courage in you...

may God bless you always in every step you make...
in every day you are experiencing His grace...

keep things to where they should be

I had a 1-page reflection paper due early this morning from a more than 80-page reading material. I'm sure i had it photo copies around 3 weeks ago but i can't seem to locate it the other day when i deseperately needed it. I was reminded of it because as i was reading Twilight again, i passed by the scene where Bella was supposed to write a reflection paper on Macbeth...oh...it was Sunday and the library wasn't open. I was so busted!

Luckily, i was able to borrow a copy from a friend and had i xeroxed at a distance for a one-jeep ride (so exhausting...).

I began reading the material which almost occupied me the whole day. I actually skipped some of the pages just to be able to finish it.

By past midnight, my eyes and my brain are already arguing. My eyes demanded its sleep but my brain kept on pushing me to finish my paper.

Good thing i hadn't gave up too soon. I finished my reflection paper by 1:14 am...and then i was able to sleep worry-free...
