oh gravity!

Pronunciation: \ˈgra-və-tē\ Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural grav·i·ties Usage: often attributive Etymology: Middle French or Latin; Middle French gravité, from Latin gravitat-, gravitas, from gravis To simplify things, gravity, besides Newton's and Einstein's definition, is simply a force that attracts all objects to all other objects. In one word, I say it's the verb "pull." Science and grammar have ways of defining things, but what I'm trying to know here is explain this repetitive incident way back during my younger years when every time (or let's say, most of the time) strangely inexplicable things have always been blamed on "gravity." "Why is the sky blue?" Because of the gravity of the earth. "Why is the teacher giving us hard quizzes?" Because of the gravity of the earth. "Why do you have pimples?" Because of the gravity of the earth. "Why are you in love???" Errr, because of the gravity of the earth? Therefore, gravity, other than being simply "pull" has a do with (almost) all things. It's the reason of all reasons. Or better yet, the reason when there's no reason. Which brings me back to the this little nook. I know why the sky is blue, gray and orange. I know why the teacher wanted to punish us with a hundred item quiz. I don't have pimples. I am not in love (maybe). But why am I writing this? I guess I have to do away with the great reason or excuse, "because of the gravity of the earth!"

It's a mad, mad world

The Mad Hatter: Have I gone mad? Alice Kingsley: I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.

* that is, perhaps, one of the oldest books in my shelf. which i haven't finished. which i should finish. that is, when i'm no longer mad. ;p

the best thing about leaving

is the reading which I have forgotten in weeks or poetry writing in your house at the garage where the cats sleep or at the red sofa that sinks or perhaps, at the garden ah, yes! the garden where we hear the words your house speaks * this is my take on Larry's "Leaving Reading" post. i don't know how to write poetry as great as he does, but maybe, just maybe, i'll learn from reading the books he's leaving. * well, he has to go there to comeback. thank you, Larry! bon voyage! :)

Just shoot me: one of the most challenging jobs at the ER is shooting a vein - perfectly. and it takes 10,000 hours of practice to achieve it. * my first butterfly vein cath, the one i used at my tita * my glass syringe, way back college years in nursing * polachrome

Do you hear me, I'm talking to you Across the water across the deep blue ocean Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams I feel your whisper across the sea I keep you with me in my heart You make it easier when life gets hard

* this isn't a love post, though this appears to be one. or whatever. left feet are Marlon's, right ones are mine. we share something about love --- for maki, sushi, anime, milk tea... you know. as well as the thought of seeing each other in London with our significant others. hey, i just can't find a song with an ocean-ish or sea-ish lyrics. :))

stop and stare

one of a kind phenomenon on a summer day here in Cebu (only) was seeing a "sun dog" , "parhelia" or "parhelion" up in the sky. i say it's one of a kind because this usually appears on a rainy day.

the white line you see in the picture that somewhat sliced the sun was made by a passing jet plane. what great timing!

how about you? did you stop and stare, too?

bubble trouble

it wasn't just me and my little sister who had trouble with the bubbles (and the wind), but also Grover. here, let me share his short poem about bubbles:

little bubble round and fair, floating slowly through the air. the wind blows you hither yond, then you pop! you are all gone! you last for a teeny while, but all you do, you make me smile.
