rings, rings,rings
i have been scouting for rings lately. rings because i want some nice bling on my finger. the ones i used to have either got lost thanks to my carelessness or have found their way to sungate pawnshop.
i covet the diamond ( or something like it ) studded ring korina sanchez once wore on her show.must be around 1/4 inch wide like a person standing 50 meters away won’t notice but he will notice the ring.beautiful but haven’t really found it or something like it yet.
the other ring i have been looking for is the kind lisa kudrow had on friends. antique.big. nice on the forefinger.gives one a witchy feeling. this too is elusive.
recently a very good friend introduced me to a singleringen or a ring for singles.it’s the newest craze. one can wear it to tell the whole world you’re single and you’re damn proud of it ( kinda like hey-i’m-single-and-i-want-it-that-way ) or tell the world that you’re available ( the ring doing the talking ). it’s a nice and pretty stylish silver ring encrusted with an azure acrylic.best of all it’s got code/serial number registrable online. the purpose of the latter’s nothing more than giving you a friendster-ish feeling because it allows you to track the growing singleringen network. pity, it’s become so popular there are no more sizes for women.
pretty obviously i have no luck with rings. the only very available, very cheap, very accessible ring is the oishi onion ring snack i don’t even like…i will never….

i went to the library today with just one object in mind: to find theodore cohn’s book on globalization, a required reading in my IPE class. i have just this day to read the book and i definitely need no distraction…alas! i got sidetracked again. i found a book entitled " Treasury of Laughters" which is a compilation on humorous poem, tall tales, plays etc. i decided to post Hilaire Belloc’s "Four Epigrams". I looove the second one.here goes the four.
On His Books
When I am dead, it maybe said: " His sins were scarlet- but his books were read."
On the Politician
Here, richly, with ridiculous display, the politician’s corpse was laid away- while all of his acquaintances sneered and slanged, I wept: for I had longed to see him hanged.
On Lady Poltagrue, a Public Peril
The devil, having nothing else to do, went off to tempt my lady Poltagrue. My lady, tempted by a private whim, to his extreme annoyance, tempted him.
Fatigued
I’m tired of love; I’m still more tired of rhyme: But money gives me pleasure all the time
neat huh! caution: i did not follow the original "spacing" of the text. not because i wanna save space but i just don’t know how.

i had a forced morning walk today. Unplanned alright but it turned out to be one of my most smile-ful walks. the night before i decided to be a stokwa and went to cavite. early morning today my friend brought me back to manila, told me to study and dropped me off at the national library. thanks to her i now got the NL ID. i didn’t know which jeep to take to get me home or school thus the forced walk.
i took the del pilar st ( i think )- roxas blvd route til i got to Luneta. I’ve walked the face of Luneta for countless of times but this was first one done in the morning. It turned out, the place was lovelier- it’s a lot cleaner than in the afternoons and evenings. plastic cups, muncher packs and such were out of sight. also, there were guards around, patrolling as in!!! i wonder why they don’t do that in the eve?they should. i mean darkness is any possible felon’s ally.
of course, everyone adores the doves/pigeons congregating in some plaza in italy ( think the movie milan )…i had a bit of "chasing the birds " exerience.not really chasing i mean i stood there and birds were around me. they were so many as in!!! one managed to hurt my ego by feigning fear at my presence and tried to fly but decided to stop after establishing a two feet distance from me. nonetheless, they were all so lovely.
yeah, i can’t believe tourists flock the area so early.there were two groups posing here and there for souvenir photos. some were attentively listening to the tour guide who was telling stories or some trivia about the statues therein ( i was praying silently she didn’t just make up a story for them to be enthused ). anyway i hope they keep coming. i mean all the beautiffication effort manila is doing, it just got to have its return of inestment quick so they can move on to renovating other min parks around.
as i was nearing the taft ave stretch( cross the street and viola i’d be home ), i can’t help but sigh in amazement ( for the nth time ) at lapu-lapu’s gigantic statue. boy that thing must be the most gorgeous of all atatues in the world. it’s half naked ( as opposed to many whose things are for everyon to see ) but it’s got perfectly toned muscles. and were talking of an age and time when there were no fitness firsts yet.
i didn’t end up home eventually. thanks to my craving for a good cup of coffee. now i’m in school writing this! silly!
