Better

In this post: Booking Through Thursday and Thursday Thirteen


Ever read a book you thought you could have written better yourself?


I could hardly write my own prayer. If I do not like a book and have difficulty finishing it the book may not be for me. I would leave the writing or rewriting to someone whom the story belongs.

With books at work (academic) - maybe edit, adjust examples, or illustrate a concept to fit needs of certain learners.  But then writing it better? I might as well write another book entirely. 


Thursday 13: March Celebrations



March 21st is full, isn't it? I didn't know most of these celebrations but I'm glad to find a couple relevant to me, like #4 and 8. Which ones interest you?

    I'm not a writer, but there are times when I'd like to be an editor.

    [...] Heaps of celebrations fill March 21st – International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, National Common Courtesy Day…. Out of thirteen there are two that particularly attracted me: National Single Parents Day and Children’s Poetry Day. [...]

    I wonder how they celebrate "Fragrance Day"...

    But I would choose no. 6 National Flower Day - I am a frustrated gardener and I would love to see flowers in full bloom during this festivity

    Like you I'd probably put down a book I don't like after two pages ^_^ I would want to be a proofreader somehow but my own writing needs to be edited and proofread.lol. I find number 1 interesting though that's doable it's not gonna be in this system of things.

    I used to read a lot. It's sad that I don't have much time to that now. Number one interests me.

Unknown reasons

What spirit is so empty and blind that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed? - Michelangelo  Why is the Mom in this family picture smiling? Oh, I know. The Dad is wearing shoes. Old Photo Album But my mother was also smiling in our family photo. All three of us look about the same age as this family. Mama said she explicitly told Papa that day long ago that we would sit for a family portrait so we were to don something formal. But lo and behold Papa came in flip flops! Mama wasn't very happy about it. She still placed our picture neatly in the family album though. Family is family, slippers or stilettos. What is unknown to me, besides the identity of this family, is how Father (rest in peace, Pap) ended up in the photo studio wearing slippers when he wore shoes virtually all the time. In fact we only saw him wearing slippers during his retirement. Ah well, so much for shoes. I have ...

THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!

Tacloban . It's where I spent two months of great adventure with college buddies at about the same age as the young adult artists in this video  We Are The World for Philippines ( Cover by Filipino Artsts ) This is the church where I served as piano accompanist for the 1990 summer student choir, and some of the services. According to reports it was filled with dead bodies when this shot was taken. Photo Courtesy: AUP Network on FB On Saturday, November 24th, Central World management (the former WTC Bangkok) lent space for a Haiyan fundraiser without charge. I'd like to commemorate the highlights:   One Voice: Help Haiyan Victims was a serendipity. Organizing events is something I had to pay money to study in grad school. But it was live learning right there that night and observing the process was free. Skywatch : Mission Tacloban The Bangkok Charity Orchestra   reflected tranquility in their music. Poor typhoon victims would...
