Dang...

It’s been a while since I posted something here. Well, I know I’ve been posting some..."meaningful" stuff in the past...and well I just kinda lost inspiration somehow. Anyway…well, here I am...and for the first time, I’m going to write about what happened to me today. I woke up at..9 in the morning, i just wanted to stay in bed and sleep. i bet all of you felt this before :D and well, in the process, skipped chem lab. I don’t...but apparently, after coming home from eastwood, my parents found out. i gave them the excuse na "free cut" but...alas now, they don’t believe me. could there be a mole, a snitch in my chem class? I don’t know.

Well, off the topic, i got a new book today. its pretty cool. "Collected Poems 1909-1962" by T.S. Eliot. Well, I wanted this book for a long long time na...but I finally got a reason to buy it... its for this damn paper we have in lit.

Here’s a poem from the book...


"Eyes That Last I Saw in Tears"
By T.S. Eliot

Eyes that i last saw in tears
Through division
Here in death's dream kingdom
The golden vision reappears
I see the eyes but not the tears
This is my affliction

This is my affliction
Eyes I shall not see again
Eyes of decision
Eyes I shall not see unless
At the door of death's other kingdom
Where, as in this,
The eyes outlast a little whistle
A little while, outlast the tears
And hold us in derision.

There are some things that we will not see for a long long time. A's in the report card, happy smiles from kids...even a loved one that had gone into a better place. These people we will not be able to see...anymore. However, even through death, we will still have our memories that will help us remember them in all of this. And hopefully, those memories, better good than ill, help us pass through this maze called life day after day. Even though they do die, they still live in our memories, when we relive the happy/sad moments we had with them.
It doesn’t matter if we do something memorable when we live, like build a hospital etc. but, what matters most are the memories that we leave with our friends, family, acquaintances when we leave this place called earth.
