All photos are by me unless stated otherwise. :)

I got myself new glasses! (I am horribly nearsighted.) I love these new red frames. They’re very lightweight and fit comfortably. They were very cheap, too. I had chanced upon them at a 100-yen store.

It was a possibility we had held in our minds for ages. We could barely get ourselves to believe that it was actually going to happen. And then one glorious day, our hopes were answered by a giant poster on the side of Fully Booked, confirming that our artistic hero would be coming to Manila for book signings, as well as a talk about his creative process. It was almost too good to be true, but it totally happened. That's why I said almost.

Sorry, I don't mean to come off as gloomy and cryptic. I'm really not. I'd just like to keep this under the much, much happier journal entry that I'll be posting right after this. :) ]]> http://behindinfinity.deviantart.com/journal/What-a-wonderful-world-231400263 http://behindinfinity.deviantart.com/journal/What-a-wonderful-world-231400263 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 10:36:36 PDT What a wonderful world. nonadult journals/personal behindinfinity http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/e/behindinfinity.gif Copyright 2009-2013 *behindinfinity @skybluedays
I've been reading through the site and now I'm a tearful mess. My friends and I have strengthened our resolve to do more, to give more, and to always keep hoping.

Just wanted to make a quick post to share this. There must be a lot of people out there who ought to be reminded that the world is a nicer place than most of us might think.

[hugs everyone] ]]>
