phaNtasmagoria: Nuances of Life

an excellent stdnt had requested a slot fr class to present on sumthin dat she gained thru her visit to south africa previously. it was an official/educational visit & i really think it was a chance of a lifetime for her/for any1 in dat matter. luckily there was a suitable timeslot as we only had a quiz on this particular day. & the class was generous enuf to let it end til past lunchtime. each of them received a keychain in d end,wic i think was very generous of the stdnt herself.

Hi…hm..abt now I musta received abt 90 pieces of ss’ one-day journal. Ive started 2 read sum of em. Sum had relevants wit my own life n sum touched my heart. So I tried giving response as best I kud. A ss came yest’day eve asking more on how 2do it?! I was surprised. Of all person I thot he’d have no prob in executing it. Said he was confused btwn journal n diary. Well, he submitted his dis morning. Cant wait 2 read em all! Haha!
Am I 4 real? He asked me d same thing yest’day. Do I really enjoy marking em all? Well, I enjoy reading em. J

Surprisingly it was d 3rd time we talked on d same topic -Effeminate ss- yea…makes me wonder why n how come? Well, he did mention on his friends condemning him of even talking wit d grp of ss. He was juz talking 2 em. Said he admires the confidence n self esteem dat dis grp of ss have. I agree. I let him read d feature article dat I wrote on the particular issue when I was doing my degree. We discussed more on it. My enthusiasm started to wane in d end when he mentioned dat he needed my favour- help send his watch for a fix -the thingy to attach d wristbands is broken. I said I’l try if I ever go out at least 2 msjd tnh.

Classes 2day went great. I really love d ‘Life Experiences’ activity. I get 2 learn more on my ss n get 2 share my xprience wit em also. They laughed n probed more questions. I was being really frank wit em. Even things dat I shud/shudnt hav done. I hope they wud make better decisions than me in d future. It was wreally gwreat!

but it still makes me laugh whenever i think of it tho'.. in a good way of course...how innocent humans can be..?


How To Save A Life - The Fray

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
