Wet dreams

A clear pond. Or was it just a flooded area? I'm not really so sure. What seems to linger in my thoughts are the vision of how calm the waters are and the lilies that floated around. I seem to be standing onto something. TP was over at the other side of the water. I saw him stole a quick glance at my direction before going further inside the pagoda. Suddenly, I find myself swimming in the water. A few strokes after, I was reminded of the fact that I do not know how to swim. I got scared and a split second before I finally realize I might drown, I somehow touched something hard below that stopped my sinking.

And then I woke up. Before I could I realize that it's just another one of those lucid dreams that often haunt me, I hit the pillows and dozed off again.

Changes

Left with nothing to do as I could not access the site from where we get the abstracts we process, I reflect on some of the not so recent events in my life. It was three months ago when I was asked to transfer to the ERIC project. It pains me everytime I'm reminded how I've lost a big chunk of my incentives as I could no longer earn any extra from ERIC. To ease my pain, I have to remind myself (always) that things are not so bad as they are as we were provided with Internet access, a privilege that we didn't enjoy while working in the previous project. Well, I have to admit that indeed the drastic change in my career has its positive outcomes. For one, I was able to start blogging, a feat that I could not have accomplished before due to certain circumstances. I don't have a pc at home and its impractical to go to a cafe everytime just to blog. As a newbie in the blogging world, I am still groping around. This is a whole new experience for me and it is truly addicting. I am not so confident about my usage of words but what the heck, I am enjoying it tremendously. So this is how writers feel when they create their bestsellers.

Bargain books

The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
Disclosure by Michael Crichton
The First Wives Club by Olivia Goldsmith

These 3 books made my day so damned right that I have practically forgotten how dog-tired I was this morning. I just got them for 50 pesos each! I've been dying to get a copy of Amy Tan's first novel ever since I got to read her Kitchen God's Wife. What had been holding me from buying Amy's book is just as usual, the eternal moolah matters. I've seen Disclosure the movie back in college but I really didn't understand some parts of it. As for the third book, I remembered that it was made into a movie back in 1990s. Oh well, I just can't wait to read them all. I just don't know when I'll have the free time to do that.
