Albine's Corner

A little grudge, eh ? Yeah, grudge or a little grudge. You heard it! This is not good, i guess. That's why I wanna call it a little grudge. But I think it's all the same... a grudge is a grudge, isn't it? Wednesday morning, on my way to work I came face to face with someone I really don't wanna see anymore. ( Uh oh, wake up, Albine. The world is so small and there's a huge possibility to bump into anyone living in this planet. ) I share the same ride on a public vehicle with this woman -- let's call her Sali -- who left a great impact to my life. Actually she is not the only person I almost swear I really do not want to see anymore for my entire life. They are a family. The story behind it is such a big family issue but I'd rather not say those details here. This post I'm doing today, really is difficult. I wonder if I could write something out of honesty or without protecting a nice image of myself here in the blog arena. I see that sometimes honest...

Music... what have you!? Thought the beat of you would make me so high... The silence in my room indeed broken; Zest to work hard, yes I got from you... But to what extent? And until when? Oh no, as if I'm back to same old story! This damn feeling of loneliness never leave me here. Why do I feel so empty? Ahhh, maybe I just have nothing. Nothing in this world but be heard... Nothing that I need is to express; Think I have lots of it in store, But where's the other end? Hey, music! Lucky you because I hear you. I listen to you, I can be with you all night! Thanks, you gave me company... But sorry to say that I hate you! ...Induced me to longing; Longing and longing.

A Reaction to the Study Conducted by the PEW/Internet and American Life Project Entitled “The Internet and Daily Life” I just got a laptop recently. After years of wishing and dreaming, now I have one. First, I want a laptop because it will serve as my assistant to my work and my studies. With all the paper works and necessary recordings I have to make, there must be a device like the personal computer with me – 24 hours a day. Then I had this laptop. Is it an Internet or Wi-Fi ready? Yes, and then I realized that my satisfaction of owning this gadget doesn’t stop there. Next I found out I need the access to the Internet. At work, I could pick a UTP cable in one corner of the computer laboratory to be able to go online. That way, I thought I could be able to get enough of my needs with respect to those tasks this laptop can serve. It was still my dissatisfaction. Computer laboratories at the school where I teach at are of course for students’ use and I, as a teacher cannot use those r...

Being experimental today... Touched one charming charming device. Unfamiliar. It's been here several days ago. Just purchased very intriguing coffee-maker device. Seems I can get along with it. Let's see... Cup of water. Teaspoonful of ground coffee. Plug it. Push the button. Wait... Hmmm, smells good! Taste it? Wow, fine! ...Bitter. That's fine. Dash of sugar... brown sugar, muscovado sugar. Enough to experience bitterness. Sip... Another sip... Aha! Got an idea... Chocolate. Special dark chocolate! Just a few chips. Dropped into it. Stir. How is it? Hmmm! Guess what, i like it! Terrific. Bitter-sweet good. Forget about troubles. Relax. Hear that saxo music playing. See that cup of coffee you're holding. Are you complete? Uh, oh... wish you were here.
