warning labels

maybe it might be a bit more helpful for some of us to have warning labels attached to us.

but in this case, it's a bit too late. sometimes i still wonder, it had all the qualities of a nightmare or more accurately, the sweet rosy haze of a dream slowly transforming into a vividly distorted vision...and where reality parted ways with illusion, i was left wondering, mouth wide open, jaw slack and eyes glazed over.
the lingering question was : is this real? am i really going through it?
and the truth is, it was real. i did go through it. and it felt surreal, to say the least. i got harn to pinch me a number of times. but oh yes, the fateful wednesday, now that was real, all right, what with the thunder, lightning, the dark skies, the slow drain of my brain cells to the mind-numbing super long wills question and the waste of 20 minutes on a question on fiduciary relationships...and something far more primeval...

in any event,
thank God for great mercies. i pulled through, and life is looking up at the moment. woohoo! my sis is getting married on saturday, and i m the commentator and MC for the church wedding and the dinner at night. talk about multi-purpose tasking. :)

but just the next time around, i will look a little harder, and try to look for some sign of warning labels. because .... i have enough trouble as it is. and i don't, i really don't need to add on to it.

lalala....SJC ROCKS!
it's become a handy short form, and it encapsulates all manner of difficult and complex reasoning regarding such circumstances...the next time i wonder, come to think of it, every time my thoughts swing round there, i remember the three magic letters, and it all makes sense in a senseless sort of way.
