What’s Prettier Than Freckles?
An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.
“You’ve got so many freckles, there’s no place to paint!” a girl in the line said to the little fellow.
Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him. “I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles,” she said, while tracing her finger across the child’s cheek. “Freckles are beautiful.”
The boy looked up, “Really?”
“Of course,” said the grandmother. “Why just name me one thing that’s prettier than freckles.”
The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma’s face, and softly whispered, “Wrinkles.”
Last week I went home for just 2 hours and went back here also in 2 hours. heheh… what im talking about is I went to embassy to renew my pass. The embassy office is the same pinoy style including the staircase, the furnitures and the employees. But I didnt really feel at home there. heheh… utusan ba naman akong i on ang ilaw huwaaat! di ko nga ginawa. Oo maliit lang na bagay pero saan ka mang office pumunta utusan ba nila ang bisita nila. Di ba walang galang naman na yun. Anyway, we traveled early in the morning because I was instructed that there were a lot of people and the embassy closes at 1pm. I was also instucted to make my photo shot there. And request the new pass to be delivered by mail and buy envelop and stamps. With this complicated instruction Ive learned from a fellow who just recently renewed her pass. It sounds very unorganized to me, so I consulted the embassy website and there Ive learned the procedures. I printed and filled out the form. I recoppied my old pass. I did a photo shot here in the photo studio and told the photographer the exact measurement, with white background and a full face shot. When we arrived there, there were no people and the transaction was smoothly done injust 5 minutes. And requested to pick it up after 2 days compared to the mail one for a week delivery. And so my great thanks to internet of course heheh…
When all the people are enjoying the heat of sun by deeping themselves in the lake, or in the resort. I spend the whole day at home cleaning because next week will be having visitors. I changed the curtains and table cloths. I washed the window glasses. I removed cobwebs from the ceilings. I dusted the lamps and the bulbs. I brought out some coffeewares. I am going to host a coffeetime for H birthday. wheww… I am thankful that it was not a dinner lol!
