Personal Geographic: July 2010

Travels in a borderless world. Monday, July 12, 2010. I "un-friended" someone today. That's such an unwieldy - yet very precise (in this age of social networking) term. Posted by The Gravelcat. Monday, July 5, 2010. Chito and John mentioned checking the space between the tines, and the space between the nib and the feed. We discussed flossing the tines and soaking in an ammonia solution, what we normally do with our other pens. The discussion got really geeky, which I enjoyed a lot. I decided...My papers...

Personal Geographic: November 2011
http://personalgeographic.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Travels in a borderless world. Sunday, November 6, 2011. Little Girls, Team Sports. I had a place in the team, a role and a goal, and I tried as much as possible to achieve it. The sense of belonging and pride in the team was exhilarating. For once I was the doer, not the watcher. Many people prefer to just watch, and never give themselves a chance to do. When Lilo started out with the International Little League Association of Manila. Posted by The Gravelcat. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Favor, Can I Req...

Travels in a borderless world. Friday, September 10, 2010. Guinea Pig Lap Time. It's Eid al'Fitr, a national holiday, and today I celebrate the first time our pet guinea pig Moonball got Lap Time! This afternoon after returning from errands Joy surprised me by putting Moonball on MY lap. She ate two or three little pieces of carrot peel and snuggled on her face towel. I loved stroking her! We used to have dogs, and I miss having them, but having a little guinea pig to pet is almost quite as good. The mov...

Travels in a borderless world. Saturday, December 10, 2011. The Wahl Eversharp Doric. Sometimes I look for particular fountain pens to add to my collection. Sometimes pens find me. This is one of those pens - I am honored to be its current guardian. Wahl Eversharp was one of the top 4 fountain pen manufacturers of its time.

Travels in a borderless world. Saturday, May 22, 2010. FPN-P Meet at Conti's. We thought it would be a mini-pen meet with less than ten members, but the event was so well-attended it became a full-size one. Not in pictures: Caloy (late), Mona (took pix). One of the original reasons we decided to organize a mini pen-meet was that John needed help resaccing his Sheaffer 875 Balance. Fortunately I had a spare size 18 sac, shellac and some pure talc from Woodbin. We raffled off only 4 items this time because...

Personal Geographic: April 2010
http://personalgeographic.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Travels in a borderless world. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. The first quarter of this year had some interesting events in it. And a lot of self-imposed drudgery. And somehow my online presence dwindled. Not really, because the same friends are on Facebook, and commenting is conversation too. Do I need more caffeine in an IV drip? Or would a halo-halo or mais con hielo do? There are days I feel like a zombie headless chicken being marinated. Oh well, at least I can look forward to being tasty. Paper Review: T...

Personal Geographic: A Many-Splendored Thing
http://personalgeographic.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-many-splendored-thing.html
Travels in a borderless world. Thursday, February 14, 2013. My dad learned she was secretary of the youth organization at the UP Protestant Chapel, the Church of the Risen Lord. Naturally he joined, too. She had two other suitors, one of which became a top volcanologist, and the other, a prominent judge. But she only had eyes for my dad. Twenty-five years later they renewed their vows in church. They've been together 46 years now, best friends and lovers and parents. They are in their seventies&#...But I...

Travels in a borderless world. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Some Feel Rain, by Joanna Klink. Some feel rain. Some feel the beetle startle. In its ghost-part when the bark. Slips Some feel musk. Asleep against. Each other in the whiskey dark, scarcely there. When it falls apart, some feel the moondark air. Drop its motes to the patch-thick slopes of. Snow Tiny blinkings of ice from the oak,. A boot-beat that comes and goes, the line of prayer. You can follow from the dusking wind to the snowy owl. The moving...
