I was looking around in my room and I saw five, small, simple objects that I would like to try how would I link it to my life. Bet you didn't know that my room is half-organized, half-messy but I don't think it would really reflect me. Well, yes! Now here's the thing, I will describe the purpose of these things and then, will try to look at it differently on how will I link its purpose to my life. Sounds fun, and sounds I Am PoGay, but let's try...
BOOKMARK
The purpose of the bookmark is to mark the page of the book you have stopped. It is a big assistance to the readers because they don't need to look for the last page they have read. With bookmarks, the life of the reader is very easy. I guess that bookmarks is also a great help for the continuous journey of our lives. It serves as a lesson that we need to look back every time we move forward and forget. By the time you remember that lesson you will be used in mistakes or failures you've experienced, there is only a bookmark being left which will give you a reminiscing past that you will use for what you have had. The pages of the book is the life we had and the bookmark serves as the lesson we need to reminisce.
COTTON BUD
We all know its purpose and we all know where should we use this. Good that I didn't take a photo of a used cotton bud because a lot of people are eating. I love using cotton buds because it cleans my ear and at the same time, it tickles me. I may not have a fixation in it but there is an awakening feeling in using it. I need a bigger cotton bud, not because I am a huge dirt or a huge ear, but because I need something to clean my messy, unorganized life. I need to have a perfect time schedule to finish all my tasks and not by procrastinating (which for me is the biggest dirt ever in my life!). I need to clean my whole attitude because for the past days, I am becoming too sensitive and also thirsty for affection and desire (terribly wrong!). I need to clean up my mind on which path I need to go, teaching or writing. Cotton buds are used for cleaning our ears and so is my life who is in a mess and ruins needs to be cleaned up by I don't know who and I don't know how.
MASS STORAGE DEVICE OR USB
In layman's term, we call it USB. For the computer world, they call it simply disk drive or mass storage device in which it can have up to 1 terrabyte (I don't know its equivalence in any kinds of measurements). This is the smallest object you can use if you want to save from important documents or pictures to music or movies. You can choose any sizes of storage from microbytes to gigabytes to what now known as terrabytes. Our life is also as functional as USB because we can store lots of memories (coincidentally, we use the term "memory" for the size of storage we prefer for mass storage devices) and it's more than 1 terrabyte I guess. We can't have the power to store music but we can relate our lives to music, thus becoming too emotional when we hear the lyrics of the song and somehow relating it to our lives. We can't have the power to store films in our brains but our whole life is actually a film. We cried, we laughed, we poked some jokes, we threw dramatic lines, we heard fires and bombs because of the war, so many that real life had pictured all the days of our lives. We can't have the power to store important documents but we remember how we documented our lives. From the time we were born until the time we' are about to bid farewell, they are all documented. Our lives are rich, treasured and perfect because even though we can't store memories in a digital way, we can remember them until eternity.
CLASS RECORD
I am a teacher and I use this. This is, I believe, the second most important tool, after lesson plans, a teacher should have in his or her table or bag because all the hard work, effort and sweat of the students are all here. This is the basis of who will become this year's valedictorian. This is the where we put all the scores of the students they really deserve to have to. This is where we put the proper calculations. Without this, we can't have the people who we look up right now. Thanks to these class records, I do my job very well. I have this, and also my teachers who are my idols also had this and they had put all of my scores, high or low. They made me a better person because of the judgment and the teaching they installed in me. I may never be who I am right now because of them, and because of the class records they owned. Confidentially, my scores are kept and I don't know the exact transmuted score of it. But I guess I don't need to know it because I already found myself. Those grades in the class record were checked, transferred and right now, those grades embody me. And I am finally doing it to the next generation. I'm not sure with them but I truly believe that they are really the answers of the questions of today.
OINTMENT
We use this to treat wounds and scars, thus imperfection in our skin. Some ointments give us agonizing irritation, and others give us cool remedy. Our lives will never become perfect and we all know it. We had so many mistakes done in the past or even continued until now. We need an ointment to heal those imperfections which will give us downfall and discouragement in life. It could be a friend, a special someone, family and yes, our God! It may give you instant relief or a short-term healing but it will last forever. The formulation of this ointment is the people you truly love the most. The indication is to maximize love and forget the ugly wound you had in your life. The dosage for this ointment is endless, no number of usage but forever. How to store this ointment? Just put it in your heart, mind and soul and they will stay fresh!
Now the question is, did I pass? Honestly, it is really hard to do this in a snap but if you have a creative mind, and a creative heart, you'll surely get the right spot. Hopefully I achieved something after I somehow interconnected these five objects to my life (or to our lives!).
Toodles!!!
