The Flowers by Robert Louis Stevenson
All the names I know from nurse:
Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse,
Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smock,
And the Lady Hollyhock.
Fairy places, fairy things,
Fairy woods where the wild bee wings,
Tiny trees for tiny dames--
These must all be fairy names!
Tiny woods below whose boughs
Shady fairies weave a house;
Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme,
Where the braver fairies climb!
Fair are grown-up people's trees,
But the fairest woods are these;
Where, if I were not so tall,
I should live for good and all.
About two weeks ago, after seenig a TV documentary on blind people and literature, I became interested in Braille. When I studied it more closely, I came to the conclusion that it's a genius way of writing information: computers complicate with a bunch of zeroes and ones: when I wrote my name that way, I used up 2 pages. Braille, however, only takes a few dots. I therefore decided to learn Braille. I looked up a tutorial on the internet and went to work. I memorized the alphabet, the numbers and a few symbols in a couple of hours. I also practiced reading and writing by drawing the dots on paper. A couple of days ago I went to Ljubljana and bought a Braille slate (it's the silver plate on the photo), which is used to write proper Braille as little bumps on paper. Before, I learnt Braille visually by looking at the dots, but now I'm learning it properly: blind writing and reading by touch. The writing must be done in the negative: you have to write from right to left and mirror the letters, so that when you turn the page over everything is written correctly and you can read from left to right. I'm pretty good at writing already and I actually find it easier to write with my eyes closed, just feeling the cells and the dots. Reading, however, is trickier, mainly due to the fact that my feeling of touch is not particularly sharp yet, but I can recognize the letters and words by feeling the bumps already. Practice makes perfect, right? ;-)
I intend to introduce as many people as I can to Braille. This way, people will get to know each other better and start living together, not just existing side by side. The world will be a better place then, I believe... :-)

okay.. this is my crazy idea.. i had to edit the sizes of the photos and it gave me a hard time doing that...
i had an idea which will show my daily routine.. so here it is.. :)
Sunday - this is the family day or God's day. i usually wear dresses every mass.
Monday - it shows my school uniform and i have to wear it every Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. patience... this will last only for almost 5 months because soon i will be graduating, if God permits. :)
Tuesday - it is my funky, ragged style.. i feel comfortable with this.
Wednesday - this is so me... you will see me as simple as this. shirt, jeans, flip flops, messy hair, no make ups, no jewelry..
Thursday - i love sun, summer, shades, flip flops, etc etc.. this photo explains a lot.
Friday - formal.. yeah, there are times that i have to be formal, i am not that comfortable with it but at least i can handle.
Saturday - sports... i may not into sports but i adore swimming and volleyball and badminton.
Guys, this is my routine.. sorry for my crazy idea.. :|
Riding through the Kyoto backstreets, where the whispers of history echo between the wooden frames and woven bamboo of old-town houses, a solitary cyclist moves through the serene afternoon light.
I've been trying to get a Braille labeler, but they're all so expensive. So, I decided to make my Braille labels by hand. Plastic Dymo tape, which is usually used for Braille labels, is quite expensive, so I came up with a cheaper solution. I bought a roll of self-adhesive plastic foil, cut a few 1-inch (2 cm) stripes and used my Braille slate to emboss the Braille letters on it. It works great and I can now organize everything!
