Well. as most of you may know, i am basically the camp person in my office and yesterday, we were invited to speak to a girls camp about engineering and do a demonstration. and being the diligent worker that I am, i was preparing my materials the day before and when i needed to glue these construction paper onto milk cartons.. i came face to face with the DEVIL himself.
that thing exploded in my face and hands and everywhere as soon as i used the back of the cap to puncture the opening. My eyes started stinging and i was rushed to the eye wash station at dupuis and basically ran my eyes under the water for a good 15 mins (that was what was instructed on the labels on the tube.. but honestly, I dont trust anything that thing says after it exploded on me) my eyes were raw and red aftewards and then i was rushed to the health clinic for ANOTHER wash... finally the doctor used some dye to dye my eyes and checked under the black light and found that there is only a little speck left in my eyelid and decided that it will go away by itself. *whew*
I went home with two very sore eyes, superglue covered face/hands, very frustrated though VERY thankful that it is not God's plan for me to be blind. oh thank God! so
Lession of the day: do NOT buy superglue from dollar stores even if your boss says so. I acutally check to see that tube afterwards to find that it is COMPLETELY empty. i supposed there were a lot of pressure stored up insdie it. but i swear i didn't leave it out in the sun! it was in the A/C room all the time... :S
Anyway, i went downtown for a walk yesterday and I thank God once again for being able to see...
my fav pictures..
I also happened to catch the end of the farmer's market downtown and met this lady who is packing up her homemade jewellery booth.
Farmer's market
She makes those name pendent that carrie wears in sex and the city!!! So i started saying how my name wouldn't look good because it is too long and has too many "e"s in it.. to her realizing the "queens"'s joke.. to her saying how life is funny and little signs usually tells you little things... to life has a purpose and it is Jesus.. and her sharing to me how she has been very bitter agasint God since her husband died but she is still trying.. It encouraged me so much that she so freely admits her weakness to a stranger and how transparent her life must be.. But I also pray that her bitterness will soon be gone and she will find new life in Christ again... We talked for a little longer and then we parted ways with us saying "God bless" to each other. I think i will visit her again sometimes, she has two most precious little dogs and i enjoyed talking to her. :D
i will be shopping this afternoon too abby, but of course i WISH that i was at eaton center shopping with you :(
anyways.. you guys wanna join me at http://www.torontopartigras.com/ next weekend, give me a holla! :D

I knew when you started the post that it was not going to end well...haha...you poor thing...are you ok now?? no more red sore eyes?? haha Well, i guess it was good that it was from the dollar store rather than a hardware store or something, 'cause it probably would've been MUCH MUCH worse!
So did you end up buying anything from the lady?? That's really great, though, that God gave you that opportunity to speak to her. =)
that's the most affectionate comment i ever got! ppl should be more like michael. k thx :D
gladys: i'm ok now.. hahaha.. hey at least i don't think hardware store glue will explode on me.. no i didn't end up buying anything fomr the lady.. soo expensive! :D
michael: haha.. well i say that because i need to protect gladys' fragile heart- if she actually knew about these amazingly sensitive creatures called boys... she probably not want to be single anymore now would she?
and dude. i loove you too :D
if GLUE is the devil, then what does that make that guy with the pitchfork, has horns coming out of his head, and is usually dressed in red, and has a tail, and looks mean?
oh right, a PANSY thats what.
Haha, good one "eHrOn"... Hmm...what to say? Woooooo :P

OH Q!!! that sounded sooo freaky!!! i thought for a minute that u'd have an impaired vision...u should sue them!! that's so dangerous! what if someone else gets super glue in their eye?? I can't imagine what kinda pressure was inside that super glue...how bizaare...

i was ALREADY floating in midair for a while before i can come down and reply that post, michael.
Like I said... Woooo... hey "Ehron"... I think I saw that name before... is that the name for the evil Dragon Balls Dragon from Dragon Ball GT? Too bad I missed some episodes, but I just finished watching that series the other day...
