Googly Gooeys Left & Right "We're going left, right?" "Right!" "Why are you going to the right? I said left." "I asked you if we were going left & you said right." NO. You said left & I agreed so I said, "right". Fine, fine, so where are we REALLY going? "You're right! We're going to the left!"

I’m left handed and as I’ve mentioned before, I don’t really know why all the negative words are associated with the word “left”.  Lefties are activists, and in my own language, there’s a word kinakaliwa which is a derivative of the local word for left that means “cheating” while synonymously, left is also associated with lonelier words & phrases like leftover & left behind.  On the other hand, right means correct and the word righteous is just oozing with perfection.  The world’s alphabets have been built for right-handed people thus lefties always have inky hands as they tend to write over their letters. :P

I know history has a good explanation behind this but sometimes I think that there should be a movement to change the derogatory words associated to “left”.

XOXO,

Summer Komikon Googly Gooeys Booth

We were at yesterday’s Summer Komikon 2013 :) We arrived 1 ½ hours before the opening for the booth set-up.  I just realized, we don’t actually have a decent pic of ourselves with the booth. Lol. We were so busy the whole day but we tried to take turns going around the main hall & conference rooms :D

Googly Gooeys Good Days Versus Bad Days On Good Days: "Oooh! Let me post about all the happy things in life!" On Bad Days: "People posting about happy stuff? Hmp. They're all so annoying."

Hello Everyone!  :)
We have a guest writer :D My fellow washi tape, calligraphy, watercolor & camera-loving friend Aina Rosales has been giving me tips on how I can possibly improve my writing skills.  So, for today, I’ve invited her to share with us her thoughts about this cartoon ;)

——————————

Remember when you’re in kindergarten and you used to sing the kiddy ditty that goes “when you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!”? Then you go and have fun, change the action to “stomp your feet”, then repeat the whole song until you can’t think of any other ways to fully express your childish glee? Well, if you remember doing that then, you, my friend, are old…like me!   Joking aside, we really don’t sing about our happiness nowadays because it’s easier to just post about it on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (not to mention less embarrassing too!), to the point that you have posted about your good vibes (5 seconds ago), your I’m-so-happy face (4 seconds ago), and your reason for being happy (3 seconds ago). Although the idea is to “share” about what made you giddy or delighted on a supercalifragalisticexpialidocious day, have you ever thought about the grouchy monsters lurking around your social media network? These grouchy monsters are having a monstrously bad day that they would rather rain on your parade than bask in your sunshine, say, making a scathing or sarcastic comment on your post.

So for today, which one of you is the Giddy Tipsy or the Grouchy Tipsy? (background music: when you’re happy and you know it, you make a tweet!)

Aina also writes & shoots for When In Manila :) You may check out her posts here, here, here & here :) Check out her blog, Tweet Aina & follow her on Instagram :D
