Li'l Miss Minchin

I got up this morning thinking of what to wear.. hmm.. anything that would match my drama for the day.. eyeglasses (frame & simple lens, 0 grade).

During my grade school days, I dreamt of having a pair of glasses. Why? I don't know.. maybe because I envied my classmates who has a pair or probably curiosity; how it feels like or how I would look wearing one. I remember asking my mom (she wears glasses) to buy a pair for me everytime we pass by an optical shop. And whenver I ask for it, she always has an excuse to say... "It's not necessary baby", "It would not look good on you", "It might impair your eyesight", "You're too young to have one". In spite of her multiple ehoic excuses and my numerous pleads and persistence of owning one, she never lost hope that I would soon get over it (Mom's really know best). All these years I thought I did -- until this morning. Something led me to wind up this fragmentary portion of my childhood. And today, I decided to put an end to it.

And so, I did.

When I got to work, everyone was at awe when they saw me!
Some asked, "Why are you wearing eyeglasses?" while others showed concern, "Hey! What happened to your eyesight?" A lot remembered the famous Miss Minchin in Princess Sarah (Sarah, the little princess) in me ... hahah!!! Everytime someone calls me teacher -- I would smirk & say, "Ehem.. I'm the Principal.. now, get back to work!". There are some who even failed to recognize me! Would you believe that?!

It's funny how people close to you or people you get in touch with everyday react when something's changed. We're so used to routinary stuff & would be amazed, rattled, scared or bothered when we see something new. I guess that's part of being human --- braincells & stuff; the wonders of science.. :D

Anyhow, I think I did "well" today. :D Well in a sense that I was able to accomplish my office tasks & portrayed the role of Mrs. Minchin very well... ooops! I meant, attained my other goal for the day... the feeling of wearing the well-celebrated pair.

Tomorrow's another day... hmmm... I'd like to have a sequel.

Li'l Miss Minchin day 2. :D
