"...Weep with people who weep." -Romans 12:15

(This piece is a repost.)

Death, perhaps for everyone, is an enigma that's so hard to accept.

When death strikes, eveyrone in the family, as well as other relatives and friends are often at a loss, mostly asking the question 'why did this happen?'

The bible urges us to weep with those who weep. Helping a bereaved person calls for compassion, discernment, and much love on one's part. We should not wait for the bereaved one to come to us. We should not simply say, "If there’s anything I can do . . ." Find that "anything" , and then take the appropriate initiative.

Encountering death recently, I was devastated. I wasn't able to do what I wrote here...I know in time, my tears would stop falling.

Hajimemashite!

One of the events I'd be watching out for this year is the Cosplay playdate among students, enthusiasts of Japanese Anime.

I met these too cosplayers while they were waiting for the bus, and it might have been a good coincidence that the event was held near our place, this year I'd be sure to bring along my kids and hubby...dressed perhaps as ninjas! ;-)

Graffiti are still in!

Graffiti are still very much part of the Viennese landscape! As usual, taken from a moving train, yes, elevated but still not of an issue for the rebel artists!

Spring it is!

The sun has literally been out! Yes, and we can now wear lighter jackets! ;)

The winter that was

The sun has finally been smiling on us. I can say goodbye to the coldness that has enveloped us for this winter!

Cheap eyeglasses!

Are you having eye problems? Unless travelling and you feel dizzy and your vision blurs, it may be time to have a check up and see if you'll need eyeglasses.

I have been seeing a lot written about Zenni Optical eyeglasses, there were so much buzz about it that even the Examiner.com recommended it to readers in a recent article about contact lenses and prescription glasses. So I took the ride and looked at what it's all about.

Zenni Optical offers 8$ complete prescription glasses, a steal from the usual fare of 118$. Each frame comes in stylish designs and colors.

Unfortunately or fortunately, my eyes are perfectly ok, so if there are just designer frames for a cooler look, I'd definitely take one. Though priced lower, these eyeglasses boast of anti-scratch coating feature and full UV protection. Each also comes with quality hard eyeglass case and microfiber lens cleaning cloth. Zenni sees to it that each piece is invidually suited for the wearer, not only with design but the quality of each to assure comfort and satisfaction, they are health items after all! The biggest plus is you get these eyeglasses for a price you won't regret...It seems too good to be true but is it possible to get a pair of glasses for such a price? It takes week before you can get your glasses from Zenni optical opposed to same day or two days from other local shops. Well, this is because they are manufactured overseas but be assured that the quality is competitive to what the local market has to offer.
