Angel(s) in Disguise

Angel in Disguise

by Corrinne May

I woke up this morning

feeling kind of blue

when I stumbled out of bed

dragged my feet across the room

Right outside my front door was a rose and a note that said

'Somebody Loves You'

But out on the street it starts to pour

before I get soaking wet,

A total stranger runs to give me the jacket off his back

I turned around to thank him

But he waves me with a smile

I can hardly believe my eyes

He puts on a halo and starts to fly

Take a look at the ordinary

Don't need to look for Paradise

You could be next to an angel in disguise

I met a good friend for lunch

and we had a delicious meal

But I forgot to bring my wallet I felt like an imbecile

But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and

Bought me a chicken sandwich

To take home for tea

But out on the street with nothing to eat

A man and his shopping cart

go travelling to places,

Collecting social graces

I give him my sandwich and we chatter for a while

I see a rainbow wash over his eyes

He gives me his halo and I start to fly

Take a look at the ordinary

Don't need to look for Paradise

You could be next to an angel in disguise

Don't try to hide away from me

I know you're by my side

Take a look at the ordinary

Don't need to look for Paradise

You could be next to an angel in disguise

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise

Everyday can be legendary

Every minute, an endless surprise

You could be the next angel in disguise

I woke up this morning

Feeling kind of new.

I used to have an Angel in Disguise but it turns out the angel was really just one in disguise. It's nowhere to be found. Maybe my angel has returned to heaven or has moved on to another mortal. Most likely the latter.

But recently, I found out I've more angels than I thought I had. My ex 4E3s descended on Simpleville last Tuesday and touched my heart (many times over) with their 'surprises'.

I thought I would have been forgotten but their sweet gesture told me otherwise. I then realised that during the only two years when my birthday was not celebrated, they were the ones who came and brought me joy.

And on Wednesday, I realised I have another Angel in Disguise. Some angel placed a Strawberry Shortcake purse with 3 Kit Kats in it and a note signed off as "Angel".


Was trying to figure out who my angel could be:

1. Must be female
2. Could be a fellow jedi, a student or an ex-student
3. Someone familar with Strawberry Shortcake (A brand name in my era)
4. Someone who owns that piece of notepad.
5. Someone with neat handwriting
6. Someone who's in school on Wed.

Haiz.. I guess I'm back to square one... I have no clue who my Angel in Disguise is..

Anyone who recognises the notepad or the handwriting, please call 1900-ANGEL-IN -DISGUISE

To all angels out there, past, present and future, God Bless.

Happy 2nd Year Anniversary.......... 7 Years Later...

12 /07/2007 .. 2nd Year's Anniversary...hmmm..and Mark's DOB too...

It's exactly two years since I first blogged. Total posts to date: 124.....

Last year, I actually gave a roll of honours for my ramblings...
This year, I simply couldn't....

Looking back at my posts for the past year, made me feel so sad... There were entries on death, goodbyes, last day on earth, sickness, rats, drownings, end of the world... so depressing. Perhaps, a reflection of reality and of how life unfolded itself.........

Ironically, when I was a teenager, I thought 27 would be a good year of me.. purely because the number meant a lot to me back then.. Alas, it wasn't......

Hence, to "celebrate" 7 Years Later's 2nd Anniversary on the 12/07/2007 (wow.. i shall add 2,1,&7 to my fav numbers list), I shall make a pledge to stop blogging depressing topics and lead a happy life for myself and my loved ones...

Afterall, la vie est belle!!!

7 days later...

ARRRGGGHHHHH............
doing the count down..

In 7 days, I'll be ........................... (count the number of dots)

Happy 1st Year Anniversary.......... 7 Years Later...

12 July 2006 .. 1st Year's Anniversary...hmmm..and Mark's DOB too...

It's exactly one year since I first blogged. Total posts: 77..... on purpose? Nah.. It's fated...

To think the first entry was done during a lesson.. ahh. before you start to judge.. it's for an EL lesson.

Thought such blogs would die a natural death.. Thought like most new initiatives, it wouldn't last. Thought I wouldn't be so free to blog about something at least once a month... Once again, I was wrong.. like how I was wrong about many other things.

Well, decided to have a roll of honours for my ramblings.. aka the 7 Years Later Academy Award...
