Lunar Eclipse In Sight

15 August 2008 By: Marlene14 Comments

I was sipping my mug of tea while flipping through the newspaper pages this morning when a small square of article caught my eyes. It says the moon will be partially darkened by the earth by midnight between Saturday and Sunday. I hope this translation of mine is good enough to be understood as the newspaper is in Swedish. I said to myself it could be Lunar eclipse this time. And so it will be. I became fascinated with eclipses after I witnessed the real total one many years ago in Davao. The thought of witnessing a different eclipse made me so excited and even thought of using my sunglasses – at midnight? Lol! This must be the craziest thing that my mind had ever conceived.

Just this summer I bought three pairs of sunglasses solely for the purpose of protecting my eyes from the invigorating rays of the sun. I have astigmatism and my eyes easily get tired in the sticking sunlight. I even use contact lenses when I wear sunglasses or otherwise I can’t see at all, hahaha! Why three when one is enough, you may wonder. I could not decide which one should I buy and so when I did I regretted the purchase after a couple of days. Until I ended up having three pairs. One pair I actually bought from Berlin which I thought they fit my nose. 🙂

I am supposed to be talking about the Lunar eclipse but here I am bragging my polarized sunglasses which I haven’t got a single chance to use them yet. I can’t blame me for not using them, but blame the weather.  Anyway, this is my first time to witness a Lunar eclipse and I don’t want to miss it or I will wait for the next occurrence in 2010.

    Nose and sunglasses! I hear you sister. Finding the right pair that won’t slip down our dainty noses are a must! Don’t worry, you’re not alone in this. I have 4 pairs. 2 for driving and two for casual use. If you have a 4 y.o daughter, it is a must! she broke so many sunglasses, I lost track. Happy weekend and enjoy the eclipse.

      Yes, sister, it goes with the nose, hehee. Nakakatawa naman kasing tingnan kung sa mga tenga lang nakasabit yung sunglasses para di mahulog. I’ve seen some who doesn’t really care and it looks stupid ba.

    Noong nag solar eclipse noong nasa province pa kami at walang sunglasses, sa isang plangganang tubig lang kami nanood, bawal daw kasing tumingin directly.

    At speaking of sunglass, kanina lang hinihingi ni Sean sa akin yung sunglass nya kasi daw gagamitin nya, sabi ko wag na kasi sa talipapa lang kami pupunta, ilang kanto lang ang layo sa amin. Nakakahiya naman kung mag sunglass pa sya papuntang talipapa, diba? Eh kasi daw naiinitan sya, masakit daw sa mata, haha! Pero di ko pinagbigyan, sabi ko mag cap na lang sya. 😀

      Naku, Amor, isusulat ko rin sana yang plangganang tubig pero naisip ko mahaba na. Yan din kasi ang ginawa namin nung visible masyado ang eclipse sa tin. Nakatuon sa araw yung planggana at kitang-kita naman talaga ang pagtakip ng buwan sa araw, hehee.

      Baka gusto lang mag pogi-look si Sean kaya gustong magsalamin, hahaa! Little James Bond kaya.
