Last night my mom told me to visit my brother's house this morning around 5am. man,isn't so hard to wake up in the morning. i got used to waking at 8 because i kept sleeping at 2am. well, then after that i was asked to go to a school and give out their tarpaulin. then i went home walking almost 2 1/2 kilometers. Then my mom used the computer to talk to my auntie abroad. while waiting for her to finish, because i needed to do mylot again, i checked on CNN. Damn! i forgot about the Solar Eclipse, and the sky was just clear. then, i rush in and pick up shades. then i look at it, it was too damn bright, but i lay my hand near my eye so i can a glimpse. I don't know if the Moon was leaving or entering the sun. i went back and took my cellphone to check it out and picture. Darn it! the clouds are coming! and they covered the whole thing, what a spoiler! but i did see it and it was exciting. It says in the News that there won't another kind of that Eclipse until year 2152. Said to myself "No Way am gonna miss one" So sad i can't picture, i decided to make an art description of what i saw. not the real thing but that's what i saw. so Damn cool! If the clouds are out of the way, i might check it again, if it's gone then the eclipse is over. i'll give an update to some who responds to me. for the moment it's been blocked off by the clouds. It's nice to see this once in my Life.. How about you? have you seen it?! damn clouds stealing the scene!

Hi Letran! Sorry to hear that you missed the Eclipse! I haven't watched the news today, but since we weren't able to see it here in the US I don't think that we would hear too much about it except from people like you who lived in areas where it was happening! You weren't supposed to look directly at it anyway because it could hurt your eyesight I believe! So whatever you did see is good enough! Don't worry about it! I'm sure if you watch your local news they will have all kinds of photos of it and you will be able to see just what it really looked like! I did see one photo of it on the internet and it was pretty cool!

How lucky that you remembered and were able to some of the eclipse. Someone in India posted a discussion about an hour ago about it but here in the states were were sleeping. I wonder if we will get to see it this morning...
