Because I'm turning barok - The Return of Edell the bookworm

I went to a friendly bookstore late this afternoon to window shop. Well, that was my intention - but apparently, i did more than window shopping - i splurged.

When I was in highschool, i would spend my savings on books. I would buy paper back romance novels worth 300 - 500 bucks and when you're in highschool, that's a whole lotta money. It was an addiction that i eventually was able to outgrow. Until i discovered that i was turning barok.

There were a couple of words i can no longer spell correctly. Subject-verb agreement issues and a whole lot more!!! I was bothered. It was just so freaky - so i decided to get back to reading.

I bought 2 books today - expect more come salary time. I bought Hardboiled and Hard Luck by Banana Yoshimoto - pretty interesting book. It's just 149 pages with huge fonts. Hardboiled is about a woman mourning on the death of her lover, also a woman. While Hard Luck is about a woman who was left by her fiance after an incident which left her in comma. Pretty interesting huh... I also asked a friend to buy me another Banana Yoshimoto book - weeeeee! excitement!

I also bought, Diamonds and Daisies by Bernadette Strachan - well, the review says "witty, enthralling, heaven" - mmmm - this is a contemporary story about a woman who found the man of her dreams but eventually realized that this might not be the fairytale she has always wanted - maybe it's just too good to be true....wahaha! so me!!!

confession: aside from the fact that the plot is pretty interesting - the characters are more interesting: the heroin, lives with a spherical couch potato - so me, an irish nun just moved in to their spare room - my name is actually, that of an Irish saint, for real and she also lives with a workaholic virgin - need i say more

anyhoo...ill blog about these books once i finish reading them...

Got curled for the occasion

It was my friend's birthday last night, Cathy. It actually was an advance birthday party - so a number of HP people went to Cathy's place. It was a laid back party, but the fun, as always was never laid back. We just laughed the whole night - talked about stuffs that we don't usually talk about in the office. Here are some of those:

1. translate famous lines in the movie 300 in different languages, such as spanish, french, mandarin and tagalog...t'was hilarious!

2. spongebob squarepants...

3. deep dark secrets (we do talk about these in the office but not as intense as last night) - Cathy got grilled...hehe...good thing they did not ask me anything about my so-called love life...

I got curled for the occasion. I was waiting for Katt's text so while waiting, I decided to curl my hair. It ended up ok. I actually like the huge curls - goldilocks curls. I'm planning on getting permanent curls...for a change...

Mmmm...anyhoo, now lets move to a different topic - kinda not related to the previous stuffs i mentioned in this entry, but oh well, this is my blog anyway. They say girls are complicated. They say it is always, alwats dificult to know what girls are thinking and it's a challenge to read their actions. Well, I have to admit, there was a point in my life when I was a little complicated. I mean, I still am but not as complicated as before. Now, I am more straight forward, or at least I try to be. For some reason, people just find it hard to believe me...LOL..Like there's this one instance when I told a guy that i like him - of course, he though it was a joke so he didn't take it seriously - and I've given up. Now I understand why it's important for guys to know if the girl they like, like them as well. It's just so hard to be out in the open about your feelings and the other person won't take you seriously - great, now I know how it feels....the more that I need to be straight forward about my feelings...

This blog is so out there!!! I'm like broadcasting my whole life! Oh well, only a few people have access to this one and unlike other blog sites, people don't get updated if I have a new entry. Amazing!

Now...

I'm gonna admit...

who I currently have a huge crush on...

"he will be in your world soon"

I have a huge crush on...

RG...

Told ya, this blog is so out there!!!

Way back into - romantic aethiesm - nah...

So, what did I do today?

mmm...

Jost, Lors and Ming crashed and we had spicy tuna pasta for lunch - Jost cooked. Then we had fried chicken and ice cream, then we tried to watch The Devil Wears Prada - eventually, we decided to hit the Ukay without finishing the movie. No good finds for me today, so we just went around and shopped for pirated dvds...oooopppppssss....

I watched Music and Lyrcis and fell in love with "Way Back into Love"

"I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine I've been searching but I just don't see the signs I know that it's out there There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere"

lookie, the lyrics are on the right side of my page - i was actually trying to embed the song here but I was not successful...anyhoo, I posted a link though, so if you wanna listen to it, just click on the link...

enjoy na song guys!!!

You have to help me forget you...

You got it, you got it bad...sorry, Usher's song is on MTV...

anyhow, i don't know why i'm blogging...maybe because something's bothering me again...

who would have thought i'd bump into a friend today...in a really huge mall...and that good friend would ask about someone i was trying to forget...actually, i was doing great already, until today....damn! damn! damn!

now i'm being punished - hence, the birth of this entry



the four-paged green document is just here, resting silently in my drawer, i am tempted to open it and read it...again...for the nth time but I'm trying not to...


I'm sorry, but up until now, i still don't get it...somebody explain it to me!!! please...


why do you need to say you baked a dozen cakes when all you had prepared for is one cookie? lies, lies, lies...when will people stop lying?



You said you'll finish what you've started...apparently, you left me hanging again...you always do...and i always let you...when will i ever learn?

You said you'll explain everything to me..when i get home...i was home several times...nothing happened...

You said you wanted to see me and i believed you...now im starting to believe that those were just words...never meant... - more of "i didn't mean to say those things - sorry, i was joking"


"Maybe we obsess too much over relationships we feel unfinished" - can we just finish this so that i may stop obsessing over it? trust me, it's a little bit tiring already. I tried doing it on my own, but I'm stuck...i need a little help from you...you have to help me forget you...

your pink police are everywhere!!! damn!
