Twilight

When a friend first mentioned to me about this book, called, twilight, i was like, DUH?!? Then she told me that it was about a romance between a human girl and a vampire... i went, "Mercy! I haven't gotten over how Joss Whedon tore Buffy and Angel apart!" No more impossible romance plots for me, please.

About couple of months ago, I began getting all those news regarding twilight books and movies, how it was one of the highly-anticipated book-to-movie event, yada-yada, so i told myself, read it and be done with it. Against my better judgement, i borrowed the twilight books... and, well...i must say, it's addicting.

I'm not sure how twilighters would react, but I honestly believe the the 4 volumes could be condensed in 2-book series. Give me a break, how many heartless bloodsuckers are out there planning to kill bella anyway? One book solely devoted to bella's reckless attempts to "hear" edward's voice and edward's pointless attempts to sacrifice his one true love for the greater good. Another book talked nothing about one of those heartless bloodsucker out to avenge her lover's demise. Call me heartless, but, I would be happier with just two books.

Going back to my addiction, well, I must say that I'm quite satisfied with the movie version. Although I was initially not to be jumping for joy with robert pattinson as edward cullen (maybe because he will always be cedric diggory to me!), he had proven to be edward cullen. With a little subtle changes here and there (for cinematic purposes, i think), the movie remains true to the book and for that I am grateful to the production people.

Although I'm not THAT crazy over the book 2 and book 3, I will still be looking forward to seeing bella and edward onscreen. Yes, this is an addiction! hehehehehe

It's O-V-E-R!!!!

Whew!!!!! I have never felt this much relief over something akin to confusion, well, actually of my doing. I wasn't really that serious over a possible change in my life. I was more of testing the waters but, of course, I just had to be caught up in a tangle of misunderstanding. Good thing though that even if the final resolution wasn't ideal to the other end, for my end, there was nothing but relief.

Am I speaking in riddles? Let me put it simply, I made an impulsive act without really thinking and put me in a spot where I almost lost not only my present employment (although I had an offer, quite good actually) but a very good friend as well. Luckily, all's well that's hopefully really do ended well!

Awkward Much?!?

In as much as I try to go along with everybody at work, there will still be a couple of those rub me in the wrong way. I really try to be fair in dealing with them even though most of the time I struggle between strangling them or simply slapping them silly. So I guess, it's (more than, actually) awkward to be put together in a confined space, let's say a car. Although I am pretty sure I can be civil but question like what the hell will we talk about aside from the weather bugs me from the word go.

Should I or Should I Not?

I am in a dilemma of my own making!!!!!! Should I get myself a new mobile phone or should I get myself a new ipod nano-chromatic? Choices! Choices!!! If only, I can get both!!!!!

I Really Do.....

I never deny that I'm not the nicest of persons nor the most patient but I really do try to consider other people's feelings in making decisions. Somehow, I am more than baffled with this one person I know. Don't get me wrong, I don't see the two of us as friends. We're more of two persons forced to co-exist 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Harsh, I don't think so. That's how it is, really.

In fairness to her, we never really have anything BIG against each other. But, we manage to, unconsciously or could be consciously, rub each other in the wrong way. To make this brief, we are not operating on the same frequency. Actually, she's not too bad during her good days but she has this streak of meanness in her that never fails to make me want to commit bloody murder.

Again, I never deny that I'm one the laziest persons in the planet but I am aware what my duties are in line with my work. I am also very much aware of how important is to sustain a working inter-personal relationship. But she just makes me want to shake my head from 9am to 5pm, it's as if looooooong personal calls are part of her job description. What irritates me the most is the nonchalant way she responds when I ask her about work. Is it me or is it the work? If it's the work that she dislikes, well, I'm so sorry, there's nothing I can do for her. She has to work that one for herself and, hopefully, with minimal effect on me. On the other hand, if it's about me, she's not exactly an endearing person as well. So, I guess, in some weird way, we're even?!?

Refer to Maker

I learned something new today. If a bank would rather mention specifically the reason why it's returning a check because the risk will be minimal on it's part, it would put 'REFER TO MAKER'. I wonder if I can use that, too.....
