I don't even have it in me to cry, though I badly want to and wish I could.

I'm tired, and physically in pain, not to mentioned emotionally drained.

I wish this would all just get over with already....

The Ick Factor

I've a weird feeling about this guy I met recently.

I have a sneaking suspicion he's interested in me.

Not that a man being interested in a woman is weird!

Only... this dude is 4 years younger than me!

He's a sweet kid and all, and I was all flattered with the attention in the beginning, but now he calls me all the time and I'm not sure what to do abt it!

and time.... goes by... so slowly...

I've just ticked London and Palma (Spain) in my Travelmap on Facebook for "cities I'm going to visit"!

:D

I'm sooooooo eskiiited!

Book-lover's spat!

You know that thing about those mills and boons books that everyone seems to like?
People like to read it cos there's always a happy ending?
I can't read them!
They're completely unoriginal (which is a sort of a given) and so boring!
I know how it's going to end, so I have no patience for the soppy heroine who's wondering if she'll have her "happily ever after". I can't empathize. And it's not even like a good chick-flick movie where there's some comedy or at least a good pair of shoes to lust after, if nothing else!
Give me a Walk in the Woods with Bill Bryson anyday(hilaaaarious!).

Why am I talking about this suddenly?
I went to the Magrudy's warehouse sale yesterday, a half hour before it closed, and was frantically looking around for books and ended up with 2 lonely planets (for 5bucks a piece! :D ) and 3 other random books, out of which one is a chick-lit that somehow irritates me no end!
Chick-lits aren't as bad as Mills and Boons. They're usually quite funny. But this one is just buggin! I feel like telling the author to just GROW UP, live a little, get some real problems, then maybe attempt to write!

Anyway...maybe it's just me! So I'm gonna dump this book! ASAP! So if anyone sees a brand-new Mrs.zhivago of Queen's Park just lying around a coffee-shop or something... you're welcome to it!

I'm off to the sale again today, I'm going to get a few more lonely planets and see what else I can scavenge!

Arrrrrrgh!

i hate hate hate hate hate HATE HATE HAAAAAAAAATE my job!
Someone give me a new one before I self destruct!

Movie Moments

Today we all went to watch a movie. Inglorious Basterds. We decided kinda at the last minute, and around 9 people ended up coming. After the movie, we went to get ice-cream, and we were all sitting around our table at the ice-cream shop, planning our next trip (to Spain *fingers crossed*) and joking and laughing and just generally being when one couple takes out a sheet of paper and passes it around.
It's a sonogram.

She's pregnant and he's beaming with happiness.
Everyone's shocked and overjoyed and hugging the girl and shaking hands, making cracks about getting old and having babies and midnight cravings and labour rooms and whatnot. I'm so excited and happy for her, for them.

Of course, the moment was bitter-sweet.
We're all growing up now. We won't be able to take off to Spain, or even a movie, at a moment's notice anymore. Priorities change, life happens, as it should!

The whole scene today, the atmosphere at the ice-cream parlour, everyone's general bonhomie... I just want to capture moments like these. And hope that I too, some day, may have a day like this. I realize now that I don't want anything very extraordinary out of life.
Love, marriage, babies, friendship... that's not too bad is it? Or is it too much to ask for?

I guess I'll worry about it another day.

Why wait for the new year for change?

My sis leaves tomorrow, my job sucks, my love-life is non-existent, my friends are busy with their own lives...
So, instead of moping around, I thought I'd do something interesting.
I've volunteered for MEIFF. I hope to do something different, meet new people, have some fun...
a little change is always for the better, right?!
