Nothing beats the real thing August 23, 2008

I can’t access my old blogdrive accout. I’ve been trying for about two hours now but still to  no avail. That’s two years of blog entries that I won’t be able to read anymore! Crap.

Sorry. I didn’t want to say that but I couldn’t think of another word. I just realized how maintaining an online diary isn’t as reliable as the good old notebook journal. I haven’t a kept a real journal in about 3 years, not since I started blogging, it’s a shame, because for me nothing still beats writing in your own handwriting. My emotions are seen clearly on the way I write, for example I write really big when I’m mad, I even wrote one entry using black permanent marker. I’ve shared my most intimate secrets in this red journal I bought at Papemelroti back when I was still in high school, it has survived college, graduation, a new career, and 2 breakups.

I miss that journal, I left it at our house in Fairview. Since we transferred here in San Juan, I haven’t had the time to go and get it. I’ll try to get it on Monday since there would be no work. I want to curl up on my bed and reminisce on all the adventures I’ve had through those years.

I have this new journal, well actually an old one that my boyfriend gave me, but haven’t used yet.  I think it’s time to begin a new adventure.

 

You look pretty today! August 15, 2008

Ten minutes upon arriving at school, 2 people complimented me and said that I looked pretty today.

I think that just about made my week. 

And later, Yash and I will go out and celebrate our 3rd year anniversary.

That will make my weekend. :)

I love, love, love this poem!!!!

The Quiet World
 
 
  In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.

When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.

Late at night, I call my long distance lover,
proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.

When she doesn’t respond,
I know she’s used up all her words,
so I slowly whisper I love you
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.

Jeffrey McDaniel

 

Is is true? August 1, 2008

So me being me, I couldn’t wait for the next book in the Twilight series, so instead of being a good fan and just waiting for the book to arrive tomorrow, I decided to go look for leaks in the Internet, and this is what I find out:

* There will be a wedding (well, there’s no doubt about this since it was Meyer herself who said that it does happen early in the book.

* Bella will be a vampire…and it’s because she dies while giving birth (yup!) to a baby they will nickname Nessie…hmmmm

*Jacob will imprint on Nessie…hmmm this is the part that I’m not so sure I’m comfortable with, I mean Jacob to fall in love with Bella’s daughter?????

I wonder how many of these are true, but many said that they’re for real since there are some small bokstores in the States that sold it in advance.

But I still can’t wait to read it myself!!!!
