last week

I haven’t written in quite a long time. Well, I did post an entry about my biking trip last week, but I hardly wrote since the abundant pictures said a thousand words. I’ve been wanting to write lately, especially since I’ve finished exams, but it’s been a week now and I haven’t posted anything for some reasons I’m not even sure of. Nor have I started, well resumed to be specific, reading my long-stowed books deep inside the cupboard here next to me. I’m looking at it now, and I feel even guiltier. =P Anyway, that’s the thing about needs: when you get them met, you don’t need them anymore. Have you ever felt this way before? It’s like when I was in the exams period, I’ve thought of zillions of things to do and fun to go straight after the exams, wishing it be over soon, but now, I don’t feel like doing all those things and I’m contented with things they are.

Okay, I always have hard time remembering what I did days ago, even yesterday seemed quite blurry to me. Let’s see what I’ve still got depending on my wee hindsight. I had the Economics paper on Monday, I went for a shopping spree on Tuesday, buying things for the picnic on the next day, went to the Henderson Waves after the picnic, and............................................................................... uh-oh, I really am having a hard time remembering what I did from Wednesday onwards. Well, let me think……. honestly, nothing significant happened after that day cos what I did on any day between Wednesday and today pretty much resembles what I did on a day before and after it. Urrm… get what I mean? Well, whatever. Don’t bother reading that sentence over and over again if you don’t get it the first time you read. It doesn’t mean you’re stupid, okay? Please don’t take this personally. At most, it just means that you’re not smart. kekeke =P

Anyway, I just remembered what I did yesterday, like I went to the temple in the afternoon, bought some stuffs for friends in hometown, had lunch and had dinner. Okay, that sounds boring, of course I had lunch and dinner yesterday. What I’m trying to say is that my sis made pasta for dinner yesterday. It’s the nicest aglio oglio spaghetti I’ve ever liked. And by nicest, I mean nicest with a capital N. It’s goooo-oood! I wish I took a picture of it with me drooling.

And oh, I think it keeps coming back to me now. How could I forget the most major happening that I had for last week? Sometimes I just don’t get myself. Hais..

Okay, I’m spitting it out.

Wait for it…

Wait for it…

Wait for it…

I’m in a relationship!

Oh wait, that’s so wrong. okay, i'm kidding =P
I don’t wanna sound tacky, but I think if there’s someone who’s secretly in love with me right now, he/she is most probably having a heart attack and is just as relieved as earthly possible. Haha =P.. okay, I’m practically trying to be funny, so if you don’t find me funny, just say ha-ha, keep reading and don’t tell anybody.=P

Speaking of relationship, here’s a newsflash. Actually there’s a friend of mine who just newly got in a relationship lately. O well, not trying to be nosey, but it’s been very hot a topic and it’s just impossible not being nosey when everyone’s nosey about it. Well, if you see her wall on the facebook, you’ll get what I mean. =P So anyway, I’m congratulating you now, if you’re reading this, my-friend-who-just-got-in-a-relationship, a.k.a duckie. Haha =P

So where was I? Let’s get back on track. Okay, although my happening isn’t as happening as my friend’s happening, I think it’s happening enough. (and I should seriously stop saying happening)

So, my bro and sis got me a premature birthday gift last week. Well, my birthday is clearly still long, but we went to this store which was having a private sale, and I fell for this Ferragamo bag. It’s purple and nice.

And so I liked this bag, contemplated for a night, but no, I lamentably didn’t dream about it, and then I went back to the store on the next day, determined as ever. So we went there and I grabbed the bag high, as if it was my proudest moment. But that’s not the end of the story. I then saw a Celine, sandwiched in between its other fellow Celine bags, and that was when I started to lose my stance. It sat there very gracefully, as if it’s waving at me and sending shiver down my spine, and I was slowly swayed away from the ferragamo with my new-found heartthrob. You know, it’s what people call love at the first sight. And just like that, I fell out of love with F, just to fall into C.

Okay that’s a little farfetched, I know. =P

Well, you can say that I like it for no apparent reasons and against all logics where F is full leather and it’s got more value for the money, whereas C is just jeans material. Well, here’s the thing. I’ve never liked any jeans bag or wallet or whatsoever. At some points, I even dislike it. But this is clearly one exception; I can’t even start to explain why. So yea, love is blind. =P

Well, other than that, I went to this Bellini club on Saturday. Well, it’s more like a live band show where people get to dance in front of the stage. Some with upbeat songs and sometimes it’s almost like clubbing but less crowded. Quite fun though.

So that was last week.

I still have lots of things to write actually, but somehow I ended up writing something else. Happens all the time. I think I’ll get back to it some other time. I've lost the momentum now I guess.

I am so starved I can practically eat anything right now. And strangely my sister’s dead asleep beside me. Nothing to do with me feeling hungry though. mute point, peeps. =P

Remember when Carrie Bradshaw be a model for just one day despite her being a writer who’s got an inner model that struts on New York streets? I think this might be my all time most favorite scene. Watch this clip and you’ll get the same awe that I had the first time I watched it.

I had a choice. I could slink off the runway and let my inner model die of shame; or I could pick myself up, flaws and all, and finish.

And that’s just what I did. Because when real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep on walking.
