If you like someone, do you tell your friends right away or do you keep it as a secret? Personally, I usually keep it to myself — at least for a certain span of time. Cause time will eventually come when you’d finally snap out of it and you’d badly want someone to talk about [ Read More ]
Alright, this will be the 1st of my 5 upcoming posts about things I learned/realized from the movie A Little Thing called Love. It’s much like what I did with 500 Days of Summer. So first stop, my thoughts about self-help books. In the movie, Nam in her attempt to make PShone fall in love [ Read More ]
I had this password protected before. I was unsure if I’d be able to cope with the challenge so no point of making it official yet. So I tested the water first. And so far, so good. Christian, my trainer from the office asked me what are my plans for 2011. That got me sidetracked [ Read More ]

Me and my friends had been regarding our rest days much like that: Freedom. And whenever we’d punch in the clock that signifies the end of the work week, we’d like to pretend that we are saying that word much like the way Mel Gibson did when he was portraying Braveheart from the movie of [ Read More ]
I’ve been burying myself with reading books these past few days. My room mate left me for good and that left me the privacy and freedom to keep my room’s light on as long as I want. Although the main reason why I left the lights on was: I felt spooked. (Yes, I do believe [ Read More ]
The first ever book I’ve bought from my own allowance was the first book of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Anne Brashares. It was a second-hand book.
