Little Miss Nerdy Me

I just finish reading White Oleander this morning. I know its been a long time since i started reading the book. I got the book in August last year at Goodwill bookstore, Manila for a bargain price of 20pesos. Its not that im a slow reader, its just that the only time i read the book is at night when i go to bed. Sometimes i dont read at all.. i just dive into my bed and doze off.

I find White Oleander to be somewhat dark and tragic. Sometimes too tragic i dont want to keep on reading. But somehow the curiousity of whats going to happen next to Astrid keeps coming back to haunt me. So i open up the book and start to read where i put off.

I am now starting to read a novel by Elizabeth Berg entitled 'Open House'. I read a couple of pages during breakfast. Unlike White Oleander, this one's a love story. The reason why i bought this book (considering that im not a big fan of love story novels) is because it has the 'Oprah's book club' tag on it. As ive mentioned a thousand times before, im collecting books under Oprah's book club, or just books mentioned on the show. I have a few here.. and in my opinion they're all of good quality readings.

Ok.. now im starting to sound like a nerd. Books are my treasured assets..i have plenty of 'em (excluding my schoolbooks, that is) and im still collecting. I have this dream of having my own little library in my own house..one day. I think it'll be cool to have something like that.

It was a heated discussion that we had on facebook on religious issues. No, it wasn't between Christian and another religion but it was between Christian denominations. It all started by this boy, who at the end got a taste of his own medicine. As an Adventist, i respect other religion and also other Christian denominations. I don't go here and there proclaiming that i am in the right path and tell everyone to be an Adventist just because i believe i am in the right religion. Everyone, no matter in what Christian denomination they are, be it Catholic or protestants and also other religions (Muslims, Hindu, Buddhist) they all believe they are the right religion in the world but that doesnt give you the right to go condemning other people's belief. So yesterday, this is what he posted on his shout out box: He is a Catholic, so indirectly he is saying that other Christian denominations are FAKE. He claims that God gave him visions and voices to go and save the human race from ...

I hate

I hate it when people suck up on you and then bad mouth you once you turn your backs on them. The same goes to those kinda people who claims to be your friend but will only seek you when their in need of something and will not give a rats ass about you when you're in need of help. I seriously think those kinda people need a good kick in butt. I dont think its necessary for me to name any names, you guys know who you are. Its just sad to see how things are now, considering that we all were quite tight in the beginning. Oh well, i guess this is for the best.. anyway thanks for showing your true colors.

Christmas shopping

Image
I am done with xmas shopping (for my own self, that is hehe) What i bought? well, let the pictures do the talking: I only planned on buying the purple dress but since the denim jacket & yellow whaddaya-call-it was on sale, so i grabbed it. I dont think i'll be buying any new shoes coz i still have my purple shoes i bought at China last summer, that i rarely wear and it still looks like new. I still have a list of stuff to buy before christmas. Hopefully i can finish it up latest by next week. Christmas family gathering for mom's side is going to be held here, at my house. I was against the plan of having it be held here coz i like going back to Goshen, Kota Marudu (my kampung) it brings back all kiddie memories, and i guess thats why christmas is more felt there. But since my grandfather was the one who wanted it to be held here, i guess its set. I just hope many relatives of mine from Goshen will be able to come here during christmas. Tuesday night i went to the SASS Alu...
