when my heart stopped

I like the movie. I love the dress.

The Lives of Other People

I just saw a foreign film, The Lives of Other People. The story was very simple but I like how each aspect of the story was presented. It was poignant, but never overbearing. It also had a good cast.

Whenever I see movies like these, I can't help but wish that I had seen it with HIM.

After seeing the film, at an indecent hour, I called HIM to say just that.

about me

I suddenly feel the need to write an "about me", I realize that such is something that changes through time. It is the start of a new year for me and most people and pretty soon, so will it be for the Chinese and so, it is fitting to write one.

I don't read romance novels, but I'd gladly see the movies.
I hardly read chic lit, but I enjoy the movie version.
I like to read fantasy books and I eagerly wait for the movies made off them.
I love Haruki Murakami and I hope they never turn any of his books into a movie.

I love nice shoes, but don't care much for bags.
I am all for good food, but I enjoy hawker places.
I like going out, but welcome spending time at home.
I have fun hanging out with friends, but look forward to my alone time.

I go for the nice guy--always have, but I'm not too happy around push-overs.
I've always thought that I was a cynic, but HE thinks I'm actually romantic.
I'm not the expert on relationships, but friends tend to come to me to talk.
I'm a realist, but I like to see the best in everything.

Family Guy

I could hardly wait until Saturday, when I could spend my whole afternoon watching Family Guy and end the day with a some Cointreau on the rocks.

i wana get...

Guy goes to the gym and heads to the treadmills, he starts the one right beside this particular girl. They have talked some before. He once got her a protein shake and tried to pass the gesture that he does to everyone everyday.

Guy: Hey. You're here.
Girl: Hey.
Guy: Let me see what you are listening to, pass me your ipod.
Girl: (hands him her ipod and reaches for his)
Guy: (scans through the songs) Not bad.
Girl: You have a few songs here that I should copy.
Guy: You know what? I think you are missing this particular song. It is a must have.
Girl: You think? What song?
Guy: (gets his ipod and scans to the particular song) Here. Listen.
Girl: You are so right! (laughs)

(It was Olivia Newton John's song, Physical)

A very kind friend went to Japan and got me a Ninja Star, which is meant to be for HIM. On my way to Manila, I brought it with me--in my purse. Let me point out that it could not, in any way, cause injury (unless some genius decides to swallow it, and even then, it would most likely get stuck in his throat).

When my handbag was scanned the security officer inquired about that ninja star shape. I took it out of my bag to show him. I thought he would say that it is cleared, but instead, he said "Please stay here, I have to check on this item". I politely said that I would wait.

A few minutes passed by and the security officer came back with two, more senior looking officers and one of them was re-inspecting my ninja star. It was as if my star was being escorted back to me.

When they reached me, they handed me my star and advised that it had been cleared.

I'm happy about two things, one is that these people are doing their jobs and the other is that the verdict for my ninja star's trial was, not guilty.
