Yawn...
I hate mornings....seriously.
The good news is that the typhoon was nothing but a HUGE anti-climax. After all that hype, we didn't even hear or see any storm (and we were up until 3am!). It's pouring down today but that's nothing out of the ordinary either. We had a lot more rain and wind a few weeks ago during that 'plum season'. Bad news for Sander, though, as he had to brave the wet outdoors and get to work. Hehe.... ^_^
So thanks for all the comments of concern. Everything's looking good at this end and I think we've been spared the floods! I think we're merely looking at a wet weekend as the worst is apparently already over.
Aside from being totally exhausted thanks to Sander waking me up earlier than normal, things certainly feel a lot better today. I feel a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders (re : that problem I mentioned yesterday) and I actually feel...cheerful. :)
OK, it's not *that* rare an occurence but I might as well celebrate that fact. I've been fairly moody lately so I'm revel in my cheerfulness for a bit. :p
In other 'news', the TomKat plot thickens and there's still no sign of baby Suri. If the tabloids are to be believed (those ever-reliable sources of useless information), even the child's grandparents haven't seen the kid. I don't know....I know that they probably don't want to whore out their child so early in life (yeah, right!) but aren't new parents usually very eager to show off their child? Who *hasn't* been subjected to this at some point in their life? I think it's just a natural feeling that parents have and I can't see anything wrong with it. After all, babies need constant human attention in order to develop their communication and interpersonal skills. I'm pretty sure that's an established fact so I can't understand what is going on in the lives of this very crazy couple. You'd think that after all that media attention regarding their 'love' and pregnancy that you'd see *something* for it.
Katie's been seen out and about lately and was quoted as saying the baby was fine and was back at the house. How many new mothers go off with friends and leave their baby behind? Sure, all new mothers need a break and there's nothing wrong with the father spending some time with his baby (I'm assuming Tom was looking after her in this instance) but how is it that not ONE photo of the child has surfaced? Not even one paparazzi shot of Katie holding a bundle. Heck, I've seen Gwen Stefani's baby at least a dozen times and she had the child a full month (I think) after Katie. I must say this whole mystery has got me captivated, even more so after I saw this photo comparison. She's the only woman I know whose tummy got smaller prior to giving birth. What is going on?? Seriously? o_0
Will the existence of Suri make a difference to my life? Is it really essential to my own existence that I see a resolution to this perplexing affair? Do I want to be considered as a superficial bitch who has nothing better to do with her time but read up on celebrities? No. But, damn, am I intrigued....
Just to show I'm not entirely superficial, I think the whole Israel/Lebanon thing is getting seriously out of hand. I understand that Israel is concerned over the wellbeing of their kidnapped soldiers but surely they have no right to launch such an attack on a sovereign state? Israel is taking it out on civilians and completely destroying Lebanon's chances of rebuilding itself after its long civil war. Why is the UN being so quiet about this??
EDIT - I'd just like to clarify I'm angry with the Israeli GOVERNMENT, not its people. And it's equally detestable that Hezbollah have started to launch missiles at Israel.
