Monday.
I am looking forward to a lot of things. Hoping to hear from the people I have been waiting to contact me. Trying so hard to be optimistic and productive with my work. Pushing back thoughts on money that I think I will not have very soon. Racing my thoughts to finally come up with a concrete game plan for next year.
There are times I want to fast forward things just to see how I end up. But yeah, I need to be patient. So for now I will wait.

Recap on last week:
Friday night, went out with friends from work to see New Moon. Wasnt disappointed that much, since I didnt expect much from them. Actually, I expect improvement. With Dakota Fanning, a new director, better casts and all, I thought that this time, they would go the whole 9 yards. But I was wrong. There were parts in the movie that I have seen before, not in other big movies but in school - on films made by my classmates.
I totally didnt get her screaming-while-sleeping part - she was having nightmares pala. Dont blame me for not reading the book. If it was really good (the acting or the film), then I could've gotten it. Like the Richard-KC movie (yeah, i watched it, sa sine pa haha). We were late so we didnt see like the first 5 mins. We started on the part when they were stranded on an island. They were telling stories of themselves and the whole time I thought KC was portraying to be a yuppy, middle class girl. Parang hotel staff kunwari since she's been wanting to go back daw sa hotel. Fast forward, she was playing a poor, supermarket employee pala. Sorry, message sending failed.
So, fine she was having nightmares, I asked what was she dreaming about. Was it the wolves that she is seeing? A premonition? What?? The answer, the nightmare was the day when she was left by Edward. Okay. I didnt see that much pain on the actual day she was being dumped.
I dont know what irritates me more, the acting, the film or the book. I think all of them. Sometimes I blame media for hyping this so much when it wasnt really that good! I know deep down, we all know that it wasnt good. But we just keep making excuses why it turned out so lousy. This actually made to my Gretchen list - something/someone that I love to hate. Oh well, I went for my friends anyway, so it's all good.
Saturday and Sunday was pretty much the same. Ended up tidying the house which is good. Went to church, which is very good. Watched a lot of TV and took naps in almost every corner of our house.
friends,
monday,
movie
