It's not dark. You're just BLIND.

Keep telling yourself "Reality is better than fiction." I've finished reading "Austenland" by Shannon Hale [[I love the book!!]] and in one of the reviews, it mentions the earlier statement. I irony? It's also a novel. Like blind leading the blind. The story is about a young woman, very single because she keeps comparing every guy to Mr. Darcy, her obsession. Though I'm not a fan of Pride and Prejudice [[I'm TRYING to read the book and see what the fuss is all about...]], I understand that Boys in Books are so much Better. It's a great story. About letting go, moving on and taking a stand. [[Though it's not as dramatic as I put out.]]




It was worth my savings. :) But I wasn't surprised, Shannon Hale is one of my most favorite authors.

But after a bad haircut, I find reality very... annoying. It's like wanting to enter a dream and never wake-up or go through a mirror to another world or something... what a novel idea. But then again, after a few days of trying to get over... stuff. I might reconsider.

Epiphany: Aside from being myopic, I'm blind. [[I thought these things only happen in book but...]] And I'm so stubborn I frustrate myself as well.

Extremely Ecstatic

iLabLabBooKs. =) I know I'm a bookworm and so?
Chuchi and I went to the [kinda] main branch of National Bookstore in Cubao. And gosh, there were 4 floors of books! Our eyes hurt from browsing all the bargain books and our hands were covered with a thin LAYER of dust. But it was worth it. =) Coming a long way there... riding the MRT [When was the last time I rode there before yesterday?]... because I managed to buy 3 books included in my booklist.
Yes, I made a list... a long list... of books I wanted to buy.

Yes. I am so materialistic. But hey, this is better than spending my money on clothes or shoes. I least I get to learn something... ahahaha. Nerd. I know... It's very disturbing.
