The Fifth Marauder

it is a lazy sunday, and since i didn't have any deadlines or crap to do for school, i decided to surf the net and check my lj. and then i peeked through her graduation ceremony pictures. none of my friends were even there in those pics, but looking at those familiar gox faces, smiling widely for the camera in their caps and gowns, i could not help but feel a bit sad. don't get me wrong, i'm so over whatever has happened to me a long time ago, but i just couldn't help but think, if only i have been a bit more focused, a bit more smarter, i could have been one of those people in mela's pictures, with a happy smile plastered across my face because i won't have to study ever again. (or rather for quite a long time, since we can pursue a masteral degree or a doctorate if budget and time permits it hehe)

but that moment has passed now. i am consoling myself with the thought that everything happens for a reason, that god has a bigger plan for me that he has yet to unveil. i would just have to be a bit more patient. congratulations to all of you people who is now part of the real world. hehe.

 anyway, i just wanted to say that i love reading and it frustrates me sometimes that the people i hang out with all the time right now does not have time for, or do not like reading. well the ones who do not have time for it claim that they too loved reading when they were younger, but then they started working, got married, and had children, they can't seem to make the time for it. i just hope that when the times comes that i have more responsibilities than i do now, i won't be like them. i don't want to give up my most loved hobby. it's just that i miss talking about how funny the latest harry potter book is, how i love neverwhere and wouldn't mind being stuck in a deserted island with that book alone, and how i love dan brown's books even if he pretty much uses the same storyline in all of his works.

I had to wonder if men were so blinded by beauty that they would feel privileged to live their lives with an actual demon, so long as it was a beautiful demon.

i have just read the book recently. and no, it's not what you think. i am not joining the bandwagon, i did not read it just because it's about to be "uso" when the movie comes out. well actually the movie was the reason why i bothered to read the book in the first place. i was at faye's house a few weeks ago and she showed me the trailer for the movie, which i think is actually pretty amazing. i have to admit, i was not at all interested in reading the book because frankly i am not that keen about the japanese culture. at first. but then i read the first few lines and i got hooked. i don't know whether it is because of boredom or my need for non-nursing reading material, but i actually enjoyed the book. however, of all the beautiful lines in the book, this was one that struck me the most. but no, i am not just saying for the nth time that boys are superficial (though i still stand by it ), but this applies for girls as well. i myself am guilty of this. it still amazes me sometimes how superficial i can get. and i seem to get more superficial by age.

i do not usually watch pinoy big brother. not that i am turning up my nose against it nor hate it, but it's just that i do not have time for it, even with its multiple episodes a day, almost 7 times a week. come finals week however, i did sit down and  watch it because i wanted to procrastinate. i would have to say that it's ok. it's funny and that sam guy is so hot hot, but it's not a show that i would actually make time for to watch everyday.

i am loving my sembreak! it's just so amazing how time flies so fast! beacause the last time i checked, i was nearly in tears trying (but failing) to take my partner's bp. now, if somebody asks me how far along till i graduate, instead of saying 3 more effing years, i can now say 2 and a half more effing years!  yay!
