God these people.

Have you ever been in a situation where someone takes your seat in a plane or bus and pretend like they own it? Then when you attempt to talk to them about this 'mix up' they start to study the emergency flight manual or become REALLY into fastening their seatbelts. I can see your eyes pal, they're shifty.

So I was on Facebook one day (actually I'm on it everyday- I lurk) and the amount of mundane things people talk about is exhausting. I'm all for sharing defining moments in life but going out for Chatime isn't revolutionary.

Oh and meet Cherry. She's pretty and she knows it, but she doesn't need to take self shots of herself every other day for the approval of the masses.

Too damn scared

to try.

I used to think that my teeth were fine. They're not perfect, but I didn't see the need to fix them. Then I started reading orthodontics. Boy was I wrong. I lost my canine guidance. I'm trying not to tongue thrust even when I don't have the habit in the first place. My anteriors are too proclined. My canines are too yellow. My mammelons are not equal in size. 

Have you had people tell you they are not as good as you because you are studying in a university and they didn't? Thing is, if I don't study dentistry, I do not possess any other skills to make a living. I respect the work that you do, but why won't you do the same for yourself? You've worked just as hard to get where you are, so don't sell yourself short. 

Just the other day, I was waiting for the lift, when someone comes to wait too. He presses the 'going up' button, even though I've already done that. Buddy, it's been pressed. It's like saying I didn't do a good enough job pressing that button, and that having you press it will make the lift come faster. 

How long did it take for you to realize that your horoscope readings in the newspaper were utter rubbish? I took them pretty seriously when I was a kid(why hasn't this happened today?!) Later on I would read them to amuse myself. Here's mine for yesterday:


You have an unusual gift for making a situation seem less dramatic, Aries. Today, you'll witness crises of all kinds. You will be the one who reassures people, and the one who can sum up the situation objectively without panicking or exaggerating. This, coupled with your legendary calm, makes for a great combination!

I'll tell you what happened yesterday. Woke up, did some revision, sent some text messages, went swimming, gossiped and had a good laugh over it, did more revision and slept. Crises of all kinds, pfffft.

Caught off guard.

Estranged as we may now be, we used to be the best of friends. That could probably remain, but I chose not to. So be angry at me. I will let you.

I have outgrown everything that was in the past, and I'm sorry it took you a much longer time to feel free again. Finding someone else to love first doesn't mean I win. You won, because you loved me longer. But please don't make me feel guilty for feeling happy once again.

Nevertheless, you were once an amazing person to me, and I wish you all the happiness that you deserve.

Do what you need to do to forget. I never did, because some memories are worth keeping.

So be angry at me, I will let you.

So many things to say to you.

Fortunately, I'm not a bitch. So lucky you.

Life has been giving me a good share of ups and downs lately. But nothing I can't fix!

But what I really want to talk about today is movies that I've watched recently.

1. Julie & Julia

It is enjoyable to watch Meryl Streep, as always. She makes Julia Child such a lovable character, and her kitchen in the 1950s makes me wanna have a kitchen like that. As for Amy Adams and her character Julie Powell, it makes you wonder if you too are THAT obsessed with your blog.

2. Pulp Fiction

I think the best part of this movie is the dialogue. Here's one:

[Jules, Vincent and Jimmie are drinking coffee in Jimmie's kitchen]

Jules: Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice right, but he springs this serious GOURMET shit on us! What flavor is this?
Jimmie: Knock it off, Julie.
Jules: [pause] What?
Jimmie: I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead nigger in my garage.
Jules: Oh, Jimmie, don't even worry about that...
Jimmie: [interupting] No, No, No, No, let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?
Jules: Jimmie, you know I ain't seen no...
Jimmie: [cutting him off again; getting angry] Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?
Jules: [pause] No. I didn't.
Jimmie: You know WHY you didn't see that sign?
Jules: Why?
Jimmie: 'Cause it ain't there, 'cause storing dead niggers ain't my fucking business, that's why!

3. Larry Crowne

Funny and inspiring, but quite predictable towards the end.

That's all for now, I'm hungry.

Very happy inside.

Sorry I've been gone so long, been busy sitting like a boss.

But really, I was preoccupied with:

1) Baby

2) Taking pictures of Shan

3) Reading the funnies from the Oral Surgery textbook

Time well spent.
