He's Just Not That Into You
The book was my relationship bible a few months back so when the movie was shown, I just had to see it, of course. =))
I kept this "long quote" of the movie handy for some girlfriends having "emo" moments and of course for MYSELF when i feel like having an "emo" moment as well!
"Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you, he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on."
"Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment, you never gave up hope."
Sooo nice, right?!

It’s a Friday.
I got in the office and after finding out that my data dumps are still unavailable, I wondered what to do while waiting... hmnnn..
So I checked my mailbox for any email that might need immediate attention and yeah, there’s none that required my undivided attention.
I knew I will have to wait for at least an hour for my data to be ready and my day to start rolling so I have an hour to spare and I thought, ok, blog.
I haven’t been religious in this blogging thing and when moments like this strike, I knew I just had to grab it.
It’s August 28, and after the long weekend ahead, it’s hello September! Here comes the dreaded ”ber” months.
Whenever I hear the “ber” months, the following things immediately come to mind:
1. Another year is about to end – and I can vividly remember myself thinking “it’s a new year” last January.
I had plans for 2009. hahahaha. But that was it. Plans.
2. I am about to get a year older – sometimes I don’t know if it’s good to be celebrating my birthday towards the end of the year.
Most of my friends celebrate their birthdays on the 1st half of the year and when they whine about getting older – it’s usually followed by, “you just celebrated your birthday, it’s still a long way to go before your birthday. But it’s just the same thing, right?
3. Christmas is coming – I need to start saving for gifts! As much as I love to give gifts during Christmas, I am not a very good saver. So I also cram on saving money for the hoidays.
4. The cold months are coming – for a tropical country like the Philippines , I love the cold December nights. It also reminds me that I am still single and still don’t have anybody to cuddle with. (aside from my reliable stuffed toys, of course)
5. Why am I still with this company?
Honestly, I always tell myself that i'm going to look for a new job when a new year starts but then, i just dont know what happend. duh! Can't a job just find me? hahaha... I wish!!! =))
6. And this one doesn’t only come to mind on the “ber” months – WHAT HAVE I DONE WORTHY THIS YEAR??? =))
Again, It’s Friday. Now, I have to start working.
I still have a lot to think of...
