I've got your number

Done reading Sophie Kinsella's I've got your number....


Possibly the book that gave me 2nights of nightmares.... hahaha... just kidding! Although that dream is still a mystery.... Oooppsss... I meant NIGHTMARE!!!! This book landed on my Top 3 list!!! Next to: Jahnna N. Malcom's Mixed Messages and Cecilia Ahern's Where Rainbows End..... OMG!!! I totally forgot all about Paolo Coehlo's BRIDA!!!

The book is brilliant!!! I mean, I know Sam and Poppy will end up together..... It would have been better though if Magnus did fight for her instead of lying, cheating, and having the jits... hahaha..... I'm usually into tearjerker ending not much into the happy-ending stories... Well I can tolerate semi-happy-endings... u know, the mixed emotions ending..... A perfect example would be "If u could see me now" still by Sophie Kinsella... It ended quite tragically, having the imaginary friend/lover disappear... though I love the movie "Sundays at Tifanny's" which had a not-so-close plot but more of my kind of story....

I have to admit, I love the twists.... especially the gold twisted ring thing.... well it somehow popped into my mind while reading,,, and while I was reading I was like "Pls... noo.... nooo... not a ring from his tag party" and YES! it was!!! sucks!! then the whole wedding thing... didn't expect Sam to phone Poppy's wedding planner and text everyone..... The ending was just,, must admit,, typical.. yet it had a twist... something that made it not so typical which I can't seem to figure out what,, maybe the way she writes,, or because of the phone.... and I find the "want some coffee?" part totally charming!! And oh... totally love how she played with Wanda's character....

Of course it does not keep me from picturing something what I'd like to happen.... like say for example.... I thought since SAM cannot contact Poppy anymore he'll sweep her off her feet at the wedding by "STOP THIS F*CKING WEDDING!!!! POPPY DON'T MARRY HIM!!! YOU DESERVE FAR BETTER!!!!" and will have this looooooooonnnnggg speech about how they met and how he made her feel and can't stop thinking about her and there goes the BIG CONFESSION : "POPPY I LOVE YOU!!!!" then the 200 people will be confused, mortified, happy... whatever.... then poppy will say "I'm sorry MAGNUS.... SAM I LOVE YOU!!!" then the cliche hugging and carrying and twirling and kissing.... then her two brothers will work out the plan... sam and poppy will take the train to paris and live happily ever after!!! hahahaha..... ok! so much for me not wanting happy endings... idk... but there's something about the heroine which made me want to want a happy ending for her....

"Having a big brain is like having a big liver or a big nose. Why do you feel insecure? What if he had a huge lower intestine? Would you feel insecure then?”

“Lover? I don’t know. I don’t know if she loves me. I don’t know if I love her.All I can say is, she’s the one I think about. All the time she's the voice I want to hear. She's the face I hope to see. and I'll be standing outside the church"

"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
":)"
"HI" -----> Apparently were the shortest words,, or not even words... but had the deepest and greatest impact!!! Sometimes words just aren't enough for certain situations!!! the "xxxxxx" the ":)" and "HI" says it all ^_^

"CUP OF COFFEE??" one of my fave too... WILL SOMEONE OFFER ME SOME COFFEE!!!!!!! hahahahahaha

The MAGIC of TIME

Puberty

This is a PERFECT example of the Ugly duckling turned into a Gorgeous looking swan in human form. That's just how life works... you might not know that your geeky duck seatmate whom you always ridicule way back would turn out to be a top model in the future! The joke's on you!!!

or...or... the geeky duck would turn out to be your gorgeous stiff BOSS!!! How's that?!? and you'll spend your work-life being tormented by your used to be duck boss!!!

or...or... the ugly duckling who used to be your admirer/stalker until you acridly turned him/her down suddenly turn to a charming casanova or a ruthless heartbreaker....

there goes my blustering imagination again....


However, beauty is indeed just skin deep,, it will wear-off sooner or later.... let's see how he'll look like when he's 50! hahahahaha...


So... Pick the DUCKLINGS while they're still young coz tendency is that,,,... ducks and swans will switch in the near future!!! TRUE STORY!!!! Learned that the hard way... But like everything else,, there's always an exception.... you can never tell =p

Take the RISK!!! Hang out with and be a NOBODY today and you'll definitely be and have SOMEBODY in the FUTURE!!!! hahahaha....


and this folks is a complete NONSENSE!!!!! *bow* walay lingaw lamang!!

Living the dream!!! Hahaha…. Not really, but at least…. I finally finished something I longed to do for over a year…. Yep! MOVIES and of course read books….

Finished “Falling for you” by Jill Mansell….

“Do you still not see? It’s because there’s only been one girl I’ve wanted to settle down with, and she wasn’t interested in me. She turned me down.” He paused. “So I did the next best thing and became her best friend instead. Well, pretended to be her best friend.” -Jake Harvey




The story was far more complicated than I thought it was…. First, I thought it was a common love story, you know, star-crossed lovers but will definitely have a happy ending… Well, I was right about the ending part but never expected ALL of them.. I mean, there were what? 8 love stories sewn together and add the affairs and some complications…. There’s Maddy-Kerr, Kate-Dexter, Juliet-Jake, Estell-Oliver, Marcell - Maddy&Jake’s Father & the new dude I forgot the name, the ever adorable Sophie-Tiff and of course who would have thought Nuala-Den, even the two dogs Bean-Norris…… You won’t expect a small town to have such bizarre stories….
Hhhmmmm…. What shall I pick next??
