I Kissed Dating goodbye...(well not entirely!) and others...

Been reading the book that lola Carms gave me 2 Christmas(es)ago. It's I kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris. Yup...It took me about 2 years to get to finally read the book entirely. I got to read a few chapters back then but I never did got to finish it. I am almost down to the last few chapters and I have to say that although the author (which is cute by the way), have these idealistic views about how a righteous relationship should be, he has some pretty good points about how you should view romantic relationships and even if I know that I really won't be able to really follow what he has written down (on this book you really have to avoid being in a relationship if you are not intending to end up in marriage), it did helped me change my perspective when it comes to romantic interests. For example, I have decided not to dwell on the fact that I'm still single. I've learned to focus my singlehood into more enriching activities. (I'm still thinking what those activities should be..) In any case, I've learned to really not waste my time moping and sour graping why after 2 years, I'm still not able to find anyone to hook up with formally.

The weekend is coming to an end as I finish writing this entry... I'm finally shipping out of Experian, which has been my account for the past two years and to which I know all the terms by heart and could speak out the spiels even if I am asleep....My comfort zone. I'll be training for Earthlink, well, it's People PC actually, starting tomorrow, and I'll say that there is no turning back. I'll be with some of my friends, Kat, Ami and Jaggy. Alex signed up for the transfer as well, but for some reason, Aya and Rod did not make it, and retention does not want to give away some of its agents. Kaka, on the meanwhile, took off to Expedia without me. Hmm.. Although for the first few days of training, my schedule will be basically the same, 8pm-6am, I'm now beginning to wonder what my shift would be once I begin taking calls. I really hope it's nothing too drastic like I'll suddenly be on the morning shift or something. I'm certainly going to miss someone.

Spent the day watching the vcds I bought for 99 bucks each. I bought 3. Alex recommended I watched his favorite movie of all time, A Few Good Men. Although I was very interested in watching it, I was also expecting to be probably half bored by it especially at the start of the movie. But I was wrong. I really liked the movie...Very much. I liked the ending when the verdict was read out, and sadly, the 2 officers were dismissed and discharged. Jack Nicholson was great...And Tom Cruise is adorable. Thank goodness that the movie did not include any romantic plots between Tom and Demi Moore's characters. I also got a copy of my fave episodes of Sex and the City. It was where Carrie celebrated her birthday and the other was where she modeled for a fashion event and tripped on a runaway. I really love it! :) I still have to finish Stand By Me, which I have read as a book as well by Stephen King.

My highschool friends are planning a reunion on October 1. We've been sending updates in Friendster through the bulletin board and so far, the number of attendees are growing. My name is actually on top of the list and as I read the other people who were added I came across the name I was not expecting. Hah! My ex,who will be named *Unwell, who I never saw or heard from, for more than a year now. I suddenly got a strange feeling inside me. I felt compelled not to go all of a sudden. It's not that I'm still hung up on him or something (I am so over him ages ago..Please!) Its just that I really don't know how to act around him or towards him. I just feel that it's going to be strange, to be seeing him again, and worse, with people who were witnesses of our previous romantic relationship.

I think I would just like to go to that Nina concert after all......

I'm really having the jitters here about starting anew on Monday for Earthlink..Especially with its effect in my life. I pray to God that everything would turn out right.



* I have decided to give out codenames for those had/have/might have any romantic links with me, as to protect their identities while I write down the most absurd things about them....
