Most of you who regularly read my posts here know how much I love reading. And unlike most readers, I love re-reading books that touched my heart.
I just finished reading Johanna Lindsey’s Malory novels. I love the Malorys. They are like a family you would want to join if only you could. I specifically like James and Anthony Malory. The brothers who are always throwing jabs at each other but are the best of friends. And I love Amy Malory’s story the most.
I am starting to re-read the books of Julie Garwood. I am starting the Buchanan books now.
So how about you, do you re-read books?

Where can I get fat burners? I need them! I now believe it’s in our genes to be on the heavy side. I mean I am on a diet, exercising as much as I can, but I am not losing weight. It actually makes me want to give up. But some people really inspire me to continue. Plus, when I am having a hard time breathing after climbing a flight of steps, I think of not eating at all anymore! I want to be healthy more than I want to be slim.

This girl is so fascinated with talking watches. I am thinking of buying one because I am the type of person who works by the clock. I want to be always aware what time it is. A talking watch is a great find for me because it can remind me every now and then what time it already is. It can be a lazy way of looking at the time but when you are too busy doing two to three things at the same time, you either forget to look at the time or when you do look at it, chances are the time you saw is wrong. Especially with my blurry vision hehe

I once worked for a trading company. A good friend of mine worked there that time and when two logistics jobs opened, she thought I could do it. She asked for my resume and gave it to her boss. Good thing I was not considered for the logistics position because I am no good at it. An accounting position opened and I was immediately considered. I ended up working for the company and I learned so many things from that brief stint.

If you could be any age again for one week, what age would you be?
I would love to be 17 again. Starting out life as an adult, embarking on a college degree, not yet committing monumental mistakes that would change the course of your life. When I was 17, I was so naive. I thought life is good and that I could do no wrong. Of course, life was hard and it turned out to be full of downs most of the time. I regretted so many things I did and if I could go back, I would have taken a different path.

What are you reading? What have you just read? Would you recommend it?
I just finished reading Sundays at Tiffany’s by James Patterson. It was a really good book. It is a touching story about a woman and her once imaginary friend. I love the book so much I read it thrice!
I have also re-read the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. Of the 4 books, I love Twilight (the first one) and Breaking Dawn (the last one) the most. Especially the last half part of Breaking Dawn. I think I’ve read it 6 times now. hehehe
Oh and yes, I am recommending the books to you. You will enjoy the books.

My vision is becoming blurry again, even with my eyeglasses on. I think it is time for me to go see my eye doctor again and have my eyes checked. I am near-sighted and has an eye grade of 5.00 right now. I guess it went higher now. Sigh. I need to get new eyeglasses anyway so I think I will go this weekend.
I really envy those with a 20-20 vision. It beats having stylish eyeglasses anytime of the day! 
But I am scared of an eye surgery. In fact, I am afraid of anything that has a connection with doctors and check-ups and medical procedures. I hate going to the hospital if I am the one to be checked. My friend, Lynn, had a lasik surgery when she went home a couple of years ago. Her eyes got infected and I should have taken a picture so you could have seen how large her eyes became. She looked a lot like a frog! Thank God the swelling was gone after a week. It made me more scared of the procedure.
Oh well, eyeglasses will do. Contact lenses if needed. I’ll settle for that

I read Breaking Dawn. Again. I think this is the 4th time I read it. I was so wrong when I said that I didn’t like it. That one scene really made me decide prematurely. But when I got past that annoying scene (where Edward was begging Jacob to take Bella)… it was all good!
Twilight the series is really the best for me after the Harry Potter series. Of course, the latter is still numero uno in my list. I’ve read all books again and I never get tired of it.
BookAdik talaga! Hehehe

Do you know how it feels to hear the little girl at home giddy when she sees Joe Jonas? It is funny, really. I mean little girls now are so aware of cute boys and all. Maybe because she sees them when we change tv channels. The Jonas Brothers are everywhere. At MTV, Channel V, MYX, the Disney Channel… Hazel likes Camp Rock so much! When she hears the Camp Rock song and This is Me by Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato, she wants the volume a bit louder and would hum and try to sing the songs. Hahaha

I was once a war freak. It takes little provocation for me to get into a word war with someone. A look that did not go well with me. A smirk. That’s all it takes and I would lash out. Oh, no violence for me. Just words but I was always ready for something more. I was always spoiling for a fight, you could say.
But then, in college, specifically in second year college, things changed for me. My brother got sick and it made me see life differently. There are just so much more in life and being angry all the time is plain crap. I could choose to be angry or be patient. I chose the latter.
Being patient could put out a tiny spark of anger most of the time. It was, and still is, hard until now. It will always be hard for me to be patient, I guess. It is just not in my nature to be patient. I am trying, though. I don’t want to be angry if I can help it. It saps my energy. Plus, it wreaks havoc to my aura 
My friends won’t believe that I am a changed person. But when they see me now, they know that I mellowed down. Feels good to be positive most of the time.
