You are, my heart's desire, and I have fallen to, the point of no return...
I am currently suffering from Avatar withdrawal symptoms. I wish there was a fourth season. *sob* To Jeremy, and anyone else currently watching the series, go slow!!!! Take your own sweet time and enjoy it. I rushed through all three seasons and now I have nothing left to watch. *more sobs*
I caught Marley & Me last Sunday and it really surprised me. Mostly because I thought it was going to be some ditzy chick flick and it wasn't. I love the reality in it. Best Hollywood film I've seen recently. And for the first time in my entire life, I saw a RAT (yes, that furry little disease-ridden thing) scurrying about in a cinema while watching a movie. My family and I had front row seats and everyone had their feet up! Funneee.... (I bet that rat was in perpetual heaven. FOOOOOD EVERYWHERE! xD)
My toothache is gone 'cause I visited the dentist today. Woo hoo! No more pain every time I eat or drink. I also passed my essay exam which is nice 'cause I don't need to redo it. :) Mind maps DO work. Except I forgot to organize mine so my points were all scattered. Hee. Gonna try organizing it next exam. Okay, I've bored you enough for now. I keep sleeping after midnight everyday, this is SO unhealthy......
I leave with you some Marley & Me reviews lifted from Wiki I think are quite spot on... (I boldfaced some parts.)
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times called the film "a cheerful family movie" and added, "Wilson and Aniston demonstrate why they are gifted comic actors. They have a relationship that's not too sitcomish, not too sentimental, mostly smart and realistic."
Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly graded the film A-, calling it "the single most endearing and authentic movie about the human–canine connection in decades. As directed by David Frankel, though, it's also something more: a disarmingly enjoyable, wholehearted comic vision of the happy messiness of family life."
Steve Persall of the St. Petersburg Times graded the film B and commented, "Marley & Me practically leaps at viewers like a pound puppy seeking affection, and darn if it doesn't deserve some . . . Things could get mushier or sillier, but Frankel and screenwriters Scott Frank and Don Roos — who usually handle grittier material — decline to play the easy, crowd-pleasing game. Their faith in Grogan's simple tale of loyalty among people and pets is unique, and it pays off . . . [It] isn't extraordinary cinema, but it relates to everyday people in the audience in a way that few movies do without being dull."

I can see clearly now the rain has gone...
Today, I went hiking! *trumpet starts to play triumphant music* And... I almost died. *music winds down to an abrupt stop* Haha! It was actually just trekking but you all know how UN-FIT I am. It turned out to be tons of fun though.. and it is WAY easier than the actual climbing of a hill. I did that in Lumut before, and believe me I REALLY died. There's still a half-dead piece of me lingering in the shadows back there. Lols.
BTW, which FYI means by the way, Monday's a holiday!!! Wooo, really looking forward to that. School is getting rather.. shall we say, monotonous. OH, and remember how my dentist appointment got postponed because of my three idiot brothers? Well, now my tooth aches like nobody's business because I was supposed to have gone yesterday. Now I'll just have to toothache it all the way till Tuesday. Thanks a lot guys.. that was really nice. SIGH. Sometimes boys can be the most insensitive creatures on the face of this earth. Okay, enough about that. Enjoy your hols, people! Live it up this Monday. Haha, or at least do something remotely fun. :) Cheers!

If you haven't heard Colbie Caillat sing in French yet but want to, download this: Ces Petits Riens. :D

The force-feeding of updates!
This is basically the part where I tell you everything that's happened to me recently even if you don't remotely care. Hah. Okay, first off... I don't have my allowance anymore because I failed to sleep by ten and my parents are Nazis. Two, I bought a new pair of pants. Golfing pants, to be exact. I think this is my third pair. Let me elaborate a little.... golfing pants are expensive, but FREAKISHLY comfortable. I don't think I ever wanna buy a different kind of pants again. :)
Also seem to be getting lots of pimples lately. As a matter of fact, I just popped one. xD I know it isn't good to pop 'em because you'll get scars and whatnot but I just can't resist. Hee. Popping pimples is GOOD OLD FASHIONED FUN. Anyway, a quick thanks to all the peeps who actually took the time to write comments. :P It's a great start to world domination! Lol, I'm already getting ahead of myself. I'll see you in a few..
Love,
Rachyyyy
