whY doEs pooH liKe hoNey so muCh?
after about 8 hours, am back to facing my PC again...as if i have a DSL connection...anyway, it's nearly 12am and the connection's free by then so there has to be no prob...unless the net load's below an hour (which i hope it hasn't even reached yet because my sister's insisting on using the PC after me...poor her)...i spent the past hour reading some new book i got from book sale...it's really thick with this fancy cover layout plus it comes really cheap which compels me buy it...i saw it covered and seemingly new and i can just say it shouts "buy me! buy me!" at my face...thus, i spent the measly cash i had on it...all i can say is that it's not edited well and the grammar's really confusing...something i regrettably say i'm quite sensitive of...unless it's my grammar problems we're talking about...that, i really don't care much...skim through my blog to prove that...
anyway, the book's entitled "Honey Moon"...not that it reeks of those cheesy honeymoon stories...it's just that the main character's name is Honey Moon because she was well...made during her 'rent's honeymoon...and she has this sis named Venice because she was practically made in Venice...and well, it still has this love story embedded into it...but the plot's quite slow and i still haven't finished it...i've only reached to the part wherein she has put her wedding off and she's reminiscing on the love of her life and all that jazz...
anyway, i got a couple of lines from the book which i found quite appealing...for reasons i really am not sure of...
1) The brain is the biggest sex organ of them all. --> haha! really witty...
2) A thought is an energetic impulse that never dies. --> then how come i have those short term memory syndrome outbursts?!
3) Lecture on Healthy Relationships:
Stage 1: getting to know someone - discuss movies, play, tennis that kind of thing...
Stage 2: exclusive dating - holding hands, kissing
Stage 3: non-genital sex
Stage 4: genital sex
--> is this in any way related to those homebase theories? anyway, this one's too Western...at least for me...
4) Sometimes, getting what you want is the hardest thing of all.
5) Remember that story wherein a man saves himself from drowning in a flood by staying on the roof of his house...then he prays to God for help...boats passed by him asking him to jump in to save himself but he rejected the offer saying that God will come and save him...well, eventually, he drowned...and he comes to heaven questioning God why He didn't save him...well, apparently, God did come in the form of boats which he had rejected...
Apparently, this is applicable to love...we look for love...love comes our way...but we just reject them...in the end, we end up with nothing...
--> a food for thought
6) Clinical trials have proved that being in love is a kind of madness. It depletes your serotonin levels and manifests similar symptoms to that of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. You may experience high levels of anxiety and behave outside of your value system thus producing feelings of guilt, fear and shame.
7) We spend all this time and effort wondering who to love and if we love them enough. But the hardest thing is being loved. That's the hardest thing of all.
enough of my incessant blogging for the meantime...
