G & Gari came over today to give me the invitation to their wedding. We were watching the Twilight DVD and Gari was working on his laptop when he suddenly said that “Isn’t he the guy from Harry Potter?” referring to Edward. Scenes from the Harry Potter movies started flashing inside my head and I just couldn’t place him. So I asked G and she said that Robert Pattinson also played Cedric Driggory in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. And I was like “Oh yeah.” Now, whenever I see him, I remember Harry Potter instead of Twilight.

I’ve started reading again and I am very pleased. My goal is to read at least one book a week and so far, I’m able to do it. I’ve already finished Nights in Rodanthe and Veronika Decides to Die. Next is The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. Anyway, I really need my eyes checked really soon. I know I’ve been saying this a lot but I’m really starting to notice it.

I really don’t know how to choose the right frame that would look good on me but I just want a plain pair of eyeglasses like this one:

It’s from the popular online eyeglasses shop, Zenni Optical. And they have $ 8 Complete Rx Eyeglasses, which I think is really cheap. I remember my cousin got her eyeglasses here in the Philippines when she came here for a visit. She needs a new pair and I’m going to recommend to herthe huge selection of holiday glass frames from Zenni Optical. There’s a lot of colors and designs to choose from, I’m sure she’s gonna love it.

I’m on hibernation right now. Tonight, we’re supposed to have something like a Christmas dinner but obviously I’m there cause I’m still doing this post. I didn’t give my new mobile number to all my of my friends so they couldn’t contact me but I forgot that two of them already know my new landline number. Cielo called me yesterday to let me know about today’s dinner date and she also told me than Ron will be there to give us invitations to his wedding, which is on the 27th and which I’m not going to attend. Tomorrow is Mike’s wedding and not going there either but instead, I’m going to my other friend’s house to go drinking and partying. Do you still wanna be friends with me? I won’t blame you if you don’t want to. Haha!

Why am I doing this? It’s really complicated but I’ve got my reasons, and believe me it makes sense. I just feel bad because all of them has to suffer when some of them really shouldn’t. But I do try my best to make it up to those few, promise!

I watched Twilight the other night and I liked the movie. Edward actually reminded me of three people in my life.

First is Edward’s being a vampire. It reminded me of my friend Carl. We used to pretend we were vampires, well, not really because of Edward but because of Lestat (from Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles). Before, both of us sleeps really late at night and we both like dark rooms. And then we’d joke around and say Nauuhaw ako, kailangan ko ng dugo! (I’m thirsty, I need blood!)

Next is Edward’s inability to read Bela’s mind and his attraction to her scent. This reminded me of AA. He never could get what’s on my mind. One time, we had arguement because I was kinda down and he came to my house to keep me company, or that’s what I thought. He was expecting me to tell him what was wrong and I didn’t and he complained to me about it. And the scent, he likes mine. Most of the times when we were on trips, he would use my body wash because he likes the scent. And there was also this time when he watched me sleep, just like Edward did Bela. We were on the beach and I was so drunk, he put me to bed and stayed with me for awhile. A friend told me the next day that AA was with me for awhile and they were already calling him but he wouldn’t leave my side.

Last is Edward’s being protective of Bella. This reminded me of my friend DA and OC. They’re really both protective of me and a couple more of girls in our group. They’re fast drivers but would drive slow because of us. They don’t want us wearing makeup and nail polish. They’d open doors for us. They’d let us in the car first and make sure we’re wearing seat belts and that our doors were locked. They’d carry our stuff for us and if only they could, they’d carry us so we won’t get tired. Haha! When guys were making moves, they’d put this invisible wall around us, especially if they don’t like the person. I could go on and on but I’m sure you get the idea. :)What draws me to Edward? The mysterious look on his face and the way he stares! I’m always attracted to guys with mysterious looks, makes me want to hug him and comfort him. That’s how I got attracted to AA when I first saw him. Haha!

Looks familiar?

It’s the tin can of Yellow Cab’s yummy ice cream. On my previous post I said I wanted a Fisheye camera, here’s one of the projects that I’m thinking of… circular albums. Yep, that’s why I wanted to buy the circular cutter too.

When I finished eating the ice cream, I washed it and placed it on top of the computer table to let it dry. It made me think of what I’m going to do with it. Then I remembered seeing the circular cutter at Jenny’s store and it’s like the light bulbinside my brain turned on. Haha!

Now I’m thinking, I’m supposed to be losing weight and now I have to eat Yellow Cab ice cream for the tin cans. Hmmm…

I wanted so much to go to the new National Bookstore branch near my place but my mom and dad left while I was still sleeping and my nephew dropped by on his way home from school. So, since I had no one to go with, I just stayed home. But I really wanted to buy a book so I went to Books For Less by myself. It was my first time to cross the overpass in Tandang Sora and boy, it was long. Haha! And imagine this… it is made of steel and electric cables are attached to it. I don’t know what’s wrong with the people there, seriously!

So, I bought two books… Nights in Rodanthe and The Notebook both by Nicolas Sparks. I’ve already seen The Notebook and already familiar with the story of Nights in Rodanthe and I also have ebook copies of both but I was really itching to buy a book and the titles that I was looking weren’t available so I settled for the two. And I don’t have an ebook reader yet and too lazy to read something on the computer monitor, so there you go.

I have to download big files from Rapidshare so I bought a premium account for 3 days so I don’t have to wait for 15 minutes anymore before my next download. And guess what! It’s limited to 2.66 GB downloads per day, unless you want to pay more to increase your limit. Haha! I had to laugh! Alang kwenta!

My niece and nephews both wear eyeglasses, yes at an early age. They’re both preemie babies and the doctor said that the eyesight is the last of the five senses to develop in a child. And you know kids, they are so very active that both of them already broke at least a couple of frames each. And it’s really expensive because aside from the replacing the broken frames, their grades change frequently so we have to change those too. What we do is we keep the old lenses in case their grades changed to something that is the same as before but this becomes useless if they broke the frame and we couldn’t find the same one again then we have to get new lenses too.

How I wish we have ZenniOptical here in our country so I could buy my niece and nephew at least one for each of them. They sell quality eyeglasses with a very cheap price. Imagine that you could get a set for only $8 and you could choose from their huge selection on their catalog. Seems unbelievable isn’t it? Fortunately it is true! It was even mentioned in an article from the Chicago Tribune entitled “Price ranges for glasses prove real eye-opener.” And they have really fun frames in their selection, I’m pretty sure the kids are going to love those.

Anyway, it was really funny because my nephew broke his frame and his mom replaced it with his ate’s  spare pink frame. When you ask him why his glasses are pink, he would say it’s because ate Aiza and ate Joanne (their nannies) broke his eyeglasses. Haha!
