Reckless and stupid affair

Looking back on it, she couldn't believe that she had been so naive...and so desperate to prove her womanhood and independence. It was the only relationship in her life that qualified as a "fling,"
the only time she had ever been swept away. For that man, for no other man before or since, for that man alone, she had put aside her morals and principles and commonsense, heeding only the urgent desires. She had told herself that it was Romance with a capital R, not just love but the Big Love. Actually she had just been weak, vulnerable, and eager to make a fool of herself. Later, when she realized Mr. Wonderful had lied to her and just used her with cold, and cynical disregard for her feelings, when she discovered that she had just given herself to a man who was utterly without respect for her and who lacked even a minimal sense of responsibility for what he had done, so she had been deeply ashamed. Eventually, she realized there was a point at which shame and remorse became self-indulgent and nearly as lamentable as the sin that had occasioned those emotions, so she put the shabby episode behind her and vowed to forget it. She accepted that it was such a foolish and such regrettable decision she had ever made...and adults could sometimes be just as dumb and confused as little kids. It made her want to cry by such foolishness...she just made a complete fool of herself.

Murphy's Law

Are you also familiar with what we call, Murphy's Law? That If anything can go wrong, it will... and this axiom or statement is generally accepted true. Well, the best thing to avoid this is to find a way to circumvent it or simply avoid it. But sometimes things do happen, and if it does, the best way is to find the best solution and face it head on.

Lazying just right after Christmas...

Yup, am sleeping away my post-Christmas exhaustion just by reading and reading in bed until I get tired and put my weary mind to slumber. I just can't find time to think about what to blog. My mind is not working I guess. Yesterday I went out just to buy another book on sale. But to my dismay I didn't find any Sidney Sheldon book on the shelves. I just had one Leigh Nichols' TWILIGHT. FYI, he is Dean Koontz so I just grabbed it for posterity reason. I have had the latest TWILIGHT in my book collection but I still grabbed it when I saw it since it was a rare edition when finally LN decided to use DK instead. And yesterday, I had these CRADLE AND ALL by James Patterson, and Anne Rivers Siddons' UP ISLAND. This Siddons is my very 1st...and I just can't wait til I get hold the book and get started reading it. But right now, am still enjoying the best part of SS's THE SKY IS FALLING. I only stretch up away from bed when I feel my neck hurting from being a log the whole day. Opening my yahoo emails from time to time and answering some mails promptly and like this...updating my blogsite a little...just for the heck of doing so, for the meantime. My mind is in a sleep-mode...I am so engrossed readiiiiiing. Please forgive me just for now.

Celebrate!

Merry Christmas to all.... :)

Roman festal mood and merrymaking...

In a few hours...come Christmas Day. Whoah! A time to get love...and to give in return...and to share. The spirit of Christmas seems to hone everyone...and everybody is frantically anticipating the day when our Savior was born...when Jesus gave life to our every hopes. A lot of reason to celebrate..families get together to spend the holidays.

to be continued...while am multi-tasking...fussing with my pans and kettle...and everything

A mother's lament...

We're at the mall for some last minute Christmas rush...wheew! I would always feel that heady feeling. I just couldn't take that whirling crowd panorama. It always give me that lightheaded and nauseating feeling. Well, I came across with someone who gave me a brief smile, and I threw this...do I know you and have we met before facial expression. She went in front of me and still I couldn't place who she was. After some exchange of pleasantries, I remember her...the mother of my dau's schoolmate. I felt for her gloom as a mother who have had lost a son. Wow, I felt so guilty that with a very little concerns, I felt like I was sitting on needles. The fast few days I became edgy and very sensitive. I must admit that compared to her agony of losing a beloved child, who's at the prime of his career...with so much dreams left...mine was very simple and petty. While she had lost a son. After that long tete-a-tete, and getting her number, I just couldn't help but gave her a light hug. I pray that God will always give her the courage and strength to be able to go on.
