"She chastised herself for walking away from him when she should have hugged him, when she held grudges for days instead of forgiving him, when she went straight to sleep last night instead of making love to him. She wanted to take back every moment she knew he had been so angry with her........... nobody told her they were short on time."
Imagine how many simple things or gestures we take for granted.
I want to live by this!
I was deeply immersed in this book called 'P.S I love you' by Cecelia Ahern that I borrowed from Gwen. GWENNIEPOO YOU! YOU DIDNT TELL ME THAT I WAS GOING TO BE THAT SAD!
ok well actually I did have some inkling. Anyway the book is about a woman who lost her husband to a brain tumour, and how she recovered. What I really loved about this book was the reality of it. It depicted very accurately how it was like to lose a partner (well as far as I know anyway), but most of all, what struck me was how it never placed much emphasis on how it will all get better, how it should get better. It was just extremely real.
It's bittersweet, the journey that she went through. There are moments which make you laugh aloud as well as moments when tears roll down.
This book is highly recommended.
ok I was too lazy to really describe everything but just take my word for it and buy it.
Sigh.
School begins tomorrow. Well actually it began on Monday. So I should correct it and say school begins for me tomorrow. No more slacking. JEM IT'S YOUR HONOURS YEAR! YOU NEED THE CREDITS!
okok I know.
Anyway, lest you start rebuking me about skipping school for it's first 2 days, let me post my defence. I was under the impression, from a very reliable source, that school begins on the 5th. which is tomorrow. Why I should think that school should begin in the middle of a week is irrelevant. I found out the truth on Monday morning.
*ring ring*
me: *mumbles* hello.......
schoolmate: (shall not mention names here): JAMIE! THERE'S SCHOOL TODAY! NOT WEDNESDAY! ARE YOU GOING? IT'S ONLY 11!
me: GOODBYE!!
*jingle jingle* ( ok I dont know how to describe a message tone!)
Jo: Jem ah, you going to school tmr? (referring to tues-- today)
me: NO! THERE'S NO SCHOOL TMR!
ok. it wasnt exactly like that but you get the drift huh?
I had already planned what I was going to do for these 2 days before school starts and rearranging my shedule would be highly inconvenient.
It's a little sad maybe, considering how I used to love going to school. That feeling lasted till end of Sec school? Ok yes I hate working, I know I'm doing the better of the 2 evils. Ahh but I can still grumble just a while right?
Over.
P.S: JON! yes tmr 11am at sakae. Can you remind me to go to the nokia care centre please? I hope Cindy remembers.
