What could be more dangerous than a pedophile posing as a friend, prowling the internet for unsuspecting victims?
Err... the answer would be me. Ok, maybe not dangerous in a mental/sexual-I-need-to-stalk kids manner, but more in a I need to stalk all online shops for the budding fashion trends to come.
In the past 1 month, in my futile attempts to zzz earlier, I've logged on and bought:
1. iPod Nano 2. Bags
Or if I'm not doing that, I'm cybershopping for ideas and items to buy when I actually go shopping.
Now it's onto holidays. I somehow managed to con my cous (hahah sorry cous) to go with me to Sentosa for a spa retreat.
And of cos, holidays lead to swimsuits.
Swimsuits lead to ... oh I need a new towel.
Towel leads to ... oh Taka,towels are next to L'Occitane, I so want need the verde perfume...
You see where that train of buying thought goes to?
It's been a really depressing few months. Everytime when u listen in to radio, watch the news, read the news,... it's been nothing but bad things to come. Key words: recession, bailouts, financial crisis, worst since the great depression, dow down...
If it isn't about the financial crisis these days, it's about the US election. Which to be honest, seems like a no brainer to me who should win.
Just a random snapshot of the news today:
It's kinda sad, but the only kind of breaking news are the bad ones. I'm sure that it just aggravates the situation, making people worry and that just makes everything worse.
Don't people want to read happy things anymore? Makes me all a bit worried about the future. With the tsunami of a recession that is about to hit our little bubble island, employment, money, it's all a bit too worrying.
I just got in my mailbox today my Amazon order - 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels. She is incredibly no nonsense... and her workout looks seriously tough. Can't wait to get started. She is practical about exercise, like in the video, she goes "you want abs like these, they don't come for free".
Am Freitag bin ich ins Kino gehen. Das Film? Mama Mia. Ich habe soooooo viel gute Erinnerungen ueber die Lieder. Ahhhhhhhhh Und Super Trouper? Das war die liebeste Lied von meinem Cousin, als er 4 oder 5 Jahre alt war. Denn habe ich mit meine Grossvater und Grossmutter gelebt. Es gab ein ganz Garten. Und als wir Kindern waren, in der Nacht, haben wir die Licht ausgemacht, und Super Troupe so laut spielen. Das Wohnzimmer war ein Disko. Wir haben Fackeln mitgenommen, und haben im Wohnzimmer getanzt und gesingt.
Naturlich, nach dem Film habe ich am Youtube ABBA's Lieder gesucht. Und heir gibt es ein Lied, das im Saarbruecken ausgefuhuert wird!
Sometimes I think people in a relationship are in such a bliss. Having someone who cares for you and someone you can care for, build a life with, share your sorrows, joy and excitement. Although my relationships haven't been the greatest, but when its good, it etches so deeply in your memory that in moments when you are single, it comes gushing back to the surface, hitting you so hard that you wish you had someone.
Of cos this is just me in my momentary "I need a relationship" state, which will shortly be repaired once I have enough sleep, and other reasons and things to keep me suitably occupied. And of cos, it doesn't help that I am listening to soppy songs that tell of heartbreaks that sort of hits home.
Maybe all experience, like most ideas, that we go through aren't original. Otherwise, how can we empathise, and recognise all signs of heartache or happiness when we hear others narrate their stories? As much as we think we are individuals on this tiny planet, maybe we're not. Perhaps we're not as different to the ants and bees we see.
Reason Why Artist: Rachael Yamagata
I think about how it might have been We'd spend out days travelin' It's not that I don't understand you It's not that I don't want to be with you But you only wanted me The way you wanted me
So, I will head out alone, hope for the best And we hang our heads down As we skip the goodbyes And you can tell the world what you want them to hear I've got nothing left to lose, my dear So, I'm up for the little white lies But you and I know the reason why I'm gone, and you're still there I'm gone, and you're still there I'm gone, and you're still there
I'll buy a magazine searching for your face From coast to coast, or where ever I find my place I'll track you on the radio, and I'll sign your list in a different name But as close as I get to you It's not the same
So, I will head out alone, hope for the best We can pat ourselves on the back As say that we tried And if one of us makes it big We can spill our regrets And talk about how the love never dies But you and I know the reason why I'm gone, you're still there I'm gone, you're still there I'm gone, and you're still there
So, steal the show, and do your best To cover the tracks that I have left I wish you well and hope you find Whatever you're looking for The way I might've changed my mind, But you only showed me the door
So, I will head out alone, hope for the best We can pat ourselves on the back And say that we tried And if one of us makes it big We can spill our regrets And talk about how the love never dies But you and I, you and I, you and I know the reason why.

Ahh nothing like listening to this song while walking on your own all bundled up in jackets and with gloves, while the cold wind blows against your cheeks.
