Thought Of The Day: that's the funny thing about romance. if you had to ask for it, it takes away all the romance.

when i was seventeeeeeennnnnnn.....

very recently (about 6 hours ago)...i was told by my dad that i have another half brother. apparently (i use this term because i'm still in a state of shock) he was born on deepavali...prematurely i might add by about 4 weeks. oh...if u have no idea what i'm talking about here's a summary. my parents are separated...my dad has a girlfriend/mistress/concubine whatever you might wanna call it...and together with her he has 4 children...all of which are below the age of 7. who knows how many other children he has that we might not know about. i wouldn't be surprised if i'm 40 and this lady/man comes knocking on my door claiming to be my brother/sister. gosh...my dad is officially a man-whore (sorry dad...but i really think you are). you must be wondering how i can speak about this so openly and freely. well...i guess i've reached the point where i'm able to laugh about it.

i've manage to land myself an interview with 'seventeen' magazine. not exactly 'seventeen' but the company that publishes it. they also publish 'female'. it's not exactly the kinda magazine i wanna work for but beggars can't be choosers. i've got no experience and no qualifications to write so i can't be picky can i? anyway...i'm actually quite amazed that they shortlisted me so that by itself is an achievement. i'm hopeful and excited about the interview but i'm pretty sure i'm not going to get the job. i don't even know what position they're interviewing me for but whatever it is i believe that i probably won't fit the bill. oh well...interviews are fun anyway and i haven't been to one in about 2 years so it's about time i refresh my memory...see whether i still have it in me to bullshit my way through.

i was thinking of writing something thought-provoking but now i'm just stumped. how can i even consider being a writer if i'm going to be plagued with writers block most of the time?

matrix is coming out soon...i'm counting down the days. that was quick wasn't it. it felt like only yesterday that i was trying to digest the second installment and before i could dissect it and shortlist the many conclusions i have in my head...the final installment is due to be released in less than a week. i still have no idea what to believe...how will the movie end? i have a feeling it'll be an anti-climax...one of those movies which will make you stare blandly at the screen while the credits are rolling with your jaw falling halfway off your face and during that whole time the words 'what the fuck?' echoes in your mind. i had that moment with a lot of movies.... 'once upon a time in mexico' being the most recent one. although it might be a disappointment i'm definitely catching the movie the day it opens.

LOTR is also due to be released soon. i don't know whether knowing the ending is a plus or minus with this particular movie. i read the book so i basically know what's going to happen next. the movie obviously wouldn't be as exciting as it would be if i hadn't read the book but i don't know whether i could've contained myself for another year without knowing the ending. i am eager to check out the effects for the final installment though. it's going to be one exciting movie that's for sure.

i've decided to postpone getting a tattoo for a couple of weeks because of tuesdays interview and also because i have no idea what kinda design i want or where i'm going to get it. i have too many things on my mind right now and getting a tattoo is definitely not on the top of the list..it's nowhere near the top of the list actually. but i'll eventually get it done i suppose...always wanted one.

went fishing with a few friends yesterday. technically i didn't fish. i sat around making a whole lot of noise. if you go to nottifish.com you can see two very good looking guys with cards on their foreheads. they look silly ey? anyway...i devised that so called game if you can really call it a game. it was fun while it lasted until i was losing about 40 bucks...then i got really serious. eventually i managed to break even and run away with 5 bucks as well. thank god ben didn't take a picture of me with a card on my forehead. we might look really stupid but we were having fun.

anyway...here's your updates sui san.
