Oh my Lovely piece of Me, where are you?
To use a simpler word: i was BUSY. All...craziness of my situation, doubts, horrors, fear, and...and sheer sweetness out of all of it (Allah is always Fair), seems to clutter my mind so much and take up alot of my time, that there's no such thing as a 'free' time for me.
What has happened in my life? I bought Twilight. I repeat: I bought THE novel: Twilight. First, i was FORCED to read Harry Potter (and ended up a fan). And my Sidekick recommends me to read Twilight, which till then i only know is a vampire story. And since i was a little girl, i didn't quite fancy vampires. More accurately, vampire movies. Since then, I always seem to think that vampires have sex with their victims. Thus, it throws me off. Not that i'm disgusted by THAT natural human instinct. It's just that i just....didn't like the blood-sucking that comes after. Um, why the hell not before????? Oh i see...even vampires have THAT instinct of pleasure...
Anywayyyyyy.....I finished reading the whole world of Harry Potter thanks to my Sidekick's enthusiasm. And just about last month, i had the urge to buy a book. Some reading material. Note: i plan to buy the whole set of HP books. Coz i don't like the idea of just borrowing it.
I went to SACC, and clearly and surely sauntered (err, pardon my choice of words today) to MPH, to FIND a book, browse through all the possible shelves which could hold my interest. But no. My presence there was just a few feet from the entrance and the counter, never reaching anywhere else.
They had a section just to my left as i entered the shop. All TWILIGHT series, black, thick, enticing...calling to me...my subconscious probably telling me...no, not probably, it REALLY told me...to touch it.
So i did. Actually, other than my Sidekick, i have always heard so much about this TWILIGHT phenomenon. Especially, this Robert Pattinson guy who everyone seemed to gush over. Frankly, i only see a normal white guy who is not that beautiful enough for my liking. Well, he does look nice, but...
Ok, so i glanced at it. Determine which one is the first book. Then a voice tells me i will buy it. This is what i'm reading. This is the time.
Paid for it and went off.
I didn't touch it the first night i put it in my room. Mostly because i couldn't believe i actually BOUGHT it myself instead of just borrowing it from my Sidekick just to please her. And also because i was anxious about next day's work.
So i finally start to open the first pages, on the weekend. And there....i was....lost in it...
I spent Sunday reading....
And i finished it in 5 days. (I got a life, you see, i had other things to do.) That was a record for me after age 10 (back when i had series upon series of books to follow).
And my Sidekick was so so so happy. She let me borrow New Moon next (i didn't ask, i wanted to buy). And New Moon is finishing, now (though not that fast...i was preoccupied with work life).
What happened at work? So much. But also alot of miracles which makes me ever so grateful to my ALLAH.
Oh...and one small little thing...my heart is touched. Well...i do need some entertainment once in a while...
