Who's That Girl ?..

I haven’t read a book again for some time now. The last book I read was the Vampire Academy series.

My next book project to read :

Who’s that Girl ?.. – Alexandra Potter
I haven’t started reading it yet. Maybe, after the holidays.

So for now, here’s the short excerpt from the book ..

“ If only you knew then what you know now ...

Imagine if you could go back ten years and meet your younger self – would you recognise her ? What advice would you give ?

* Wear sunscreen
* Back away from those PVC trousers
* Don’t give that idiot your phone number
* Lemon juice won't bleach your hair - it just attracts wasps
* He’s the One – don’t let him get away

For Charlotte Merryweather, there’s no need to imagine. She’s about to find out for real. With some surprising consequences ...

Alexandra Potter’s deliciously enchanting romantic comedy looks at life, love and what might happen if you could turn back time.”

This sounds interesting to me, the first time I saw this book I knew then that I really want to read this. The story of it was something close to reality when you’re in the point of your life thinking about “what if’s .. if only ..” but you can’t do anything about it.

I was once asked by someone if given a chance to turn back time, would I turn back to change, undo or improve what happened from the past ?.. I don’t know.. but come to think of it .. what if we could and meet our younger self ?.. What will we do ?..

the past ..

It's been eight months since we had a talk. I intentionally cut - off all the means of communication we had. I created a barrier between us. It's my way of helping myself , so that I could finally move on , without returning to him and accepting him over and over again. I know , I succeeded on that.

I'm now okay, I really am .. All the anger , sadness and bitterness has gone.

For the past eight months , I had a real good time with my family and friends , like going out with my siblings and my mother during weekend .. movie marathon with them and other things .. things I never did when we're together. I renewed friendships with old friends whom I thought I'll never be friends again .. I made new friends as well which is a good thing. I have now a larger circle of friends .. FRIENDS , when I thought I had no one before ..

Then , last week , he's adding me as friend on Facebook. Yesterday , I received an offline messages [YM] from him thru my phone. He just said hi and asking how am i doing. I never had a chance to reply on him because I'm not online during that time .. and if ever I was , I don't know if I could reply or maybe because I don't know what to say. It's funny because I am feeling a little coward when in fact it's not me who had a mistake and had hurt someone. Me and my friend made a joke about it , that he's just missing me because Christmas is coming in a few more days. I'd rather think that he's really sorry for what he'd done than to think that he's trying to use his charm to fool me again that's why he's checking on me. SILLY ME !!..

Anyway , one thing I am sure of myself right now. I don't want him near me again. I already forgave him but it doesn't mean that I would communicate with him again. Friendship with him is really out of the question between us.

supposedly .. :(

- I am supposedly on my flight to Zamboanga to attend my friend' wedding. I didn't book a flight because of the pending approval of my vacation leaves on my work. I thought it was hopeless , that they will not approve it because of the current situation in the office. Then all of a sudden , it was approved !.. but it's soooo TOO LATE !!..

I don't know how will I react on it. It's nice that I could rest and relax during my long weekend , but to think of my ruined planned trip to Zamboanga and Jolo ?.. grrrrrr ... IT SUCKS !!.. It's too late ! I couldn't make it anymore. I wish it's just nearby so I could go there .. but NO .. it's miles away from Manila. In addition to that , I already use my supposedly budget for my trip to other things because I thought I'll never be able to go there.

Now , I don't know how will I spend my long , long weekend other sleeping ..
