geez im so bored!

ok, so i've been neglecting my blog. not that anything really interesting/worth-blogging-about has been happening. the only reason i'm typing this is cos, well, the title of the post says it all. to sum it all up, i had an awesome christmas/new year break. spending my favourite time of the year with the people i love & cherish the most... seriously, everything else just disappears during those moments :)

and oh, happy new year. yeah yeah, i'm two weeks late. i started mine with a bad flu, and bad cough. not forgetting the gastric pains and sore throat. ugh. hope everyone else had a better start to the new year.

managed to catch up on some films. Avatar, as you've all heard (and surely witnessed), was awesome. though i am kind of bummed that it's bumped Lord of The Rings: The Return of the King down to 3rd place on the highest grossing films of all time. don't ask me why i know that. lol.

another film i really liked was Moon. i don't think it saw release in malaysia, so uh.. shhh. lol. speaking of sci-fi space films, has anyone seen 2001: a space odyssey and understood it? cos i watched it way back and i really enjoyed it... up until the last part, which just made me confused as hell. or maybe i'm just not intellectual enough to get it. heh.

i watched Inglourious Basterds yesterday. i found it funny as hell. was it supposed to be? lol. i couldnt figure out of it was supposed to be a comedy or a drama. i was bummed that michael fassbender had such a short role. i mean, geez, he was the best looking thing in there.

The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus was pretty cool. it's weird and funny, but probably not for everyone. and i liked princess and the frog! looking forward to Rapunzel :)

moving on to other things, this couple came into the boutique today looking for a wedding gown. seriously, they looked so young. or maybe it's just good genes. hmm. i don't understand how people can get married at such a young age. maybe it's just that i've never been in a relationship long enough to consider being married? lol. it kinda got me thinking though. like, holyshit, what if my friends are all married with kids and i'm the only one without even a boyfriend? i dont wanna be the nice single auntie who treats her friends' kids to ice cream and pizza just cos she doesnt have kids of her own (or, for that matter, the weird cat lady who little kids are afraid to visit cos she's just so weird and cranky all the time). lol.

on a more serious matter, the church arsons. yes i know everyone's ranting about it. but seriously, what is going on in our country. taking matters into one's own hands. what the hell is this supposed to be, vigilante heroics? uh, i think not. it's disgraceful. like a friend said, how does one expect others to respect one's religion when you're pulling of disrespectful stunts towards other religions? please.

i've personally never been one for religion. i don't judge anyone who chooses to be part of any religion. therefore i hope no one judges me for my decision to not commit to any. but i have experienced first-hand religious fanaticism and it really hurt, especially considering who this person is. it still hurts. it made me realise that sometimes when you get too far in, it clouds judgements, it becomes an excuse for flaws and apparently pardons you for whatever sins you've committed. (and then there are the weird ones who go "oh i prayed to God for a miracle last night, and look! i've got bigger breasts!" this is a true story btw). lol. but you know, it's really not difficult to be a good person, religious person or not.
