Solitude

I accompanied a friend of mine get her iphone accessories from a store she had it reserved. I thought it was the only thing in our agenda for that day but it turned out she had hundreds of things to finish and she wanted me to be with her as she finished one task after another.

I was enjoying it the first three hours. After that, I started getting annoyed. Had I known I would just become a personal assistant for the day, I would have declined to accompany her or I would have negotiated a good deal. We ended everything by midnight, after close to 14 hours! It was a really tiring day. I had a massive headache by the time I hit the sack.

I think when the character Edward Cullen surfaced, a lot of guys became insecure. I mean, where do we start with the list of all good Edward is? Edward is a gentleman. The only one left of his kind. He is one of the good guys, albeit a dangerous one when protecting his love. Edward is also a paragon of virtue! He is beautifully handsome, extraordinarily strong, and devastatingly sexy! Can a woman ask for anything more?

Admittedly, he is a fictitious character. Born out of Stephenie Meyer‘s mind. Still, women, including me, fell madly in love with the character! More so when the Twilight Saga books were turned into movies!

And then there came Robert Pattinson. I don’t think any other man could have given life to our beloved Edward Cullen. He is as devastatingly handsome and sexy as the character we fell in love with! The eyes, the hair, the smile, the brooding looks… everything is just so perfect. We now have someone to ogle while thinking of Edward.

I think men became even more insecure when Rob was introduced. Too bad for them. We really love our Rob Pattinson aka Edward Cullen!

What are your favorite book, tv, and/or movie love stories?

I have so many favorite love stories. For books, my favorite is Paradise by Judith McNaught. It is one of the best love stories I’ve read. The same goes for The Prodigal Daughter by Jeffrey Archer. These stories are about true love and how even though it is imperfect but because it is real, nothing can stop it from bringing two people together.

As for movies, the best one for me is still My Best Friend’s Wedding. I know the movie did not end happily for Julia Roberts. Still it showed that true love meant letting go of the person if it’s not meant to be and being happy for him.

Don’t you just love it if you can get away even for a day or two with your special someone? It will give you the R&R you need to recharge your mind and body for grueling days ahead.

And the perfect getaway destination is the beach!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

The wedding accessories almost got lost in transit! That’s what Diane was telling her maid of honor. She asked another friend to get her the accessories and bring it with her three days before the wedding. Her friend was able to get the accessories but for some reason forgot about it on the bus! Thank goodness there are still good samaritans out there.

The wedding accessories were returned to Diane because of the address on the voucher attached to the bag containing it. If it weren’t for that, the accessories would have been lost.

Looking good and slim is so hard to do! You can starve yourself all you want but if it’s in your genes, it’s just so hard to maintain a slim figure. I should know! My aunt who was known for being the skinny one in my dad’s family has finally become a member of the family! She is now overweight just like the rest of dad’s siblings. And to think that she’s more figure-conscious than the rest.

A friend of hers suggested phentermine to her and she’s asking me about it. I will have to make some more research about it and then I will report it back to her.

She absolutely needs to lose weight these days.

Do you like my blog’s new look? I have been deciding for weeks on what this blog’s new look would be. Thank goodness for a blogger-friend who helped me get a new WordPress theme for Solitude.

Lately, it’s been hard to find a WordPress theme that I like and has not much links at the footer. So when I learned that my blogger-friend is offering a simple template that I can use with the background of my choice, I grabbed the opportunity. And here’s the result!

Do you like it? Tell me what you think.
