Whew, Feb is a bankrupt month fer me. Birthdays, Valentine's, Birthdays.Why must so many of ppl i know be born in Feb? Agh! It's a crazy rush until I forget to mail cards, or mail them two since i dun know if i already did mail them. Prezzies, cakes, flowers, chocs, the bloody consumer market makes it's cash in Feb thru me! SAG awards kinda bored me. Wenty didn't come. Forrest Whittaker shldhave a speech ready by the OSCARS since it looks pretty obvious he is gonna win. I have seen him speechless twice. Golden Globes and SAG.Man, prepare a bloody speech! Well excuse me now while I go form some plan oh how to get money fast. Did u say bank robbery? Forget it, I dun noe how to break out of prison. I only watch it. HAHAH. ok lame.
I am so tired. My right eye feels dry...Like it wants to roll outta my socket. I have this stack of books waiting to be read, stuff to bephotocopied and things to be done with a few ppl. Agh...time...I need it and I need it bad. I love this video. It's candyliciously sweet! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpmMb6zfmoAOh, eyes shutting. Need to sleep....Zzzzzz
ah, the Golden Globes. watched it live. Wentworth didn't attend but hey Brad sure had something hot draped on his shoulder....oh wait..that was Angelina. heh heh. Ooo and Meryl Streep won for 'The DevilWears Prada'. Next awards to catch: Oscars!! February 25th (26th for us) Why? Coz Ellen's hosting! Can't wait.
So, I told myself no internet the next three days till I get the readingdone. But as I was casually browsing the net, I came across the video called 'Aileen- Life and Death of a Serial Killer'. I saw it was 90 minsand knew i couldn't waste such time watching so I thought 3 mins wasall I'd catch. But this is one video that'll disallow you to just watch a bit or even half. So I watched the full thing and afterwhich felt that I had to blog about it. If you're still unsure about which Aileen I am referring to, it's Aileen Wuornos. Remember the serial killer? She was portrayed by Charlize Theron in the hit film, Monster. Now I haven't watched Monster yet coz I think it's banned here. Anyway back to the documentary, by the time it was over, I found myself sympathising with Aileen. Sure she killed those fellas and all but I think it has got somethingto do with her past...I mean nobody in their absolute sound mind wouldhave committed those murders. ...And to watch Aileen speak aboutthem, the hidden fear she harboured abt her execution which she kept hidden frm everyone and basically to know that Aileen Wuornos, had nobody in this world she could trust, was just so painful. I am siding with a killerand I am not ashamed of it. All she ever needed in her life was someone to give her a hug and tell her that she should chase her dreams. Not lable her. The woman was labelled at 13 for having a child! I sat through the documentary feeling sure that Jeb Bush used Aileen'scase to his full advantage. His election was coming up and what better way to secure a seat than to sign the execution slip and kill the numberone public enemy? Win the public over. It's disgusting. Aileen obviouslyhad issues. Issues that dealt with her emotional state. The way they wrote her off absolutely pathetic. She probably 'confessed' just to get out of the shit 12 yr- death row they put her on. I mean this was a personsayng it was self-defence all along and finally she gives in and tells them what they WANT to hear. It's pathetic. Yes she did the crime and should do the time but I am still very much against execution regardless of which manner it is carried out in. Aileen's was lethal injection. It is, wrong to kill someone. When a person kills someone, you DO NOTpunish him by killing him...It doesn't make any bloody sense.It just doesn't. You say it's wrong and yet you allow it in the name of the law.

A lookback at my 2006. How was urs?
Best Decision:
Being present for all my examination papers.
Worst Decision:
Cutting my hair (July). Cutting it again (Dec)
Happiest:
When I found Prison Break episodes of Season 2 on the Net.
Unhappiest:
Realising how much I can feel when a person leaves.
Proudest:
When I stood up against someone who dissed the people I love.
Weakest:
When i remained silent to hide my pain.
What I would change of last year:
My sleeping habits and my reading schedule.
My most memorable:
The birthdays of my loved ones.
What I'll Treasure:
Those moments my mom and I spent just talking.
Well I've done my 2006....It wasn't exactly a big year for me...It had
disappointments and all. But it was not entirely bad. I had good moments too. Fer this year, well i dun have big plans and all but
I sure would like a smooth year.
My palms are sweaty. I have sat silently in this chair for the last 25 minutes. Contemplating if I should hit the play button. Hands are cold. Heart is racing. I have watched numerous products of such nature but this is the first time I can't bring myself to watch the actual thing. I have never felt this scared. Is it fear? Or is it the morals and values that are etched within me, that put a barrier around me to protect me against such brutality? What am i talking about? The video clip of Saddam's hanging. With the final moments and all inside. Once they start reciting the prayers, i just keep hitting PAUSE. I just can't go further coz I know what happens next. The reality of it seams surreal and too painful to imagine. I can't do it. . I wanna watch it but I just can't. At least not now.
Happeyyee Newww Yearrr.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
2007. Finally. New year, new day, new beginning (although
technically it's the second day already).
That's right. New beginning. Must start everything afresh.
Hence a new look for The Blog. Changes are also under
consideration for my unhealthy lifestyle. Resolutions? Well
sure if u wanna call them that...But to me I hate the word
resolutions coz I never keep them. I rather call them
'Changes'. Heheh
I am so hooked onto Prison Break. Mom and I have caught up
with Season 2 and are currently onto episode 11. Thank
goodness for the net. Or else I'd be still stuck with the
extremely slow paced screnning of the program here.
Anyway, must get back to making more changes. Toodles.
Enjoy the new year...or what's left of it.
p.s Yeah I couldn't resist a Wentworth Miller themed
template. Me and every other girl who watches Prison Break
eh?
