What started this huge phenomenon?
What made it spread so fast?
Why is it so addictive?
What makes it alright to post your thoughts on the World Wide Web?
I am referring to blogging. I personally started blogging 3 years ago when I was struggling through teenagehood and jumping for joy at the freedom of being able to wear home clothes to school. For whatever reason, I stopped and currently, I am back on it.
Compare the blogging scene of now to the one of 3 years ago, I have to admit that it has grown significantly. Why? Why are so many people broadcasting their thoughts and feelings on the World Wide Web? Why are so many people reading those thoughts diligently like pages of a good novel? What makes blogging so popular?
Frankly, I have no idea the reason behind the wonder of blogging. But I blog because I love seeing my life on a piece of virtual diary and also the thought of having someone from the other side of the world read them excites me. Call me narcissistic or whatever but I seriously don't care. If I don't love myself, who will? And I read other blogs because it's like an adventure for me. A blog is like a virtual diary so reading blogs makes me feel like I have managed to crack the secret code of that diary. Quite evil, isn't it? I know but seriously, that's how I feel.

A mighty,mighty good man..gone!
After a hard day of work, I was saddened by this news.
It was simply "tragic"...by my standards.
Absolutely unbelievable.
Doctor Fazley, or simply known as Fazley, that good-looking, cleverer than Einstein Malaysian musician...is married!! I was devastated. It was not the way to end my Monday! No way! I should be the one in the picture below!

I felt worse upon seeing the picture below...
That should be my forehead he's kissing!! Oh no!! Sighs...there goes another good man. When almost all the good men are taken, what about the rest of us? WHAT ABOUT ME???
Excuse me, people, while I sit and wail..in my wedding dress.

Another rejection brings me closer
Today, the rejection did not hurt that much.
ALLAH knows how long I had to wait. Frankly, I was appalled by the number of people when I opened the huge glass door of the posh hotel this morning. But I stayed.
ALLAH too knows how thankful I was when my name was announced. I was extremely proud being the only other girl chosen.
But unfortunately, it ended right there.
But I am thankful and feel blessed, nonetheless.
I guess the rejection today acts as a wake-up call for me to put in 10 times more effort in realising my childhood dream. Yes, it's true that I have accomplished quite a great deal at this point and am almost halfway in order to meet the criterias (Pat on the back for Lizzie.) But I will not get too complacent and be contented with it...yet.
I will be realistic, of course. But I know that I have more to offer myself.
Today's rejection did not dampen my spirits. Instead, it only intensifies my desire to succeed. Insya ALLAH. I definitely have to work 100 times harder than the others but when I finally achieve it, I can truly rejoice for I shall not resort to anything bad. It was pure determination.
In the words of the late Aaliyah,

Dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again"

Another great read
I simply love stories about..love.
The heartbreak, the textbook endings, the transformation of the ugly duckling to a beautiful swan, the charming prince who will sweep her off her feet. Every single bit of a love story appeals to me. Yes, some may say that it is all very typical and very predictable. Well, I love it still.
But this love story is different. A different kind of love. A love very unpractical, unpredictable and simply out of this world. It still is a page-turner, nonetheless. I loved every single chapter.
Once you are able to decipher the mysterious identity of the main character, it does get you thinking if the relationship is possible. But sometimes, you just got to keep an open mind. It may be possible, it may not. But who cares. I don't.
It is able to leave that mark on me. It's like the bitter taste after drinking a strong cup of coffee. It is hard to get rid of the taste till you put something else into your mouth. It does that to me.
Cecelia Ahern is an exceptionally fabulous author. She mixes typical scenarios with bizarre ones.
I have to admit that Cecelia Ahern is by far my favourite author..ever.
