P&P Fever

Elizabeth: I couldn't sleep.
Mr. Darcy: Nor I. My aunt...
Elizabeth: Yes, she was here.
Mr. Darcy: How can I ever make amends for such behavior?
Elizabeth: After what you've done for Lydia and, for
Jane, I suspect,it is I who should be making amends.
Mr. Darcy: You must know. Surely you must know it was all
for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. You spoke
with my aunt last night and it has taught me to hope as I'd
scarcely allowed myself before.If your feelings are still
what they were last April, tell me so at once.My affections
and wishes have not changed. But one word from you will
silence me forever. If, however,your feelings have
changed...

...I would have to tell you, you have bewitched me, body
and soul, and I love...I love... I love you.
I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
Elizabeth: Well, then.

Anyway, Kriselle recommended a good book that's similar to this. I read
some reviews about "Pride, Prejudice and Jasmin Field" and it's like the
21st century version of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice". Hmm.

Bored

Because I'm extremely, exceedingly bored, I'm going to make more posts to eat up my time. Aside from eating ice cream, watching tv, surfing the net and thinking of Mr. Darcy, I also spend time reading purposeful books. I'm trying to finish reading "Shakespeare: Four Great Comedies" which a classmate lent me last June. See, it spent almost 10 months of its life in my shelf and I haven't read a single play in it until early April. I just finished reading A Midsummer Night's Dream and currently reading Twelfth Night (See, I'm doing something sensible!). You might ask me what got me interested in reading his plays. I just finished a Shakespeare Murder Mystery Game which is really cool. It has creepy sounds, 3D pictures and a very high difficulty level. I recommend it to bored people who wants a little entertainment.

I might also read my sister's book about World History to prepare for History classes this June. I love history. I love it because you don't need to memorize facts (except for dates and names) to learn it. Studying history is like reading your favorite storybooks. They have plots and settings and endings that may be happy like a fairytale or sad like a tragic drama.

Feel free to give your suggestions to make my summer less boring. But remember that they must not involve creepy, crawly things (e.g. snakes, worms) or plants. I hate plants that's why I hate our second quarter in Biology. Why do we have study that confusing light and dark reactions of photosynthesis? Or that Kreb's cycle? Grr.

Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy

I watched "Pride and Prejudice" on HBO last Sunday with my sisters.

Last year, when it was showing on theaters, my friend and I planned to watch it on the big screen. Unfortunately, she got sick so it was canceled.

Anyway, the movie was so good. And very romantic.*starry eyes*. The movie left me a great impact. Now I'm stuck with Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen) in my dreams. He's Keira Knightley's leading man. Mr. Darcy was really snobbish in the first part which made me so mad. Sparknotes describe him as intelligent and forthright, has a tendency to judge too hastily and harshly, and his high birth and wealth make him overly proud and overly conscious of his social status. Grr. It makes him so unlike Mr. Bingley. He's friendly and warm. But I think silent but powerful people are better.Hehe.

I'm planning to buy the book sometime. It's more romantic if you're reading it right? Besides, I find British accent difficult to understand.

Joyce's Birthday

This post is for Joyce and about Joyce. She kept on telling me to update my blog because I haven't posted on it since March 21.

The start of vacation was so boring and it's like time passes so slow. The only thing I was looking forward to was Joyce's birthday.

The night before, probably because of excitement, I dreamed that I left Joyce's gift so I had to get back at home and get it. Anyway, we (me, Gizelle, Tatum, Joyce, Effie, Monique, Miguel) met at the mall before 12. Sadly, Caluya wanted to go with us. Now we have to wait for him. He didn't arrive before 12 and we were starving. We went to Pizza Hut and told him to just catch up.

Fortunately for Caluya, he arrived before we started eating. After eating and talking and teasing, the waitresses and the chef approached us and sang a "Happy birthday" for Joyce. She was given a chocolate muffin and lollipops afterwards. She also won chocolate eggs because of Pizza Hut's Easter prizes. Joyce opened her presents after. She also read Tatum's touching dedication (on the gift) and Caluya's heartwarming birthday card.

We watched a movie afterwards. Joyce jokingly insisted on watching "Ang Cute ng Ina Mo" but we watched "The Reaping" instead.

They got thirsty after the movie which made me feel thirsty too. After strolling around the 3rd floor, we finally found something to drink. Joyce bought us iced coffee. You'll like it if you were thirsty. It tastes bitter and it's not cold!

We dropped by Powerbooks because Monique had to buy her sister a book. Unfortunately, she didn't find the book so we decided to go home instead. We stopped by on some stores on the way to the mall's exit. Tatum and I got ourselves earrings.

So that was the day I looked forward to. The rest of the days will be boring again and schooldays are more than a month away.
