Don’t you want to know how you are?
I already know… And it has nothing to do with what you can see happening in my body, it’s what’s happening in my soul.

So why do you still hope?
Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.

Entertainment 101: Brisingr, Little Fockers…
For your information…

- The third book from the Inheritance Trilogy Cycle by Christopher Paolini has already been finished. Brisingr, which means “fire” in the fictional Ancient Language of Alagaesia, was released last September 20. Instead of being a trilogy, the series will now have four books.
- Scarlett Johansson, who is one of the sexiest women alive according to several men’s magazines, has just married her boyfriend of 2 years, Ryan Reynolds, last September 27 in a quiet ceremony in Canada.
- Following the comedic story of Greg and Pam on Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers, the couple will once again return for its third sequel, Little Fockers. All original cast will be returning and Raven-Symone, from Disney’s That’s So Raven, will also join them as babysitter Tamara.

Oh, and by the way, nothing as interesting as the news above but hey, today is my anniversary at work! I had been living in Hong Kong for a year now. Cheers! 
Amanda Seyfried is Savannah Lynn Curtis
Savannah has been casted at last. Earlier this year, I learned that one of Nicholas Sparks’ books will have a film adaptation expected to release by 2009.
Dear John is a story of John Tyree, an army officer who made himself a social outcast until he met Savannah Lynn Curtis. It’s a tearjerker that tells how far one will go for love and doing the right thing in the name of it. I personally consider this book as my number 1 from Sparks. I read it three times and every single time, it made me cry. I just love this book.
John’s character will be played by Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried, the girl from Mamma Mia, was recently casted as Savannah. I am so excited. I really look forward for this movie. I really hope they will give justice to the emotions brought about by this book.
The story of the pencil
That depends on how you look at things. It (the pencil) has five qualities which, if you manage to hang on to them, will make you a person who is always at peace with the world.
First Quality: You are capable of great things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will.
Second Quality: Now and then, I have to stop writing and use a sharpener. That makes the pencil suffer a little but afterwards, he’s much sharper. So you, too, must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they will make you a better person.
Third Quality: The pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did is not necessarily a bad thing; it helps to keep us on the road to justice.
Fourth Quality: What really matters in a pencil is not its wooden exterior, but the graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.
Finally: The pencil’s Fifth Quality, it always leaves a mark. In just the same way, you should know that in everything you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be conscious of that in your action.
