Good Romance
*warning: screechy fan-girl-ish kind of craziness up ahead*
*And won't happen anytime again soon, so let me be! XD*

I have just finished reading Pride and Prejudice, making it the **th book on my booklist this year. *gushes* It was really nice, worth all the time spent in often confusing discourse and ambiguous references to people. Sure, not all parts were equally interesting, but they were interspersed enough with nice parts, and by Volume III, things were pretty fast paced, or at least much more interesting. And the lead characters were really amusing, kind of cute even, especially when they argue. The book was able to get several laughs from me. *sigh* And Mr. Darcy says the most romantic things. Especially around the end.Hehehe... Bet you didn't expect me to say such a thing. (Note: this is told with respect to the book, not the movie. I don't even know if the big screen version will do the book sufficient justice.) Anyway, moving on... I must admit I'm not really fond of certain romance dialogue, cause often these lines are too cheesy or too affected, I just have to wince. (My friends are all too aware of this... I can already imagine them shaking their heads.) But for some strange reason, I really liked P&P anyway. And Mr. Darcy is so laconic, I'm amazed at how the author was able to work that out, and even make his lines super effective to the purpose of the book. ;) (But then again, maybe I was just too happy with the book. Oh well... If such is the case, at least I enjoyed it.)

This is actually the second time I've read the book, and now that I think about it, the other time I read it was around this time as well, 2nd year high school, November. Hmmm... galing. Anyway, i was able to discover a lot of things in this second reading, as is often the case with such things. Well, to sum it up, I'm really enjoyed the book. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that i bought the P&P DVD. I hope it'll be nice. Cause if not, well, it might affect the niceness of the book, although probably not. A book, if nice enough can survive such a thing, i guess. (I must admit that Harry Potter didn't exactly escape the slaughter of an ugly movie for me. But since it apparently suffered more good than bad for other people, then good for it. )

Hmm... I'm beginning to see that my writing is really easily affected by the things I read. My writing is SLIGHTLY reminiscent of Austen's writing style right now, which can't make it any easier for the people who are reading this entry to understand what I'm blabbering about. But at least I didn't get it to the full extent. And it'll pass, as soon as I get hold of a new book. Besides, I'm really trying to limit it, cause for one thing, I don't really talk like how she writes. Hehehe... Kawawa naman ang lahat, pati ako, kung ganon.

And I was able to get Ivan's CDs! Hehee... Salamat! Fruits Basket! Fruits Basket! Fruits Basket!

And to Cara: Waahh!! *hug* You don't reply when I e-mail you! T_T

And I heard a funny song from the Itchy Worms, Hehehe...
