The pressure is on. Bring it.

Everybody says they hate Mondays. I say otherwise. For me, Monday is an extension of my weekend since my first class starts at 5:30 pm. Except for the unusual Mondays when our call time for Theatre class starts at 4 or 4:30. But it doesn’t matter. Nothing will ever change the reality that I love Mondays and I abhor Tuesdays and Thursdays.

So since it’s a Monday I want to tell you that I have just had a very prolific weekend. Prolific in the sense that I was able to carry out a lot of things for myself, not for school or for something else, solely for myself which makes me feel even more victorious. I went to school at Friday night with my friends since there was a street party outside our school. It was breathtaking. I can’t help but admire how great my school is. No other school could have pulled it off, I mean, close the streets just for a stupid merrymaking is undisputedly grandiose, more like ostentatious. So I ate, drank, smoked a few cigars and exchanged some stupid-but-informative conversations with my friends.

Good things come to an end so I came home past ten and woke up with a busy Saturday morning. I Had a meeting with our Journ teacher at Bob’s and I just got myself a whole load of crap. I’m sorry. I meant work, not crap. The rest of my Saturday was spent with my mom and my sister as we shopped till we dropped. I really had fun. In fact, so much fun that when I got home, I was too tired to function, and considering that I was once again attacked by the growing wisdom tooth. I went straight to my room, turned the AC on, and read my book. See, I’ve been reading this book, Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List. It’s a very excellent book. I mean, not that I read books which are not good. I will know if the book is good the moment I read the first sentence of the book. And the first line of this one sure caught my attention. It was, “I lie all the time.” Right after I read the first line, I kept on reading. But hell, the book is somewhat lengthy. I haven’t finished it yet, actually because I have been having some sleeping problems recently. Everytime I read the book, like for example, a couple of chapters, I feel sleepy all of a sudden like the book is some kind of a sleeping pill. Surreal. But no worries, I’m sure I am going to finish reading in no time. Just this morning, I typed the title of the book in my Google search bar. I was so pleased to find out that the book is going to be made into a movie starring my favorite, Hayden Panettiere. I adore her. She would be perfect for the part of Naomi. I would recommend this book to my friends since it’s not your standard romance tale. This one is a bizarre, convoluted but matter-of-fact kind of story. It is for typical adolescents like me.

In the middle of the whole weekend extravaganza, I managed to squeeze in watching a TV series which my dad sent me through mail. It’s Melrose Place. I know you have heard of the old Melrose Place. It was the one which aired from 1992-1997. But this is a new one- 2010. I really adored the cast especially the character of Ella Sims. Her occupation was a publicist, some kind of a PR person whom I call a spin doctor. She works with the biggest stars in Hollywood and protects them from bad publicity. And what’s even more delightful about her? She wears nothing but the best: Manolos, Berkins, Louboutins, and a whole lot you could possibly imagine. She is my ultimate female crush. Her body is just perfect that when you see her take her clothes off, you would want to go grab some porn. No, seriously. The actress that plays her role is Katie Cassidy.

 I'm sure you know her. She is in the newest season of Gossip Girl. Her job is my dream job. Having a platinum card and swiping it in every big hotel there is and having one night stands. That is what you call life!

And oh, by the way I saw the movie Letters to Juliet just yesterday. It is a very stirring movie which taught me to wait for my ultimate love. In the story, there was a 65 year old woman who overcame seemingly insurmountable odds just to meet her one true love once more. Now that’s true love! Whoever said that love is only for teenagers has got to watch this movie. It will tell you that even though you have everything in the world, you would still look for for someone to share it with. You have to look for that person regardless if it takes you 50 years.

So here I am in another manic Monday. We are approximately 2weeks away from staging our play and I am a little bit pressured with all the hustle and bustle. But we all know I can get it over with. I always do. Okay, so wish me luck as I triumph over the world one day at a time. Smoochy2x!
