Tomorrow is another Monday. How long will I keep on dreading Monday? My theory is that even if are weekends are three days and the week officially starts on a Tuesday, my bet is that the populace will at first relish the thought of a three day weekend --- however, once the novelty has worn off, Tuesday will become the new Monday. And the workplace, we ungrateful bastards will once more start keening and wailing at the impending beginning of the work week.

Ungrateful because we kinda forget that we're just lucky that we have jobs. I know it's just downright preachy but I don't care. When people ask me why i am still at the world's local bank after almost five years, this is my standard response --- hey, it's a job.

Went to a family gathering earlier --- started off bored but ended the night amused. My mother's aunts side is comprised of people who has made something about their lives. Majority of my family ( and I say "my" because of technicalities only) are right by the deep end of the crazy pool. Sometimes I think it's just a matter of time until I slit my wrists. That or I kill one of them.

This out of sorts feeling has been lingering for a long time now. Thoughts floating through my head right now involve phrases like " Familiarity breeds contempt" "No, you're not a bitch, just a needy little person who lacks experience with the world" "drip and dry, drip and dry". Restlessness has pervaded this room and it needs to be stifled.

Whats the point of liking someone when I can't be a viable part of their world?

Back Home 2

It's great to be back home --- I will never complain about the heat again.

I wish I could say the same about being back at work. It is true. Familiarity does breed contempt.

Back Home

Shopped a storm at GZ. Bought book whilst there too even if the English books are abnormally expensive. I will not take BookSale for granted anymore.

Got the ff:
The Historian - Spooky ghost story about Vlad the Impaler being alive during there modern times.

Vampire Academy - Bought this in NAIA whilst waiting for my flight. It's a teenager book that doesn't require brain cells to understand.

Philippa Gregory's The Queen's Fool and The Virgin's Lover - Medieval bodice rippers disguised as historical novels. It was a double bill in one tome.

Six Suspects - By the same guy who wrote Q&A (aka Slumdog Millionaire) Wonderful book.

Will write more once I have uploaded the rest of my China pictures.
