Christmas is just around the corner, and so everyone out there are jam packing the malls buying up stuff for themselves, stuff to give away, stuff for next year etc. It's hectic, it's chaotic, it's fun in some ways too. I myself have done a bit of shopping, and once my salary rolls in a few days from now, I'll be doing some more.
I love Christmas, even though I don't actually celebrate it. I love the decorations, the tree, Santa walking around the mall, pretty girls dressed as Santarinas (and I LOVE Santarinas lol) and the idea of getting and giving stuff. But you know what I don't like about Christmas? Christmas CDs.
Yeah, that's it. Christmas CDs. Like, why do recording artistes have to come up with a collection of Christmas songs to put on a CD and release every year? It's the same Xmas songs all the time. Either they sing the well known tunes everyone knows the words to, or they write new ones, which essentially has the same spirit of Xmas all those other songs embody.
So why do they do this? It's simple. Those recording studios want to cash in on Xmas. But do they really need to? They're already earning so much money from regular CDs, now they want more money? I think someone I knew once would call this commercialising Xmas. I recalled how much he hated it. Not the CD thing, the commercial thing.
I mean, does it make a difference if songs like Jingle Bells or Twelve Days of Xmas are performed by David Archuleta on one CD and also by Tori Amos on another? It's the same Xmas song, or different ones done by different people. It's Xmas, you don't have to suck every last dollar out of their fans just to stuff your damn stockings. Hmph. Good thing Marion Raven never made one such CD, though if she did, I guess I would get one. Maybe.
2010 is so close now. Another great year at the movies will arise. Just to give you a hint on what's to come, take a look at this trailer.

One
So it's one entry per month now for me, it seems. Writer's block, or just too lazy?
My friends, I have but one request: Pick one.
That nagging medical ailment I've been having is more or less over. I went to see a specialist for it, paid a large sum and got some meds. At first I wasn't entirely convinced he knew what was wrong with me, but at least he knew what I wasn't having. So I'm better now. And I've been working hard to keep myself in good shape, except jogging. I just am not that type of person. But I walk a lot, so that is better than nothing.
I was just mentioning about Adam Lambert last month, and he recently made headlines again, thanks to his over the top performance at the AMAs. This is when I looked at my sister, who's a big fan of his, and said "This is why Kris Allen is the American Idol winner."
The Twilight craze is back. New Moon has been all over the place, on TV, newspapers, magazines etc. I've read several reviews on the film, and it's mostly negative. This is probably because most of them can't fathom the insane devotion from the book's fans over Robert Pattinson's hair, or Taylor Lautner's muscles, or whether Kristen Stewart is dating Robert or not. But I am going to watch it soon anyway, no matter what.
That girl I keep talking about, but won't reveal her name....well I finally added her on Facebook. I found out a few things after that. One, she's married. Two, she has kids. But you know what? I can tell that she's happy, and now there's a big part of me that is finally able to let her go. I do want to see her again in person, just one more time. But at least now I can afford to not think of her so much anymore.
It'll be December in 2 days. And that means Christmas is coming. That also means it's time to go shopping. It's gonna be fun. Don't overdo it, and tell me what you got later:)

Sorry Adam Lambert fans.....
...but this is, in my opinion, the worst album cover I've ever seen. You can quote me.
Happy Halloween:)

What Do I Write?
Hmph. There's nothing worse than getting writer's block when it comes to having a blog. Look at this. I've been going a month with nothing to post here.
But like I said before, it's not because my life is that dull, it's just because I don't really know how to put my troubles down in here. Times have changed, people have changed, and these days I don't really know if anyone even wants to hear what I have to say anymore.
From the way things look now, my life might be taking a harder road to walk down. I can feel that it's about to get rougher from here on in. But I'm doing my best to keep my chin up, and I keep praying to Him to help me get through this.
It's Sunday and I had to go to the office to get some work done. And what are most people doing today? Coming back home from the long Eid holidays. Speaking of which, how did you guys spend your holidays? Had fun? Good, but don't tell me about it, I'll just die of envy if you do.
I guess if there's one thing I'm happy about, is not being sick right now. I had a terrible case of dysentery last week, and I'm sure glad I'm all right now. Strange thing is, I had the same problem around this time last year. Gotta watch what I eat nowadays.
Anyways, a new week and month begin, see you guys soon.
