So I've been watching one DVD after another, downloading songs after songs, writing/reviewing/editing stories, and photoshopping until my eyes blur. Ah, the joy of holiday. =P

DVDs: After endless searching, I finally got a copy of A Walk to Remember and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. Yay! A Walk to Remember is definitely one of my favourite movies of all time, and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants just fits so well with what I'm going through these days that it made me cry and laugh at all the right moments.

But looking back now I feel like our lives changed because they had to, and that the real magic of the pants was in bearing witness to all of this and in somehow holding us together when it felt like nothing would ever be the same again.
Some things never would be
But we know now that no matter how far we traveled on our own separate paths...
Somehow we would always find out way back to each other.
And with that, we could get through anything.
To us. Who we were, and who we are. And who we'll be.
To the pants.
And the sisterhood.
And this moment, and the rest of our lives.
Together and apart.

I've been quoting that line everywhere. The sequel is great too. Recommended if you're a girl and thinks life is changing way too fast.

Oh, Marley and Me = awesomeness. I bawled like a baby at the end, but it's got some funny moments too. If you've ever loved a dog, you'll most likely love this movie too.

Songs: Downloaded A Walk to Remember soundtrack (Switchfoot is awesome here, and I do like Mandy Moore) and Kris Allen's version of Falling Slowly. He might not win American Idol, but I adore his voice, especially if he sings ballads like this one. ^_^ Still looking for Adam's last performance, but I can't find it anywhere. =/

Stories: Well, I've made a promise to do NaNoWriMo this year (for those who don't know what it is, it's about writing 50k words in a month). I still don't know whether I'd do it in November or July, but either way I'm doing it.

Photoshop: Who knew making a 100x100 icon can be such a pain? I'll post results when I manage to actually make some.

A day late, but I finally narrowed down my list of favorite love songs. In random order:

The Way - Clay Aiken
Because You Live - Jesse McCartney
You Found Me - Kelly Clarkson
What Makes You Different - Backstreet Boys
Things I'll Never Say - Avril Lavigne
Everything I Have - Clay Aiken
I'd Lie - Taylor Swift
Best of Me - Blue
Some Hearts - Carrie Underwood
Bubbly - Colbie Caillat
Realize - Colbie Caillat
Always Be My Baby - David Cook
I Won't Say (I'm In Love) [The Hercules soundtrack version]
Take My Breath Away - Emma Bunton
Why Can't I - Liz Phair
True- Ryan Cabrera
Come What May - Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman

There are lots more, but these are the songs I would never get tired of.

The highlight of my Valentine: chatting with Anita and Feli on msn. Teasing each other about guys, laughing and joking, talking about school... It's almost like Feli never left. Almost. =p But it was all fun. Though I pretend to be strong about it, it'd be horrible when we all have to leave for unis.

I realized something yesterday. If all my friends have boyfriends and I'm the only one who is single, it won't be the 'single' part that I will be worried about. I don't mind being single. It will be the part where they choose the boyfriends over the best friend, which I know from experience will happen at some point despite what they all say. But I guess I could understand. For some, it's studs over duds, and there's nothing I can do about that.
