Romanticism

Obviously, I am a romantic at heart. I love romantic chick movies that makes you bawl till you can't breathe coz your nose is blocked with snort so thick you can't even blow it out. Either that or you finish a roll of toilet paper, leaving trails of gross rubbish around the couch. Latest movie that made me do both of that (yes, I watched it twice and still had the same effect) is ps i love you.

No matter what a girl says, i bet you that she is still a romantic at heart. Some is because of a self protecting mechanism. It's not disappointing if there is nothing to expect. But that's another topic that I won't discuss now. It's supposed to be a happy entry.

I used to not want to admit it because i used to not like acting like a girl. Yes, I was a tomboy and I grew out of it and now i freely admit that i love romantic gesture. Who doesn't like feeling loved and cherished. Who doesn't love feeling warm and fuzzy because you know somebody cares for you enough to go the extra length to surprise you with well planned act.

I got mine just yesterday. Well, it's supposed to be for my birthday but I found out before date. Adrian arranged a treasure hunt for me. He is supposed to be away in Nambour on my birthday so he arranged this for me as a surprise. I found one of his clue in the kitchen. He had to admit it (okie.. i forced him to tell me what it is). And after that I forced him to tell me where the first clue was.

There were 10 clues in total. The first one was hidden behind the living room clock, continuing around the house including the garage. As tiring as it was ransacking the house and running up and down the garage, it felt good. And when Yee Pei and Zen looked at the clues, they couldn't understand at all. For some reason, that sent a warm feeling throughout cos I am the only one who understood the clues.

And yes, the clues led to a pearl set on a gold ring.

...ME

I really don't know about that. Although, I am quite sure that if I don't change, or fix me up, I'd hate me in the future. So I start this new blog in hope that I would shape myself, keep myself in check with stuff that normally goes on in my head, so that next time I look at myself in the mirror, I would be the person that I imagined myself to be. I AM NOT waking up one day when I'm 30 still not knowing who I am.

I know that this whole identity issue is supposed to be for teenager. What the hell is a 24 year old doing with this crap. But I always have been a late bloomer. Better now than never, right?

I'm hoping that honesty would be the key in this blog. However, names would be kept anonymous and the content is mainly about ME! It is my blog..

So this is the official second launching of lindatjoa.blogspot.com

To the grown-up Linda. Cheers..
