Resolutions
Stop smoking. Quit, re-quit, acquit, doesn't matter. Just stop. Remember Maya Angelou:what if I'm really special. (I'm lying! This is pop American psychology.)
Stop taking too much pain relievers when I have migraine. No matter what I think, I'm not more charming when high.
Stop watching too much MTV. All those images of women only make me feel more insecure. And they're not showing Arctic Monkeys in the next 20 hours.
Stop saying Hillary Duff looks great if only she'd stick to her brown?blond hair. She starting to look like Ai-Ai Delas Alas when she wears the black wig in that With Love video. That's that.
Stop staring at that video Beautiful Liar. Beyonce and Shakira, they are beautiful aliens ruled by a special law of body gravity.
Stop saying Vietnamese women wear too much make-up during the day. They are. Is society.
Stop saying Vietnamese women are thin. They are. They are. They are.
Stop watching pirated Ewan McGregor films. He's not going to take off his clothes as he did in that ridiculous Pillow Book film (made worthwhile only by Ewan McGregor's dropping his pants at the drop of a hat).
Stop mulling over why Ewan McGregor is making more and more mediocre movies after Trainspotting and Pillow Book. (I could not remember if he took off his clothes in Trainspotting. I watched it in Marcus Adoro's house in my Eheads days. Mmm, well, bands and booze, they were snorting, and Marcus Adoro read philosophy. )
Stop fantasizing I have a say in Ewan McGregor's career.
Stop wishing there's a good English language bookstore in Saigon. Won't happen. Not in ten years, when students studying English now would point a gun to bookstores' owners' heads just so they would sell good English books because of lack of intellectual stimulation.
Today is World Book Day!

Have you tried the bookstore on the second floor at the Saigon Centre on Pasteur street? They actually have a decent bookstore where I can actually buy some books.
Panalo... Haha!

potah. "She starting to look like Ai-Ai Delas Alas when she wears the black wig in that With Love video.", I finally meet someone who also thinks the same way. We're from the same school indeed! ;P hahaha.
And, yeah, try going to the bookstore on the 2nd floor of Saigon Center. Or Fahasa and TRI (To Read Intellectually) on Dhong Khoi. There are some good books there. I used to hang-out at the one in Saigon Center to browse design magazines and hardbound books.
baray
i've tried fahasa and tri before.and i couldn't find Milan Kundera, Margaret Atwood,Allende etc(literature books) which are supposed to be easy to find(i thought)=)
