That's Echo my boyfriend's car. And one of my school mate was there too! And in the above picture, that's me all dolled up!

You can experience 3D movie (just like in Enchanted Kingdom) in IMAX! I want to come face to face with T-Rex!


This is Speed Racer's car and that's me holding Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.

Would you believe that I could have totally skipped the movie Speed Racer with out regret? Oh yes, I even watch Harold and Kumar before it! I was a bit judgmental, thinking that it will all be about cars and boys and racing. But I was so wrong.

It has a cool breath taking effect, cute characters, a cute monkey and a really lovable family. I was so disappointed at myself for ever judging a movie without even watching it first... I even thought Harold and Kumar would be much better than it but... will all those marijuana nonsense? Ha! The only thing funny there was the Cock-Meat-Sandwich (blush). Yeah, I know. Bad Rachel!

Anyway, Speed Racer is child-friendly and a very "cool" movie. And watching it in IMAX had it more exhilarating!

Oh, by the way, after finishing The Scarlet Letter, my boyfriend bought me a book, Moby-Dick. I know, some may judge it, like how I judge Speed Racer, with Oh its just about a stupid white whale and captain Ahab... but believe it or not... I really got hook in this book just like I was hook in Little Women; only, this is a real adventure!

Just another close-up!

I did some shopping recently and bought these two apparel, the pink top and the cropped shorts. Though florals are in fashion today, I want to give the aura of "flowery" when choosing what to buy. So I thought, this pink top, would compliment this short in such a way that it resembles the pink petals and the green-brown stem of a flower.

To give color to my eyes, since I won't be using any eyeshadow, I bought a violet contact lens. Yes, I was suppose to buy green but I feel like I'll be losing my identity if I don't wear my trademark color.

The words "scarlet letter" feels so controversial and popular yet I do not know whether it pertains to an actual letter or a letter as in a love letter. I bought it, not knowing what to expect and hopefully it will cheer me up as the novel of Flaubert had dampen my soul.

The answer to the mystery, unfortunately, will only be given at the end and so it really bugged me through out the novel. You can really feel Hester Prynne, who has been ashamed to the eyes of her neighbors and yet for 7 years or so continued to live her life and become the carrier of the legend of the scarlet letter.

Hawthorne even used symbolism as he used Pearl, Hester's daughter, the living representation of the Scarlet Letter. Oh, how I enjoyed Pearl and her antics. She is compared to an imp for her unruly behavior, always jumping up and down, dancing all around, and yet, possesses a great beauty that people admire but still connects to evil.

Reading this novel made me recall Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo of Jose Rizal. It attacks the people seated in power. Why, he had written it beautifully indeed! The mixture of love, hope, sacrifice, mystery, pride, power and vengeance... who wouldn't get absorbed in the world of The Scarlet Letter?

I then realized, that no matter how much I have ashamed myself in the eyes of the public, no matter how much people criticize and hate me, no matter how much they love to see my downfall, and no matter how they condemn the love I feel for a person to whom they think is wrong for me to love...

So, does that mean you'll now have the guts to stay in your university having that enigma similar to the scarlet letter of Hester Prynne? We'll see... We'll see...
