I am rather free today. Did some blog-hopping - laughed, smiled, nodded + shook head, winced, salivated (food blogs) and went "awww" (mommies with babies blogs).

Browsed thestar online and read a couple of articles. And I say to the lady who said, "I was only joking," - you blardy deserved the more than 4 hours of held up and questioning by the police. What were you thinking?! Threatening to hijack a plane, but oh... "I was only joking." Geez. I hope she and everyone else who ever thought that was funny, learnt a lesson from this. Oh by the way, I thought the newly-married Zara is HOT.

I got bored and was listening to some really sentimental songs and suddenly something prompted me to login to yahoomail. Not to check on my account.

But my ex's.

No, not the recent ex, but an ex from long time ago and till today we're still good friends. See, it was not in my intention to invade his privacy or check on him but just out of curiousity, I had just wanted to see whether he was still using The Password for his account.

The Password: loveangie

And it logged me in beautifully. Shook my head, lips formed a silly girly grin and promptly messaged him.

Me: Why isn't it changed?
J: Why wasn't what changed?
Me: The password in your yahoo mail.
J: Ohhhh that... hahaha you tried? ;)
Me: I got curious. Ppl that I know, who use my name as passwords, I find that blardy fascinating. Even if it's 'hateangie' or 'dieangie'.
J: :) You should know that I hate changes. I love routine. Which is a great opposite from yours ;)
Me: Oh well, that's nothing new. So you're gonna STILL use that?
J: Been using that 6 yrs ago and will still be using that 6 yrs from now. Just as long my account doesn't die on me.

But that's J anyway. Still with the same ol' haircut he's been sporting for years now. But I have absolutely no reservations whatsoever for that matter. It suits him fine.

So, I put myself in the reversed situation. If I were to be the one who set that password, like "lovej" would I change it the moment we call the relationship off? I have a gf who broke up few months back and all, and I mean ALL her passwords - be it personal emails or work-related stuff - she has them all with her ex's name conjoined with hers. She had difficultly changing the habit, told me she kept entering the old password for several weeks and it frustrated her immensely each time that she couldn't be logged on and be reminded that she was no longer with him anymore and hence the new password. She hated the change. She hated the idea of having a new password so much, she set it as "tohellwithpasswords".

So, does this mean, ladies hate changes because they can't face or accept the ugly truth while men resist changes for normality's sake? Hmm.

But to answer the question on the reversed situation above, in the first place, I would NEVER set a password with my beloved's name in it. I don't know why, but I just wouldn't.

This brings me back to a story once upon a time ago, when my other ex, Andy decided that he was so in love with me, he set up an account with the username: soinluvwithangie

Please don't puke yet. Wait till you hear his 'brilliant' suggestion for a password.

Apparently, he set the password as: andyluvangie

AND

He cheekily (in a serious manner) asked me to set up another account: soinluvwithandy with the password: angieluvandy

I mean seriously, WTF right! I was young back then but I wasn't young and stupid! Stupid sometimes, but not entirely stupid  So, obviously I did not succumb to his ridiculous idea. I mean, seriously???

So yes, this thing about Changes. Just how well do you welcome changes in your life?

Oh, and J's right. I love changes. Changes means having the freedom to see, feel and experience new things in life, even if it means having to go through a long period of time to get accustomed to these changes, because only through these changes will you find your true self. John Lilly said, "Our only security is our ability to change and adapt."

Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights

Alex Wan: i can marry tmrw la if she shows up

actually, not just today.

Being a HUGE fan of Neil Gaiman's, I can't wait for his story, Stardust to be told in a movie form.

Me thinks Claire Danes as Yvaine was perfect.
The cross-dressing pirate, Captain Shakespeare is played by Robert De Niro, personally I would much prefer Johnny Depp aka Captain Jack Sparrow. Love him but we'll see how De Niro carries it off.
And Ian McKellen (Gandalf from LOTR) as the Narrator - brilliant. Love his warm, grandfatherly voice. Another favorite choice of mine, Morgan Freeman.
Not too keen on Sienna Miller as Victoria but we'll see.
And then we have Michelle Pfeiffer who is finally back taking the role as Lamia, the evil witch!
I'm just so excited!

You know I have a feeling Mr Tay won't wanna watch this with me.
He hates fantasy / magic / prancing fairies / dark faeries kinda movies.
Hence, I didn't get to watch Pan's Labyrinth, waiting for DVD now

Stardust - Coming to cinemas near you ~

Neil Gaiman didn't quite like the tagline they are using, "Stardust. This summer a star falls. The chase begins."
Neil said, "My own suggestion, "Stardust. It's not a sequel to anything," was appreciated but, probably wisely, rejected."
Personally, I think I prefer the first one. Hmm.

Oh you don't mean no nothing at all to me
No you don't mean no nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free

Oh you could mean everything to me.
