This past week, I read the latest bestseller pocketbook for teens, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It was a good way to spend idle time after I learned I failed the IQ exam. I think my pride is not yet over this so I cannot write about the topic in full length just yet. It’s just that I was so sure it was my destiny! I told all of my friends and family about it and prayed for it passionately. To say that I listened attentively in each class is an understatement! I established friendly ties with my classmates as I was positive they would be my colleagues as a diplomat.
Then I failed the IQ exam. The long and short of it is, I’m not good enough. Most of my friends and classmates urge me until now to retake it but as the cliché goes, “Once bitten, twice shy.” That’s all my pride can handle for now.
As I am writing this, only clichés enter my mind. Reading the review materials and supplements amaze me with “learning things I never knew I never knew” (line from the song Colors of the Wind). I liked the self-motivation of pushing my abilities beyond the limit. Well, as they say, the rest is history.
Recently, a good friend wanted me to watch the Food Network on cable so we have common ground as an interesting conversation starter. I tried, truly, but I have lost taste in spending much time in front of the TV, hence, this blog post. I dropped by a bookstore before going home and looked for a copy of New Moon (by the same author), the second instalment to the saga. I was informed that the stock would arrive some time tonight. I will definitely buy it tomorrow.
For now, I am back to killing time after office by watching the news, going online, reading pocketbooks, and updating my blog.
