I've borrowed this book "White Rose- una rosa blanca" by Amy Ephron. It's a great book about the Cuban 'war' against the Spanish.
Viva Cuba Libre! Such a nice story.. I spent the whole of this morning reading it.. (:
I've been thinking a lot about the difference between anna's life and mine. And it's amazing how anna treats praises about her being so beautiful, like it was long due or something. I mean, I have to admit, anna
is pretty, but I don't get why her bf has to remind her day after day, as if her
high-profile lifestyle in America wasn't enough to remind her already. Sometimes I really wonder whether anna lives in
Sweet Valley or something, where everyone can change bfs like they change the fashion, and walk around with short little cheerleader skirts, swaying their pom-poms around and laughing with their high-profile cheerleader friends. Is it like that is every American high school? It's really funny, but I am actually wondering whether that is f u n at all. You miss home, don't you? Bet she will never get use to S'pore, where everyone works for whatever reason, then get good grades, then get a nice job, get married, have kids (that's what our govt wants anyway), then die.
How sad. But it seems different in America somehow. Everyone's not so,
serious. But then again, one can get shot at anyday over there.
It's never perfect, is it?
