The Lake House

Written by Emma on July 11th, 2006

Starring: Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock

This a cute, romantic story that follows the lives of two individuals who fall in love over time or rather despite time. The story revolves around them communicating with letters and then realizing that they actually live two years apart.

If you are a sci fi buff or like your movies to make sense, forget about logic … this movie is not about that. Otherwise you will find a dozen things that do not make sense. For example: If an x event inspired a y event which led to a z event, then if you take out the x then how do y and z still happen LOL!

Watch the movie…let its emotions sweep you away and don’t think too much and you will fall in love with it. That is the way to watch any romantic movie.

July 7, 2006 – Fashion Paranoia

Written by Emma on July 11th, 2006

Dear Diary,

The other day I walked into this shop. I had to go up to the counter to exchange a product and halfway there I stopped dead in my tracks!

Thoughts running through my mind:

  • Ack!!!! There is someone wearing the exact same print that I am wearing.
  • There is no way I am getting near the counter!
  • Wild horses can’t drag me
  • Run!!!
  • Turn around! Walk the other way!
  • How could this happen!!!

And I thought I couldn’t care less ;-)

Written by Emma on July 11th, 2006

Dear Diary,

Some people have really weird ideas about marriage and becoming a woman. A few days back I went to this wedding and overheard the following conversation between two unnamed people:

Person A: Oh B, you have become very domesticated!

My Comment: Simple Question. A simple answer could have been: “Yeah, you do when you get married.” But we get a not so simple and very weird reply.

Person B: Oh I have gotten married so now I’m a woman so I do things like a woman and not like a girl.

My Comment: Huh!!!

The same Person B once upon a time had the following exchange with my cousin who had recently gotten engaged:

11-07-06 Little Beanie

Written by Claire on July 11th, 2006

tutlemometer.jpgLittle beanie (my one year old nephew) has not been well for the last three days and his mom, his grand parents, his dad and everyone is very very upset. We went to the doctor yesterday and he was diagnosed as having intestinal infection. He is not active as he usually is, and spends most of the day sleeping. Of course he looks totally adorable when he is sleeping, but he has also lost weight and is looking weaker. He is on anti biotic and hopefully the infection will be cured soon.

In praise of drizzle

Written by Claire on July 11th, 2006

It is such a relief to see the weather taking a turn for the better. The cool breeze invigorates your senses and tickles the poetic being within you back to life. Of course no poetry is going to be produced just yet. It needs a lot more inspiration than just some nice breeze. But at least the poetic individual is there and you can feel its existence – all thanks to the weather.

It is strange and ironic that regardless of all the troubles a rainy weather brings – traffic jams and power loss to name few- it is always greeted with excitement by us Karachiites. The moment we see some grey clouds in the sky we say to each other, “Wow did you see how amazing the weather is today?”
