hey peeps! christmas was a blast dont you think! teehee. so happy and jolly and jumpy and bouncy and yay! hahaha. and today is new years eve. can you believe how fast one year has passed. SO many things happened this year in what seemed like such a short time. anyway, i went to watch twilight the other day with the merllamas oh and thomas. haha. i think it was , an interesting movie. the setting and all were nice but i must say i was utterly disappointed in the kissing scenes and all the important parts. cos they didn't seem like they were that crucial, given the way they were done. like the music and all weren't right. and they didn't play DECODE until the 2nd song of the credits! so urgh right! :/ oh well.

i came across this very interesting poem like thing while reading chicken soup one day ( yeah i was bored la ) but i really thought i struck a raw nerve and it makes sense. worst thing- it's about gossip. here goes.

My name is Gossip.
I have no respect for justice.
I maim hearts without killing.
I break hearts and ruin lives.
I am cunning, malicious and gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.
My victims are helpless.
They cannot protect themselves against me because i have no name and no face.
To track me down is impossible.
The harder you try, the more elusive i become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once i varnish a reputation, it's never the same.
I topple the governments and wreck marriages.
I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches and indigestion.
I spawn suspicion and generate grief.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
Even my name hisses. (I am called Gossssssip)
Office gossip, shop gossip, party gossip, telephone gossip.
I make headlines and headaches.
REMEMBER: Before you repeat a story, ask yourself- Is it true? Is it fair? Is it necessary? If not, do not repeat it. KEEP QUIET.
Great minds discuss ideas, Average minds discuss events, Shallow minds discuss people.
Which, are YOU?

very impactful right? yeah i was damn shocked when a read it. yeah. so think twice guys. and so will i next time :/
