of fiction books, epiphanies and self-importance..

I recently bought a book entitled, Last Night at Chateau Marmont, which by the way I bought from my "stress buying" mood. I bought it for the 3 (very petty)reasons. One was because I was in desperate need to read a non-academic book, two was because (like I said earlier) I was stressed from a recent situation with a girl friend, and lastly because I thought I could relate to the "plot of the book". It was so inviting, the blurb, and I just wanted to read through the pages already. "...For five years, she's worked two jobs to support her husband's dream of making it to the music world... Brooke begins to question the truth about their marriage and is forced to finally come to terms wth what she thinks she wants-- and what she actually needs."

Today I finished the book and I honestly did not expect how everything turned out in the end. After reading the book, I felt so empowered not because of the book itself but because the book made me realize what I really wanted (not in the way the book wanted to). I suddenly realized that I had some thoughts on certain things and issues. I realized that I was so blinded by everything that I overlooked the more important details of situations and well certain events.

Today was a day of epiphanies and self-importance.

We sometimes think that we know what's happening, and expect the outcome, or anticipate that certain things followed. The thing is, nothing is certain, we can never be so sure. We cannot expect or anticipate or assume that this will happen or that it won't. We disappoint ourselves with our own stereotyping, with our own "but that's not supposed to happen".

I don't know If I'm still making sense but I hope I was able to convey what I was trying to say.

Anywaaaaaaaaay. Let's talk about the book. The book is written by the same author that wrote The Devil Wears Prada. Funny how I patterned Last Night at Chateau Marmont with that book. I'm glad she is not the predictable,patterned type. This book is a book of hope and I appreciate how it was written (careful and conservative). I won't say it's a feel good book, cause it will really stir up emotions like anger or spite but it's a good and easy read book. :)
