Alone time

I've said it before, I like my "alone time", and I hardly get that time for myself, but this sunday without planning it, I've got it.


Also, and this is huge, I enjoy giving gifts. I like to see people's reaction and most of all, It makes me feel good inside, like I can share a peace of my heart or my soul, besides I like to make people smile (not that I'm a clown or anything, ¿?).


Today, before I went to the movies, alone, I went to buy a book, and meanwhile I was in line to pay, an old lady, in a very polite way, said to me:

- "Jane Austen?, Oh dear, I love her novels, she writes beautifuly, her stories are so romantic, and full of emotions, she really can take you to those times of greatness, are you reading it in english dear?"
-"Yes" - I replied - "I'd like to improve my skills in the language and expand my vocabulary"
-"Good for you dear" - she said.
Then I paid and asked the cashier to wrapped it as a gift, and the old lady without hesitate, grabs my arm and says:
-"I thought the book was for you... are you giving it as a gift?"
I just gave her a smile, and answer her back: -"It is a gift, for myself from me"-
and she just nodded and smiled, and gave me another "Good for you dear".
So every once in a while I give myself a treat, 'cause I really enjoy presents, to give or receive, besides it's not like it's every day, and it's only a book for God's sake!
Then I went to see Guy Ritchie's latest film, "ROCKANROLLA", it was ok, filled with dark and raw english humor, violence, sex and drugs... and of course rock, the soundtrack was good, excellent I'd say. I'm not a critic, but I give it one thumb up.
