All Hallows' Eve

in about a few hour's time, daylight saving time is going to end and we shall have an hour extra. i absolutely love this time of the year because it gives me the illusion that i somehow gain a full hour to do whatever i want. not to mention its sorta magical to have a hidden hour sandwiched between two hours. something like walking into the wall at platform 11 and three quarters at the train station and emerging into a completely hidden world that J.K. Rowling created for Harry Potter and the gang. i sometimes envy Harry so much i wished i could be him. but back to reality. since i can't have a magic wand or a flying broom stick, i would settle for an extra hour... for now. ;)

it's Halloween tonight. on this festive night, everyone dressed up to go to house parties, using their most imaginative thoughts to conjure up a very extensive costume from head to toe that will hopefully stand out in the crowd. it's a fun time to be, and i bet they will have even more fun with the extra hour of more drinking and rowdiness. good times. :) but of course, yours truly have a bunch of stuff to do, so this year i'm skipping the fun. decided its best to get my work done asap if i want some fun on thanksgiving. i need to check as many things off my list as possible in order to enjoy the upcoming four-day holiday to the fullest, with nothing to worry about but savoring some early eggnog, cinnamon toast for breakfast, turkey, corn bread, pumpkin and pecan pies etc. so me thinks giving up hallows' eve is a small price to pay. ;)

it's the end of October now, and two months to go before 2010 comes. how time flies. tomorrow i shall be heading to the bookstore for some quiet read, and working on my apps. wish me luck.
