THIS IS IT

I went to watch 'This Is It' today at 1Borneo! It's a really long movie or behind-the-scenes look, whichever appeals to you more, about 2 hours long. It would have been a great concert if he had lived long enough to perform in it. Though, he seems kinda tired and exhausted during the rehearsals, pity... Well, it was totally awesome! Funny how the world all turned their eyes on MJ for all the wrong reasons. People can have a pretty wild imagination sometimes, especially the media. There was a video circulating on the web that shows MJ alive, being escorted out of a coroner's van, but the funny thing is you never got even a glimpse of his face... Hah, might be just another scam like the videos of his ghost moonwalking =.= What can I say...

So, I visited the (newly opened?) Harris Bookstore at 1Borneo while I was there. They've got lots of books, especially English fiction and literature, which is a good thing. Apparently, Popular Bookstore doesn't have enough books for me and most of them are weird. I saw an MJ unauthorized biography 'Unmasked' written by some guy named Ian Halperin who is (claims, is a more suited word) MJ's friend who predicted MJ's death. Come on, you could have or should have done something about it instead of writing a book about it now saying he was a goner... Oh, and I saw another book, it's more of a graphic or picture book, titled 'The Dangerous Alphabet'. It was written by Neil Gaiman, illustrated by some Grimly guy. Neil Gaiman is a really great author (he's the author of 'Stardust' but I didn't read that one), haha, his books are really interesting and they have their own charm. (Oh no, I'm speaking gibberish...) In conclusion, Michael Jackson totally rocks! and Neil Gaiman rocks too, in second place of course.

Hahaha. HARRIS! It looks so new and shiny and nice right? All the books look so white. It's awesome going in there. The variety you get there is bigger, and so is the selection, but still I think I prefer Borders. Borders is HUGE and it's so library-ish. If only it was more quiet.

Yea.. Something is wrong with all of our minds. We always turn our attention on something/somebody only at the last minute for the wrong reasons. Like Britney Spears, or global warming. Hahaha. =P

Somehow it suddenly struck me that Harris sells alot, and really ALOT of fiction. Now, if only most of them were not sci-fi... Haha. It would take a miracle for Borders to get here, maybe it might open in that new mall?? I better not count on that.

Well, everyone loves gossip and news about people falling from the top of their career, guess it's just human nature... Too bad though. Hahaha, somehow I get the feeling that people pay more attention to Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan more than global warming... XD

HAHAHA!!!! Exactly!!! Something's wrong with us humans. Sci-fi is actually quite good. I just finished one. Woooo. So COOL!!! You know why? Because our Science doesn't apply in books like that. It's entirely a whole new world. Haha.

I have to stop talking now. Before I get hyper. Haha.
