You Are Modern |
 You are optimistic and forward looking. You love living in this world. You have a good memory for facts. You always are an ace at trivia. The world excites you. There are so many places you want to go and things you want to learn. You have a few key interests that are borderline obsessions. You can't stop thinking about them! |

Cats or Dogs?
Dogs. My family has had so many dogs that I've become immune to them. I'm still allergic to cats. (I have asthma.)

LOST Wins At TCA Awards
The Television Critics Association honoured LOST with the Outstanding Achievement in Drama award at the 26th Annual TCA Awards tonight, Televisionary reports.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
LOST was tied with Breaking Bad for the award, while Modern Family took the Outstanding Achievement in Comedy honour. The Good Wife's Julianna Margulies, who could win the Emmy Best Actress - Drama in a month, won the Individual Achievement in Drama award, while Glee's Jane Lynch, a shoo-in for the Best Supporting Actress - Comedy Emmy, won the Individual Achievement in Comedy honour. The Pacific also won the Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries, and Specials award.
So happy for Julianna Margulies and Jane Lynch! Modern Family too!
The big winner, though, is Glee, which won both the Program of the Year (the award show's highest honour) and the Outstanding New Program awards. I'm surprised that it didn't win the Outstanding Achievement in Comedy award. Hehehe...
Anyway, LOST was nominated for two other awards, Program of the Year and Heritage Award. The latter was given to M*A*S*H for its cultural and social impact on society.
Not too shabby for a recently departed show, though.
Congrats to all the winners, the full list of which can be found here.

Three Stories. Yeah.
I did it: I submitted three stories for the 2010 FMC Fiction Prize.
Thank God.
I decided to add another story to the mix, because submitting three stories is a little bit cheaper than submitting just one. Well, USD $2 is still two bucks. So, in addition to Before I Let You Go and Frogs & Princes, I quickly edited Under The Autumn Rain, a story I wrote seven years ago. Then I went on the Flatmancrooked website and paid USD $40 for the three stories via PayPal. Then I copied and pasted the three stories on the submission form under my pen name. I was so relieved to see the "Success!" message after I hit send.
Again, thank You, Lord!
If you've read Before I Let You Go on my Writing.com profile - coughgotomyprofilecough - you'd know what it's about. Frogs & Princes is about a Christian girl torn between a Christian guy with whom she's in love and a non-Christian guy who's into her. It's semi-autobiographical. 'Nuff said. Anyway, Under The Autumn Rain is about a new Canadian immigrant who's had a bad day and who wants to give up.
Phew!
Even if I don't win anything, at least I got to write a new story. And I was able to write and edit with a deadline. See? It's a win-win situation.
But I do hope I win something. It'd be cool to win even a runner-up prize or consolation prize on the first fiction-writing contest I entered. That'd be really cool.
Ciao for now!

Finally...
Editing is finally done. DONE. D-O-N-E.
Phew!
And, yes, I changed the title to Frogs & Princes. I think it's a better title than Maybe This Time. Guess who's the frog and who's the prince? Hehehehe...
Thank You, Lord!
OK, so I'm gonna rest tonight. When I come home tomorrow, I will submit Before I Let You Go and Frogs & Princes to Flatmancrooked's 2010 FMC Fiction Prize.

Frogs & Princes
What do you think of Natasha Bedingfield's song, Frogs & Princes, as official title for Maybe This Time?
Here are the lyrics, copied from Natasha's website (and proofread, hehe):
What do you guys think?
Here are the lyrics, copied from Natasha's website (and proofread, hehe):
The in & out of datin's got me all confused
I build up expectation, end up feelin' used
Seems everybody's into fast food, everybody's into quick
I want someone to take the time, fine dine me not rush it
Now it's nearly 7.30 I'm slippin' on a dress
I keep my fingers crossed you're not like all the rest
So when you come to pick me up come right to my door
Don't stay in ur car and beep beep the horn
Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic
You'll pick the sounds for the background to our drive into town
Baby don't be one of the traffic
Had too many nights with the wrong guys comin' up redlights
Tell me how many frogs do I have to kiss
Before I find my Prince
Before I find my Prince
All you girls that are goin' thru this
Tell 'em how it is
Tell 'em how it is
We pull up to our premiere, red carpet good
You check my coat, get my chair like I hoped u would
You're funny and your flirtin's really workin' 4 me
But where it goes from here gotta wait and see
Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic
And you'll pick the view that we kiss to make me go Ooh Ooh
But maybe it'll all turn out tragic
And u'll push 4 more back at my front door more than I'm ready for
You gotta..Tip the waiter, that's how it works
You can't skip the starter, go straight to desert
U gotta.. pop the cork..Before u taste the wine
Don't make a mad dash for the finish...
Line up in a row cos the dating game is (wooh)
We get hooked up but the real shame is
Too much connection followed by rejection
S'gonna hurt a girl till she learns her lesson
I build up expectation, end up feelin' used
Seems everybody's into fast food, everybody's into quick
I want someone to take the time, fine dine me not rush it
Now it's nearly 7.30 I'm slippin' on a dress
