          The day I was chucked out of the company, I sort of sulked inside the house. I did nothing but to eat, sleep, play piano and watch television.

          i watched “Like Mike” Saturday evening. I never liked that movie, and it didn’t really capture my attention. But there’s nothing to watch that night; we’ve ran out of DVD tapes, so I shut down my PC and sat in front of tv to watch.

         Actually, I missed the part wherein Calvin (played by Bow wow) and his friends, who all live in an orphanage, found the old pair of shoes with initials “M.J.” on it. He tried it on, and had unbelievable (and impossible) basketball powers.

         Calvin had a chance to play in NBA and go against the superstars like Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson and many more. He and his team mate, Tracey sort of bonded, just like father and son. Despite the fame and money he has, all Calvin wanted was a family. Or a dad, to be exact.

       There were so many cameo appearances of NBA Superstars like T Mac, Alonzo Mourning (whoa, last name sucks), Gary Payton, Rasheed Wallace, and many more. i loved the part where Dirk asked for Calvin’s autograph. I was like, “Wow, it will surely feel great when your idol or someone famous asks for my autograph.”

         Now that Calvin’s famous, people were suddenly interested in adopting him. Tracy soon realized that he wanted Calvin as a son. Calvin told his team mates during the finals that his basketball powers came from the beaten and worn-out shoes, which was now ruined.

         They won the game, but Calvin couldn’t play anymore, because the shoes were ruined. The movie ended as Tracey adopts Calvin and is bestfriend, Murph.

        Wow. The movie was fantastic. The movie stick with the basic, and it’s for the whole family. Bow Wow (Lil Bow wow then) made a good job. He’s a natural and used his eyes for acting. But of course, in reality, they won’t allow children to play in NBA, even if they’re that good. What, do you think that a fourteen year-old can survive if Shaq crash on him? Unless that fourteen year-old is one full hell of a six-footer, maybe, he can.

         I give 9 stars out of 10. Good job.

           The next day, I woke up, still feeling sour. Maybe, because of the fresh, unbrushed morning breath. I hit hard the keys of my piano, all day. It sucks. Hello, I’m only a teen, and I should be worrying about everything under this roof. But I guess, nobody’s there to look after me. Nobody cares about me. That’s the truth. When I accomplish something, people are always calling, asking for advice, but when I lose, nobody cares about me. Thanks, I feel very fine. Haha.

          That night, i just watch movies while pulling out my plan. I finished “Jeepers’ Creeper’s”, which really sucks, if you ask me, by the way. I love “Princess Diaries”!

         Man, the movie was so far from the book. In the movie, Mia Thermopolis lives in San Francisco, while in the book, she’s in Manhattan, New York. Here’s the difference between the book and the movie:

                   THE BOOK                                     versus                           THE MOVIE

- Mia’s real name is “Amelia Mignonette         while        - her real name is “Amelia Mignonette   
   Thermopolis Grimaldi Renaldo”                                       Thermopolis Renaldi”

- She lives in Manhattan, New York                while         – she lives in San Francisco

_ She’s very tall and very skinny                     while         – She’s nerdy, but beautiful

- Her Mom’s boyfriend’s name                       while         - his name is Patrick O’Connell
   (and Algebra teacher) is Frank GIanini

- Her archenemy’s name is Lana Weinberger  while         – her name is Lana Johnson

- Her archenemy’s boyfriend’s                       while         – his name is Josh Bryant
  name is Josh Richter

- Her bestfriend’s boyfriends name               while        – Jeremiah Hart, and a computer genius
  is Boris Pelkowski. He is a violinist.

- Her dad, Philip Renaldo is still alive           while        – he’s already dead.

- Her grandmother aka. Grandmere is evil   while         – she’s sugar, spice and everything nice.

           I’ve been a fan of Princess Diaries (both book and movie), since I was a little girl. But don’t think that I got the idea of writing in a diary in that movie. I was writing already before the book was written, and the film produced.

           Anyway, Robert Schwartzman was fit for his role (Michael Moscovitz). You know, not the stereotype jock, but geeky, more likely. Anne Hathaway was the best for the role, and I can’t think of any other actress who could play the role better. I can’t imagine Lindsay or Paris portraying the perky and geeky personality of Mia Thermopolis.

          I noticed that Tina Hakim Baba was not in the movie. She’s in the second movie, but had a different name. Her name was Asana, who was played by Raven Symone. Wow, Disney never got it right.

         Despite of all the confusions that Disney gave the viewers and readers, the movie is still worthy to get 7 stars out of 10.

        Last martedi, I set out to hunt for a job. I started with Convergys, another call center agency, and according from what I’ve heard, it’s one of the leading customer service agency.

       I met this pretty girl at Convergys. I arrived at the ofice around ten in the morning, and I sat in the applicants’ lobby. I was sitting on the couch, and this girl I’m talking about came, and sat in the farthest corner of the lobby. I transferred next to her, and she smiled at me. She was indeed pretty.

         I was combing my one full heck of straw hair when she approached me and borrowed a pen from me. I lent her my pen, and I introduced myself. She was surprised when she heard my name, because we have the same name. Wow. And we’re both nineteen and big, ala Jordin Sparks. Kidding.

         We talked as if we knew each other for a very long time already, and she was really, really nice. She went up first for the interiew, and she made ir. Unfortunately, I ddin’t make it. But I didn’t feel depressed, because I was immune, I think. Haha.

        We had lunch together, and we went back for her final interiew. I left her in Convergys because I have to go somewhere else. I applied in telecare, and that’s the easiest interview I’ve ever experienced. It’s not that the interviewer was stupid, but I felt so confident. It’s just like volleyball, the good service is all in the matter of confidence.

         I made friends with some few people, and I was prettty perky that time, I could say. I don’t know why, but maybe, it’s the effect of depression. Haha. There’s this French dude who was always rejected by all call center agencies. Wow, it is really hard for him.

        I was scheduled for the exam the next day, and I passed it also. But they found out that I’m not done yet with school. For God’s sake, I’m only nineteen. Whoa, I almot got hired. I just went home. Sigh.
