Pages Turned

Heard of this Gary Chapman book for a long while and even knew these five love languages well enough to tell others what sorta book was this... BUT I never read the book until last night.

I thought I knew my love language :p boy, was I wrong.

The book has a comprehensive questionnaire to assess one's love language. But if you wish to find out now under 30-sec, here's a quick assessment available online.

Archie Andrews is getting married!

I was pleasantly surprised to read the headline "Archie Andrews is getting married!" in MSN Live today.

Archie comics or the tales from Riverdale were part of my growing up years. If listening to Mandarin/Canto songs was my Chinese-language "teacher", then THIS was my English teacher :p

Archie comics were imported stuff, so having them was such a luxury. I remembered pestering my parents to buy them once awhile.. RM10+ for a double digest! To date, I think I owned 20+ digest. Stopped buying them after high school.

So, this indecisive guy named Archie Andrews has finally popped THE question to Veronica Lodge. What?! And left goody-two-shoe Betty Cooper crying?? If you knew them like I do, you would probably have the same respond.. but give credit to him, he has finally made a decision!!

Other amusing characters include the-all-perfect Reggie, gluttony Jughead, kind Ethel, no-brain Moose, feminine Midge, clumsy headmaster Mr Weatherbee and grumpy Ms Grundy, the school janitor and their parents.

The Archies reminded me of my growing up years :)

"First Thing First"

Learnt this phrase years ago from the book "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey. Never had it so haunting in my mind before than lately.

The issue is setting priorities. Can't make good decisions lately due to incapability of prioritizing. I used to be SO clear in my priorities. Mid-life crisis this early?? Younger people are getting chronic diseases nowadays, mid-life crisis is no exception I suppose.

Urgency versus importance. Passion/interest versus practicality.
Weigh well, Erin, and PRIORITIZE!
