call me outdated, but yeah, i was just able to finish reading Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella recently. and i also wasn't able to watch the movie (boo!)
ok. can i say that it was a stressful read? it was! sorry, but i was personally annoyed at rebecca bloomwood (the book's main character) for the most part. i mean, of course almost every woman would LOVE to shop and buy all these glamorous branded stuff. and it's ok to splurge every now and then. but seriously, would you die if you won't be able to get that Denny & George discounted scarf? or would you instantly love a bowl that you previously found hideous just because it appeared in a magazine? or would you force yourself to like a guy just because he is worth $25 million? (ok, so maybe some would actually do this, but nevertheless!) oh, and all the palusot she had to come up with to save her neck. and the pa-impress pero style bulok antics? stressful, i tell you.
buti nalang she was able to do some good in the end. i was hoping though that sophie kinsella would dwell more on the "fighting for what's right" part instead of rebecca's palpak-ness. well, maybe she did it for character build-up, i don't know.
i do admire sophie kinsella (Madeleine Wickham in real life) in one thing though. she is previously a financial journalist, and now she's writing kikay chick-lits! oooh astig! i wish i'd be able to do that too!
