I decided to stay at the house the whole day and watch House season 4. I felt hunger pangs at close to 2pm and decided to cook Maggi noodles soup for lunch. Again…who knew that one small pack of noodles could feed two girls?
While waiting for the food to cook, we loaded the washing machine with our laundry, trying to remember Rodel’s instructions the previous night.
Confession: this is the first time I’ve ever operated a washing machine. I have used my hands for laundry my whole life.
After I had set two steaming bowls on the table, we realized that we had run out of water to drink. So we walked towards Fair Price across the street and replenished our stock, discovering that the price of 2 bottles or 3 were the same. Naturally, we grabbed a third bottle, and also a small tub of ice cream, a bag of chips and a bottle of ketchup.
While watching House, several people dropped messages on YM but I chose to ignore them, so engrossed was I. Several people have commented that when I’m reading a book, I get so lost in it that I could not be disturbed. That is also applicable to me when I’m watching a show that I am so into, like CSI or House, which you need to really pay attention to or else you would not understand what is happening. I remember how back in my College days, I put our phone off the hook every Monday nights from 9-10, while Charmed was up.
I have the inability to stay focused on more than one thing at a time. And when I listen, I like to listen with my entire being, so it would not be fair to entertain callers when my focus was elsewhere.
Back to House, it still hasn’t lost its magic for me. I found really amusing the way he chose his new team like a reality TV show elimination. The season ended with me in tears.
If there’s anything this show has proven more than once, it is that it’s possible to love seemingly evil people. First impressions can be so dead wrong. So looking forward to season 5!
