it suddenly struck me why i like to read the tabloids. it is not becuase i like to stick my nose into celebrities' private lives. it is because i need tabloids to bring me back to earth. to remind me that what i see on the tv/movie screens are fiction. they are man-made. they are not real. that in reality, some of the things i wish existed do not really exist. and that some things i hope do not exist really don't. yes, things like the moment when he holds your hand that can make the whole world spin around you while the 2 of you stay rooted to the ground. the moment whereby he only needs to cast a glance at you and you get overwhelmed by the rush of sweetness. all in all, the happily-ever-after. at least tabloids keep my drama fantasies in check. :)
