KAtuu

I was just thinking, if meteorites crashed on Earth and the byproducts are lakes... are those lakes extraterrestrials?

I read a cool book that I've had since ages about aliens and it turned out that there's this one lake in Chile, high up in the Andes that was believed to be created by a meteor crash, a meteor that is believed to have come from the fifth planet.

In the present state, the fifth planet from the sun is Jupiter, but between Mars and Jupiter is an asteroid belt. The author is wildly postulating, but he wrote that the asteroid belt is what remained of the original fifth planet, before it exploded about ten thousand years ago and send a couple of good sized rocks on Earth.

Scientists vetoed the idea, saying that the base of the lake is highly magnetized, making it possible for any living things to evolve.

But what if the entire fifth planet is magnetized? And its organism are in fact, alive in the lake? It is said that even until now, there is no evidence of living things (on this planet) to be found in the lake. No fishes, nothing.

Interesting ey?

Treem was annoyed that I chose to read the book during my time at his barbershop. If given a choice, I'd wanted to set the book aside on a cutomer's lap and read it while I shampoo, but that'll get me fired.

The job's okay. I get paid by cash ever Sunday so it is more than good. My boyfriend is still in town. He has another production gig in two weeks time.

December is coming to a close. Last night it rained. We sat huddled under a warm blanket at the balcony of his apartment, looking out at Klang Valley nightlife. I said, "What's the most important thing you feel you have to do before 2004 goes?" and he said, "Breaking up."

I didn't probe him. My silence was a nod of my head, and instictively we both knew what was coming. Even at 19, I never wanted a relationship or a commitment of any kind. Now a couple of years later, I still feel the same. I have a lot of things to achieve, and I'm still too godamned young to be tied to anyone.

The candles on the bedside table burned out not soon after, but it was hot and heavy all through the night.

Was this book Christopher Pike's 'Monster' by any chance? ;)
