Zimoe, Zowie, Zackal, Zorro, Zump!

Last week was good, went out with a friend of mine, and on the way home she sang me “Lost Without You.” Why good? Because I thought I no longer know the feeling of being pleased. I was wrong.

For you a dear night owl, I’ll keep the movie blog updated, sorry for (keep on) being a slacker. There’s one movie I don’t know how to write its review, I’ll tell you later.

Another friend of mine asked me two nights ago whether I’m allowed to have pets at my place or not. I assumed she knew that already, but she’s smarter than I thought. It’s not the question she really asked because since I said yes, then a few hours later she brought her dog, 4 kittens and 2 cats. They’re all black! She said she had to do this and it’s just gonna be for a while, because she couldn’t think of anything else but bringing them to the Dumbs Friends League. When I tried hard to firmly say NO to her, her niece who’s still 10 years old and very cute gave me her puppy face. Oh well, I hopelessly said Yes.

So it’s been 2 days I’ve been struggling with these monsters. All of their names start with Z letter. The problem is (beside the cats always try to tease “greeny”, my green cute bird and try to break open my fish tank), I can’t remember them all and which one is which. So don’t be surprised if you guys stop by at my place and hear me screaming with all words start with Z. Even now I keep on telling them to “Zump!” instead of “Jump!”

Demanding and Happiness

My friend came by yesterday, bringing up her romantic problems (I know, some of you would scream “Oh Lord, not again!” LoL). She said that she feels that she also did many wrong things that’s why her boyfriend told her that it’s better for them to break up (I hate when people perceive relationship as a right-or-wrong thing). She’s the one who actually decided to break up but later on she changed her mind and called him.

She also admitted that when it comes to her boyfriends, she becomes so demanding. She even said that after it ended, she became more confused and agitated, even can’t sleep by herself that I had to let her sleep at my place last night. I asked her to face that this has become a pattern in her life. She broke up with some guys caused by the same problems. And on a different case, another friend of mine threw a question “it’s OK to be demanding, but on what degree and how severe?”

And to talk about it, the ‘demanding’ thing actually is not a real problem, either. What’s the root, then ? Oh well, like the latest Will Smith’s movie title, I believe it’s all about to pursue the happiness.

When we’re all happy from within, are we gonna be still demanding things or stuff from other people? Isn’t it scary when we expect that others will give (or should I say, ‘borrow’?) us a small piece of happiness? I’m afraid it’s true, when many people say love becomes cold, happiness has to be fabricated from outside of our heart, dedicated through material things and visible objects.

And when can we pursue our own happiness? When people give it to us? when people fulfill our expectations? When we achieve all our goals in life? When our insecurity issues have to be solved by putting all our high standards on their head? Godspeed.
