Emo Whatever

For some unknown reason i could not sleep in my room alone anymore. It's either i'd have Uni (our pet Shih Tzu) spend the night in my room or i'd ask Shapot (our youngest kid in the house) to fix his mattress on my floor so that he'd sleep in my room. Is it only because i'm going through a phase or am i simply growing backwards? I hope not the latter.

Emo whatever..

It was one boring moment in my office when my colleague cracked a silly thought asking us: "Who do you think is the most "emo" among the emo bands? I looked at her and found her lips about to utter the same band that popped right in my head - "My Chemical Romance". We both said it out loud. And there, my signature grenade-launcher-laugh got us all started that morning. I don't even know why the hideous laugh. I just found the name so pathetic. And silly.

What do you know? I might be just as emotional as these silly guys are. Believe me, i can stare at any white wall as long as i want and i can give anyone a blank face for a doughnut.

I wonder why.

But i'm happy i've been working much more efficiently nowadays. I hope this'll go on forever.

A Duet With A Dog

I was brushing my teeth while staring at my face in the mirror, trying to multitask by meticulating how huge my pores have become. I was brushing real hard (that's how i usually do it), i bet you can hear how hard and loud the bristles have been srubbing even my ruby-red gums off. I was engrossed at the moment. No distractions, all alone in the bathroom, when, at that same moment, the sound of the bristles scrubbing my teeth became as sonorous that it went way up by several decibels! Suddenly, i felt i was inside a huge theater, rehearsing some broadway piece with a chorus. I looked around me. Lo and behold, a furry dog was on the floor staring up at me, panting so loud, tongue all-out. It was Uni.

Meet Uni, our newest pet Shih Tzu, the sweetest dog i've ever met. Half a decade ago i purchased my first dog (a female, yellow Labrador Retriever, who's still with me right now), that back then i have never settled my eyes on any other dog except her. She was lovely. I loved her, she loved me, we were happy. Until, i met Uni. Of course nothing will replace my first dog. We are still what we were before, but i just could not refuse to talk about this new one. Who else would care keeping you company when you're mundanely brushing your teeth? While you're all quiet reading a book? She's such a doll. She's an epitome of that creature which we always believe can move and change hearts, a creature that selflessly offers friendship without expecting anything in return. What's more to tell? It is that everyone in my family, even the worst dog-haters among us began considering Uni a sweetheart. Amazing, isn't it?
