Thoughts of the day…

August 10, 2004

I was listening to Mix FM on the way to college and the topic of the morning is that would you choose your husband from a reality show ala The Bachelor. My answer would be a resounding NO! What’s the point then? All you see is the best side of him, and you wouldn’t be able to really see him as he was.

All the ‘dates’ and what not that you go out would seem a farce, with the camera taking every shot. How would you know what he’s like?

Good night.

MY NAME IS CLEARED!

August 10, 2004

*Phew!* Finally!

I finally found out why I failed. And yes, I already expected that I failed because my marks were low, not because I plaglarised (sp?). Though my parents will probably scream blue murder at me, but at least my name is cleared.

And Mom will probably scream at me because I failed. So what? At least I’m not accused of doing something I didn’t do. WHOPEE!

She finally did it!

I can’t believe it! Lilian Too finally tripped herself up! She said that evidence of feng shui is anecdoctal, and that there is no proof of it. Sigh… I wonder if people reading this will be able to accept it. Feng shui works on beliefs, and there is no reason (if you want to do it anyway) to use simply the feng shui symbols ’sanctioned’ by Lilian Too. After all, if you can use Santa Claus, why not use a potrait of Jesus instead, which is infinetely more beautiful? :)

Respect

August 5, 2004

Respect, as many have often said, must be earned, and once it’s gone, like trust, it is difficult to regain. However, there are some people that automatically ‘must’ have a person’s trust and respect. Parents and the guardians. What happens though, when the parents lose that trust? No, I am not referring to incest and abuse (only abuse of power). Those are heinous crimes, and I’ll cover them later.

What follows here will be a rant with not much relevance to the above topic. Please skip if you don’t want to read it.

I’m talking about parents who seem to think that they have the right tomake their children into puppets simply because they are the ones who have ‘brought’ the kids up. My mother, though I hate saying this, has a certain claim to that right. She was there for most of my life.

My father on the other hand, is an absentee father. He was never there, and when he was, he was only there for my mom and brother. Is there any real reason I should respect him? He seems to think that simply because he has a penis, he should be the one in control. For those who know me pretty well, do you see WHY I’m a feminist?

I would be the first one to say that not all men are like my father. Most of them are kind and nice. However, my father is one of those who seems to think I owe HIM a favour simply because I disappointed HIM. Please! He can disappoint me and expect to get away with it? This, coming from a man who could not even attend his daughter’s first concert?

Some people don’t deserve to die. He doesn’t, mainly because think his insurance isn’t paid up. If he dies, everything else goes.

I just got my toe nail taken out today. The funny thing was, the procedure itself didn’t hurt, but the jab did. OUCH!
