butterfly.

Just a little something that I wanna talk about.

Couples who celebrate anniversaries.

No offense meant here but just my two cents.

I know I find it weird that some couple celebrate their anniversaries ALL the time. One month, 6 months or 1 year anniversaries are okay. But don't you think it gets kinda weird when people start having 88 days or 5 months or 1 year 1 month 1 day anniversaries??

Honestly I think most people celebrate anniversaries cause they wanna use it as an excuse to dress up and go for a fancy dinner. Or even just so that their significant other will buy them a present that 'means something'.

Should I ever get myself into a relationship, anniversaries will not be the "YES!! We've made it this far!!" event but the "THANK YOU!! You have made my life that much happier."

make me.

Did you know that it's possible to write an ENTIRE book of over 50,000 words without the use of the letter E?

*GADSBY* the book that seemed impossible.

It was written in 1939 by Ernest Vincent Wright.

Quite cool no?

leave of absence.

Interesting thought.

You know how in French 'I Love You' is Je t'aime?

Technically aime is the word for like. While amour is the word for love.

So why don't people just say J'amour??

Okay, while for those who know French will know that armour is a noun and therefore can't be used to express the feeling of love, wanna hear my reasoning? Yes I know my train of thought might not always be easy to follow but hey, I think it makes sense.

French is the language of love. Yet it's ironic how they technically say 'I Like You' instead of 'I Love You'. But I think they're smart that way. It may be deemed the language of love but in truth in reveals what love really is. Non existent. More likely that someone actually likes a person instead of being in 'love' with another person. No?

Oh well. I might change my opinion but I highly doubt so.

spring.

Hmm, not sure whether people out there know but there's this TV series called Dollhouse.

It's about this organization that produce "Dolls" who are basically normal people who have had their memories wiped so that they can be programmed with a desired personality. So if you wanna hire an assassin then they'll program one for you and so forth. Quite an interesting series.

But that's beside the point.

The point is that I've found out that there is actually a company similar to this series in reality.

In Japan, there's a company called Hagemashi Tai a.k.a I Want to Cheer Up Limited.

You can 'rent' pets which you can take for walks and stuff if you want. About $10 an hour. That's just for pets though. You can also rent people. Cool right? You can rent actors to pretend to be your relative at a wedding or funeral. Or even for single mums who need a father figure for their kids or for young women who wanna experience a 'marriage'. Yup.

Two articles about it *HERE* and *HERE*

forget it.

Let's pose a hypothetical situation.

You're in your car driving down a road at night coming back from some outing at a shopping complex. Suddenly out of nowhere a drunk driver speeding crashes right into your car at the passenger's side.

Your car is crushed beyond recognition but you're still alive. You crawl out of the car using only the strength of one hand seeing as your other looks like it's in a funny position. As you reach for your handphone to call a family member you also realise that your back seems to be getting wetter and wetter with the blood that's spilling out of your head. You call your mother. No answer. So you have no choice but to call your father to come help.

He picks up the phone and you try to tell him in as little words as possible your situation cause you feel yourself getting short of breath. Now it's his turn to reply.

Which reply to you think is more realistic?

"I know you're not okay but everything's going to be fine. I'll rush over there as fast as I can."

or

"WHAT!!! YOU CRASHED THE CAR! Do you know how much that car costs? Does it look like it's possible to get the car fixed cause I'm not forking out any more money to get you another car."




Not sure bout you people out there. But I am positive I know which is more realistic for me.
