MSN-less

I think one of the best thing I did recently was to remove my msn account. I don’t suppose you can delete it, so I changed the password to something I absolutely wouldn’t remember. Goodbye to contacts I’ve kept for so many years.

Like my cousin says, it’s not good to hold on and be so attached to what is so material, physical, and temporal. Maybe sometimes we kinda just need to move on so we discover new things. Being away from msn is probably liberating.

By the way muffin has been great. The only downside is that she isn’t as happy a dog as bailey was. Of course she’s great, cute and adorable despite her age and blindness in one eye. I am happy either way. Going to make her some treats because I realised she’s so different from bailey. I think small dogs are meant to be pampered while bigger dogs are happy with or without whatever you have for them. HA!

The only thing I have yet to do is to bring her to a dog run, which I believe I will do so once her skin condition settles a little. Besides that, she’s scratching her ears a lot. They don’t stick and they almost always come out clean when I stick a cotton bud in. I am leaving it for a while while giving her some ear drops to see how it goes.

Urgh.

Brain not working

by jon laa on October 18th, 2010

I thought I should mention muffin has been with us since 8 october 2010. That means she’s here for slightly over a week and it has been both pleasant and not so pleasant.

For the least, paper training is finally working out. But her skin remains an unsolved mystery. Boo. And there’s nail trimming to be done. Boo more.

Oh well, life is a whirlpool cos I’ve decided it to be so. Now I’m late for a medical appointment and I’m kinda just asking for it.

Urgh, back to life. Ttyl.

Going natural

by jon laa on October 15th, 2010

I really can’t believe how any one could have said, “i dont trust natural stuff”. Just because I am applying some unbranded cream on my dog. Okay?

Didn’t the other day you ask me if I could make you a cup of ginger tea while you’re here because your -whatever- was killing you? I’m sorry I didn’t take note of what’s wrong with you but I really don’t see myself keeping here beyond an hour so a cup of ginger tea is too much an effort and will take too long a time for you to consume - taking into consideration that I need to clean the ginger, process it, infuse it with tea and wait for it to cool. No way.

Then when I rejected your offer, you told me it’s okay. Because there’s some apple cider left at home, which for your (readers) information, is given to him by yours truly.

I just don’t understand how can any one has so little understanding of plants with medicinal properties. I don’t understand how can any one belittle lavender, chamomile, and the list goes on. Even tea tree.

And for your information, he uses shampoo with tea tree for his dog. Isn’t it better than to just get your own tea tree and apply it on your dog than to use a shampoo with some tea tree and goodness know how much more preservatives, colouring, fragrance, etc.

Okay. I think everything is worth a try including those unbranded stuff I got from some lady whom a lady I trusted recommend. Even though I don’t think she knows the best of everything or can comprehend where exactly I am coming from, I perfectly trust that her intentions are kind and good.

I like it that the cream for my dog is fit for human use and the tick and flea solution can also be applied on my legs to ward mosquitos off.

Now tell me, how on earth is that a bad idea?

Defining honesty

by jon laa on October 13th, 2010

Urgh, there aren’t just people who are dishonest. There are people who can’t give honest opinion. Disturbing.

And I think it somewhat brings relationships to a new level. I can’t remember how many times I’ve confronted people who say, “not bad” or “it’s okay la”. I don’t think they’re lying per se but when I asked if you like it, it should be a yes or a no.

Just saying “not bad” make a person dishonest but is in itself misleading, especially when it is more bad than not. It doesn’t matter what other thinks or if your opinion makes a difference - it’s still your opinion.

Urgh.

So at the end of the day, I’ve strained relationships. And that’s not as if it really mattered to me. I find myself happier knowing a person better. To guess somewhat doesn’t.

Delaying gratification

by jon laa on October 6th, 2010

I know my cousin has a concept of not buying the best she can afford because it leaves room for gratification.

I know I’ve a box of CDs which I have opened but not listen to. Did read the booklet that comes with it though. But now what’s bothering me is that I’ve the box #2 of the limited edition box set but I don’t have the box #1, which is available on amazon uk. It’s tempting, so tempting.

And you know, I want to get box #1 because it will make my collection seem more complete and also because there is a CD or two I’ll like to have inside. Now tell me - should I or not?

:)

Okay, I need to talk!
