This post is dedicated to Esther. (:

You already know how I feel about you. Haha! Thanks so much for the paper bag of gifts today. I can't wait to watch the Hanakimi episodes. Thanks for sharing the things you like with me, such as the coffee candy and the novel. It means a lot to me.

"You think that he is the perfect guy, and then you marry him, only to find out he is a husband from Hell." - Charmaine

I hadn't meant it as a joke! Maybe I have a knack for saying random thoughts that leave my friends in stitches. Rooooar. Especially the 'husband from Hell'. My choice of words, omg. Whatever. I like making my friends laugh too. Heh. I know we had a discussion about how some adults you knew went through abusive relationships. Scary how we humans distort love, eh?

There's an article I've been meaning to share with everyone on my blog. I shall dedicate it to you, Esther, for I want you to know that true love still exists in today's dog-eat-dog world.

I have always believe that animals possess emotions. This article proved me right.

Photos of two birds are said to have been taken in the Republic of Ukraine where the bird is trying to save his mate. Millions of people cry after watching this picture in America and Europe. It is said that the photographer sold these picture for a nominal price to the most famous news paper in France. And all the copies of that news paper were sold out on the day of publishing these pictures.

Here, his mate injured and the condition was fatal.

Her mate lingers nearby offering solace and eventually he brings food to her. On one of his return trips he finds his mate dead and seems to try to shake her awake and attended to her with love and compassion.

Aware that she is lost to him he cries out in obvious anguish. Every time a car passes, the bird flies off for a moment but then returns to mourn, his heart clearly broken. Shocked at her death, he tried to move her.

Eventually the photographer, concerned for the safety of the living bird, put down his camera, picked up the bird and removed it from the road. The grieving bird lingered in a nearby tree, "crying" out loud with adoring love and reluctant to move on.

No one knew how long he stood beside her and cried. Devastated by the loss.

I would be lying if I said my eyes didn't get watery after reading the article. Me thinks we humans have a long way to go when it comes to love..

I'm flattered you think I'm brave. IMO, I haven't done anything to warrant that praise lol. Still, I'm glad and honoured my actions have given you courage to change the outcome on your side. I had a feeling long ago that things would work out well for you. So don't worry and go with the flow. Some things only come once in a lifetime.

CHARMAINE CHEONG.

I’m a somebody and a nobody. I’m rational and emotional. I’m critical but I’m non-judgemental.

I like my things categorized by types and chronologically. I like taking photos to preserve the moments of my life. I like dystopian literature. I like reading Wikipedia articles at random. I like travelling to foreign lands and seeing the world. I like long conversations over good food. I like pop and classical music. I like guitars. I like cats. I like writing random, mushy letters and notes to the people important to me. I have a whole long list of things that I like, but you’ve got to get to know me better to know them all.
