Busybusy!!
Prom night's on the 23rd.
I've found a dress, shoes, done my hair
halfway, done my nails,
bought seamless underwear.
(don't laugh!! my dress is quite tight,
later can see underwear lines, very unglam!)
Muahaha.
And...eh..
I'm going to spend about 300 in total.
Counted already.
=(
That can buy half of the nice pink Gucci wallet.
Oh well..
Briefing in school early tmr morning.
8 30am.
I haven't been sleeping much anyway, no diff.
Been waking up at around 9,
then hitting the shops till evening..
then have dinner...watch TV..and then
the whole cycle begins again.
Actually its only been two days
of shopping but since i'm not a fan
of shopping it feels like forever.
I'll much rather cuddle up on the couch
with a good book.Better company
than the exorbitant price tags.
Hmm..
topic..topic..
Got it.
This revelation hit me a couple of days back.
Just didn't have the time to really work it out.
Here's the million dollar question:
Why are we so sad when people die??(someone you love, duh)I know its morbid and the festive season is just
around the corner yadda yadda.
But still!!
Must enlighten people who didn't
know, or never really thought about this.
My say:
Firstly, and obviously,
we grieve because when people
die, the memories haunt you.
All the both of you used to do together,
the relationship, the love, the happiness,
it all perishes together with that person.
The memories stay, but the possibility
of ever visiting your fav. spot together, spending time
together or even just talking is zero.
And that is really sad, esp. when you love that person.
Secondly,
You are used to having that person around.
whether that person is a phone call away,
or a room away, he was always in reach.
But now, out of reach.
Take for instance an old fugly ancient flower vase
that has been in your house for 10 years.
You've been dying to get rid of it.
And when you finally do,
it feels..hollow.
You may even miss it.
And if we'll miss some ugly piece of furniture,
of course we'll miss someone we love dearly,
a thousand-fold.
There are so many more reasons,
I could go on forever.
BUT this is the main reason.
No two people on earth are the same.You may think..so??
Lets use an example:
A woman, sadly, has a miscarriage.
After sometime, she is blessed
with another child.
Although the other child makes her
happy, she'll always remember
and grieve for her lost child.
Why?
Because the two babies are different
kids, with different personalities and traits.
If the two babies were the same,
the new child could have easily replaced
the lost one, and the woman wouldn't
feel sad at all.
Another example:
Sometimes after the death of their pets,
people refuse to get another one, saying
that 'it won't be the same'.
How true.
Each animal is unique.
They behave differently, have quirky traits
and habits of their own, and thus a lost
pet can never really be 'replaced.'
All a new pet can do is to take
your mind off the deceased one.
If someone were to die,
but he can be replaced with
another exact replica of himself,
would you be sad??
The memories go on,
his life goes on.
But if the deceased was a unique
individual, like we all are,
of course people would
grief the loss.
Because each and every person
has a different character and personality
that others have come to love.
And when that person dies,
you know that he can never really truly
be replaced.
And thus, we are sad.
Get it??
That's why clones are not really
a good idea.
K, gotta zzz now!
Bye.
i want to be like you,lie cold in the ground like you,there's room inside for two,and i'm not grieving you anymore.i'm coming for you.
