Anthology of Snippets

babies grow up so fast. in a blink of an eye, you suddenly find them figuring out ways for them to walk, or to get what they want.

look at my little girl. over 11 months ago, she was but a small, teeny, tiny little baby who i could carry with just one hand. now, i have to use my other hand as a support while carrying her, otherwise i fear i might break my already semi-broken back. heh! all she would do then was sleep, cry, eat, and roll around a bit. nowadays, she has her father’s moodswing, an often sunny disposition, a very healthy appetite (which she has a penchant for the sweet stuff), she really wants to start walking already, and constantly tries to get her own way. then, i would constantly try to stimulate her mind and teach her a lot of things, but now, she learns a lot on her own. *sigh*

i feel like i have just taken a nap, and now my little girl is waking me up to see how much she’s grown in such a short time. to mark her achievement and development, she will be celebrating her first birthday in less than two weeks. this little girl, who has become my world, and the very reason of my existence is growing up! and there is nothing i can do about it. once ive told dhirrac that she will always be my little princess… and she will be. but i have to face the facts that she is ending this year, and is about to step into another one. and, well, i couldnt be prouder.

… and there are men who are somewhat too egotistic for their own good. i mean, sure, every body has that little something called an ego in them, even women i presume. but it sure is surprising, and a little truthful i guess to find how sensitive some men can be with regard to their wounded ego.

lets take for example, a guy we call “the shark.” now, the shark is a pretty hmmm handsome(?) guy. well not drop-dead gorgeous, anyway. but he has looks, il give him that. now, the shark said he had eyes on a good friend of mine for some time now. he said that it was just admiration (because he has been commited to somebody for 6 years now) but he would like to get to know her or text her – or something. this actually surprised me because he was committed – probably about to be married, and yet he’s trying to contact somebody he admired for years. maybe i just dont understand the logic behind his acts, but he said that there was nothing wrong with it. for me, i find nothing wrong with having crushes and being in a relationship. what i do find disturbing is feeding the admiration or doing something about it. admiration is admiration for me, and if you admire somebody, that’s fine and dandy, as long as you dont do anything about it. but the shark did something about it. he contacted my friend through cellphone, asking if it would be okay if he texted her or that they communicate once in a while. my friend politely declined, saying that it may not be a good idea to do so.
