Rant & Raves

During the weekend, we took Fluffy [here and here] to Starbucks @ Ikano Power Center. Generally speaking, we are all used to Fluffy getting all the attention whenever we are at the Starbucks, but that day, something magical happened…

There was this Indian guy kept looking at Fluffy, and suddenly, he came over to us and ask for our permission to touch Fluffy. Being friendly and kind like us, we agreed and he was touching and playing with Fluffy, and then there was this Australian lady came over as well and asked for permission. Not 5 seconds passed and an Indian kid appeared and was touching Fluffy as well. I looked back and saw a lot of people were standing near the window (we were sitting outside, the only place that Starbucks allow us to sit with our pets), looking at Fluffy.

I thought to myself, “Damn! Now we are like those animals in the zoo.”

The Indian guy then asked for our permission to take a photo of Fluffy and again, we agreed. He went back to his backpack and took out one big ass SLR digital camera (I believe its an Olympus, but don’t know what is the model) and started asking Fluffy to pose for him.

Unfortunately, Fluffy was a bit camera-shy on that day.

Anyway, I asked the gentleman to give me a copy of the picture and here are the pictures. Enjoy!

These pictures were taken before Fluffy got his grooming session, and he looked damn good!

Maybe I should promote Fluffy to some modeling agency and then Fluffy can become a dog-model. Hell, he might become the face of a few international brands!

Tomorrow is Fluffy’s birthday. Yup, he was borned on October 10th, 2004 so he will be 2 years old tomorrow!

The sweet baby taking a nap….

Now, how can you say NO to such an angel?

We were planning for something, like a birthday party for him. But we got too busy over the weekend that we didn’t have enough time to send out invitations, so right now we will have to think of something for celebration.

He has been having some skin problems due to the heat lately, so we have clipped his hair really short. He is recovering quickly, and even the vet said, “Wow! He is really a strong boy. He woke up really fast from the sedation.”

Hopefully there will be many more years to come to celebrate with Fluffy The Great!

When your girlfriend/wife is asking you something like an island, or remotely close to that, you have to be very careful because that will be a big trap and once you get strangle by the web of trap, it will be very difficult to get out, no matter what your excuse/reason is.

Example:

GIRL: “If we have an island, but only big enough for 2 more person beside you, who will you bring?”
BOY: “When will this take place?”
GIRL: “Huh?”
BOY: “Ya, when will we be going to that island?”
GIRL: “Let’s say early next year.”
BOY: “Okay, why do we need to go to that island?”
GIRL: “Let’s assume that we have earned enough money and we bought that island, and then we just wanted to get away from this place.”
BOY: “Oh…. okay….”
GIRL: “So? Who will you bring?”
BOY: “Well, I will definitely bring you.”
GIRL: “And the next person?”
BOY:[scratching head] “Then I will bring my mom. She gave birth to me and spent so many years to keep up to my crap…[message truncated]”
GIRL:[looked at her pet racoon] “How about him? He’s our son!”
BOY: “Yeah, you said two person, and racoon is an animal, and there’s no limit on how many animals we can bring.”
GIRL: “Okay, any 2 living things you can bring.”
BOY: “In that case, I will let you, racoon and my mom go. I will stay back, work harder to earn more money, and make sure the next island we buy will accomodate more living things.”
GIRL:[started to walk away] “Okay…”

Clearly, logic doesn’t win the case here. Reason doesn’t win the case here. The only winning way is to say what she wants to hear, like “Oh, just you and me, and our pet racoon.” It’s just the same as if-me-and-your-mom-fell-into-the-sea question.

See, in the first place, men will ask for additional information like when, how, why, and etc to clearly define out the logic and scenario, and then we will start looking at a solution. Then we deduct the answer from logic and then answer the way we see it.

Unfortunately, logic doesn’t work on women. Just say what they want to hear!

If they are holding two dress, one white and one blue, and ask you which one they should wear, you gotta be smart on this. If you think white is better, keep your fucking mouth shut. Normally women already have a decision in their mind, and asking you is just to confirm their decisions. They wanted to make sure they are making the right choice.

If you say, “Take the white one.” You are fucked.
If you say, “Take the blue one.” You are also fucked.
If you say, “Anything.” Then congratulation, you are fucked upside down, inside out.

Instead, try this. “Honey, it is a difficult choice. Both also compliment you very well, but I personally would choose white.”

If she smiles, goes in to change, then congratulations! You just made it.

But, if she says, “Well, I was thinking of the blue dress.”

Now, don’t press the panic button yet. Be calm, smile, and say, “Yes, of course honey, the blue dress will be a good choice. It compliments your skin tone, bring our the color of your hair and make your eyes sparkle.”

Trust me, if you want to speed things up, use the method above. Otherwise you will have to wait for another 30 minutes before she will decide which dress to wear.

(Luckily Maria doesn’t ask me which dress to wear. She has excellent fashion sense that she made the decision herself.)
