Not The Post That You Want To Read

Christmas is around the corner. Lovely lights, green fir trees and brightly wrapped presents under it. What else could be better aye? *grins* the roast chicken in the oven, the untold number of dishes on the table, and of course, the liquor and the companionship that you enjoy:)

And then there's the point where you sorta bought the wrong size shirt for Dad, the wrong colour socks for Mom, the wrong video game for Bro, and the wrong colour iPod for the Sis. But no matter, they'll love you for it, and give you the wrong watch design that you have been craving.

So be happy alright? It's not all that bad. I'm not asking you to be contented or stay in that rut that you are finding yourself in or anything. But for once a year, perhaps there is a little bit more to be happy about. Maybe there is a silver lining.


Reminds me of a story.

There's this kid called Daourt. You see, he's just a normal kid, like you and me. He loves the holidays and he loves the people around him. He loves food, and he loves getting presents. You should have little bit more faith in people like him.

He's been bounced around from foster home to foster home, loving people - but never getting anything in return. Blew every cent he earns on the people that are around him, but they will never thank him, they curse him for the lousy crap he'd gotten them.

He loves food, but he never really gets anything decent, maybe a few scraps every now and then, but hey, he's thankful for everything. The part where he loves getting presents? Yea, that's true, there's a small detail missing, he's never gotten one.

Faith. The very stuff that they teach in religion and in virtues and denounce in terrorist camps. The very foundation of the relationship in this world is based on that. I hate to see that a kid, with no proper education, no love in his life, no guidance, no spark - would dare to gamble on the human race more than anyone who has ever had a hug in their lives.

So why not? Take that little step, take that little leap. Go hug someone. *as long as it isn't me, i'm good with it*

*beams*


And oh oh, it's my turn to take good care of Prickly this time. You can see the joy on his face when he's riding the train for the first time:)



Cheers people!

P.S. Did i mention that i find green tea strangely addictive? Not the sushi king kind, the one that you make yourself. Oh well:)
