V Is For Vegetarian, and Of Being One

was listening to Fly FM this morning and the topic was on becoming a vegetarian to save the world based on a report released by UN. the feedback from the public thru phone calls was really funny and i couldnt stop laughing!


first of all, allow me to say kudos to all vegetarians and vegans out there! you guys are special! ok maybe we are considered freaks but hey we are freaks for a good cause rite? ;p *punches air yeahh~!*



well personally i've been a vegetarian for 7 years (and counting) and i wouldn't say i hadn't been thru jeers, taunts and even sarcasm. let's see what are some of the remarks i get.



"You? Vegetarian? But whyyyyyy~~??? *the stunnest look i've ever seen in my life*" (ok and also the longest why i've heard too!)


"...ahh but you are missing out the good things in life!". followed by a pitiful look. =.=


"Its NOT HEALTHY!! Your diet is not balanced!"


"You won't get enough proteins!". That's the most common feedback.


"What the heck are you doing in a non-vegetarian restaurant???"


"Ohhhh poor thing...then you must have had a limited variety of food..! Its only vegetables..."



like seriously. it isn't that tough placing special requests for vegetarian meals in a non-vegetarian restaurant rite? *laughs* i don't seem to experience bouts of feeling deprived of exquisite dishes. so u can't possibly say that i'm missing out the good things in life. in fact i've even learnt to see things on a whole new perspective!


all the hullabaloo about having not enough proteins? i'm thru with them. if meat is the main source of proteins then where do the proteins come from for cows and goats and gazelles and giraffes? obviously there has to be some source for them.



ohh check out the following celebrities.



Ginnifer Goodwin.

Carrie Underwood.

Bryan Adams.

Alicia Silverstone.

they're all vegetarians/vegans. so what's there not to be a vegetarian? =)

i could go on and on but i'll leave this post at this for now.

and this post has a special dedication to Yong, an ex-colleague and close friend who also happens to be a vegetarian for the longest years that i've known. thank you for your enthusiasm in hunting down new vegetarian eateries and for standing strong to your beliefs!

Being Free and Letting Go

listening to Josh Groban's Don't Give Up (You Are Loved). damn nice. if there is one song that i wish a guy could sing to me it would be this one.

of course it would be testing his vocals range too hiak hiak hiak i iz evil~ xD


but the fact is that i love that song so much! ok not embarassed to admit it but i shed TEARS the first time i heard it. T.T


anyway back to topic now.

*******************************************************



yeah letting go. forgot where i heard this phrase but its quite meaningful.


"when one door of opportunity closes another opens"


or something like that lah i think. quite true actually. realised that i've been racing thru life these days without really pausing a while to catch my breath. i need a break. just cleared my thoughts and found that i've been holding on to too many things.


*letting them go*


ahh..that feels better. i missed the feeling of being free, the feeling that makes u want to race in the meadow and dance in the sun and sing in the wind.


i found that my eyebags and panda eyes are getting worse. i found that my white hair count has increased. and the lines under my eyes are becoming more evident. i don't wanna age prematurely~!!



that's it. imma go sing dance jump laugh and be carefree today. dispose of all the rubbish thoughts to make space for fresh ones! =)
