Haha. Its one lame, teenage-like thought. Or is that kiddy-ish? Well, from time to time I will go back to this kind of thought. I don't know, maybe cuz I want to just think of something less serious, like this one, once in awhile you know? It's tiring to be hearing a lot about the world problems, then about all the dramas happening in your country, then down to the problems faced in the society, then your workplace... then the things you faced daily, or the things others faced in their lives.
Hearing them, then facing them, then thinking about them. Its tiring. Really.
So yeah. If you're an animal, which one would you be?
Cats have always been one of my favorites. Like duh! Especially by reading the content of this blog, or going through tumblr, you'd know =P The sidebar is pretty obvious already too. LOL. Well, they're still my favorites, its just that somehow I blog about them less and less. I have three now at home; Juliet, Marco & Ollie. Maybe you know Ollie, she's Ossy's sister. The pretty one. Yes, she's still alive, Alhamdulillah. Going 6 years now. Which is rare for us, because usually the cats who live with us don't live more than 5 years!
Juliet & Marco is the two new ones we've picked up from the market. They're dying at that point of time, so we tried to safe and yeah, we did =)
Let's save those stories for later shall we? Okay, I don't know when, but I know they could be one of my 'happy stories' that I need to share.
Do I want to be cats?
To be honest? Not really. I don't know why, I want them. I want to have them. I need to have cats at home. But I don't wanna be them. They're interesting. People, such as my mom, always think some of them are stupid. But I think otherwise. Cats, are generally, one of the smartest, cunning, cuutee & curious creatures. Yes, sometimes they appear stupid, but that is just a trick up on their paws people. Its because they're smart that they 'act' stupid. So humans will follow what they want.
Over time, especially for the past few years, I realized that I've grown to love birds. Back then, I remembered making my grandfather feeling guilty because he likes to keep birds at home, caged. I told them they have to be free.., its torturous for them to see the world so wide, yet they can't travel around it. They can't fly.
But that's it. I never find the joy of watching birds, or maybe because they're not that tamed enough for humans to touch, hence why. They're like the fishes... I don't find the joy of watching them too. At first. Now? Not anymore =) They're all calming bunch.
And yeah, somehow I have bird pendants, bird cage pendants, love birds ring... if I'm not mistaken I do have a bird-print shirts. Or just the feathers.
I'm pretty much quite obsessed over birds now.
I still have a dream to own one, but with condition that bird does not need to be caged. You know which bird do I want as pets? An owl. Yes. I want an owl. They're amazing creatures! They're nocturnal, they looked a bit serious but they can be very manja you know? Haih. If only I can own one.
So I associated myself, and my two other friends Aqilah & Ain as the penguins. Why do I like penguins? They're like one of my favorite birds.
Watch "March of the Penguins". Then you'll see, how family-oriented they are. How they'll choose their partner, down to how they keep the egg warm & safe, to how do they find their family after months and months of being apart. How they share the food with their kids. Well the way they move is kinda cute too! And I like how they never forget each other by how their voice sound like. Its amazing, beautiful. MashaAllah.
Then, there's peacocks. Well I know that I like them especially because of their beautiful feathers! But that only applies to the male ones, is it? I am not too sure but if I'm not mistaken, the females do not have those pretty feathers. They're pretty dull. Haha. In animal world, its always the male who has that attractive trait. They're suppose to attract the females. Or is it just the bird's world? Nah I think even fishes are like that. So more than two types of animals.. hence I can generalize now? Heh.
But peacocks seem to be a bit cocky to me. So, yeah, my admiration towards them are only limited towards their beauty. And that's it.
There are other birds that I like too, like you know, pigeons, hornbills, flamingos, parrots, toucans, and I don't know about them that much. But I'm fascinated by their beauty.
Another one, that I love, which I think its quite obvious that most girls love them, would be... surprise surprise, the Swans.
Why? One word. Graceful.
Yes, I know, they can be fierce. At my kampung, I remember briefly that one of my bros was chased by them. HAHA. Kacau lagi.
But still, as you see them move on the water? Do you agree with me now? Oh, and I found this fact..
And it made me love swans even more.
Even earlier this year, when my mom wanted to buy me a Pandora charm for my birthday, we were entitled for one free animal charm. And that's what I've chosen. A swan. And the reason being is that I want to be reminded that, I am graceful or I want to be graceful, and I will live with grace.
I define grace as 'beauty from within'. I want to be looked at and people will see that 'grace' within me. So I have to stripped off those hatred within me, try to be all positive on every aspect of my life. To be more accepting on any madness brought to me, not to be bitter anymore, to have faith in Him, and myself that one day, everyone will see that grace is shining through me. And I'll shine it to those who are around me.
In sha Allah.
Grace is my current favorite word. FYI.
And yeah. Swans :P
