Ovulating

I don't party too often these days, but lately I feel my desire to go out for drinks escalates. Maybe it's that time of the month. Funny that, usually I'd get horny or get shopaholic symptoms... I guess in a way it is a bit like going back to your animalistic behaviour. I'm ovulating, therefore I'm looking for a mate.

Please don't take me literally. I'm not looking to get laid...
I'm just crazy bored, waiting to go home. It's been a long day.

A chance in life

A mate of mine told me about the Tony Abbott affair yesterday. A Health Minister for the Australian government who found a son he gave up for adoption 27 years ago, only to lost it again some short time after, because his then girlfriend apparently had a one-night stand with another man during the possible time of conception.

It brought up some adoption related issues to the surface. When you gave your baby for adoption, do you have the right to meddle into the child's life in the future? Even if only in the form of establishing contact? What rights do birth parents have after they give up the child?

Tony Abbott and his then girlfriend thought that they gave up a child. For 27 years, he wondered about his long lost son. He believed that he should not try to find him, unless the son wanted to find his birth parents. I think he's on the money...

Being a biological parent doesn't entitle you to claim ownership at a child's life. Especially once you've made the decision to give your baby up for adoption. I think what being a biological parent gives you, is a chance to take part in the wonderfully challenging and complicated world of parenthood. And like everything in life, you don't always have a second chance.

You take it and pray that you don't screw up.

Sick as a dog

I took a sickie yesterday to spend some time with my girlfriends who will be leaving for US tomorrow. Darn! I got a real sickie. Whilst I was supposed to be having fun, I was flying in and out of consciousness. I had a good time, but I could have better time. And today I was forced to go in to the office, simply for pure sense of responsibility. Oh, wouldn't it be easier if I just be a totally unresposible person; not a care in the world...

But hey, today my new JBL on tour speaker arrives from Singapore. Yay! It's a beautiful mini portable speaker. Sigh. I love technology.

Random Conversation

On Thursday, I had the most fun with the greatest conversations ever...

E : When you reach enlightement, you face a problem with intellect. You see them fresh..
R : I think you should be a Buddhist. Because they never fight with each other, they promote kindness to everyone
C1: After you reach enlightement? Then what...
R : Drinking water is sexual pleasure.
C1: What?
R : Yeah, sexual as in pleasure for the senses not sexual the fornication kind
T : I didn't use to, but I began to like Kirsten Dunst
E : No one is on the same league with Sean Connery in ageing. No one beats the Lauren Bacall, Monica Belucci..

They're random and even when you're there they still hard to follow. These conversations required serious intellect and it was very nice to see so many of them on display. You just have to be there..

I'll never drink water the same way again.. :)
