So I decided to click on a random Grey's episode to watch an hour ago.
I just finished watched Grey's Anatomy; Season 5 Episode 14, Beat your heart out.
Every Grey's episode I have watched thus far has always had the ability to make me tear/cry.
Even when I'm watching it for the second time.
Anyway, in this show there is a character, Virginia Dixon. She is a surgeon with Asperger's syndrome.
I also happen to be reading 'House Rules' by Jodi Picoult. Her story has a teenager with Asperger's as the main character.
Well that doesn't really matter.
So in this Grey's episode Dixon mentions that "Cows are squeezed tightly in a chute before they're slaughtered. The chute applies intense pressure, resulting in decreased pulse rate, and muscle tone." This chute calms the cows down.
This was observed by Temple Grandin at her aunt's ranch.
Temple Grandin is a woman who was diagnosed with autism but that is just one of the things that defines her. There was an HBO movie made about her which was how I found out about her and researched her (okay, basically I Google-d her name =/ ).
Anyway, I find her very interesting. I'm really not good with the words. This post might probably be confusing.
Anyway I happen to chance upon an article online. Just a small section on 'How to think like an animal' by Temple Grandin.
I'm amazed by her work.
I'll end with a quote that is about an issue that I've been thinking about for a very long time.
"I think using animals for food is an ethical thing to do, but we've got to do it right. We've got to give those animals a decent life and we've got to give them a painless death. We owe the animal respect."
—Temple Grandin

I had the best day. I really liked today.
Haven't felt so ...free in a long time.
Crazy Li Jing treated me to dinner.
$$$$$ I SWEAR SHE IS CRAZY. SHE IS ALSO SUCH A GOOD FRIEND. Thoughtful friend :)
Thank you so much for asking me out :)
Had such a great time. Talking so much. I wish we could have stayed a little longer.
It was so great to have someone listen to you and understand you. It's great to have someone to pour your thoughts out to.
Right now she's the only one who knows what's been cooking up in my head.
Tried a new hotpot restaurant today. I honestly thought I wouldn't like it. But it was something different :)
After that, walked around and sat down to chatchatchat.
Love you bitch <3

Some of the stuff that's in my head that I wanna blog about:
- Temple Grandin
- ACRES
- Paulo Coelho
- To be or not to be...(you'll know soon enough)
- News article about a family that prayed for world peace
MEREDITH: "Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."

It's just so much easier and harder to tell the truth.
Wish I could blurt everything.
But, for some reasons, I can't.
I have so much I want to post about.
I don't wanna say wait for it because then I prolly won't end up doing it.
In any case, I have missed you so.

The Top 20 Things Oprah Knows for Sure
1. What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what. (This is my creed.)
2. You define your own life. Don’t let other people write your script.
3. Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.
4. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. (A lesson from Maya Angelou.)
5. Worrying is wasted time. Use the same energy for doing something about whatever worries you.
6. What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe.
7. If the only prayer you ever say is thank you, that will be enough. (From the German theologian and humanist Meister Eckhart.)
8. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give.
9. Failure is a signpost to turn you in another direction.
10. If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.
11. Trust your instincts. Intuition doesn’t lie.
12. Love yourself and then learn to extend that love to others in every encounter.
13. Let passion drive your profession.
14. Find a way to get paid for doing what you love. Then every paycheck will be a bonus.
15. Love doesn’t hurt. It feels really good.
16. Every day brings a chance to start over.
17. Being a mother is the hardest job on earth. Women everywhere must declare it so.
18. Doubt means don’t. Don’t move. Don’t answer. Don’t rush forward.
19. When you don’t know what to do, get still. The answer will come.
20. ”Trouble don’t last always.” (A line from a Negro spiritual, which calls to mind another favorite: This, too, shall pass.)

Most of the times, we ask our people(friends, family, blah) about something and we ask them to choose for us, to pick one.
But the thing is we almost always already have an answer in the back of our minds.
All we need in the push in the right direction. All we need is the acceptance, I guess, ultimately, from the people we admire, respect and love.
Sometimes it helps that our loved ones are on board and on the same track as us. Or at least that they support us in the track that we pick for ourselves.
----------------------------------------
On an unrelated note (I think, actually not so much) , the relationship you have with your parents or with your guardians is crucial. It determines the relationships you have with other people in your life. It does, be it in a good or bad way.
Which reminds me of a song and a singer whose songs I haven't listened to in months.
Anyway I have been watching and re-watching Mad Men.
That show taught and has been teaching me quite a bit.
How screwed people can get when they don't have a loving, 'whole' family.
And if you observe carefully you'll see just how child-like and childish some of the adults are behaving, just by their expressions and mannerisms. It always leaves me in awe.

The problem is simple.
Actually I don't really have an issue to worry about.
Most of the times, this is the case.
You gotta make a choice.
Money or Passion?
Reputation or Opportunity?
I've made my choice.
And it is the latter of both questions.
I'm excited and nervous.
I hope I get to seize this wonderful opportunity.
Not to mention it'll do wonders for me in the future!
:D
I am veryvery happy or rather, content! :D
