10 Promises to my Dog

This movie is major tear-jerker. It's not a movie just for dog lovers, as there is a strong emphasis on the Family as well.

It's so true. Our lives revolve around so many people and things. But to a dog, you mean the world to him. He was taken away from his own family from young to live with us. If we don't love him and treat him well, who will?

Thank you Greeny for the VCD and for recommending this movie to me! I'm certain this will not be the last time I'm watching it.

And this has definitely made me want to treasure my family and Fluffy more.

I hereby pronounce my life dead.

When my friends asked me what I have been doing for the past few weeks, I didn't know what to answer them. I don't even recall doing anything productive. Okay maybe one. I did the dishes, twice? I'm beginning to feel like a pig. My days involve sleeping and eating and occasionally going out. I feel like a useless bum in the family.

As if the above isn't bad enough. My mood is like a volcano nowadays. I think it's the effect of being cooped up at home for too long. Now I understand why Fluffy hides under the bed and makes angry noises when he doesn't get his walks the third day in a row.

And when I get to step out of the house, I also grumble. Because I'm such a pathetically poor person. Whenever I think of the mountain of debt I have to settle once I graduate, I sigh, like an old man. Sigh.....

I really don't dare to think too far ahead. I don't even dare to think about year 3, when all my friends will be going overseas for exchange, when I will be stuck all alone in this cold, hard reality. The thought of these make me shudder.

But this is the real world. No one waits for you, when there are better opportunities out there. You have to fend for yourself. I'm finally beginning to understand the true meaning of independence. Perhaps this will be a chance for me to see how independent I can get. I hope I'll be able to wow myself.

Can I survive? Will I survive?

From this incident, I have discovered how much I mean to you. When you can't be straightforward with me, I'm not really your friend. Why pretend to be hesitant and act as though you spare a thought for me when you have already made up your mind, without sparing a thought for me? I don't like it. Not a single bit about it. I treated you as someone so special and important, but I don't even feel like I exist in your world.

I'm so tired of lies. It's always the same plot with the same ending. The only difference is the cast.

Forever. How many times have I foolishly believed in the meaning of this word, only to be proven wrong?

Truth is. No one stays. Those endless reassurance that nothing will change all turn out to be pranks. Because at the end of the day, when you open your eyes, those laughter and joyous moments fade with the wind. You find yourself standing here alone. Where have they gone? They have all moved on with their own lives, away from here. They have all left. Without you.

People always leave.
