I was watching Opposite Sex recently, actually just before am writing this, after finish downloading the first 4 episodes. I mean this is a great series! I never seen a teen series with such strong acting and stories! Why Fox cancelled it is beyond me, perhaps its all too close to real life adventures of the kids. I bet Fox prefer soapy drama scripts than those showed in the show that actually have some sort of real life reference to the viewers. Anyway Milo Ventimiglia plays the hero Jed, really fantastic performance by him. Better than the Gilmore Girls performance he gave. Allison Mack was in it too, another great performance from her. There is a difference when you feel for the characters and when the characters become you. Allison and Milo really make their characters really become you.
This is a must see show but unfortunately it has been cancelled so the only way you are ever gonna get the 8 episodes of it is by downloading them.

Fairness in relationships.
Here is a scenario: You and this Jane are in an active relationship. Maria mets you and fall in loves with you. But see her as a possible friend. Maria slowly over a period of time builds up her relationship with you from hanging out to friendly dates. Now you and her are about to go on your first serious date. Do you be fair break of your relationship with Jane and continue your's with Maria? Do you have both your cake and eat it? Or do you stop the relationship with Maria and leave it at friends?
Now the question is which is fair? Breaking up with Jane, which the both fell in love at sight with each other? Or with Maria who spend a lot of time and effort to get where she is in your relationship with you?
I figure most girls would say, "Be faithful you bastard!" And most guys would go, "Take them both, if one goes sour you still got the other."
Me? I frankly go with Maria. If someone can love me more than I would them, I, myself will then learn to appricate and love more. Maybe am wrong... pity no one comments on my blogs... or maybe you can call it luck? hhmmm..

Too many weird dreams.
This morning I had one of those I see dead people dreams. Though I can't go in the specifics of it but it had to do with foreseeing when my father will die. Anyway, the reason why I remember this dream is that two young girl ghosts inhabited my bed of my old house where I used to stay 6 years back. Now, I am a guy that hates kids, I hate kids cause they are immature lil brats that and I bust a ball everytime I see the buggers misbehave. But in this dream I found a welcoming, loving presence from the two girls. Half of the time I could see their transparent, ghostly bodies the other half I can't. They behave maturely and like children at time but also seek my attention in the dream. Either my playing poke and vanish games or by invisibly hugging me or sitting my lap. Funny thing is, I found kinda comforting to have them around me.
Either, I am starting to crave human company since I am sitting too long on this PC or my biological clock is ticking.

The Phone and I.
So there was I in my mom's car the other day and we were discussing the phone she bought with her voucher and some cash at her Cellphone Service Provider. Apparently, after a drop of sweat enter the phone it kinds short circuited and the phone manufacture's branch service center, that the Service Provider told her to go to, told her to repair will void the warrenty. WTF? But she sayz sure as long as the phone works again. A few days later it goes funny and she sends it back to the Service Provider asking for a replace and explains what the service center personal told her.
The provider, which is DIGI, a swiss company, will consider replacing it. After 2 weeks they tell her that they can refund the voucher but the balance of the cash maybe not. That is the voucher is points which is converted to money, depending on your phone talk time (how much your bill is) a certain number of points is awarded which is converted back to money to use at DIGI for paying future bills or buying stuff, etc. So her voucher was valued at 300 bucks, plus the 99 bucks balance for the phone she bought at DIGI.
So I told they are obliged to refund in full both voucher and cash. She goes to tell the points given are FOC and that she should be grateful that they even considered refunding it as it is a 'present' given for using the service normally. I go, no you dumb idiot, it is not. It is part of the service so that they can keep you as a customer and the fact the amount of money you pay for the monthly bill converts to a certain amount of points means that those total points in that voucher is your's which you have paid for. And the fact that you bought the phone at their branch and had to top up (commom place malaysia term for covering the balance due) with cash mean that service which is rendered (the phone) was paid by her. And since the phone failed to meet even a minium requirement of quality (the fucker crapped out 2 times in less than 5 days) they should honour their end of the rendered service and replace the phone even though the manufacturer of the phone voided the warrenty after repairing it the first time (this is Nokia and their Nokia 2100 phone). Even if they make a loss on that they should shallow the loss cause what's 399 bucks to a big company like that, right?
Jesus, she defends them like they were doing a favour in even considering refunding the voucher. I say, screw you and the horse you rode in. Thats, why I use prepaid. I don't have to pay a service fee of 30 bucks a months on top of any phone call charges I incur at the end of the month. Its 30 bucks for me till the month's end to use up or carry over with the next top up.
Small things like this, it is no wonder big companies are considered ass pirates to the common man.

Dream Talk or too much Sci Fi.
Early this morning while I was trying to sleep, I heard in my semi sleep state my father and sister mention that the cat didn't look well and might be in pain. After much gabbling like geese the morons say leave it to me when I wake up. I mean wtf, something that small and important as whether the cat is well or not they can't determine themselves? Freaking idiots, never be on your death bed with this family.
So about I think 20 minutes later, the cat (named Brat) jumps on my bed and nestles between my legs. She like sleep between my inner thighs and calf muscles, must be like firm pillows. Usually, she starts licking herself over before getting too comfortable but didn't which I thought was not normal.
So I fell back in dream state and had a weird dream, basically you can say I was playing a game of Paint Gun War but with laser laggign equipment. So in the dream one of my teammates even though I can't see her was Brat. Somewhere during the game ask her whats was wrong as she was moody in the game. In an aussie guy's voice she replied (remember I can't see her but know it's her for some reason) says something is stuck in her teeth.
So after that the dream I reckon went on for another 2 minutes and then the cat jumped off. At that point the dream ended but I didn't immediately wake up. I woke up about 2 hours after my father and sister's idiotic conversation on the cat's health.
So I went to touch the cat's jaw and lo and behold she growled at me. Long story short, pack up Brat in a basket, she cried all the way, took her to the vet, he said might have been an abcess that popped, so a jab of 72 hour antibiotics and off home she comes. Gotta monitor and she if she feels worse tomorrow or better.
Of course I wonder if she dream messaged her problem but then that's you to figure out yourself after reading this. BTW am off to buy a 4D number which happens to be cat.
