Going against Mom

When I was 9, I visited my mom's friend's house. It's actually a miracle that I can still remember the details of that day. Why? My answer is because that day sort of changed my way of thinking. I remembered that I was sitting on the couch in her house at that time while my mom was busy talking with her friends. I was bored and lonely at that time so I looked around the place and something caught my eye from the corner of the room. It was solidly laying there and it looked kind of new. What was it? I went over and took up the brownish instrument. Yes, it was a guitar. I have not the slightest idea what kind, but it looked country. I brought it over to the couch and begun to play with it. I strung out some tunes quietly so that no one would know. Hey, I was young and didn't know nothing about persmissions on taking others' stuff.

So, as i was saying, I played with it and I found it super interesting and calming. The more I played with it, the more i feel like i had a new hobby or even a new dream. I wanted to play more of it, but before I could even satisfied with the guitar, my mom literally pulled or rather dragged me away from the instrument though I whined and cried. We went straight home after that. I just couldn't stop thinking about how happy I was when I played with a complicated instrument like that. Everyday after that wonderful day, I the thought of the guitar just failed to exit my mind, not even once. A week after that, I summoned all my courage to ask my mom to buy one for me.

I guess it just wasn't my lucky day. When mom heard me mention the word 'guitar', she simply shook her head and lectured me about music learning, about how much time and money it wastes. She just won't listen to any of my explanations. I fought my hardest to keep the tears from streaming down my face as I slowly nodded my head understandingly. I kept my head down all the way, afraid of looking into my mom's eyes. Later, I went up to my room and told myself that one day, mom would understand. One day, when I'm older, I would show mom how important that instrument and music is to me, and then she would finally see clearly what and who i really am.

Time passed year by year and surprisingly, i became an average student at school and was even active in sports, especially badminton, but i have to admit, i was never very consistant towards it. I would attend trainings and practised as hard as i could and when i was so close to becoming very good, I just stopped. When I stopped, it wasn't just a matter of a day or two. It would always be months, and now, half a year. I dunno why, but i just lost my interest in it. Once, badminton was a part of me, something that would fill the empty parts of my heart and make me complete, but somehow, it just fell apart one day. There is really no one to blame, but myself.
I stopped badminton though my family did not show an approving side. I figured that one of the possible reasons why I stopped was because of my interests in other sports like, table tennis and basketball. Basketball is my favourite sport too. I wanted to join the school team after I won my school's inter-class basketball competition, but my hopes fell into the drain when my family gave me a staright to the point answer which was 'NO'. I had to say i took it real hard as i was rather in love with that sport. Anyway, i was sort of banned from playing basketball outside my house, so i had to bare through the pain of not being able to play for months.

The banning of that slowly disappeared as the months went by and i continued playing again. LOL.

My point of view in Life and saving mother earth

I guess it's time for me to stop messing around. Time for me to tell you about my real, boring life. People say that life's full of adventure, but too bad for me, I just can't seem to find them wherever I looked. Then, it hit me. Adventures in life doesn't need you to find them, they just secretly appear in your life without you knowing it or even liking it, for that matter. My adventures in life? Not much and not as exciting as I hoped it would be, but hey, at least I got a life. It's not much, but I'm just happy and thankful that I have the chance to see this amazing and beautiful world, and sad to say that is soon to be polluted. I don't know why, but it seems like everyone one in the world (I'm talking about humans), is out to ruin our beautiful world created by God.
Why? I know this ain't the best place to live, but it's home. Well, and because it's the only place we can survive in, so we don't really have a choice. If there's another planet in the solar system that we can easily move into without spending that much expenses, then I would gladly destroy earth and move to this other planet later. Not gonna happen, I was just kidding. All I'm saying is that, why don't we give it our all to save and protect mother earth that also serves as our home? Why are there still jerks in others parts of the world who throws rubbish into the river freely or idiots who destroys forests so that they can have their shopping mall built or so. Okay, I know that shopping malls are a 'must' in life, but hey, we don't need like what, 5 in one city, do we?
To be honest, 2 of it should be the limit in one city, or maybe 3 in a bigger and more populated city. And that's all it takes for doing your part in saving mother earth. Now, is that so hard? No, it's not. What's hard is trying to do push ups with one finger. Why don't you give it a try? If you can manage that, then I think you won't even have to break a sweat in helping mother earth.
I have to admit that I'm not really doing everything i can to save our home, but at least i TRY not to use air-conds as much as i want to. I TRY not to use plastic bags when i go for grocery shopping and i TRY not to litter everywhere I go. I don't pollute the river with rubbish dump and i sure don't smoke! I only open the fridge when i need to (if you know me well, i think you'll understand that's not really doing any good at all :) . I conserve energy by not turning on the fan but switch on the air-cond when i sleep at night (joking) and not watching the television that use up lots of electric, on the other hand, i try to play my laptop as much as i can (joking again). I help mother earth by planting plants around my housing area so that we have more oxygen and fresh air to breathe into, and not the polluted, harmful, dirty and disgusting air caused my cars and factories and well, all sorts of crappy pollutants creator.
And that is all for today from me, Val. This is my point of view in life and saving mother earth. This may not exactly be a point of view in life, so i'll just think out something sometime later.
