Quarrelling Cats

>> Aug 28, 2010

Sometimes, male cats are quarrelling. It’s usually about territorial thing. Every quarrelling will involve staring, yowling, and much ritualized posturing.

The attacker will leap forward, trying to bite his opponent’s neck. The opponent will fall to the ground, trying to bite and scratch the attacker’s belly. These cats may roll around, biting and screaming, and then suddenly stop to resume posturing.


I captured these quarrelling moments at our home fence. Fortunately, the physically contact didn’t happen. One cat preferred to leave the arena. I was glad as I didn’t hear their noisy yowling anymore.

Couple’s Corner : When Simple Sorry is not Enough

>> Aug 25, 2010



Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word

Lyrics: Bernie Taupin

Piano and vocals: Elton John


What have I got to do to make you love me

What have I got to do to make you care

What do I do when lightning strikes me

And I wake to find that you're not there
What do I do to make you want me

What have I got to do to be heard

What do I say when it's all over

And sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad

It's a sad, sad situation

And it's getting more and more absurd

It's sad, so sad

Why can't we talk it over

Oh it seems to me

That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me

What have I got to do to be heard

What do I do when lightning strikes me

What have I got to do

What have I got to do

When sorry seems to be the hardest word


Why I sometimes feel hard to say “I’m sorry”, though I know that I’ve done mistakes? Sometimes, my pride- makes me reluctant to say it. Or I’m still in deep angry; and it needs times for me to cool down my emotion. After I’m feeling better with my emotion, I’m usually nearing my hubby and say that five words.

But sometimes, it isn’t hard at all. I can say it easily. I can say “I’m sorry” straightly after I realize that I’ve made a mistake. Sigh, I still have to learn to control my emotions!

As a married couple, saying “I’m Sorry” is very important. But of course; it should be a meaningful one and state it with sincerity. Saying ‘sorry’ but not intending to improve our actions will cause a lack of trust. Saying “I’m sorry” and admitting that we did something wrong is the first step to self-improvement. It can also break the ice and the way to reconcile is wide open.

Unfortunately, in this case, my hubby has the similar behavior. Sometimes, when he realizes that his mistake has made me angry, he straightly says how sorry he is and usually he does funny acts to make me laugh. But sometimes, he can be so stubborn and it needs long time for him to say it! There’s no doubt, we still have to learn to fix this.

>> Aug 23, 2010

With the existing economy condition and strict budget, saving money always becomes most people’s concern. We always look for ways to grab our needs in less money. Let’s say that you have to move to another town in the short of time. As you may know, moving can be very expensive. So, saving money in moving expenses is really needed.

Sometimes, for whatever reasons, we can’t avoid from moving. According to my own experience, I realize that moving is not a pleasant thing to do. Moving makes you have to deal with lots of jobs that can be so tiring. Moreover, you must leave all that you have been familiar with and adjust with your new place.

As mentioned above, moving is an expensive thing that needs serious preparation. You can’t do it just by yourself! If you stay in Texas, you may need a professional moving help from
Texas moving services. They will give you various helps, such as loading and unloading help, packing and unpacking help, and also driving help.

Couple’s Corner: When We Want Something

>> Aug 19, 2010

Married couples should apply open communication. I guess it’s a must have if you want to maintain a warm and close relationship with your spouse. There’s no need to do something behind your spouse’s back. It’s just leading you both to a disagreement.

I always know when my hubby would like to say that he wants something. He always calls my name first in very soft tone and voice. He does it not only if he wants to buy something that he likes, but also if he wants me to do something for him.

How about me? Sometimes I massage his shoulder while I’m saying what I want, hehehe. I usually do it if I need his help to carry or lift up heavy things or fix broken stuffs at home. But sometimes I just state it clearly. I’m not a shopaholic type. So, when I said that I want something material, he knows that it’s because I need it.

Of course, he doesn’t always get everything that he wants, neither do I. The point is: we shouldn’t force our wants. Understanding and comprehension one another are the main key.

time has made us all strong
with a light heart and happy soul
when its needed
will tear thee apart

Eating Grass

>> Aug 15, 2010

I captured this wild cat a few days ago. Why cats are eating grass? I do a little search, and here is the result. Eating grass isn't for the nutritional value. Grass is pretty indigestible to cats, and low in nourishment anyway. Grass is mainly fibre and the cat's stomach doesn't have the enzyme needed to digest it. However, grass can help a cat's digestive process by inducing regurgitation of undigested matter.


Domestic cats, especially exclusively indoor cats, will seldom have the chance to digest live prey. But even these cats still will chew on grass if it is provided - and it should be. Remember that cats clean up themselves extensively, and their tongues are prepared with little hooks which pick up loose hair.

However, the disadvantage of this is that cats end up swallowing a large proportion of the hair they lick off their coats. Hair is not eatable and it can bundle up in the stomach to create a furball. Eating grass may aid in removing the furballs through vomiting before they become unmanageable.

So, eating grass is good for your cat!

Couple’s Corner: Likes and Dislikes

>> Aug 12, 2010

Last week, we talked about our opposites that surely have no affect with our love. This week, we will talk about our Likes and Dislikes. For me, it needs time to know likes and dislikes of my husband. Knowing your spouse well, such as each other’s likes and dislikes, is important enough as it can strengthen your relationship!

Just share a little bit of our likes and dislikes here. What you can learn is, a husband and a wife can have their different likes and dislikes, and you can use these facts to care your spouse more.

He likes to start the day with a glass of water and a cup of sweet black coffee. Since he plans to reduce sugar intake, I make his coffee less sweet than the usual. During fasting month, he always ends sahur meal with one big glass of water and a cup of coffee. If he doesn’t drink coffee in the morning, he can get headache all day. I prefer green tea to coffee now.

‘Sambal’ is a must for him. Sambal is like a hot sauce that made from lots of chili. If ‘sambal’ isn’t yet available on the table, he prefer to postpone eating time and wait for me making it first. With or without sambal, I can eat my meal.

Every times he leaves home, he wants me to accompany and ‘release’ him until the fence door. I always kiss his hand and he kisses my forehead.

We like to help other people, as long as we are still capable doing it.
We like to watch TV news and hanging out together in week end afternoon.
We like sitting at the porch and having a chat about everything.

I like to tickle his waist and he hates it, hehehe.
He doesn’t like if I don’t stare at him when he’s talking.
He doesn’t like if I’m going out alone and forget to ask his permission first.
He doesn’t like eating alone at home. If I’ve already eaten before, I still should accompany him.

He can be so spoiled. He likes to get a soft massage and I like it, too.
He doesn’t like if I’m too busy with my own hobbies. He’s a kind of a person that needs more attention. He doesn’t like being alone. Not like me, I can enjoy being alone!

It’s just a little bit of our story. You can join Couple’s Corner to share yours.

Couples’ Corner : Our Total Opposite

>> Aug 5, 2010

Oops, I’m late again to write Couple’s Corner post. This week’s topic is about Total Opposite. Is there a wife that 100% well-matched with her husband? Well, there’s still a possibility; but I guess it would be only a few.

A married couple can have a wonderful and strong bond; but it doesn’t mean that they are just having a little opposite. For example, besides our compatibilities, I and my hubby have many opposites; but we still can live happily – I hope for ever after- hehehe.

Actually, I don’t see our opposites as a big problem. As long as we aren’t selfish; we always find a solution or make a compromise.

The opposites of a married couple can happen in many ways. Just mention a little bit here.

He likes sweet food; I hate it.
He loves hot and spicy food; my stomach can accept it.
He hates reading. I have to read newspapers for him.
He loves bargaining; I don’t.
He loves wandering in a flea market; I don’t.
I love window shopping at the mall; he doesn’t. He said that just watching and buying nothing is embarrassing.
I’m a quiet person; he’s very talkative.
He’s a spontaneous person; I prefer to make plans first. His spontaneous act often ruins my plans!
I’m frugal; he loves shopping. Sometimes I must put things from our shopping cart back to the store shelf.

Parenting Advice

>> Aug 2, 2010

Parents, perhaps you’ve already read lots of parenting advices before; but why don’t you check these advice also?

To raise a child to be a well rounded child; you should teach values of independence and self-sufficiency in your child at a young age. Balance the parental input so that you are giving all your child’s needs emotionally and physically, while at the same time showing your child that he or she can do a lot of things independently.

Start teaching your child a "can do" attitude :

Give Your Child Responsibility
It is never too early to teach your child responsibility. Whether it be the job of picking up his or her own toys, helping with dishes, or helping take care of the family pet. Too many parents do everything for their children, thus instilling the idea at a early age that if they don’t do it, someone else will.

Do Not Do What They Can Do
If your four year old says, "Mommy, go get my juice, it’s on the table" should you? No! Unless a child is ill and really is feeling so poorly that they should be made to rest as much as possible, this is a situation where you as a parent should say, "If you want your juice, it’s right over there".

Teach Your Children about Consequences
If you threaten and once a few tears are shed, then you give in, you are teaching your child that there are no consequences for their actions. Stick to your guns, they will be better off in the long run. If they repeatedly do something they know is wrong and you threaten no cartoons after dinner, then make it no cartoons after dinner. Empty threats do nothing for the parent or the child.

Set an Example
You are the best teacher to your child. This means that if you say you are going to do something you should try as hard as possible to live up to what you say. This sometimes means playing matchbox cars when you are tired, making a cake when you don’t feel like it, playing outside with your kids when you’d rather be reading the latest John Grisham novel. If you show your children that people should live up to their promises, they will keep that lesson for life.
