Darla! - Mischief, etc.

Introducing: William Hooper

Posted in bill by

Exactly one month ago, on 6 June 2013, Miss Molly gave birth to three cute kittens. One male and two females. They are very healthy and like to run around the house since they were 3 week old. However, since two of them have full black fur, I find it kinda hard to take their pictures. So, I’m going to introduce them one by one, starting from the first born one. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

William Hooper

aka Bill

He is the only tabby cat among the Three Diablos (yes, based on this). He has striped black-brown-grey fur. He is the naughtiest of them all and the first to mastered the skill of escaping their nest, a cardboard box where they were born. He is super handsome and likes to cuddle. He’s going to be a playboy cat one day.

I Hate How It Used To Be

Once upon a time (or three weeks ago), I was cleaning my room when I found this treasure: an old diary of mine. Not that old, actually, as the last entry was in 2010. The diary has a picture of a blue elephant with a “HAPPY DAY” heart shaped balloon on the cover. But believe me when I say that there is almost no a single entry telling about happy day in it. Everything was so stressful and sad and bad and negative back then.

85 % of the pages are filled with the sad story of 19-years-old Dara, who was dealing with her first and second years of university, her psychological issue, and her boyfriend back then. Not the story 21-years-old Dara could be proud of. If I could, I really would like to take everything back. Oh God, how I had wasted my time!

Looking back at how stupid the me depicted in the diary was, I decided to also look back at the old posts in this blog. Whilst there are some stressful posts just like my old diary entries, I could totally see that what I posted here are not 100% true. There are some “I’m happy”s to cover up the ugly truth about how unhappy I actually was. For the love of God, I really want to delete those posts but I’m still not sure yet. Should I delete them or shouldn’t I?

My life is moving forward. I’m growing up (a lot) and I have plans now. I have moved on from the past, but as long as my past is still there in the form of old blog posts, I can’t feel secure. I’m afraid that they would interfere and mess up my future plans.

So, should I or shouldn’t I?

Minions!

This was the fourth movie I watched in these past three weeks. Summer sure is a hard time for a college student like me. There are so many good movies that I want to watch but I have to keep it on my budget limit. Why can’t they be released periodically, like, one good movie each month in the whole year? Ugh, Hollywood!

Anyway, Despicable Me 2 is super hilarious. I’ve read many good reviews of this movie and I agree with most of them. It actually has a cliche plot and storyline that I could guess who the bad guy was since, like, halfway through the movie. Besides, it doesn’t have a sad part; unlike the first one and any other children’s movie.

However, these flaws are put aside by none other than the Minions! Yes. I think it will be safe to say that Despicable Me 2 would be nothing without them. Take them away, and the movie is dead. 90% of the laughters in the theater was caused by them (“Bottom! Hahahahahah…”). I hope they could do it better if they are going to make Despicable Me 3. Since there will be Minions Movie, if Despicable Me 3 doesn’t have a good stodyline, I don’t think people will be interested.

Oh and by the way, have you watched this mini movie?

Honeybees Went Out for Pizza and Ian’s Early Birthday Party

Today, the five of us finally had the chance to have a meet up to throw Ian her (early) birthday party. We went to Domino’s and bought the Two for Tuesday promo. We stayed there for hours before we finally left it for Daiso and Gramedia.

We talked about a lot of things and laughed together. Though we mostly talked about final paper, it was really fun to finally see them again. The college life will end very soon, and until that time, we won’t get the chance to see each other very often like we used to do in the early years. This kind of meet up will be very rare soon and that’s why we should cherish every minute that we spend together.
