why not adopt instead of giving birth?

this crossed my mind! might as well record this particular thought before i forget it forever..

i have always believed in this thought of mine.

"why not adopt instead of giving birth to a newborn?"

don't judge me. but really, that question is always in my head.

why?

we hear of news about abandoned babies and children almost everyday. we have orphanage home almost everywhere. there are also those wars and natural disasters leaving children homeless and family-less. who's going to care for them? orphanage homes aren't just the same as a real home. these children need love and nurturing and care. they need a family they can call their own.

and so i figured... why don't we take them in? i thought:

" why not we adopt the already existing innocent children, than bring new ones; after all its a cruel world out here. might as well we save the ones in need, rather than bring out new ones to suffer!"

i think i still believe in this whole ideology. partly. it's quite true pun kan honestly..

*giggle* i brought this up to my mom once, and she got worried. haha. i think she's still worried til now.

25 things about me

i'm doing this only because i need to give life to my dying blog, and because i'm fulfilling my obligation as a tagged person (so says Widaad.hehe)

25 Things About Me

1. whenever i'm given this kind of 'About Me' tasks, i feel odd because that's when i'll realize that i don't know much about myself, and that is odd! it makes me wonder if i'm another different being altogether in my head... see, now i'm confused..

2. i walk like a crab. not all the time! i just tend to walk senget... after a while walking, i'll realize that i'd be walking sideways towards the person who i'm walking with.. i think my mom craved for crabs when she was preggie with me.

3. i have this thing for coffee; as many already knew. BUT what many don't know, is that i have successfully managed to cut down on my addiction. i think that's my greatest achievement in life. i don't take shots anymore (espresso's or brewed beans!), i just go for regular nescafe occasionally. boring; i know..

4. i've only gotten to number 4, and i'm already tired thinking what about me. i think this '25 things' should be done by family and friends.

5. i still haven't solved the mystery as to why and how i can be hyper. but i tend to be hyper. coffee or no coffee. again, i have no idea why..

6. i just realized that my dad is actually a scientist who does researches and comes up with inventions. i thought lecturers just lectures..haha

7. i really think i need bodyguards. my dad does computer security stuff, and now he came up with this new anti-porn software (super cool) which won gold medal and going on to international level; i'm guessing that soon those porn industry tycos are going to send their peeps to go after me! oh, and maybe my other 6 siblings too. but since i'm the first child and the first child is always the most precious ones; so i'm like their number one target. so yeah, i need bodyguards.

8. i think i have short-span attention. my moods come and go that quick too. actually, i think i just tend to forget what i'm supposed to feel after few minutes. really, not by choice..

9. i can be so composed that i actually surprise myself at how 'adult' i can be (the feeling post-realization is gooood); but not often when i need to..

10. when i get sooooo nervous or excited; i tend to talk so so much tahap extra punya. it's embarrassing when i think about it, after those incidents. heish. sampai mati punye malu.

11. i am daym embarrassed at how squeaky my voice sounds on the phone. *tarik rambut stress*

12. i am so tak rajin layan and mengaktifkan diri on sites like facebook, friendster etc. sama la blog ni.. kalau rajin, rajin teramat, kalau tak, i'm like "whatever.."

13. (OMG baru 13??!!) i talk fast. especially when i'm ranting. people hate to hear me talking because of this.

14. i love love laksa and sambal stuff! i love foood! one of the reasons i luuuurve living in Malaysia.

15. i wish i could be a food critique or be a host for a food show. how cool is that to get paid to go try out food???? i wish!

16. i think i can design dresses. i think i should start keeping my sketches and if i ever i get lucky, i can try to make money selling them. (i know; berangan.)

17. i love interior designs. i think i can sketch that too. yeah i love furnitures and home designs.

18. i actually go check out show-houses. i love properties. one of the reasons why i want to be a real estate agent. (ye...more berangan here)

19. i am actually good with gadgets although i'm not into them! i tend to be able to figure out how to manage and make them work.

20. i love driving and i never mind to find myself lost on the road! they do say "you learn from your mistakes".. the feeling when u encounter and discover new routes; it's just awesomeness!
i really do love being on the road!

21. if i'm stressed out, i like to go for a drive around the city centre and enjoy viewing the fairy lights hanging on the trees. i thank the Government for that too!

22. i think guys who can cook are cool and attractive.

23. don't judge me, but i think that it's 'tak best' if a guy has never ever tried smoking. (i'm sorrrry!!!!) i'm serious nih!

24. i've always pictured myself living as a single mom, with an adopted son. honest to god. single, with one anak angkat. and note: SON. ever since forever.

25. (finally!) i tend to feel the need to say whatever crosses my mind immediately because i tend to forget them the next second! otherwise i'll have to write them down and say it out later. only lately though!(widaad said)
