When They Say They Don't Believe In Love

Aha! One funny thing about Facebook™ is that people (including me) tend to put ideologies and philosophies on their status updates. Of course the most favourite type is the one where people talk about what they are doing or how they are feeling, but obviously that is normal even outside of the famous social network. But ideologies and philosophies...well those are heavy.

I have seen so many status updates and I believe you have too. And I'm pretty sure I won't be the only one who says, "What? They don't believe in love?" Yes, I'm talking about people who say they don't believe in love and will never need one. I mean, why? Why is that? Why do they refuse to believe in love when it is practically the first thing a human, like us, will see when he or she gets born?

For this question, I have come up with several explanations. Maybe they are right, maybe they aren't. But let's have a look, anyway.

1. They want to be cool like the rockstars. They assume the rockstars don't waste their time on falling in love. Perhaps they have forgotten that even a rockstar has a wife and several kids, and they aren't gathered by hitting a guitar on someone's face.

2. They just got out of love. They find it hard to accept. They are hurt and don't want to feel the same again in the future. Perhaps they have forgotten that when they first learned how to ride a bicycle, they fell a few times but that didn't stop them from trying again.

3. They got rejected. They believe the world is not fair and love is just another lie. Perhaps they have forgotten that faith cannot be earned without doubts, and acceptance cannot be gained without rejection.

Well I'm sorry to say this, but these kind of people are lying. They say they don't believe in love when the fact is, they are the ones who need it most. Deep down in their heart, they want someone to prove them wrong.

We learned about love immediately when we were born. How do I know? Well ask yourself how you were made. You were created in you mom's womb with the very seed from you dad. How did that happen? Because they loved each other, and your existence is now the living proof of that. You being here in the first place shows that love does exist. How can you say otherwise? I mean, you weren't made out of a stone. What are you, Sun Wukong?

As usual, feel free to disagree.

The Aliens (Will) Strike Back

After almost a year since the last attempt (click here if you want to know), they were back on the 14th of November 2010 with a more subtle plan. Yes, they still wanted to take control over the world. Still didn't give up.

Even though this time they had a more subtle plan, so they said, the location they had chosen to execute the plan was quite...the opposite. They chose a shopping centre.

Alien One:
"There are too many people here. Are you sure this is the best place? Why not the graveyard? The morgue?"

Alien Two:
"The morgue?? What are you, stupid? We want to dominate a living world, not the dead one! This is the best place. More people to witness how great we are. We just need to blend in and then, we strike!"

Alien Five (The Captain):
"Okay, here's the plan again. Make sure it sticks. Don't miss anything. Two of us will get the tickets, another two will buy the drinks, while me will be time keeper. I'll go to the toilet and wait for the signal. When the right time comes, we hit the button. Boom!"

Alien Four:
"Forth Eorlingassssssssss!!!"

Alien Five:
"What the hell was that?"

Alien Four:
"Owh, that's a battle cry. 'The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers'. Hee."

And so the plan started...

Alien One:
"So, this is what you called, 'blend in'? We're obviously different! Everybody is staring at us!"

Alien Two:
"Don't worry. I've studied everything. In their world, they have this one game called 'cosplay' where they wear costumes like cartoons, robots, aliens and stuff. To them, we're just cosplayers."

Man At The Counter:
"Can I help you sir?"

Alien Two:
"Give me two tickets for 'Dua Alam', please. 12 o'clock."

Man At The Counter:
"This movie is for 18 and above, sir. May I see your identity card?"

Alien Two:
"Here."

Alien One:
"Where did you get those?" (whispering)

Alien Two:
"I stole them. See how smart I am? I knew they would ask for identity cards."

Man At The Counter:
"I'm sorry, can you take off that mask for a second? I need to see your face."

Meanwhile...

Alien Three:
"Please give me two caramel popcorns and two Mirinda strawberries. Large."

Alien Four:
"Ah, I want Coke, please."

Alien Three:
"Oh, sorry. Make it one Mirinda strawberry and one Coke."

Man At The Counter:
"Okay. Okay, that would be RM12.90."

Alien Three:
"Okay, thank you."

Man At The Counter:
"Sure."

Alien Three:
"Heh. Heh."

Man At The Counter:
"........"

Alien Three:

"Heh. Heh."

Man At The Counter:
"Rm12.90, sir."

Alien Three:

"Okay, that's great."

Man At The Counter:
"Err...the money, sir?"

Alien Three:
"What's that?"

While in the toilet...

Woman:

"Ahhhhh! Pervert! Go! Go! Die! Die!"

Cleaner:
"Hiyeak! Take this! Hiyeak!"

Alien Five:

"Damn it!! Why are you hitting me!!? What did I do!!?"

Woman:
"You pervert! You think I don't know who you are just because you're wearing a costume!!?"

Cleaner:
"I've seen so many like you! You think I'm stupid? Just die!!!"

Alien Five:
"What the hell!!?"

So, during the post-mortem...

Alien One:
"You could steal two identity cards, but you missed the fact that there was a face on each of them, huh!!? Now I call that a genius! Really!"

Alien Two:
"Hey, don't put it on me! If these two clowns didn't blow their cover so quick, I would have had enough time to counter it!"

Alien Three:

"Whoa! Whoa! Hold the phone! Now you're pinning it on me? On me?"

Alien Five:
"You knew what to order, but you didn't know they had this 'money' thingy? You're probably the worst alien the humans could ever see!"

Alien Four:
"But boss, you didn't know they had gender... I mean, I knew of it. We all knew about it. It's so obvious in 'The Ugly Truth'.

Alien One:
"They pretty much have this man-woman thing on every movie. Don't you watch any of them? What's the matter with you, boss?"

Alien Five:
"Enough! We're going back now. We'll return with a better plan. And this time, don't miss a thing!"

And so they left. Worry not though, as in the future for sure they won't give up, they won't learn either.


When It Breaks More Than It Should

As if the world is going to collapse the man screams and yells furiously towards an old woman. Full of wrath and malice he says, "I only asked you not to touch it, the simplest thing to do on this f**king Earth, just one thing, just f**king one thing, and you couldn't even f**king do it!"

A crystal-made vase worth hundreds of dollars is seen lying on the floor...in pieces.

The woman stays still. Her eyes are looking down to those shiny little pieces, her tears are dropping heavily like the raining skies, and her body doesn't want to listen to her deep inner voice saying, "Don't tremble, please."

"This f**king vase isn't mine, you dirty old woman! It's worth half of my salary and you just f**king killed it! What am I supposed to do, huh!!? Sell you and use the money to pay it? You're not even close to that amount! Damn it!" So he sits down on the couch. He puts his hands over his red face. "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

30 years back, a young little kid accidentally put down a mirror onto one wrong place. The mirror fell down on a table with an oil lamp on it. It hit the lamp. The inside liquid splashed itself right on the kitchen floor and the fire followed. Both of them burned the whole house down. But thank God, none was injured.

The mother held her son tightly. While trembling in fear the son whispered, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to make it fall..."

The mother smiled. She said, "Don't worry. I will forgive you now so that later in the future when you've become a fine young man while I'm an old lady who touches your stuff, you will forgive me too. Is that a deal?" The son nodded with a smile to prove her words had comforted him.

But the promise has been forgotten. The fully fledged young man who was once a kid has totally ignored it. He shows his anger more than he should, and the mother smiles more than she could.

"I'm sorry, son. I didn't mean to make it fall..."

And the son stares at his mother, hatefully.
