Valentine's Weekend Monday, February 14, 2011 With J living in Columbia now we spend our weekends together and we had the whole weekend to celebrate valentine's day! His ideas to impress me are sweet and endearing haha but he is always a little clueless. He said "don't eat dinner, I am preparing the perfect vegetarian meal to surprise you." So when I got up to Col., he presented me with a giant fruit bowl ~ full of (uncut) apples oranges grapes bananas and a whole pineapple lol!! I was like "oh wow!! Not a hint of animal in sight, very thoughtful of you sweetie" I got gold diamond stud earrings for a present ~ there's two of them, medium and small size. Wow they are perfect for starting second ear holes! We drank the champagne that I brought up while he was doing his antrhopology homework. It's all about primates and quite interesting. I get drunk so fast and found the monkey pictures and facts HILARIOUS. This thing had me laughing long after the homework was done ~  It's the Emporer Tamarin. Named after some british royalman with the exact same moustache. The description on his homework to find the species for was "Curled white moustache and beard. Looks like a Dr. Seuss charachter" HAHAHAH Omg I love you emporer tamarin.  Next on the homework was a video about lemurs and the scientists trying to decode lemurs emotions and thoughts as they have been discovered to be "deep thinkers". HAHAHA. I was sooo buzzed, joe kept telling me to quiet so he can find the answers to the video questions but I kept going on about Lemurs reading Neitzsche and how enjoy deep discussions about modern art and debate jungle politics. So, enthused about primates, J and I had a educational and fun date at the zoo the next day!  He lives practically 5 minutes from the zoo. And the place really exceeded my expectations!! I have never even been to a zoo but I've heard only horrible things about them. I don't know how keeping animals in captivity can be so bad ~ the columbia zoo animals were so well cared for and happy. Just look:  The two gorgeous lions are clearly smiling!! Oh their smiles make me so happy. The female looks like my cat Mr. Big and he smiles when he is laying in the sun or eating.  MMMM GET IN MY BELLY!! I made crab legs that morning for us so when we found this mutant crab (a japanese crab) J and I had started craving for it all over again. (Well yes I'm veg ~ pescatarian so only I don't eat land animals lol)  Piranha fish^  Ohhh I love llamas!! They have amazing doe eyes and long curly lashes hehe. So cute :D  Always love to watch these guys! The zoo also features a giraffe lookout, kangaroo walk (with mini kangs) which is a trail going through their actual den, no fence! (Sadly we missed the times for this). Beautiful elephants. In the lion's den was a monkey haha J was like "Wonder why they keep a moneky with the lions". The birds make monkey sounds which is hilarious ~ I heard them from far away and I thought "More monkies that way!" when we followed the sound we saw a bunch of dancing parakeets hooting and hollering. I have heard that parrots/parrakeets can imitate the sounds of dogs and cats to HEHE. I wonder if the would do lion roars and elephant noises. Not only are many animals put into grave danger due to changing climate and deforestation, but many african animals ~ like primate species and birds ~ are hunted by tribes. These are primative tribes that hunt to survive, but I wonder if they know what they are doing is wiping out a whole species. Sadly captivity, though less than ideal, is the only way to keep many animal species alive. A baboon was born a couple of years ago at the columbia zoo, that's for good news! That's all for now ~ Happy Valentine's day *Hana* Labels: animals, dating, holiday, pictures, zoo
Dun Dun DUNNNNNN Saturday, September 18, 2010 Wow creepy ~ Isn't it creepy when exes enter back into your life? I mean, my ex Krish and I keep in touch, we agreed to always be friends after he moved to the Netherlands and broke my heart in millions of peices. My dibilitating heart ache finally subsided and I didn't feel the need to send him email updates of my life, all the latest photos, and monthly phone chats. The day I would have so given a kidney to see 6 months ago has come ~ KRISH HAS COME BACK TO THE STATES!! So he CALLED me (after I think last time we spoke was in April or May by phone) yesterday and said he's here in Connecticut for a business trip! I didn't think much but god is he trying to mess with me? and I just said "Yeah, so? What would you like me to do about that?" "Well being back here, everything reminds me of you princess! I miss you!" I told him not to say that to me as it's unbelievable. Krish has lots of charm and knows how to say all the things that you want to hear, without any purity to them though. This makes me sick! I had spent many times pondering if our whole relationship was a lie. But then I gave up on wasting my time thinking so negatively. Well I spoke with him. He's surprised I'm back in school, said he thought I should be done with school by now. What nerve!! I like talking to him, but I don't know why. He's so disingenuous. This keeps me from getting romantic feelings again (He was my first love). I am excited for him that he's in Connecticut, he's going on shopping sprees taking advantage of his hard earned euro dollar, (now I probably don't seem so expensive to date too!) and asked if I'd come up for the weekend. I told him because I have school I won't visit, though he claimed had the 'foresight' to know I wouldn't be able to visit anyway. So I don't know why he asked and why he decided to call me? "because I've been missing you, everything reminds me of you and it's so boring here without you" Now Krish wants to chat, at night, in the morning, he drunk dials me, he asked me when I get out of school. "Okay I'll call you then." Connecticut must be real boring... Oh btw he has a girlfriend in the netherlands. He's dated her since he moved there. And when I had a hard time letting go of him, he used to call and tell me how he dreams of me and dates other girls yet there is no one in NL like me, and all the things I wanted to hear. He said his girlfriend found out about me when she came across folders with our old couple pictures and started screaming out of jealous rage. When he told me this, I don't know... it made me feel flattered. I consoled him "She sounds like a posessive jealous type... you should leave her" And what is he telling her?? I betting he had all the right things to say to make her feel better. So I realized, he's romanticizing me (even if just by phone) and dating someone else. He's so two-faced. Again, the thought of our relationship having been all a lie crosses my mind. His current relationship is a lie. I bet he has a lineup of "princesses" ~ one for each country. Now that Krish is back in Connecticut, I Told my mom, who's currently on Long Island, to ferry across the sound and beat his ass :P Labels: dating |
