Dogs are Man's Best Friend

I'm tearing as I write this because I've just watched a dog rescue video that has touched me deeply.
Prior to this, I was looking at some pictures of puppies that were abandoned, half dead with maggots and ants feasting on them. Two out of three survived and I salute the rescuer.

Here is the page:

I sometimes wonder if I was a dog or some kind of animal in my past life. 

Why do I say this?

For reasons whatsoever, I ALMOST ALWAYS cry whenever I watch an animal movie (in CONTRAST I don't feel much empathy towards human sufferings) and I feel deeply disturbed and overwhelmed with emotions whenever I see abuse of animals online or read about it (where I'll have tears in my eyes so fast), so much that I want to do the same punishment to the F*** humans who inflicted these cruelties on them.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IS THERE A NEED TO TREAT SUCH POOR HELPLESS ANIMALS SO CRUELLY.

Is it to satisfy some sick obsession??!! And if so, go see a FUCKING Psychiatrist!!!!!

I think humans are cruel. In my opinion, we often abuse our intelligence and power for greed.
Forsaking morals and ethics for more money.

Recall:
Shocking world news-
The China infant milk poisoning (deadly chemicals added for WHAT F*** REASON I GOT NO IDEA) causing babies to die after drinking.

Selling rats' meat for mutton? (or some other sort of meat) like the Chinese saying: 挂羊头卖狗肉
DISGUSTING

Whale Poaching: I recall watching a video with the whole beach full of bloody whales with men holding this hook thing and sticking it into these poor mammals and dragging them up the shore.
WTF?!

The boy who threw a cat down 9 storeys. (I sure would love to do the same to him)

I'm sure there are MANY more atrocious incidents everywhere else in the world.

I love dogs. I hope to have one some day though I have no experience with having a dog for a pet.
A friend recommended adoption and told me to watch this Caesar Milan guy on you-tube who is just so good with ALL dogs. I watched him and I am hooked. I am so totally doing my homework first before I adopt my very first dog.

I remembered Caesar said:
There is NO VIOLENT BREED of dogs. All behaviors are stemmed from man's influence.
It just reminds me that goes the same for kids. They get influenced by parents or the environment they are brought up in. The only difference is that humans are more complicated.... *frowns

Previously, I had no idea that there are SO MANY shelters existent with SO MANY rescued dogs in need of a home. I was still dreaming of going to pick my favourite breed from the pet farm or shop.

I think the least I can do is to help adopt, and give at least one dog a nice safe home. (mongrel or otherwise) We all know that dogs are a man's best friend and we should treat them with love.

I'm getting my own place soon which makes me excited! I'm also glad I managed to convince my boyfriend to consider adoption and look at mongrels (most dogs in the shelters are mongrels which many people do not find cute) with a different eye. He did and is open to them. :)

I just wish and pray that there will be no more animal cruelties and let's all do our bit to help whenever we can.

Read this post, on how a kind Muslim man helped to rescue this poor little pup.
(I find it ironic that a Muslim, who is usually adverse to dogs because of religion put aside his beliefs to save one helpless puppy) Maybe there is hope!

http://hopedogrescue.blogspot.sg/2013/05/we-are-hoping-for-miracle.html

So, to those who wants a new best friend, CONSIDER ADOPTION PEOPLE! 

My parting words to ABUSERS:
DARN ALL ANIMAL ABUSERS TO HELL. MAY YOU ALL ROT SUCKERS!

Adios,
G

Hair style for Photoshoot: Retro Mod

Recently did the hair for a model for a photoshoot and the theme was "Retro"

I don't know when exactly it started; I realized nowadays my dressing is more Mod (I think prints make fashion so much more interesting), but mainly my taste for furniture is changing towards this old style flavour (Especially DISTRESSED furniture English style)!!

And besides, 'Mod' IS the trend NOW!

So when I saw that the background of the photos had old type writers, furniture and cool poster boards, I was really tempted to go check out this supposedly abandoned place, and take some of those props home for my new home decors! :p (steal?) Hahahhhaha.

In the end, I didn't. I thought it would be creepy and the place would be hard to find, according to the photographer. Besides, I have been watching horror films and I wouldn't want abandoned old stuff to have strange energies coming out!! ARGHHHH??!!!

Like: CAN YOU imagine going home with the creeps everyday?!!!!!

Well here are the pictures! Makeup done by a fellow friend.

Check out the old typewriters and table in this picture above!!!!! *excited

This is my favourite shot I love her sunnies :) And THIS IS THE GATE DESIGN I'll be using for my new home!!!
