natlely that girl with specs^^: The Empty Nest Syndrome

Hi, I haven't been blogging for a long time...hmmm but u probably know if ur my fb friend that I was studying for my bar exams. That's over and I didn't have the mood to blog while waiting for the impending doom that I have calculated to befall my future. But the results were out and I got really surprised because it was much better than expected. Anyhow, this post has got nothing to do with my results or my anxiety while waiting for them.

I'm talking about that empty next syndrome. Just in case you have no idea what that is, you should probably google it. After all, google is sort of the mother of all searches. When u want some fast information, half accurate and complicated to verify, u google it.

Simply put, the empty nest syndrome is perhaps a good analogy of a parent when the young ones go off into the world to discover and live their dreams or the lack-of, whichever one applies.

For those who know me, well I'm not married and neither do I have kids, let-alone college going ones so that empty nest syndrome didn't come from kids. It came from my sweetie-pie, the 3 year old long coat chihuahua I own, Mogwai~

As u can see, I love this little bundle of joy. She is my other half of the universe. That happens to me a lot. Whenever I'm awfully close to a dog, I become attached to it and gets agitated when we're separated. If you don't know me well, u need to know that I've had friends that so happen to be dogs around me since I was born. My parents love dogs as much as I do and I think it's simply wonderful I was given the exact same blessing of being able to feel such love for a four-legged creature. I think they're God's most wonderful creation to remind us that there is another living, breathing creature that could love so deep, they literally could die for you.

I've had loads of pet dogs that come and go as I age, from the day I started to remember their names up til now. Mogwai makes me happy. She rarely barks and only does so when she's excited and wants to come down from the bed. Blessed be-me that she isn't the type to bark a lot. The only downside was she is too friendly and could jump onto your lap if you only let her. Not much of a guard-dog material if you ask me but I don't really mind. If I wanted a guard dog I've got bigger ones in my car porch. They're Jackal the Husky and a Mastiff puppy we have yet to name.

I have that empty nest syndrome whenever we're apart. There was once that we decided we should let her find her mate with a male chihuahua when she was in heat. I place her with my parents and had to stay in KL because I had classes to attend. For the whole week she wasn't with me, I was throwing a bitch-fit at anything and everything. I felt annoyed and angry for no particular reason. The mere feeling of going back to a room where my furry little angel didn't greet me with tail-wagging and little kicks of the legs make me unbelievably sad. When I finally got to see her, it was like a lover's reunion minus anything sexual haha.

Then there was today. I asked Dan to take her to KL while I was back in my house in my hometown. I needed to get things done here and when I get back to KL I couldn't possibly let her get into the KTM with me.

I was really lonely while I was at home, even as I typed on my netbook now. She wasn't on my lap like she always was. Sometimes she'd be snoring or other times when she got bored she'd stretched while placing her furry little paws on my chest. Gosh I miss her.
