Thou Shall Not Covet

These words are very much engraved in my head as a "rule" given by God. Thou shall not covet other people's things, Thou shall not Covet other people's wife. In short, Huwag kang inggitera! (Don't be envious!).

I have abide by the rule as much as I can. But then, I realized that we should not take God's word very literally. I believe that He created the rule as a way of saying that we should be contented for what we have and be happy for others. Envy is not really an entirely bad emotion. Too much of it does and how you use that emotion.

Personally, I have used that emotion to advance myself. To get what I want on a positive way. If its a thing, I think of ways how could I earn to buy that thing. If it is success, I politely try to learn his or her secret how did she or he did it. I always say to myself, "They did it, why can't I?"

Some may agree with me, some will don't. I fully understand that. Please do tell me what you think. It'll be quite interesting.

The Other Abbie

The name Abbie is special to me. The first one who calls me Abbie was my husband. He said that he wants to be the only one to call me that. You see, Abbie is my second name. Its basically short for Abigael.

Then I have this unconditional love for our feline friends. They used to laugh at me as I wanted to pick up and hug every cat that I see. Yes, even the filthy ones (I know its scary) but of course, I wanted to pick them up so I could have them take a bath (which I know might be their worst nightmare).

Then came the time that I wanted to create a blog that perhaps will show the real me. I know this step might, only might, put me into shame but can also put me into stardom. Honestly I don't want stardom but I want awareness. Have really lots of ideas that going on in my head but sad to say, they only comes like a wind. Most of my great ideas come to me when I can't even write something on my handy notebook. Then I will loss focus. Then Capoot! There goes the idea. Hehehehe. But I know there is room for improvement.

Anyway, back to blog. I decided to go for the most obivious choice for my blogspot name, abbie.blogspot.com. But I was in for a suprise. This sassy cat had beat me on the spot! And she did so by six years ahead of time. Talk about first come first serve. :)

But I don't mind, really. She's so cute. And you can see that she had worked so hard with all typing on the computer (*grins*). Her last post was dated 01 May 2007. Apparently she's already ten years old an just had her birthday party! So to you, Abbie the Sassy Cat, Happy Birthday! Its so nice to have a namesake as cute as you.
