babies

i bet i haven't told you guys about the cats that's residing in this house. remember the female cat that i've wrote inside this blog some time ago? the cat which gave birth to 3 kittens but all of them died a few days after they was born. about 2 month ago, she gave birth again, but this time, 5 kittens came out and it's like hells break loose!! so 5 kittens plus their mom and another cat that my mom's friend gave before the kitten was born, there are 7 cats inside this house!

ok, so you're saying that kittens are cute. surely they are. but not when they start to poop. we doesn't let them inside the house but to just let they roam freely at the back of the house, which maybe could be said to be a store. but the stinks from their shit caught our nose, and to overcome it, we must wash it daily. yeah, you guessed right, there's no other suitable candidate besides me. i wouldn't mind cleaning those poop but in order to do that, i have to move several heavy things out of the way so that i could clean it throughly. and not to mention the stench! but i still have to do it, coz to abandon 5 small kittens seems so mean. each time i wash their shit, i imagined what cem had to do everyday.

talking about kittens, i've just watched the television series, House. if you're not familliar with it, it is a story of a doctor with a high ego trip named George House. it's a television series on AXN astro. i didn't watch the series that much, but the case tonight is about a woman who carries a baby inside her womb, but at the same time, suffers cancer. cancer treatments would be harmful for the baby but the baby wasn't due to labour yet, so they have to perform Caesarean if they wanted to save the mom and the baby, as delaying the cancer treatment would be fatal to the mom. but the mom insist that she'll wait a few more weeks so that the baby's probability to live would be higher, thus risking her own life. of course there are a few drama here and there but in the end, her cancer worsen and her husband had to make a choice either to save her, or the baby. but at the end, she died, but the baby lives.

the point i wanted to make here is if you're a husband, and you're inside that situation to choose wether to save your wife or your baby, who would you choose? yeah, we've see the cliche speech on movies where the mom cries and said that she rather die coz she's old and that the baby had a long way to go ahead of him/her. i agree that's a noble act, but if you're her husband, and if you're the only one responsible to make a desicion, who would you choose? a baby who you have to take care of, which you don't know if she/he will grow up hating or loving you, or your wife, which will surely love you as long as you love her back, and probably be a less burden than a baby?

i'm not trying to be harsh here. i didn't say that i don't like children. but watching this episode got me thinking. hmmm.....

ok, till then, adios amigos!!
