Yellow Tea Cup :: B4nch4’s Daily Stuff

Zebras are best known for their distinctive white and black stripes. Their stripes come in different patterns unique to each individual, very much like humans finger print. They are generally social animals and can be seen in small harems to large herds.

Unlike their closest relatives, horses, zebras have never been truly domesticated. A while ago, i watched this documentary (on animal planet?? i forgot) about a zebra following this woman around instead of socializing with other zebras. When she go into her house, the zebra wait in front of the window where it can see the woman, while chewing on the curtain. So cute. I wouldn’t mind having a zebra following me around =)

There are three species of zebra: the Plains Zebra, Grevy’s Zebra and the Mountain Zebra, but the Plains zebra is the most common

It was previously believed that zebras were white animals with black stripes since some zebras have white underbellies. However embryological evidence shows that the animal’s background color is dark and the white stripes and bellies are additions. So this albino zebra must have been against all ods, poor thing

It kinda reminds me of Michael Jackson

Zebras were, and still are, hunted mainly for their skins. This fact really crep me out…i do love zebra print but NOT the real skin *ugh*

If it is possible for people to feel like a color, I must be feeling very purple right now.

No, I’m not blue and definitely not red.

No i’m not sad, not yet content.

Melancholy…yes, that must be it!

What I can tell you about feeling purple is that it makes me feel like I can think a little deeper, rather than just floating on the surface like i always did

There is something sad, yet warm. It is lonely, yet peaceful

Perhaps, it’s the color of life?

I wonder what my color will be, tomorrow…

Is new goose down pillow suppose to smell like…ehm… animal? because it is still new perhaps? Anyway the smell kinda reminds me of the poor goose whose feathers being plucked to be my pillow stuffing. It must be the most comfy pillow i ever use, but i lay there wondering if the goose suffered when they plucked its feathers? or worse, were they being killed just for the feathers??? I honestly did not think about that when i bought it.

So for my peace of mind, i decided to google it, trying to find some justification of using feather product, and this is what i found:

“Goose will not be slaughtered just for their down, as the meat and other products would never be wasted in this manner. However, some geese suffer live-plucking several times a year. Animal welfare groups consider the collection of down to be a painful procedure and cruel, particularly since birds must undergo down collection repeatedly.”

*Horror*

I hope the goose that contribute its feathers to be the stuffing of my pillow is already dead before they plucked it’s feathers. Jesus, I’ll stick with synthetic next time.

Bulan lalu sempat ikutan propertykita.com blogging competition dengan tema yang cukup relevan dengan hidupku saat ini, yaitu rumahku, impianku. Ternyata postinganku yang berjudul my perfect green house itu menang sebagai juara pendukung, which amazed me, because i always consider myself unlucky in any kind of competition.

But i did win, jadi moga-moga my perfect green house kesambet good karma dan akhirnya bisa kesampaian one day =)

Anyway, mba yang menang juara pertama dengan postingan yang berjudul Rumah Tetirah. Slamat ya mba =)

Talk about luck, mungkin dulu gw ga beruntung karena enga pernah ikutan kompetisi? ya iyalah =) Jadi inget ama humor pendek di bawah ini

How often do you go into ladies toilet (in Indonesia) and found one of this “Do Not Squat on Toilet Seat” sign? Very often right? almost all public toilet has similar sign. Well this sign must have been one the most ignored sign ever.

Every now and then i still run into dirty footprint all over the toilet seat! And i’m not talking about public toilet in some warung or small restaurant, even toilet in the big shopping center, and the public toilet in my office building has the same problem.

It really annoys the heck out of me, i mean does these people do not have any tolerance whatsoever to the fellow public-toilet user? it is disgusting!

Sometimes i kinda wish i can pee standing. That is certainly more convenient.
