LISTEN . . please? {♥} chainedwonderland v3.0

Welcome to my wonderland. This is my blog - a place to rant, rave, and roll about anything and everything. Please, no spamming. No cursing. No flaming. I'm entitled to my own opinion, and if you don't like it, press the red [x] to exit.

..while I may be a happy-go-lucky person at times, I am a big dreamer. I love Japanese things, especially the Gothic and Punk stuff..and Ayumi Hamasaki. I also love Anna Sui-ish graphic art. I enjoy singing, composing, drawing, doodling, surfing the net, watching TV, reading, designing clothes, and sleeping. I try my best not to judge people, but I do have the tendency to be snobbish or stupid at times, but I'm not perfect - nor is anyone else. I believe that all people are born with talent, and that everyone is unique. And if you have a problem with that, then get out.

Friday, December 12, 2008 vegetarian?

Last Thursday was the ACLE day of the UPIS week. I don't usually participate in UPIS week activities, but I found out Ma'am Rhea would be teaching Animal Rights. So I signed up pronto(and dragged Macky, Pertut, and Nox with me).

Modesty aside, I'm quite compassionate - especially when it comes to animals. No fur, leather, or wool for me(although I have an angora coat - but it's secondhand!) - and I'm against animal cruelty and stuff. But being a vegetarian has never really crossed my mind. I mean, I don't eat pork or beef, but chicken and fish are part of my "favorite food" list. And other animals do it too, right?

So I was a little . . disappointed when Ma'am Rhea started talking about vegetarianism - heck, she's a vegan(aside from not eating meat, she doesn't eat any dairy products, eggs, honey . . anything from animals)! She even started showing clips of pigs, cows, and chickens in the, er, factory farm thingies. Not a pretty sight. I actually cried - they were cramming the pigs in cages and kicking the cows. My god, they were that cruel! I had to close my eyes for the chicken part because I was already crying like an idiot.

I guess it's a food chain thing, but I wish they had more human ways of killing. And I now pity the pigs, cows, and chickens - it's almost like saying, they are born to be eaten. Which is sad. What I'm more against is the factory farming part(rather than the "eating dead bodies" part, since it's the balance of nature - lions eat other animals, too). My dad won't allow me to go veg yet - not only because of iron deficiency but because he says I'm "growing"(yada yada yada) . . but I think I'll go veg when I turn 18. For now, I'll avoid chicken as much as possible(but still eat if I have to), turn to fish(do fish go into factory farms? I dunno), tofu, and veggies.

(and as a plus, Ma'am Rhea and Kuya Anjo[?did I spell it right?] said they lost weight when they became vegetarian/vegan. I could use it for maintenance!)

oh, and random: I'm thinking of making a layout for this crappy blog. I just can't come up with any ideas . . grrrrrr.
