Girl night

Went to Italian restaurant in Place de Chatelain with the girls yesterday, it was a pity that Irina is not in Belgium. It has been some time since our last girl nite. Cris quited her job but she is now starting her own project in tourism (she plans to take MBA in this subject), promoting Puerto Rico. Conversations go from jobs, no jobs, staying in Belgium, not staying in Belgium, babies (well, seems like 2005 is the baby boom year!!), then jobs again, boyfriends, ex-boyfriends, fitness, language lessons, gossips, foods, drinks, philosophy, smoking, quitting smoking..etc like any other typical girl nite.

Me and Sofia left around 12.30pm while the rest of them still hang out in a bar, we were too sleepy, don't know why, probably because of the wines and cigarrettes. The Russian girl and Spanish girl Irene insisted that we should stay but nah, I longed for my bed. Anyway, it's gonna be a busy weekend with Chinese lessons on Saturday morning, cheese and wine party in the evening (which will probably end in the next morning if we decide to go out), maybe brunch on Sunday with Ben and the gang if schedule doesn't overlap with my basket ball training ;-). Yeah, I am learning how to play that.

Weather is great otherwise, but it might not last until weekend...

This morning, on the way to work, I was thinking about "Euthanasia"...Recently, we heard on the news many cases where patients reuired a national right to life, some cases were accepted, some cases were not, created a drama where husband or father had to be in jail...What future will we be in? When will we arrive to convince the goverment or politicians to pass on a law in acceptance of people's will on giving their live? Since when, we have the right to decide for others? Imagin how much painful for them to live? Of course, it has never been simple to say "yes" to such decision, there are other things involved like heritage law, life insurance (what if someone died with will, will their family benefit on this?). But I am sure we will have resolutions. Meanwhile, my opinions tend to agree on euthanasia if someone not wanting to live because they are living like vegetables, and suffering a lot. It is better to let them go.
