the changes in me

I am changing, through the time..
Some are good, and some are not so good (never say bad )
But mostly caused by my environment changes..
One of the example that i recently notice that my fear of dogs are now reduced.
Yes i am afraid of dogs.
Most possible it is because as muslims we are not suppose to get close with dogs due to their saliva that are categorized as najis.
And in my home town dogs are scary. They barks loudly, a thatnd like to chase human.
But here, dogs are everywhere.. Thai people loooove dogs. they feed them, play with them, even when it is kampung dogs or budug dogs that swim at wastewater treatment pond

Seeing dogs here is just like seeing cats in Indonesia.
They walk freely, and they are in every corner of the street..
At first I got crazy every time i saw dogs near me..
And the think that make it worst is they (the dogs) seem to know when we are afraid of them, and start to barks, or following us.
But now i changed. I adapt.
Now I stayed cool when a dog pass me by. Or at least try to be as cool as possible.
Even when my professor's huge golden retriever come towards me this morning at my morning run time, only because i give him a sour smile (senyum kecut maksutnya, hehehe) as my heart beats faster..
He was unleashed, but luckily the prfessor's wife was there and called him because she notice that i start to walking backward..
But still... I stayed cooooool
