The Woman's Brain

I came across this and forgot the source (please I beg for mercy if they decide to sue me under the copyright act), and it rather tickled my funny bone. When you look at it long enough, it does make sense, whoppee!! No wonder my urge for shoes is huge, look at the size of the gland! And yes, to those who really know me will absolutely agree that I talk too much..hee hee..not that they tell me to shut up or anything just that they enjoy talking to me (I think so…hmmm). And Yes, my constant migraine, usually its because I don’t get enough sleep or due to self conflicts that I find hard to resolve.

OK, lets go into this again shall we. Clockwise:

1. Impulse Shopping
Shopping, our favourite word. I call it therapy, because it always lifts up my spirit each time I buy something. It doesn’t have to be expensive just the feeling of owning that piece of new clothing, or new underwear. I think, women should be earning more because we do most of the shopping and we are the ones contributing towards the economy (here! here!). When walking in a department store, it’s almost rare to find our male counterparts (I’m talking about the straight ones) fiddling over a glass jar, or even in the men’s section. We women buy our men clothes, because we are supposed to be the caretakers towards their wellbeing and little things that they can’t even do on their own. “Honey, how do I turn on the microwave?”..and we rush to the kitchen to do it for them fearing they might blow something up!

2. Anniversaries and Birthdays
I must agree, we are really good at remembering these things. Have you ever tried this down, I mean take a piece of paper and write down all those people to actually know their birthdays by heart. It’s amazing at what you’ll find out. I wished this could have been put to use while I was studying for all my important exams (UPSR, PMR and SPM). Men, sometimes they even forget their own birthday so how can we blame them when we dress up really nice on that Friday nite waiting by the door and waiting and waiting and still he hasn’t come home..It’s your 3 year Anniversary and it somehow slipped their mind!! Hurrah for the male species!!

3. Gold Digging Sensory
Breakfast at Hilton’s, Lunch at Palace of the Golden Horses and Dinner within the rotating restaurant at the KL Tower! Who doesn’t hope for a good life, a life without the worrying of financial insecurities? So, don’t blame us when we hunt down men with money, It’s in our genes. We were born with it. Money First, Love Later? What are you?

4. Toilet Cleaning
Who likes cleaning the toilet? (Is it just me raising up my wee little hand?) Well, I just love the idea of going into a clean fragrant toilet!

5. Sex Initiator Gland
So small is the gland, almost invisible. I guess in my experience, I love to be seduced..i mean playing hard to get..cat and mouse chase. We only start when we want something right? So, there’s that!!

6. Gossip Control Center
Why are we so interested in the lives of others although we don’t actually know them. Let’s talk about celebrities! I mean the latest gossip I tried to avoid was Malaysia’s Singing Sweetheart marrying a Dato’ with kids…and he even divorced his wife few months before they announced the wedding? Hmm…see that’s where it starts. Perhaps all we can do is see if the marriage works and later when it doesn’t we can have another gossip session telling her ‘I told you so’.

7. Driving Skills
Raise up your hand if you’ve never ever hit anything in your life while driving! Well, you know why there’s no women in the F1..har har har.

8. I Told you so gland
A sense of always wanting to be correct. We just can’t help it when someone we know screw up and later tell them I told you so because few months earlier they came to us for advice but later chose to follow their heart. But actually, if they followed our advice and still they screwed up we’ll always say, That’s just darn too bad…oh boo hoo hoo!

9. Melrose Place Gland
Now, this gland is where we watch our favourite shows. And now we’re hot about Desperate Housewives. The show somehow gives us some motivation that we are normal, and by doing this and that is actually normal. We talk about the shows, we idolize the characters and we try to be them. No ones perfect you know!

10. Shiny Things & Diamonds Olfactory
“Diamonds are a girls bestfriend”, its ‘are’ not ‘is’ so yes, more than one! Remember Marilyn Monroe who sang that song? We are instantly bedazzled by shiny objects and yes DIAMONDS! Each time I walk past a jewelry store, I can’t help but stop and admire the gorgeous bling blings on display. Though we say its what come from the heart that counts, but deep inside we wished hard that they give us jewelry.

11. Realization of Wants Vs. Needs
We women folk can never distinguish between the two! Whatever we want we need! Ya see!!

12. Shoes
For the Love of Shoes! Why is it that we can never stick to the principle of buying shoes anymore? That blacks goes with anything? Because, Its much more prettier when our shoes match our outfits. So, if you have more than 5 pairs of shoes of the same genre then yes you’re a shoe addict.

13. Headache Generator
We have headaches because of all the other glands. Its tiring to have to worry about everything, ain’t it?

14. Talk, Talk and more Talk.
Look at the gossip gland and you’ll certainly know why this gland is the size it is.

Conclusion: Men should not try to understand women, because we ourselves have a hard time of understanding ourselves! CHEERS!

To ERR is Human, To Forgive DEVINE...

The verb "err" means to do something wrong; to make a mistake is "to err". "To err is human" because all people ("humans") make mistakes. "To err is human, to forgive divine" says we should try hard to forgive others because all people are human and its human nature that we make mistakes. When we make mistakes, we want others to forgive us right? So, its a win-win situation.
Example: "I hate what he did to me.''
Answer: "It is best to just let it go; to err is human, to forgive divine."
The world of people is "human" and the world of God is "divine". God's special power to forgive people for their mistakes is called "divine" mercy. When we forgive other people we are acting "divine". Only god is able to absolutely forgive without having any fallbacks..we on the other hand have some issues still connecting us to the person. Its hard for us 'Humans' to actually have the will to let go..
"To err is human, to forgive divine" says that we are all human and we all make mistakes so we should all try hard to forgive other people when they make mistakes.
Example: "I will never forgive my mother for what she has done!"
Answer: "Don't be angry at her. To err is human, to forgive divine." (Because we use the word "is" in the first phrase "to err is human" we do not use "is" again in the second phrase: "to forgive divine".)
We are all people who make mistakes so to forgive others when they make mistakes is the right thing to do; "to err is human, to forgive divine."

Is it LOVE???

What is love actually? I recently was made notice that the love I thought I felt was not actually whole yet. Loving someone means that you should accept them the way they are…the type of work that they do, their attitude, their personality, everything…When you love them ‘WHOLEHEARTEDLY’ only then will we be able to live by their side no matter how hard life gets.

-To love and honour in sickness and in health, through thick and thin, happiness and sorrow till death do us part!.. I thought I did love him sincerely..but from what I told him he said that he no longer knew me, he felt that I’m far and that there’s a possibility I may leave him. ‘Leave Him’..a word I know too well..I am a master at packing up and leaving just like that though a relationship is working! Crazy?? Yes, now I see it…I see it after it happens only to realize later that my actions were foolish and the actual person suffering was no other than ME..ME..ME!! Poor me! I should realize this now but I don’t know how. I can’t leave then find out later when later maybe too late to even go back! Ya see, I think I am screwed for life, cursed to even have this sort of feeling.

My definition of Love seems a myth, my idea of it..only in my imagination (UNREAL!!...but is it?). I know that I love spending every bit of my time with him, I know I miss him, I can’t stand not hearing his voice in a day..but can that be interpreted as Love? I was told that I have to find ‘What I Want, and what actually I am searching for in life…to know myself first then I’ll be able to love others as they love me..to give the ultimate love..TRUE LOVE! Someone used to tell me ‘I never loved him wholeheartedly’. though I tried and at the end I thought I did but then again…I’m not too sure now. Am I in Love with the idea of being in Love or am I really in Love? I am still unable to answer this question myself for myself…till then my heart will be in serious Jeopardy.
