Nothing Can Ever Get A Good Woman Down

My love story began five days ago. It was mindblowing and earthshaking... made me forget about work, deadlines and all. Let me share it with you. Here goes...

Love Story

I will seek and find you. I shall take you to bed and have my way with you. I will make you ache, shake & sweat until you moan & groan. I will make you beg for mercy, beg for me to stop. I will exhaust you to the point that you will be relieved when I'm finished with you. And, when I am finished, you will be weak for days. All my love, The Flu Now get your mind out of the gutter and go get your flu shot!

Gotcha! Mind you, we better get flu shots these days. With the changeable weather, one easily gets sick. And for a single mom like me, it won't do for me to get sick. I have no one else to do the housechores, write my articles (my bread and butter) and guide my kids in school... I have to try to be supermom... superwoman! No sense at all in getting sick. But then I am a mere mortal… and mortals fall ill. Thank God for friends who send me jokes to cheer me up during bad days.

Now that I am back, work awaits. Got to beat my deadlines… or I am d e a d!

Blowing Bubbles

Been like a bubble lately, floating mindlessly and just letting myself be swept downstream... just going with the flow with no thought whatsoever... nothing except the desire to forget all the tragic, sad and ugly.

Though life has dealt me with a blow, I had been feeling so numb, detached as if I was nothing but a spectator watching a human drama unfold…Then… wham! What a shocker! I could feel again. I could experience the highs and lows. I was ecstatically happy upon knowing this... There was that bubbly feeling … my whole being was suffused and vibrated with that inner knowledge of being loved.

But like a Shakespearean drama, I realized then that there are things not meant to be… there are things beyond our grasp. Most often these things spell happiness for us. But like bubbles, they burst. And like bubbles they get blown away…

What do they take women for?

I have been on the net for quite sometime now doing online teaching of ESL. Lately, I tried my hand at blogging. I was busy creating a blog post in this site when someone pinged me. Thinking it was one of my contacts, I replied. Realizing he was not, I discouraged him by saying I am busy. The guy persisted and said it was okay. He said that he just wants a favor - can i just watch him for a few minutes? He went on to say that I don't have to do anything but watch. He would try not to disturb me. He just wanted to let off steam and stress from work. There was no need for participation, only being an audience was enough. I said thanks but no thanks.

Aargh! There are quite a number of guys who are on the net for this. These people think that it is okay to ask women to watch them make a jerk of themselves. He would not disturb me, he said, I only needed to watch. That's sheer stupidity. Calling a complete stranger to show off his sexual urges is perversion. I think it also constitutes harassment of the woman. I can't help but ask, what do these men take women for?
