Oxymoron In The Tropics

What does woman power mean? I believe that it refers to a woman's courage and endurance, no matter what happens. A woman who has power is a woman who fights for what she wants. She is... ... the schoolgirl speaking up for a place on the debate team. ... the sweeper lady who is fighting to put food on the table for her children. ... the housewife who is battling to keep hearth and house together. ... the bank officer struggling to balance accounts in time for her to rush home and have dinner with her family ... every woman who has ever hungered for something and fought for it no matter how many times she gets beaten down. And all of a sudden, I thought of Jessica Rabbit. Jessica Rabbit, the quintessential sex-on-legs who KNEW what she looked like and yet accepted it and still got on with her life with her darling Roger. AND she was willing to fight for that life. I really liked that about her... And the part in the film when she's revealed for the first time can still produce ...

For the past few weeks, a girlfriend of mine has been in agony over a loved one. But the way I hear it, she's better off without him. Heard a song on the radio that I'd love to hear her dedicate to him... Cry Me A River Now you say you're lonely You cry the long night through Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you Now you say you're sorry For being so untrue Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head While you never shed a tear Remember, I remember, all that you said You told me love was too plebeian Told me you were through with me and Now you say you love me Well, just to prove that you do Come on and cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you I cried a river over you I cried a river...over you... And Barbra Streisand gives a killer version of this song.

I'm a member of an online forum and one topic came up about an elaborate con job just to steal a mobile gadget.  But a very expensive gadget.  Read and be wary...there are people who are willing to go to all lengths for illicit profit. The post in MyPDACafe And if you're too lazy to click, here's the gist of it, spelling mistakes and all.  But you have to remember that this was written by a guy in mourning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well... before i start my ramblings... Data on the PDA Phone that was 'given away' HTC TYTNII Hw Serial ht548dv07365 I had a phone call to the office in the morning about 1030am asking for the sales person. This guy called Liew, introduced himself as a CFO of SJ resources.

Sometimes things happen that rattle me. They aren't earthshaking or life-endangering or stuff like that. But when they happen in a combination, I get rattled. So when that happens, I look for my security blanket. For some people, security blankets may mean an old teddy bear, a favourite rocking-chair or whatever. My security blankets are human beings who let me vent and they even go,"Uh-huh..." very patiently when I spout nonsense. My husband is one (obviously!) and I also have one in Johor, one and a half in KL and two in KK. But after pouring out all my fears and worries onto them, I feel so relieved. In case anyone wonders, this particular kind of security blanket takes about ten years to develop.
