One Pet Peeve

I have many pet peeves.
Things which I just simply hate.

Of course, I have mentioned some of them. Here's one more.

Ultimately, I can't stand girls taking pictures of themselves wearing a helmet, especially a motorcycle helmet.

I know, this might sound a little ridiculous, but really, I can't stand it.

Helmets are not exactly the coolest things to wear. They're not like hats, or scarves where one wears them as an accessory. Helmets are functional. They serve a purpose. To protect he wearer from serious head injury in the event of an accident.

Almost any sort of high impact, potentially deadly activity requires the participant to wear a helmet. And taking pictures is defnitely one of them.

Here's why.
Girls take pictures of themselves wearing helmets, sitting on some pimped-up 2-stroker on a sidestand, pretending to be riding the bike. It ain't hot, ladies. Especially if you're a minah in denial.
Guys on the other hand, don't do that. Instead, they take pictures of their helmets in a row, reflecting their participation in some biker group.

I really can't stand it. Helmets are meant for the grimy, and those who don't mind getting dirty. But properly made-up dolls with overplucked eyebrows just don't cut it for me. I'm sorry ladies, especially if your boyfriend/scandal/husband rides a KRR, TZM, Wave, 125Z, X1R, Spark, NSR, RXZ or WR200. (Read: Motor Mat Rep).
They just have a certain aura which irks me, and to have their dolls in the front seat as well just don't cut it for me.

But we've always had images of a hot girl riding a big bike and flaunting her long wavy hair as she removes the helmet. Now THAT'S nice.

So ladies, don't take pictures of yourselves wearing helmets. It takes less than 10 secs to remove the helmet and pose.

Sue, thank god we don't take pics like that. And we shouldn't.

Violent Love

vi·o·lence
noun

physical force: the use of physical force to injure somebody or damage something

I do not condone, violence. Any act of it is definitely frowned upon. Violence, especially that against women, children and animals deserves nothing less than a corkscrew to the balls, after a squeeze, pull and a rip.

I had a call this afternoon, from a friend, who has become closer to me and Sue in the past few months. It's been a good thing, so I ain't complaining.

So this girl, let's call her A, called me up this evening. She asked me and Sue out for dinner, and I was gonna confirm with her again my attendance, when she called. She mentioned 3 of the most unthinkable words. "He assulted me."

It was pure disbelief. I knew which "he" A was talking about, and this "he" (at this point lets call him F) was her ex. Actually I'm not sure what their status is, she refers to him as her ex.

I knew A thru Sue, and F thru A. But I consider myself closer to F then to A cos we're colleagues. So smoke breaks and catching up under the big tree in front of our building was pretty common.
And A is generally a well-mannered guy. A little rough around the edges abit, but still an overall good-natured guy.

And for this to be coming, I'm torn. Between a battered friend, or a smoke-buddy.

(Smokers: You know how close you can easily get to strangers, especially when you share a stick.)

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," says one book of wisdom.

I'm angry. I don't tolerate physical violence. Not even a threat. I lose all respect for a man, when he threatens to hit me, either by virtue of the fact that I may be in the wrong or not. Again, it's just wrong. I won't put up a fight, but I'll let you beat me, so that you get your satisfaction, and loss of respect.

The law gives protection to victims involved in abuse. The Women's Charter safeguards the women even more.

I believe that there's a non-violent way to resolve disputes, arguments and dissatisfaction. Violence doesn't solve anything. It's just like sweeping dirt under the bed. It's still there!

If you need to hit, or break anything, like a cage, a bridge, or even wall. And I'm not refering to ribcage, nose bridge, or stomach wall. I'm refering to the real hard stuff. Perhaps when it hurts you, then you'd realise that it the punch, or slap landed on a real person, it would hurt her more than it hurt you.

As Isaac Asimov mentioned: "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

So let's take a step to non-violence.

I lvoe you, Sue.

Dear God, Give me the answers I seek. Give me the strength to continue loving and caring, in this world full of hatred, and discontentment.

Dear God, do give me the strength, to go another day, with all the challenges I face.

Dear God, give me the ability to be the best that I can be, for my family and friends.

Dear God, please ensure her safety, and the safety of those she loves, and those who love her.

Dear God, don't take away this gift of patience, and faith which you have bestowed upon me, as it helps me keeps my sanity in times like this. Don't take away the love that I have for the people I care for.

Dear God, beyond everything I ask for help to make sure that the people I care for remain as happy as can be, even though you need to shroud me in misery.

random-things to say .

Choosing to Love you,
Is the best decision I've made, so far.

Wanting you to be happy,
Is my only consideration now.

Leaving you all alone,
Was never an option.

To be thinking about you always,
Is not easy, especially in tough times.

Being CHOPE
Is incomplete without the REAL chickadee.
