You remember I told you about the wedding I attended and my Matron of Honor speech? Here’s a new development. My best friend is going to have a baby! I’m so happy for her!

We have been together since we were freshies in college. We studied together, dreamt of being in love together, went boy watching together, and did a lot of activities together, wholesome or otherwise.

But that’s ALL in the past!

What’s important now is we both have families and we’re so content. Now on to scolding kids and telling them the following BS we were told by well-meaning but pesky adults while we were growing up:

• Sex is dirty and incredibly immoral, you will burn in hell if you do this before marriage! (hidden meaning: you must marry the guy you have sex with to avoid going to to hell)
• Never ever let anyone touch your hand (you’ll get pregnant!)
• A kiss could definitely get you pregnant!
• People who are out on the streets too late will turn to stone by midnight (and get pregnant!).
• Love is never hurtful.

Not the exact words, but you get it? Warnings and misleading prohibitions designed to inhibit budding vixens from being the go-getters, calculatingly clever career women, shrewd streetsmart girlfriends, and non-doormats that they could be. These don’t work at all. Nah-ah!

Growing adults will soon discover that:

• Relationships are painful if built solely on daydreams and unrealistic expectations.

• Sex isn’t dirty, and doing it before marriage won’t bring you the wrath of God. BUT it needs to be done by responsible adults who have the means to provide for the consequence (pregnancy).

• Love is something we reserve for people who respect us back.

• Having an opinion about everything and being liberal minded will shock conservative parents initially, then have them bursting with inexplainable PRIDE later on (albeit secretly).

We have a lifetime to discuss these things, and a few years of penance (in the hope that karma doesn’t bite our asses off!) before our kids get old enough to have their own say on things. For now though, it’s ‘how-to-make-sure-the-nappies-don’t-get-soaked’ advice.

The picture shows Diana Saw (on the far front left) working with the
Bloom team in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. She is a social entrepreneur,
someone who has the same mission as an NGO: to help people. The BIG
difference is that social enterprises do not depend on donations. They
have to make it on their own. In Diana’s case, she has funded a business
that employs Cambodian women who otherwise would have no means to make a
living. In the picture, they are adding sequins to some of the bags
which they will sell at the Bloom Shop.

Read more on entrepreneur.com.sg to find out how you can help not by donating, but by being a discerning consumer.

ABOUT BLOOM
Bloom Bags employs 10 Cambodians, all beneficiaries of Hagar’s job
placement scheme, who work closely as a team to produce original,
quality handmade bags.

Every Bloom bag is meticulously designed, cut, glued and sewn by the
Bloom team at our workshop in Phnom Penh. Each bag is handmade with love
and attention to detail (the Bloom team really enjoys making bags!),
resulting in beautiful bags we are sure you will love and your friends
will adore.

Did you know that it only takes minimal prodding for a guy to spill the beans? I have yet to meet a guy who doesn’t feel the need to talk about his conquests when asked directly.

It’s funny how sex stories seem to always be grander than life. It kind of makes you wonder how much of it is fiction. A guy once told me that he talks about his conquests with a girl under the premise that when the girl becomes impressed or curious enough, she might want to try sex with him. Assuming of course that the girl gets excited upon hearing those stories.

Another told me that sex stories are ways of making the storyteller himself excited, as it requires the reminiscing of a previous sexcapade. Apparently, the more excited the storyteller becomes, the wilder the story is.

• Kiss-and-tell is a reflection of the male (or female) ego… and an over-active imagination. No matter how long and winded the story is, you can sum it up in 3 words: I was good!!!.. or in four words: I was so good!!! … And the message is always the same: Try Me.

I do realize that guys talk about their stories differently with their homies and gal pals, compared to how they share their stories with a hot prospect: the main difference being the presence of demonstrative action and/or heavy breathing in the latter. XD

There was this guy who was so impressed with his performance that his stories are good enough to be published and made money off of. I don’t know how much of his friends believe him, but my take on these kinds of mind-boggling stories is always the same… “Ok, ok…let’s pretend that your stories are true, and let’s pretend that I believe you.”

It’s not whether they’re true or not, it’s how these can entertain people. As long as there are no names, and no copyright is violated, it’s fun to listen.

“Sometimes I wonder if I?ve known all along…

The way I always used to bump into you and seek your company at the peaks and valleys. The way you were sometimes not available and sometimes too available

The feeling that even when we were not together, I could sense that you were there for me.

The way we talked about everything and anything but always managed to avoid talking about us?what you felt?how I felt? the way I would always keep in touch?and I couldn?t explain why?

Maybe I did know in my subconscious?where the soul meets the heart

My whole life?all my past relationships?it seems as if it was all in preparation for a lifetime of happiness with you.

No second thoughts?no what ifs?just the amazing clarity that comes with the realization that this is how it should be.

I?ve never been so unbelievably happy and at peace…I can?t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
