I am Woman

I am Woman. Who belongs to this country, or better, who belongs to this world. I have my own universe where I move, my own thoughts, my own desires, my own beliefs, my own weaknesses, have a variance from Man (or is there?).

I am one of the ordinary but I believe has a big difference from the ordinary.

I am Eve trying to alleviate my living from the destitution I was born with. I am Eve who fights the challenges in life – trying to liberate own family from poverty, working alone, alone facing life’s hurdles.

I am Eve, unashamed of saying what I feel and think about many things. Even the desire to attain pleasure during intercourse is expressed freely. Even in areas where I want to be touched, kissed, caressed, I say frankly without hesitation or doubt or worry. I am Eve who tries ways to earn and receive bliss.

I am Woman who believes in God, in His power, in His mystery, in His mercy. I am Woman who does not hesitate to tell God my thoughts and my desires.

There are many Eves who just receive and not give; who keeps silent and not talk when needed; who gives in and not refuse when required; and who just watch and not participate.

I do not belong to that group of Eves – I give, I talk, I refuse, I participate. I make sure that I have my rights intact, I have my freedom and the respect that is due me.

Different? Bold? Maybe. But I am not an ordinary Eve.

Twittering

Do you have a Twitter account? And if you have, why do you have a Twitter account?

Because it’s free. It’s a message utility. Those are attractive features to me. First, it’s free and second, I can utilize it to send messages to friends and followers(?) . You know the thing you use to update (friends and followers) synchronously. The vehicle to tell the world, “Hey, I just woke up and I haven’t brushed my teeth yet!” as if that matters.

There were geeky observations that this communication instrument is being abused and improperly utilized because some twitterers (?) just use it to market their blog posts, or articles. They say that is unjustifiable. “Errr.. sirs.. am guilty, your honors!” I actually use the darn tool most of the time to update (friends and followers) about my recent posts and articles. Just like that.

Because I cannot think of a sane reason why people would be interested in my daily activities. “Sirs, I am not interesting. I am not MJ. I am not Madonna. I am not Aubrey Miles (who is following me, and my kids told me that it is not Aubrey Miles he he, that it is so easy to fake Twitter accounts – “how true, how true?”).”

And because I am guilty, I tried a different approach. I tried to read the updates of the friends and followers(?). And it’s worth it! I discovered great finds, I mean twits:

from reyna_elena – New blog post: Freddie Aguilar says Charice and Arnel Pineda proved that Filipinos are “monkeys”

from DoreenRulz – Is this shadow the ghost of Michael Jackson in Neverland | The Daily Telegraph

from ringernation – Michael Jackson to be buried without his brain

from cbcpnews – Health NGO to DOH: You should’ve done better combating A(H1N1)

While maybe some of the twitters find the whole activity boring, try to browse and click. You will discover things that might be of interest to you. You’ll find interesting blog pages, too!
