I woke up at 3 in the morning. My shorts felt wet. True enough it was. It was wet with blood. The curse is back to haunt me again! (Hehe.) See how comfortable I am with my gender? I can talk about menstration online. Just don't force me to act all girly. Anyway, as I was washing my soiled panty and shorts (do we need a censor?), my sleepy head got to thinking how unfair it was that only women have to go through with this. By this I mean the whole stained panties-cramps-mood swing-napkin rash thing. It's unfair isn't it? Only women who get pregnant too. Sure it was funny watching now Gov. Arnold Swarchenegger go through pregnancy in Junior, but let's face it, it's only a movie.

Truth be told, women go through more hardships every day than men. I am not being a man hater, nor am I pronouncing women as the superior sex. It's all facts. Men don't have menstration. They don't know what we're talking about even if they are now popular endorsers for panty liners and napkins. My mom would always say that women's tolerance to pain is higher than men's. It's true. You try having a baby go out your vagina and tell me if that doesn't hurt. Yet there are mothers that have more than 10 children. They bore each and every one of them. Oh, and by the way, haven't been pregnant and I am proud to be a virgin.

Darn it, I lost my point altogether.

I guess I'm just ranting, not exactly complaining, just thinking out loud. I came across this quote at http://www.sullivanet.com/misc/looneybin/deep.htm, "Yes, God created man before women, but you always create a draft before the final masterpiece. Three cheers for girl power!


This is a picture of me (the girl in the middle, fatigue pants, spag strap top, black bonnet) and my work mates, along with representatives from PNOC. This was taken back in July 29. It was our first day at Mt. Apo. We were just preparing to set up camp. Did you know that it was an incredibly stupid idea to wear that top to Mt. Apo? I was so cold, plus the fact that it was also drizzling a bit when we were unpacking. But still, I loved every moment of it. Just wanted to share it, that's all.
