Listening to: Amie- Damien Rice  (from the album Cannonball)
Listening to Damien Rice makes me want to go twirling under a moonlit sky…

For lack of pics of my own, I grabbed this from you Melissa.. thanks again *beams* oh and click to enlarge..

Went out for the most wonderful Girls’ Day Out on Wednesday. It’s liberating to be able to lepak with accomplished, confident, beautiful and supportive women - the bond of sisterhood between women is a truly unique one and something I suggest every woman should take under consideration. When you are surrounded by a bunch of supportive females who love you for who you are, then all the negativity in the world that stem from biatches of every walk of life cannot touch you..and even if it does, this support network will cradle your fall.

Only girls know just how devious and cruel other girls can be…boys just ‘take it outside’, kick each other’s nuts (pardon my language) and then go out for a beer. Women aren’t quite so physical (catfights aren’t so intimidating and we don’t exactly have nuts either). Instead they (we?) work behind the scenes, cerebrally and emotionally, and can effectively annihilate another woman’s dignity, image and self-esteem. Now this isn’t me being anti-female or whatever; this is me being practical and speaking from experience - both from things I’ve seen and people I’ve talked to.

The only immunity from that is to ensure that you surround yourself by women that know you and love you for who you are - who will build you up when others break you down, who listen to your woes but affirm your spirits, friends who have the guts to say ‘Sayang you’re being ridiculous, that is a Human Walking Forehead!"…you get my drift?

I am not in any way saying men aren’t good friends; I have male friends who have proven to be every much as supportive as women, and having a bf that believes you are the most beautiful woman to him honestly helps

What I am saying however is that female friendship and support is equally important for a woman to fend off the ‘Miss S’s‘, ‘Ira’s’ and ‘S**ts‘ of this world. For those days when you feel fat and ugly, worthless and angry - having other girls around who can honestly look you in the eye and tell you sternly when you’re being ridiculous or lend a shoulder or listening ear - can truly help. I know what it is like to feel all those negative emotions (I am in no way as normal as some people think I am) but knowing some very crucial women along the way have helped enhance my esteem and boost my self-confidence.

For this I am extremely grateful.

Melissa, Marlene and Cheryl - I am truly grateful to have met you girls, here’s to many many many many more of these days..maybe next time Dayana can come too hehe…ooh maybe next time minus the Tripod Drama and the creepy Secret Recipe guy. Keke..

Take care chicas…and erm.. chucks? Keke
