Are you a gentleman?

i wasn't around the comp yesterday n returning only to find a mail thread on 'how guyz should treat galz in a gentleman way', discussed by my FA mates.
i want to learn harder in 2006 not to say it out, not to get involved in argumentation, whenever possible. so i didn't participate.
so i think.. let each have their own opinion. no need to try convincing whoever else, life will teach us the ultimate lesson.

as for me.. i'd just say what i think to this blog.

there was one very funny part in the thread, the galz say 'guyz should offer to help the galz when they r bringing stuff. but not handbag.. that was stupid for guy to bring the girl's handbag'. i think, handbag is just stuff. why the discrimination? coz guyz look lame carrying girl's handbag? if that public image is the problem, then probably the guys would offer to carry other stuff for the sake of public image too, not bcoz they care. well they do care probably; they care about their own image. if galz are impressed with that, i will rest my case.
now you might say.. handbag is not heavy anyway, so why need help? if so, then it's not just about handbag. it's also about opening the car's doors and many other doors which take no great effort to do. and there is still many other so-called 'gentleman rules' that i believe make the women look so delicate and weak.

so how do you define the line between being a gentleman and a hypocrite?

i don't know. but as for me, i think u just have to be true to yourself. if you care, and you think that gal need your help, then do so. if she asks for your help, help her if that's what heart want to do. don't do everything for galz for the sake of that 'gentleman status', that's hypocrite.

do you realize when a pretty gal ask for help? all the guyz would offer their hands. and when it's a GUY who ask for help, you don't see such things. is that gentleman?

i am sorry to me that is not. if that is, then i'd rather erase that word 'gentleman' from my vocab.
i live by this principle only: "you are given strength and wisdom to protect and help the needy, whoever that person is"

of course it's true that generally galz are weaker physically and thus in many cases, the needy. what i am trying to say is, simply, use your wisdom and be true to your heart. do not discriminate in offering your hands. any other opinion that force you to do against that is, i believe, insignificant.

if all these make me fall into the non-gentleman-type, so be it.

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'

Ichi Rittoru no Namida

As Aya's condition gradually worsen, she could no longer walk or stand anymore. She would sometimes choke when she eat and she struggled to speak. There was only one thing that she could do, albeit which much difficulty. She could still write. One day her mum visited her at the hospital and seeing her struggling hard to write her diary, her mum asked her to rest. But she said.. "Okaasan.. you said that I can still write right? That's the only thing that I could still do. I have to write what I have in mind now because that is the only prove that I am living today." Even when she could hardly hold her crayon, she would still write her diary. I do not know whether the movie followed the true diary content but in the movie.. Despite the diary began with her questioning why she had to be the one to suffer from this cruel disease, it sweetly ended with a word: "Arigatou". Thanking her parents and siblings for being there right to the end, thanking her friends for...
