The book I am reading, 'What the Dog Saw', has a lot of interesting stories to learn from.
For example, one of the articles was inspired by this statement:
It is not 'natural' for women to menstruate every 28 days, or every month if you will.
Ok.. let me first clarify this. I am not, and have never been interested in such topic. I only found the article to be interesting. Just in case anyone doubt my gender conviction ^__^
According to some research, women in the past, or those currently living in relatively primitive tribal environment in Africa, would normally have significantly longer period for their menstruation.
It's the food we are eating (especially those KFC and McDs), and the environment we are living in, that expedite women's puberty age and shorten the menstrual period.
I thought it was peculiar because in Indonesian, we even call menstruation 'datang bulan', a reference to monthly nature of the event.
But apparently, the monthly occurrence is not really natural. It's 'usual'.
And I believe a lot of things nowadays, those we think are 'natural', are not really natural. It just becomes usual.
Though I must say that when it comes to marriage, things around me have not been usual lately.
We got a girl who just cancelled off her wedding.
She got everything ready- invitations, gowns, hotel, etc.
But for reason I can't publish here, she decided not to go ahead.
In any case, may God reserves for her a better future.
Now.. at the other part of the globe,
we got 1 bride-to-be who are doing everything and anything, ethical or unethical, to make sure that she got married. Gosh -__-
No.. we don't know this girl that well.
I wish I do. Coz I really want to ask her,
'how come like that one??!!'
