Abstinence could be a very good reason to kill someone slowly ;-)

I'm on the path of becoming a ‘Bhikkhuni’(a female Buddhist monk). So I had to do some research on how to successfully become one. You know how the Internet can be...you end up getting more information than you need. Well in one of those random "research" surfing days. I ended up finding out this.

Abstinence

Possible psychological effects

There have been numerous studies indicating that excessive repression of the sexual instinct leads to an increase in the overall level of aggression in a given society. Societies forbidding premarital sex are plagued by acts of rage and tend to have higher rates of crime and violence.There may be a link between sexual depression and aggression, insensitivity, criminal behaviour, and a greater likelihood of killing and torturing enemies.

Interesting. Soooo I say screw simple life, the Buddha’s teaching and wearing orange robes. Jump straight to shaving my head, treating myself to some dangerously nice toys. Start working on my list and become the first serial killer female monk.

old ppl R mean... Kids R Asses

Brat : Mom have you had friends in high school who took drugs?

Poor Me : ya

Brat : Did they make you take drugs too?

Poor Me : Not make but asked ya

Brat : Did you say No?

Poor Me : I said No Many Many Times, every time they asked I said No.

Brat : How long ago was this? 19 something?

Poor Me : ya early 1990's

Brat : That is so cool

Poor Me : What is ?

Brat : I have parents who were born in the 19th century. There is so much history right there. Wow mom How was the 19th century like ? I'm surprise they even had drugs then. tell me more!

Poor "OLD" Me : Well lets see... we didn't have Nintendos, hand phones, cool bike , roller scooter, the Internet, Nickelodeon...you know stuff like you enjoy very much, which I intend to confiscate them all in 10 secs if you don't leave me alone Brat!

Brat : Old people are mean.

Poor "OLD" Me : well you are an Ass !

I'M...

Last entry July 2011. Wow. Honest fact...there was nothing to write about. Ppl have been giving me beef about my long absence. when i told them I've nothing to say. So they asked me about the brat. Has he not said or done anything for a whole year?! Guys Guys of coz he did many things and said many many things. I just wasn't paying any attention. Yes finally Ive realised my parents child rearing methods were not all so bad after all. the very little memories my mother has of her kids are sweet ones, Which I don't recall btw. All I remember she ass whopping us but she doesn't remember ever raising her hands or even her voice at us. since I've gotten back all she does is wait till i lose my patience with the brats and punish them...So she can go into her "holy" grandmother phase. " Why are you so mean?! Ive never punished you and your brother like this! leave my babies alone!"
uh Yes Mom you are so Right. you never did punish us like this. There is definitely a whole lot of difference between a Ass whopping by a metal spoon compared to a 10 mins time out !
Now Ive traumatised them for life holy crap besides their college fund(which i doubt Brat needs since we are very aware of his maths skills)I better save for therapy for the future.  So ya I've stopped paying attention to the "innocent" remarks and "cute" outtakes of the brats. For the past 1 and a half years I've perfected the art of "I'm too bloody tired to care" phase which i like to call "zombie like robot". I get things done but don't expect me to have a reaction.

fast forwarding...

On the good note. I'm back where my buds are, some which have been my punching back for the past year. Night watch and I have had a challenging year but now we are actually closer and not worlds apart. I have lost weight, very soon reaching my 50 kg goal. Will finally take a vacation ALONE very soon (time to shop for Bikinis!). My dishes and car washed so clean you can actually do a brain surgery on, thanks to my OCD Bro. Managed to walk through Clarke quay without white boy hassle thanks to the many many options around. keep up the Gd work ladies. God Bless you Maahaals.

Wish you my friends all the best, lets hope next year is a better one for all of us.
 peace out

Recap...2011

Yeah, yeah, we know, we know. Our year end recap is a bit overdue... Welll deal with it! M.T and my 2011 & first quarter of 2012 have been hectic to say the least. There were some upsides though...

Let's see, there was an addition to Prof Aapu's family. Our heartfelt congrats to the Prof and his Mrs. Of course the Prof has taken it in his head that his bundle of joy has planned a mission for him and out to get him ... Well we always knew it's in the blood yeah? :P

M.T also had an addition to her family, this time it's of the two legged variety and a lady to boot! We've been trying so long to make M.T into one that we've lost hope. So kudos M.T! :P

April 'O Neal has found the Love of her Life... Congrats we think??? The jury's out on that count though... :P

I've had a shitty year since Aug. In and out of the hospital since last Aug. A couple of major surgeries and a real unpleasant experience at the start of the year. Hopefully the year will start to turn around the next quarter yeah? Pray for me people! :D

A few shout outs from me with song lyrics...

To my dearest M.T, from Robbie Williams, Angel,

And through it all she offers me protection.
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong.
And down the waterfall wherever it may take me,
I know that life won't break me, when I come to call she won't forsake me.
I'm loving angels instead...

To Miss Poodle, The Pretenders, I'll stand by you,

When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do.
Nothing you confess, could make me love you less.
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you...

To Little Turtle, Eagles, Heart of the matter,

These times are so uncertain, there's a yearning undefined.
...People filled with rage. We all need a little tenderness,
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness,
They're the very things we kill, I guess.
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms.
And the work I put between us, doesn't keep me warm.
I'm learning to live without you now, but I miss you, Baby.
The more I know, the less I understand.
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again.
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter,
But everything changes, and my friends seem to scatter.
But I think it's about forgiveness...Forgiveness...

Last but not least, Mr Bear, The Rembrandts, I'll be there for you,

So no one told you life was gonna be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA ...
It's like you're always stuck in second gear, when it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year...
But... I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cuz you're there for me too...

Enough mushy stuffy! Let's laugh a little,
