In a brief conversation, a man, speaking to a woman, was out to pursue the question, "What kind of man are you looking for?"

She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asked, "Do you really want to know?"
Reluctantly, he said, "Yes" as she began to expound...


"As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself.

I pay my own bills. 

I take care of my household without the help of any man- or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, 'What can you bring to the table?'"

The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money.

She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money... I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life."

He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.

She said,

"I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection Mentally. I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man.

I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection Spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... Believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster.

I need a man who is striving for perfection Financially because I don't need a financial... burden.

I am looking for someone who is Sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but Strong enough to keep me grounded.

I am looking for someone who I can Respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive... He just has to be worthy.

God made woman to be a helpmate for man. At this point, I can't help a man if he can't help himself."


When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face, and exclaimed,  "You're asking for a whole lot!"

To which she gracefully replied...
"Only if you think I'm not WORTH a lot." :)

more on my ultimate high

more on my ultimate high:

...greenhouse plant sale..i bought plants with names...impatiens (latin for impatience) and celosia( sounds like selosa)....puhahahahahahaha!

....cotton district arts festival....didnt buy any interesting artwork, "interesting" meaning student cheap. But got to eat grilled baby back ribs(eh?) and enjoyed good new orleans type jazz music. 

...public library ...haywire!.. 50 cents for all hardbound good quality books.. heaven.

...unfortunately, i wasnt able to watch the open horse show i've been waiting for (dang it). sad.

... i love as the semester ends... except for..

        1 million papers to grade and students bugging me for extra review sessions before the finals!
        3 projects i need to finish..( caused by too much procrastination!)
        and incessant journal reading!

oh well...tiheeee.

dog musher

these dogs are so adorable!....

I would love to run one iditarod race in my lifetime! I'm considering being a dog musher now. It doesn't pay much but the thrill compensates for it.

spring sales

my form of crack/pot/: Sales!

Library book sale last week was fabulous! Got to fill 2 boxes with good books. Now,I have enough giddy reading material to last me a year.

Skirt spring/summer sale was also crazy. Got a couple for a few bucks, just in case i wake up  and have a  "let's go to lab wearing a skirt day" episode.

car sale? i hope one pops up soon. Kub, my old and ratty car has been coughing up black smoke for  the past few  days.He's sick and i think anytime, he's going to give in.

and the musical items sale..not actually cheap, but i went ahead and bought myself a couple of strings.. maintaining a lot of musical instruments is actually costing me much more the i expected. the strings (which i keep on breaking)  cost a fortune!

sales..my ultimate high!  but it's leaving me dry..:)

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

    I would have to go against the critics and tag this as a weird movie. I was probably not prepared to watch an emotionally draining  "romantic comedy" film with so much subliminal message in it. It would be nice however to have your memory be selectively obliterated and  be left with only happy memories.

Even if memory erasure were possible, I think i'll still opt to keep my" not-so-good" memories safely tucked in my cerebrum, because it is afterall ,partly the reason of why i am what i am. And as of the moment I am happy with what I have become.

Taiwanese quote

I remember a quote my Taiwanese friend  shared to me once... She mentioned it in her language and I couldn't remember the exact saying ( give me a break...im not Taiwanese) but i sure do remember its english translation...

" Find someone who'll love you, not someone who's at par with you.."

Yeah, it's a subtle way of saying that the female race is becoming superior and that there are no equivalent number of men to choose from, so just settle for someone who'll give you all your whims and wants even if he cant carry out a decent conversation or dig the depths of your humor .    Harse, eh? oh well.. my point is this quote is flawed (Note: this is my own perspective..others might argue).  I wonder if the Taiwanese would  kick my ass if i altered their  ancient quote..tihee...  My version of the quote would be:

"Find someone who's at par with you, and teach that  someone to love you.."

Aaaaaah...cruel..hahaha. 

wine class

Night class on wine tasting.As if what I'm doing now is not enough...I add this on top of my de-stressing program :). Give me 3-4 months and hell I'll be a wine connoisseur. tiheee..
