Do this in appreciation of me.

Do all this in appreciation of me.

When I cook something you don't like, eat it anyway. Don't eat it because it is good for you. Eat it to show appreciation for the time and effort I used to cook it.

Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?

When does suffering become a privilege?

Have I..

Have I been a good person lately?

Have I neglected God, my family, my friends, anyone out there?

Have I hurt anybody?

Have I been getting my priorities right?

Please tell me if I have.

Random Question

If you call someone who has an intense fear/dislike of homosexuals a 'homophobic', what do you call the opposite i.e. a homosexual who has an intense fear/dislike for heterosexuals, especially when the heterosexuals happen to be Christian?

Good Girls don't actually want Bad Boys

The notion 'Good Girls want Bad Boys' has been explored, condemned, and fantasized by the media, parents, good girls and bad boys alike. As a 'good girl' - or at least, this is what most of society, parents notwithstanding, tell me, I sometimes find myself embracing this forbidden fruit. Here are my thoughts on this paradox.




Ironic as this may seem, I have never even come close, let alone be with, a bad boy. I may have dated once, but that brief stint was with a goody-two-shoes nonetheless. So, why, do I keep reaching for the forbidden fruit?


Let's conveniently blame it on the media. Movies - money spinning engines that feed off human desire - grab the foul-mouthed, smoking, vulgarity-spewing thug off the street, put him under the hands of a stylist, hairstylist, make up artist, plastic surgeon etc., then throw him back where he came from.


The media knows all too well that girls, even good girls, swoon at the sight of sauve men. I am no exception. Hence, good girls, most of the time, hanker after a skewed image of badboys, instead of the real deal. This explains why, while I am dying to watch Crows Zero II, I still scoff at the sight of ah bengs smoking and getting drunk during school hours at the void deck.



So yes, I'm already 20. I've seen what bad boys are really like, and I'm a mass communications student no doubt. Yet, why am I still attracted to bad boys?

This begs the question, Do good girls really want bad boys?


Let's answer it this way, What do bad boys have that good boys do not?


Bad boys have less of a legal income, probably would not be able to afford proper housing, lack manners of all sorts, waste money on cigarettes and cheap bear.


Yet, they enjoy leadership in a very different sense of the word, do not experience or care about curfews, ride flashy bikes, have the freedom to say and do anything they want, just to name a few.


There you've got it. Good girls 'want' bad boys because they represent the side of life which they never had the opportunity to experience. Hence, good girls do not actually want bad boys, what they want is the life these bad boys have.


Oppressed inside every curfew-abiding good girl who tries everyday to please her parents is the desire to to do break the rules. Outwardly, she cannot express this deviance since it has already been instilled in her that it is a grave sin to do so. Thus, she permits the media to feed on her desire for the forbidden fruit and willingly parts with the time she could be using to do readings, and the money she could save, to catch Crows Zero 2 over the weekends.
