it's a small, small world
i was recently referred to a blog by a girl giving advice on asian american christian dating and imagine my surprise when i discovered that the blog author is none other than an old high school classmate of mine!! :) it took a while cuz i didn't recognize her from the photo on her blog. but as i read on, the pieces started falling into place and i couldn't shake the feeling that i knew her! so i emailed her and asked. and sure enough...it's her.
she makes some good points on her blog. especially this post on the lost art of chivalry. :D Now guys, before you turn away in disgust, I really urge you to read her post cuz, speaking as a girl, i can vouch that these little, seemingly insignificant & pointless acts really do make a difference. they make a girl feel safe and cared for. they show that you respect and care about her as well. (of course, i'm not saying you've gotta to all 7! that's reserved for the fairy tale prince charming :]) AND if you do it for ALL women, then HUGE kudos to you cuz that TOTALLY shows character.
i feel like i've gotta give a shout out to my carpool buddy,C, who is the only person i know who does this. i was pretty shocked that he always opened the car door for me, but i soon learned that he does it for all his female acquaintances. that's just impressive beyond words. so way to go, C! =P hope that doesn't embarass you too much. hee hee

Hi Shal! I hope to see you at dinner tonight.
chivalry died when women left the kitchen and started voting and demanding equal wages!
"j"--oh NO you didN't!
chivalry definitely DIED when j commented.
Madonna performed a great concert. She sang a few of her old songs from the 80's. It was 2 hours long and she didn't do an encore.
imagine reading about yourself on that dating blog ...
is this the same cw you once thought was ml?
anonymous, could your refresh my memory? ;)
because you were looking at cw from the wrong angle?
um..you should know how good my memory is. you're gonna have to help me more than that! :) like who's the ml you're referring to? and who the heck are you???
ok, let's try again. is this the cw that's gt's ex? and, um, i'm... your secret admirer, hehehe.
(different non-secret-non-admirer anonymous) this is the cw that's jw's ex.
i'm not sure i know any jw's though... aah, i give up.
highly suspicious that anonymous should still be checking these comments after 9 days of silence....hrm...
and yeah. who's jw??
highly suspicious that you should come back yourself after 9 days of silence... did i scare you off? =P
anytime i get a comment, i get an email from blogger, so that's how i know when there's a new comment...but why are you still checking??
because i still don't know if your cw is also the cw i know of.
if you tell me who you are...i'll tell you if you're right about cw. ;)
an intruiging offer, but if you know whether i'm right about cw, then you surely know who i am as well.
actually it was a totally different anonymous that started checking a 9 day old thread...
creepy eh?
too many anonymous commenters!!! AHHHHHH
