Personal Blurbs..

I’m on the last week of our Philippine vacation and just yesterday I took stock of things I have accomplished and what I should be rushing to do the next couple of days. Well, right now I’m on the verge of tearing my hair out coz I totally forgot processing for my school transcript of records. I lost my original copy and since I’m planning to go back to school I’ll be needing it for the application.

I was thinking it’ll just need a day or two to process like last time so I put off going to my old school and just yesterday I learned it may take a few weeks to get everything done! Duh?! That is frustrating! To think they have computerized everything so how come it takes longer time to process?

It’s the same thing with passport processing here in the Philippines. Before it could take less than two weeks, shorter if you get it from regional consular offices but now that they have this online, computerized blah blah, you have to wait a couple of months before seeing your passport which just beats the purpose of having it computerized. I was hoping it’ll make the process more streamlined, organized hence faster but I’m dead wrong. So this is really a dilemma now for my mom who is planning to get her passport so she could go to Cambodia next year.

Anyway, thank God, I’m done with most of my other errands. I’m also done checking out a new car insurance for my parents. We were also planning to scout and do some touring of model houses in Cavite but I think we have limited time for that so that’l be shelved till I come back for another vacation. Hopefully by December..

So, what to do with my school transcript? I’ll still process the application and would probably just arrange to have it picked up or mailed..

Just Musing: Weaker Sex?

Don’t be surprised if I drop some ‘just musing’, random personal posts in here.. I think that’s a habit I share with lots of my girl friends, having those spur of moment thoughts and questions.. Just today, I’ve been making a backup of my files when this question suddenly occurred to me..

Are we really the weaker sex? Perhaps some would say yes. In some ways we have our weaknesses. Well, were definitely softer than men but who says that’s a weakness? I must admit that men could be stronger physically though but women just have ways around that.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a raging feminist. I simply like being appreciated as a woman by myself and by others. I don’t consider myself the weaker side of the human specie but rather an equal to men. How so? There are things that men can do that we, women can’t do, but then again that’s just fair coz there’s also a load of things we woman can that men just can’t.

When it comes to the question of whose the weaker sex.. I kinda like this quote as the answer..

I have an idea that the phrase “weaker sex” was coined by some woman to disarm some man she was preparing to overwhelm. ~Ogden Nash
