Objectifying Women

Dearest Yamapi,

It is understandable for men to do it. But I don't understand why some women do it too. And so willingly at that. As if they accept being objectified by men and it makes them feel good that men approve of them and are attracted to them in that way. It just gets me on my nerve. You must be wondering where the hell did this come from?
Well, I'll give you a few examples.

1. Wild One by Flo rida feat Sia
If you listen to the song, you will catch phrases like "Saddle me up and let's begin", "Tame me...."  sang by the girl and a bunch of scantily clad women surrounding the guy as if they are worshipping him and wishing that he would "saddle them up". It's disturbing. Degrading in a way. I don't understand how someone could come up with this idea. I get that they are trying to fit the title with the taming thing but is making women into animals to be tamed a new pick-up line for men nowadays? What's worse its the women's line who sang that, as if she is inviting the guy to degrade her into a mere animal that he could "saddle up" and "tame". For those who didn't get what it meant...I could spell it out for you word by word, but I don't think that would make my blog safe for children to browse through........so I will leave that to your imagination.

2. High Heels
The other day I was reading the news and I came across a report on thousands of red sole shoes being recalled from retail shops because they were fakes made by China and were intended to be sold as originals and at that to make a lot of money. For those who didn't know the significance of red sole shoes, they are the trademark line of high fashion shoes designed by Christian.L.

Notice that they ALL have red soles!!  VERY INNOVATIVE AND GORGEOUS!!!!! But TOO high!!


No surprise there. China has made itself notorious for doing underhand things. =.=

I remembered seeing some red sole shoes on sale at La Baie and so I clicked on the link that lead me to the page on Christian.L and his latest designs of designing heels that seems to me to be trying to allow the wearer to reach the heavens from the "height" of it.
  

See What I Mean? Who WEARS that AND CAN STILL WALK PROPERLY? SERIOUSLY!

I don't know about you but I think this is going over board. Sure!! Heels do make gurls look sexy and in shape but can you imagine the pain that we have to go through wearing those beasts? And the years of pain one has to go through while "training" to wear heels? YES I've said TRAINING to wear them. Coz no one can wear these properly the first few times. One must wear them periodically to make oneself accustomed to the discomfort and several runs to perfect the walk that look more like someone shot u in the ankle and you were walking around town in a gait that resembles a zombie the first few times.
So WHO the HELL inventing these things ANYway? SURE now we have perfected the look of heels which made women vulnerable to their beauty and what it can potential do to the shape of your ass. But WHO came up with this idea of torturing women and tricking them into believing that it made them look good and is a necessity for one to be considered a REAL WOMAN? (In addition to other things such as carrying tissue and mirror with you where ever you go, or incredible skills in applying make-up, etc) Its one of those things that a girl has to be able to do before she graduates and can become a woman/lady, much similar to men learning how to shave. But this in no way signifies that one is a real man who thinks and act like one. But we can get into that in another blog...NOW we are TALKING about HEELS......just one letter to HELL!!

Stay tuned for the next update!!!! <3 p="p">

Sense of accomplishment

Dearest Yamapi,

I had a great day today at the Daycare!!!!!  Eduoard (one of the adorable toddlers) gave me a big hug before going back home. I feel so blessed. =) And the other day Jake, called my name. I was surprised that he actually remembered my name!!! These kids must be really smart, just like their parents who work at McGill.

I was asked to help take care of the Babies!! Where I met Isabelle and Luke. They are both so adorable!!!! I had the opportunity to hold Luke as we went outside with the other kids at the play ground. He seems to love to stare at you with his big blue eyes and long eyelashes when you talk to him. And he kept chewing on the sprout of his water bottle.

I have volunteered to help out at McGill Daycare over the summer. And I've gotten to known the kids there and love them too. When I was asked if I wanted to stay and help them out during Fall/Winter, I might just agree!!! They are so cute! Can't possibly resist them.

I found out that a kid I took care of last year has a younger brother now that looks exactly like him!!! The brother has lighter blond hair.
