Really?

Saw this series of ads on Ads of the World by JWT, Gurgaon, India:

I saw that ad above first. So I thought, ok... riots are indeed stupid violent acts. Fine...

Then I saw this:

Source: Ads of the World - Chariot India: Anti Abortion

Correct me if I am wrong, but... Are they saying Anti-Abortion protests are stupid?

Then I saw the rest of the ads in this series:

Source: Ads of the World - Chariot India: Gun Ladies

Why is it stupid for a group of women to learn shooting? Let's put aside other controversies regarding guns, why is this ad so sexist?

Then, when I saw this, I knew the meaning is quite straightforward for the ads in this series. No underlying meaning whatsoever:

Really?

If they are trying to create a controversy with this series of ads in order to raise their profile, then I guess they may achieve that eventually. But is that the right way to go about doing that?

I know some people/organisations think that any news that can raise their profile is ok, even bad ones. However, I think when people get disgusted with you, bad feelings tend to be associated with your name afterward. So no. Bad news are not good news no matter.

Terrible advertising idea. Period.

A repost from Facebook...

I don't understand why some people would go to the extent of threatening her... however each person lives his/her life, it's his/her choice when it doesn't harm anyone at all, right?

We're all born differently... let's just put aside religious views and see it at face value. If she's just born this way, why can't she choose to be this way instead of being unhappy her whole life?

Let's not go into the argument of kids not being able to make such decisions at that young age.

What's most important is that they are happy, comfortable with who they are and are loved for who they are. We're not them, we will never understand how it feels like to feel the way they feel.

That's all for this topic.

Lazybug

It's been some time since I last wrote on this blog.

Since the new year I've been rather overwhelmed by.... lethargy.

Then came the Chinese New Year holidays and pigging out sessions. It made me lazier and less motivated to exercise or do anything productive in general.

Job-wise, still the same old. Hoping for more. Soon.

Every time I watch a good video or read about something interesting, I'd get this sudden urge to blog about it. Then laziness would get to me. It's that bad.

Well, I've been re-motivated to start again. By the hubby. :)

He's been writing so often. It kinda reminded me of how it used to be for me when I was blogging on a daily basis.

Even though I am still writing mundane stuff like this now, well, who cares? It's therapeutic.

I may start to write on more diverse topics. Perhaps even about my skincare routine and whatsnot. Not like I have readers, but my blogs have always been about archiving my life for my future self. Not for an audience... I guess?

It's like me talking to myself but with a small chance of a stranger walking by. Hah...

Ok, this... is a new beginning once again! Let's go!

Atrocities happening in certain countries

I think it's all about the education and societal values in a country.

If men are brought up to know rape is wrong and to respect women, those atrocities will almost not happen at all.

It's not abt modernisation or the clothes women are wearing. It's the education and moral values, or the lack of, of the men that cause or "prevent" rape. Period.

It's Christmas!

Lesson to be learnt for this Christmas... Don't be a glutton and over-eat!

I am so full I just want to puke everything out of my stomach. Ugh! :(

Staying positive

I had a good week in terms of my ability to stay positive.

Then things took a nosedive on Saturday.

Slept late and woke up early. Did some washing (of clothes)... Went out shopping and started to get really grumpy because of the tiredness and hunger ('cause I ate early)... And my PMS is most probably here by now. Or it's starting at least.

Then my mood got better after I got the dress and had some good food and chocolate.

Come Sunday... I had to wake up early again so I can take my clothes out to sun as it was rainy on Saturday. This is so that we can change our bed sheet and covers as well. Only when my clothes dry... will I have the space to wash the sheets and hang them...

So while waiting for my clothes to sun, and for him to come home... I decided to change the sheets myself.

Tough job. Mattress was so heavy... my back started to feel weird. Finished it nonetheless and washed it.

Then after he came back with lunch and I ate it... It was just a tiring day of chores and more chores.

Cleaned the cupboard space for our sheets, washed my dresses... Took the sheets out to dry...

This took a toll on me not just physically but mentally as well.

Adding on to it is my PMS.

Negativity showed its horns. Past two day... I'd get annoyed very easily.

Why did I write this? To spill it all out and concentrate on positivity.

Once this is out, I forget those unhappy feelings and remain posivity

P.S.: Wrote this in a half-asleep state (especially the last few sentences). LOL.  Decided not to edit the grammar mistakes and just post it as it is. :)

欲言又止...

These few days I've been wanting to write about some stuff. Political stuff to be exact.

However, I don't want to get worked up over it. I know once I start writing, I'll just end up feeling so disgusted, disappointed and sad.

So it's just drafts, and thoughts running through my head.

I think I will leave it as that... for now.
