this one got some dude confused.

i am not your normal femme.
and this i say without apologies.
i am damn special in ways more than one.
and only special people outside my family circle know and appreciate my unique existence.

just today, at mid-morning, i found an officemate's remark rather amusing.

"Barbs, nagtataka na ako sa'yo ha. boxing, tapos ngayon gusto mo namang mag-motor," he noted as we were crossing the short distance between the bank and our office complex, dodging cars and smokes at the same time.

it came after i nonchalantly blurted that i could spend the 174K tucked inside my Vietnamese bag in a day. i'd buy a motorcyle. it doesn't matter that i'm not initiated in the basics and dynamics of driving one, but i'm buying one. hehehehe

i smiled.
slightly amused at the thought that i got this dude confused with my sexuality.
hahahaha

as if my gender is something that he should be adding to his list of workload.
nyahahaha

lesbian i am not. and i have nothing against homosexuals.

am perfectly in touch with my feminine side and i am comfortable with the thought and concept that i enjoy testosterone-driven sports-slash-hobbies more than an average Juana could possibly take.

i like wearing stillettos (i've got five three-inched heels and counting!) and skirts, inasmuch as i'm comfortable with sneakers and crosstrainers.
i like skirts, blouses and baby-tees, inasmuch as i love wearing cargos, shorts and sandos.
i like dangling earrings - the longer the better!
and i'm starting to like sweeping a nice blush on my cheeks!
but i also like breaking a sweat by boxing - something i'm really aching to go back, cycling - my current passion, and running (soccer game!).

so, i think it's bordering on shallowness to pin on someone's activities as a gender barometer.

did i had u confused as well? >wink!<
