But not if it’s theirs.

I saw a documentary one night (Discovery Channel) about men with big breasts, really caught my attention and made me think. Gynecomastia, a condition in which the male’s breast tissue enlarges. Gynecomastia literally means “woman breast.” This increase in tissue usually occurs at times when the male is having hormonal changes, such as during infancy, adolescence, and old age.

Their breasts are not muscular at all but ‘meaty’ just like women’s and some develop big cup sizes too.

I never realized until that moment how many men suffer from having large breasts. Due to ignorance, shame, depression, some even commit suicide not knowing that they do not lack hope. But there are also those who live with it and learned to accept it, in fact the documentary showed a 23 yeard old guy with humongous breasts who’s totally comfortable of his body. That, I really admire.

When men grow older and add weight, their breasts do change in form and size, they become rather bigger and they also sag. I guess women married to these men have no qualms seeing their partner’s changes, right? or am I alone in this? Because if ever my husband ‘develops’ them in the future, I know I would not mind.

But are single women turned on by guys with large breasts? I never was when I was still single. But i didn’t mind (still dont) seeing the muscular ones at the gym or beach, but even so, I prefer them not exaggerately huge.

If you’re a guy and you see a large breasted woman, this is a turn on right? Unfortunately the reverse can not be said.

We women keep our victoria’s secret from you. No sharing.

But since i was tagged by the greek goddess who’s leaving in a couple of days to once again, sail off to some of europe’s magnificent sea ports (mare, ayos talaga work mo!) thought i’d give way before she could utter Auf Wiedersehen, ?????, ??, arrivederci, au revoir, adiós, tot ziens, babush!

I’m supposed to name 7 songs I am currently listening to…therefore, here they are:
1. Eddie Murphy’s : How Could It Be?

I bet most of you didn’t even know that Eddie sings, or sung in the past I should say. I saw some old CDs from the rack and started relistening to them….
listen to Eddie:[audio:http://e-writings.com/thess/audio/How%20Could%20It%20Be.mp3]

2. New Minstrels’ Umagang Kay Ganda

listen to Umagang Kay Ganda:[audio:http://e-writings.com/thess/audio/umagang kay ganda new minstrels.mp3]

Halika na, pumikit limutin ang problema
Hihintayin ang umaga…
Magpahinga, managinip ng ikaliligaya
Darating din, ang umaga

wonderful Filipino Talents of the past, pure music nice texts…this was sent to me by chef stel of US of A

3. Maureen McGovern’s We Could Have It All

We could tumble like a weed in the wind,
or we could scatter like the leaves in a storm,
or we could stand like an oak, and laugh at the joke
that the love we had is gone…

I have searched for this song for some time until few days back, la vida loca muy guapita sent me not just one but few numbers of Maureen McGovern, priceless!

4. Sandi Patty’s Upon This Rock a day never goes by without me listening and singing along with this one…food for the soul (pag sinasabayan ko ng kanta, sabay din ng takip ng tenga mister ko he he)
listen to Sandi [audio:http://e-writings.com/thess/audio/upon%20this%20rock.mp3]

Upon this Rock, I’ll build my kingdom
And on this Rock, forever and ever It shall stand
Upon this Rock of revelation
I’ll build a strong and mighty nation,
And It shall stand the scorns of time,
Upon This Rock….

5. The Promise (I forgot the artist) it’s an 80’s song which my dad-in-law liked so much he’s asked for a copy, ha ha! semi retro 81 year old pop, yeah!

listen to The Promise [audio:http://e-writings.com/thess/audio/01 The Promise.mp3]

I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right word to say
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I’ll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will…

6. PINK’s Stupid Girls, I actually prefer watching the video while listening to it…I really really like the sarcasm of this number

break it down!

7. a thai number with a video, ang baduy so I wont discuss it further, it’s just that the singer is good looking and nice to look at

1.Girlie 2. Atinna 3. Jing 4. Chef Stella 5. Marie 6. Ymir and 7. Queenz

I was standing at the cashier’s paying for my stuff when i noticed this black guy simply slid a bottle in his bag then calmly walked outside the store without paying for it. he saw me looking at him, nobody else’s noticed him…ikaw, ano gagawin mo?

——

another time, different store. I was minding my own business when i felt this pair of eyes zooming in on me, that was the security guard….i was taking too long reading the labels which was all in dutch and probably guard read my frustrations as ’simply buying time to steal’ that he didn’t noticed the two teeners barely 3 feet away from me stealing candy bars, the two were even smiling at me and when they finally filled their pockets, they also simply walked past the guard…ikaw, ano gagawin mo?

nakita ko ang dati naming kapitbahay na mag asawa sa city isang araw. yung lalaki halos ayaw ako tingnan habang ang kanyang asawa ay panay kaway at ngiti habang padaan sa tabi ng kanilang sasakyan ang aming sasakyan. dati-rati, ang asawang lalaki ay laging may handang ngiti at pagbati pag nagkikita kami, ngayon ay wala na.

isang araw, summer ng 2004 magkasabay ng lumabas ang sasakyan namin at si lalaki sakay naman sa kanyang sasakyan. sabado iyun. normal na araw para sa aming mag asawa na pumunta sa kabilang city para mag relax, at normal na araw ni kapitbahay para mag tennis, naka tennis get-up sya, dala ang bag at raketa. ang asawa ay naiwan sa bahay kasama ng 2 anak na paslit.

pagdating naming mag asawa sa kabilang city, normal na magkakape kami sa coffee shop na iyun, pero naudlot ang punta namin sa shop dahil sa nakita namin. kasi naman ay nakaupo sa terasa (terrace) ng coffee shop si kapitbahay na lalake, naninigarilyo at tiyak ko na hindi si asawa nya ang kasama niya. kulot ito, matangkad at slim. si asawa nya maigisi at straight ang buhok, at hindi kagandahan. sabi ng asawa ko: ’sa iba na tayo mag kape’. hindi ko maintindihan ang reaction naming mag asawa dahil parang kami ay nahihiyang makita kami ni kapitbahay na lalake. eh dahil sa paborito ko talaga ang kapihan na iyun lalo na’t isang beses sa isang linggo lang kami nagpupunta duon, pinilit ko asawa ko na mag iingat na lang kami para hindi kami makita ni kapitbahay (pero syempre, nanduon yung intensyon ko na makita nga sana nya kami!) so maingat ang approach namin para nga hindi kami makita. pero anak ng kuting! mabilis nawala ang mga ito pag lingon namin ulit. pagkatapos ng araw na iyun ay hindi na namin pinag usapan pa na mag asawa ang nakita namin.

lumipas ang summer hanggang sa magpapalit ang taon, halos mag-a-alas 12:00 2005 ng gabing iyun, lumabas kaming mag asawa para manood ng fireworks kung saan mga kapitbahay ay nagdidiwang. biglang lumapit si kapitbahay na lalaki sa amin, bumati ng maligayang bagong taon at nagtanong kung pwede ba daw sya’ng lumipat sa amin pagkatapos ng putukan, syempre OO sagot namin. dumating sya, chika-chika. biglang nagbukas sya ng topic na may mga tao raw na nagdududa na sya at ang kanyang secretary ay may affair. kung paano nya ipinilit ipasok ang topic na iyun ay nakalimutan ko na, dahil pinag uusapan namin ay ang mga trabaho nila ng mister ko. imbes na sa nakalimutan na naming mag asawa ang nangyari ng summer na iyun, bakit kailangan pa nya ungkatin? bakit kailangan ipagtanggol nya ang sarili nya gayong walang umaakusa naman sa kanya?

at buong tamis na ngite sinabi sa akin ni kapitbahay: “dalawin mo naman si misis ko paminsan-minsan magkape kayo or tea, lagi din naman sya sa bahay, it’ll do you both good”  ni-reverse psyche pa ako ng putris na ito, sa isip-isip ko! alam nya kasi na tahimik lang ako sa bahay at hindi ko ugali mangapitbahay although in the past, na-invite ko na si misis nya para magkape at kwentuhan dito sa aming bahay. (sinagot ko sya, tingnan mo sa ibaba)
natapos ang gabing yun na puzzle pa rin sa aming mag asawa ang topic na ipinasok nya. at ang mga sumunod na araw ay tipong iniisnab ako ng kanyang may bahay, pag nakakasalubong ako ay umiiwas ito. nalungkot ako kasi wala syang alam….
2 buwan ang nakaraan, bigla naming nakita ang board sa harap ng bahay nya na ito ay TE KOOP (for sale) at ito naman ay mabilis naipagbili.

nalungkot ulit ako ng makita ko silang mag asawa.

*****

ang sagot ko: “hayaan mo na lang ako dito sa loob ng bahay ko kasi iniiwasan ko na may masaktan ako dahil hindi ako takot magsabi ng katotohanan” at habang sinasabi ko ito ay binigyan ko sya ng tingin na alam ko nanuot sa kailaliman ng kanyang buto.

IKAW, ano gagawin mo?
