That Challenged Look in their Eyes

.

Once, or twice, when I was traveling by myself, curious individuals asked me how I can manage to go traveling despite that I come from a country whose most people only find themselves abroad as workers and not as "pleasure and leisure travelers."


Belgian: Did you rob a bank in your country before you came here?


Me: (surprised and confused) What do you mean?


Belgian: How are you financing your travel?


Me: Oh, it is simpler than you think. I robbed a man, not a bank.


Belgian: (smiling), poor man, he is.


Me: So now you know. I'm dangerous.



The other guys sitting around the table got amused and interested upon hearing our conversation.



French: How dangerous are you?


Me: I'm hot.... so don't come near me.


American: whew! (and whistling).


French: What else?


Me: I bite, so don't tickle me.


French: Uh-huh? (smiling)


Me: I ensnare, so don't touch me.



By this time, I sensed the excitement of the 3 or 4 men I barely knew (at least at that time) who were sharing the social room table of the hostel I was staying in. They were smiling and nodding with curious and sparkling eyes. I stood up to leave and told them, "Caution, I'm hot, I bite, and I ensnare. Keep away from me, boys."


From that time on, they regarded me with a mix of curiosity, fear, respect, and that challenged look in their eyes.

Bitchicism Gone!

.

My bitchy-love blog is gone (vitchie-bitchicism.blogspot.com).
and given no second chance.

Apparently, I have unknowingly violated a thing in Gmail's terms and conditions and in half a moment, every internet function associated with the email address I use for that blog, was gone!

I was sort of stunned when the screen stared back at me with the severe words: "Your are Banned!"


So, gone forever, that blog.


Well, not unless i do either of the two things Gmail is requiring me to do in order to recover my email address, my blog (and all the good things I used to enjoy with that email ad.) would be restored - but within the grace period of 29 days.


I found it too much trouble complying to Gmail's punctilious request, so here I am creating a new blog of expression instead.


Let what has been gone be gone... for they say there are no accidents.

...........

While I was thinking what to name this new blog, I was coincidentally listening to Tina Arena's song: WOMAN. I heard the words: "when you're a woman," and I was like, "yeah that's it!" 

So that's how this blog easily got it's name. :-)
