real clogged.
Why should everyone be very obnoxious today?
I can't stand the customers who are coming here. I can't stand the way they talk to me, I can't stand the way they laugh, I can't stand the way they accuse me as a chinese woman, I can't stand the way they don't know anything about computer and internet but still somehow play Mr. I-actually-know-how-it-goes-but-now-I-am-the-king-and-you-have-got-to-do-this-child's-play or This-should-be-a-piece-of-cake-your-goddamn-computer-must-be-broken towards me.
I despise the way they come in in large numbers and go in and out the telephone booths as if the shop belong to their grandfather. I despise the way they just go to the exit without paying first and then act as if they were just strucked by lightning on the head and had amnesia after I call them to get their asses back here and pay for the god forsaken bills.
And in the end, I hate myself for taking such a long time finishing this hate-list, so now I can't remember anymore why I am so very much clogged right now!

Inulitas
Clogged. 1st report.
I have just read some articles about the dangdut diva Indonesia: Inul. She has gained national popularity in just months of time. And not just that...the international world is also turning its head towards her. With her 'grinding' dance she swept other competitors in this area of business (well at least in indonesia). It's amazing really, what women can achieve with her body!
Just several days a go I read about the famous exotic dancer from the second world war, Mata Hari. She is just so famous and everyone knows who she was, even if they aren't very acquainted with her story. She might be the very first international erotic dancer in the whole world. No body at that time dared to expose their body in front of a band of men. And also, her one and only dance made her way through out european military world. Nowadays striptease dance is nothing new anymore. One can get a fortune if she knows how to manage her gigs and make a good advertisement for herself.
All of these brings me to the thought of feminism and gender problems. Sometimes I find it really sad that women have to reveal ourselves like that to nail men's interest and get them to grope right into their pockets. It is as if women are nothing more than just entertaining objects to satisfy men's lust. Men make us do things we perhaps would never ever think of doing if they weren't so powerfull and moneyfull.
These thoughts occupied my mind for quite some time. But then I tried to bend the idea, and imagine what it would be like, if the situation were the other way around. What if when women had all the access to power and money. (Well let's face it.., we women are not (yet!) that far in comparison with men) What if men were living in a women's world..Would there also be Inul and Mata Hari in the form of men? I can imagine seeing myself in a crowd of women, my eyes feasting with the sight of handsome men stripteasing....So I guess it is not an impossible thing to happen. Then there would perhaps be men, which were considering these things in the area of masculism and as one of the gender problems.
