A Friend In Need..?

"We need to rescue Apek..!!" was JB's message to me typed on Skype last thursday.

"Why so..?" I typed back.

"Have you seen chewette's blog?" he pushed.

"No.."

JB then cut and paste a blog address of the afore referred to person.

I was busy at the time and upset to boot; but I was curious enough to click on the link and go where my eyes should not venture.

The blog located on space.live.com was by far more interesting then yours truly's; with lots of pictures of the owner and her current beau i.e. Apek. And from what little I read, a life like day time soap.

Yours truly on the other hand is a closet voyeur; sometimes revealing but most time guarding her personal life jealously. The only thing yours truly can and will dish out in generous portions are her opinion. By gosh...you can have a basketful of opinion and there will be more to come!!! Lend me thy ears and thy will not get it back!

Chewette on the other hand pours her heart out on her blog and some pretty damaging pictures too. She 'speaks' to her psychotic Ex on the pages just as easily as she 'converses' with her girlfriends.

In other words she bares all for the world to see.

Now JB is a pal of ours besides being quite the wizard in IT related stuff also has all the time in the world to troll the cyber underworld; and this he does with relish.

For some reason unknown to yours truly, he had found the need to track Chewette.

What he read had set his internal male alarm bell running havoc, thus the rally for all of Apek's friends (known to JB, and that reads : yours truly) to save him.

"Aren't you reading too finely between the line and seeing something thats not there" I typed and puctuated with an irritated emoticon.

"Hallo.... look at what she wrote" JB cut and pasted the offending line for my benefit or incase just reading off the page didnt seem threatening enough.

The same is appended herewith:
By the way, he is no datuk, tan sri, tengku. But he is my prince and that's all that matters

"I can read-lah..." I typed back.

After a few more banters, I got back to being pissed about something else and JB was summoned away from his computer to earn his keep.

That night I mentioned the exchange with JB to my beloved.

Before I even finished explaining what datuk, tan sri and tengku translated to in the malay world, my beloved too jumped at that supposed threat.

Strangely enough, my beloved echoed the exact same sentiments as JB had earlier in the day.

"WHAT the..."I thought.

Two men, two very different men...echoeing the same thoughts about this girl.

"Surely shes just being young.." I defended when my beloved had finished explaining why the line is threatening to ALL man kind.

Apparently, according to my beloved, when a woman thinks in that sort of way, subconsciously she wants to live the high life vicariously through her man. And if this man dont live up to that expectation, he will have trouble coming.

I am so glad to note that I do not fall into this 'despicable' category as my man is retired. Period. There is no more up. I get what I see, vice versa. And I am happy to report that I am happy with what I get.

As JB said "you be so lucky you dont need the little blue pill to help you along..."

Of course ...JB can be an idiot that way.

The Hungry Traveller wonders if any more men around the world echos the opinion that women wants to live the high life vicariously through their men...Tell me what you think. And women, do you agree with the men?
