Girl power!! =D

yesterday i was talking to my bf.. he told me i have changed quite a bit.. i'm soooo naggy! ahahaha.. and i agreed with him.. i see myself nagging at the guys all the time.. remember to double bag the trash bag, remember to throw the trash, dun cook food that dropped on the floor, please wash the vege before you cook them, dun pee on the toilet seat cover, house cleaning!! nag nag nag nag.. ahaha..

it was a very good talking session actually, cos i basically vented my frustrations on him.. oops! >.< it's like i feel myself often stuck in this situation: do all the chores myself or ask my housemates to contribute.. but i feel that i keep having to constantly remind them to do this and that.. for example, they usually don't bring down the trash to clear when they are going off for work.. or simply not clearing the trash at all whenever.. if i don't nag at them to clear, the trash can sit in the kitchen for a couple of days until the trash stinks like crazy.. my housemates are nice people, if i ask them they are usually more than happy to help.. but the prob is.. that's it! a one time event.. it's not really their fault actually, it's just that they dun register that "activity" as a routine duty.. so in order to have the trash thrown again, i'd need to ask them to help out again.. and... tah dah! NAGGING!! ROFL

at first i thought that it was because i was a girl, so i wan things to be neat. but then my bf asked me: "why need to make things so neat? and i'm giving you 5mins to convince me to be neat" i was a little stunned for a sec, and i didn't know how to convince him, but something just came out.. i said: "do you want to live in a home or do you want to stay in a dumpster?" frankly speaking, i didn't really register what i said until a while later.. and i thought to myself: "exactly!!"

in my opinion, the guys at home are great people.. the only thing is that they are GUYS.. men are naturally more tolerant of messiness.. or rather, guys are usually too lazy to keep things neat.. i do believe that guys do appreciate neatness, but it's just that given the option of spending time cleaning up (a chore) for the sake of neatness and doing other stuff of their own (eg. entertainment), they would trade off neatness to have more time for other stuffs.. cleaning up is never one of guy's priorities basically..

i asked my bf what would have happened in a house filled with just guys, his opinion was that in a guy house, it would most probably be minimalistic.. and i figured that in that kind of house, nothing will be done until things become unbearable ahaha.. dishes will not be washed until they need to use it, trash will not be thrown until the house start stinking with rotting food, floor will not be cleaned until everyone starts sneezing and getting allergies.. (disclaimer: i'm talking about most men, not all)

i feel that girls play an important role in making a house a home.. girls like to make simple little changes that just makes a place more.. nice to live in hehe~ (disclaimer: most, not all girls =p)
