sugar sugar

my most recent (serious) resolution is not to badmouth/gossip/rant bout people behind their backs. cos more than anyone else, i've learnt my lesson the hard way. even if they seemed like normal, mindless, harmless conversations. not when i got my ass kicked and face scratched by talons and all.

interestingly, God has a divine way of putting across the message to me repeatedly and very clearly. first, it was the revelation during church camp. i saw how i was being hypocritical and unconstructive when i did the most girly thing to do - sharing a piece of juicy news bout someone else with my girlfrens. u knoe, girl bonding and stuff.

then i watched Mean Girls, which was the ultimate wakeup call. cos when i realise i could identify with some of the skank bitches in the show, that wasn't the most delightful feeling, believe me.

lastly, i actually watched the O.C tonight (which i wouldn't have done normally cos i think it's just another pretty show with a pretty cast). mainly cos there was the slightest notion of homosexuality in it. but it turned out that the real message was how not to divulge someone else's secret and betray their trust. cos when u let the cat outta the bag, u can be pretty damn sure that the cat's gonna run all over the place.

so the point is, the problem of the gossip victim ain't solved when we bring it out into light and 'discuss' bout it. no matter how therapeutic it feels. for us at least. cos most of the time, our real intention is to brag bout how much we knoe bout other pple's monkey business. which really isn't our business at all. or we just wanna be part of the crowd. to fit in. especially in Girls' World, it's hard to stay in when u've got nothing to share. then again, such friendships aren't really worth keepin anymore, innit.

so go on. spread the word. burn the gossip columns. achieve world peace.
