Semantics**
Call a woman a kitten, but never a cat;
You can call her a mouse, cannot call her a rat;
Call a woman a chicken, but never a hen;
Or you surely will not be her caller again.
You can call her a duck, cannot call her a goose;
You can call her a deer, but never a moose;
You can call her a lamb, but never a sheep;
Economic she likes, but you can’t call her cheap.
You can say she’s a vision, can’t say she’s a sight;
And no woman is skinny, she’s slender and slight;
If she should burn you up, say she sets you afire;
And you’ll always be welcome, you tricky old liar.
(**A poem entitled “semantics” by John E. Donovan, in the Saturday Evening Post,July 13, 1946 as cited in Mccrimmon’s)

A new girl on the block!
Nge-Blog.... As a new girl on the block!
Sebenernya udah lama banget saya belajar tuk punya blog... dari dulu semenjak masih di bangku kuliah... Terlalu semangat malah, sampe-sampe saya punya banyak blog di dunia maya, tapi cuman numpang punya nama... *sigh*
Kini, setelah tak lagi jadi mahasiswi dan gara-gara didorong banyak orang, maka menulislah saya disini...
So, i welcome you.. ops.. welcoming myself as the new girl on the blog! :D
