Alcohol content: High
 I have to admit to the fact that I am a bit of an alkie. So much so, my liver now is like a sponge of alcohol. If you squeeze it, a bottle would fall out. And if you rub it, a genie would come out and grant you 3 types of alcohol. Yes, I have a genie alkie in me in that when I crave a drink, it would tell me the closest bar within a 3 block radius. Friends points out my problem with alcohol and I defend myself most often during lunch over wine or in the morning with a beer in my hand. Futile, I know, but nobody wants to admit to a weakness.

The art of being equally offensive
 March 8th was International Women’s Day and since we’re celebrating over here at Venus, I thought I’d jump in on the revelry and write this week’s column on how words promote gender equality - or rather my version of the issue.

A VenusBuzz Project
 VenusBuzz is kicking off International Women’s Day for the month of March with an exciting project! We believe in educating and passing down valuable knowledge to others through pre-loved books. We have a pool of local celebrities and prominent women figures who will contribute a book to this project with a personalized message, signed, sealed and delivered to our chosen winners. The whole concept is to pass on books that have made an impact in their lives, in hopes that it will inspire other women.

The Predicament
 It has dawned on me that many of my readers, friends and acquaintances are going through some form of hardship in the relationship department.
“3 weeks ago?! That’s so fresh. How did you manage to come out of it so fast??”

Women’s role in the workplace, still a conundrum
 I’ve been climbing up the career ladder for the last 8 years, and although I won’t exactly call myself a competitive individual, I’m proud to say that I’ve worked hard to establish myself. I’ve learnt, however, that while we may live in a society where it’s common for women to have jobs, and contribute to the economy and family finances, people’s views on women in the work place can still be quite warped.

What we really mean is…
 I was clearing out my e-mail inbox this morning when I found an old e-mail a friend sent me. I thought, before I deleted it for good, I had better share the wisdom it contained here on Venus. As you and I know, women enjoy talking; we do it to express ourselves, to get our thoughts across, to share, but this doesn’t mean the opposite sex necessarily understands what we’re saying to them. The content of my friend’s e-mail sheds light on our favourite words and their hidden meaning:

What would we girls do without our girlfriends?
 A good girlfriend will patiently listen to you and hold your hand through bad breakups and bad acne. A good girlfriend would readily throw an evil glare at a sales woman who dares to suggest that you try on a bigger pair of pants because “you have big hips, lah!”

When no means NO
 I think we all understand that when someone forces himself sexually on you, it’s rape. But sometimes, the lines get blurred. What if he’s someone you trust? What if he’s your boyfriend or even your husband? What if that someone is somebody you’ve already had sex with before? Is it still rape?

Protecting yourself against date rape drugs
 When people think of rape, they usually imagine a scary stranger assaulting someone in a dark alley. But, the truth is, it’s not just strangers who rape. In fact, a great number of rapes reported around the world have been perpetrated by someone the victims know. This form of rape is technically known as acquaintance rape, more commonly referred to as ‘date rape’.

Some women have a constant need to be with someone
 This is one question I can't answer for all women. It has been a mind and heart roller coaster ride for me for a long time now since my divorce 4 years ago. Until now, it has not shown any urgency in me to look for someone, a companion. Yet I have been thrown this question in my face so many times that no one really understands why I chose not to search for a partner. I was branded to having high expectation. I think not.

You have to begin with loving yourself before you can love others
 It is OK to be alone!
This is one of those things you say (to yourself, most of the time rather unconvincingly) after a relationship has ended and you're picking yourself up along with all the shattered pieces of your broken heart. But, truth be told, it is really all right.
