“I’m a millionaire. So who wants to marry my money me?”

I read with amusement in today’s papers about a South Korean woman who is a millionaire (worth some US$18 million or so) who’s looking for a husband. She used the service of a matchmaking agency in her plight to look for a man to marry her. According to the agency, she is too busy with her business to find herself a husband.

So far, some 400 South Korean men have applied to marry her. And according to the agency who filters out the applications, these men range from the average man to the professionals like lawyers and doctors. Only 8 will be shortlisted from the hundreds of hopeful applicants and the bride-to-be will meet these men over the next few months to determine who she will marry.

I sometimes wonder if she will find what she is truly seeking. I’m sure what she wants is a man who loves her as her lifetime companion. But will any of the man really love her for her after that few short months of “courtship”? I’m sure they were attracted by the money in the first place to put in an application to marry the millionaire. Will love prevail in the end?

For her sake, I hope it does. What do you think? Are you optimistic that she will find love?

What got me wide-eyed in today’s papers is again the Dear Thelma section. I previously found a shocking story from there about a peeping tom’s confession. Today, it is the confession of a man who thinks that he’s a woman trapped in a man’s body. The shocking thing isn’t about him feeling more inclined as a woman, but his wife’s acceptance and support of his situation.

You see, he confessed what he feels about his sexuality to his wife and another woman friend and both are said to be very supportive of him, and even encouraged that he cross dresses in public to see how comfortable he feels being a woman. Apparently, he feels comfortable enough to think about doing a sex change operation and becoming a woman.

It makes me wonder how the wife of this man is such a strong woman to be alright with it all, and to be so supportive. What will happen to the marriage if he does end up getting a sex change? Will he still be with the woman he married or will he now want to be a she and be with a man?

Perhaps his wife loves him so much that she’s willing to let him go, for him to be happy. What a woman she is! Is this what we call unconditional love? Seems to me like it is.

A year after the leak of Gillian Chung’s scandalous sex photos with Edison Chen, the Hong Kong star appeared in a recent interview to reveal what her life has been like in the last one year. Filled with shame, Gillian said for a long time, she couldn’t bring herself to face others, to have them look at her face, not to mention to look them directly in their eyes.

But a year after that photo leak, Gillian Chung, still filled with remorse and sadness, is working hard to regain her dignity as a person. She said in the interview that she feels so much shame being totally robbed off her personal privacy, saying that she’s bared everything for everyone to see.

It isn’t easy for someone so highly successful and in the limelight to now stoop so low, starting all over again in a career where she had it all. Just a simple act of saying yes to the camera had destroyed her life. Again, I would once again like to repeat that no smart women should ever say yes to being recorded in such private acts.

Is the public forgiving enough to give her the moral support and encouragement to get back on her feet and face the world with the dignity she once had? I feel that we should move on and let her do the same. Give her the space and dignity that she needs and let her rebuild her life.

I do wonder if she will really make a successful comeback in the Hong Kong showbiz or anywhere else for that matter. But if she does, I’m sure she will be a much stronger person not to mention a whole lot wiser as a woman too. Here’s wishing Gillian all the best and stay strong, girl!

In today’s world, many women have shown their capabilities in the workforce. Many reputable companies employ women as part of their top and middle management team and these women have definitely earned these positions through their hard work to prove themselves. Now that women are amongst the equals with their male counterparts, I find that many men in the management team feel a certain level of resentment towards these women.

This is not as assumption. I’ve seen with my own eyes the many incidences where men back stab their women counterparts although the ladies have done nothing wrong apart from performing at their jobs and being looked up to by others. I take these negative actions by the men as jealousy and envy as women start to dominate the corporate world.

What’s more disturbing than these men at work are the men in the private lives of such women may also tend to feel some resentment for their corporate success. I think there’s some feeling of inferiority complex when their girlfriensd or wives are high ranked executives who make more money than many men, themselves included.

How does a woman in this situation continue to lead a happy life with a man who feels inferior next to her? Anyone has some great insights to share on what to do to help the relationship? This is more pressing than to deal with the pressure of those other men at the same work place, although it would be nice too to have that part of the situation sorted out. But I guess we can’t solve every problem that exists, especially if it’s not our own problem but someone else’s personal issues.

Many of us who are not in the shoes of a rape victim don’t tend to give much thoughts and consideration to a woman who has been a rape victim. Yes, we may feel for the woman at the time we hear about her being a victim and her ordeal of being sexually assaulted. But do we really think about the emotional scar and how her life may change because she is a rape victim?

Imagine the mental anguish that lives with her for having been through such a terrible violation. Imagine her facing her family and friends with shame, although she really should not bring this onto herself. Imagine how insecure she may feel with her boyfriend or husband who knows about her ordeal. It takes so much strength, courage and energy to just face up to herself to accept the fact that she has been raped, not to mention the stress of facing people around her.

Do you also wonder how a boyfriend or a husband of a rape victim feels about it all? Surely they are not proud of the fact that his girlfriend or wife was raped, and I’m sure they do not talk about it with others. Probably not even with his victimised girlfriend or wife, because it probably isn’t right to voice out his pain and frustrations about her being raped. Or should he? Does he feel or think any less of her? How does a man cope with his partner’s rape?

A rape victim needs a lot of support from her loved ones. There are also helpful rape support groups or women support groups as well as other resources that she can tap on to help her heal. She must know that the rape was never her fault no matter what others say and think. She must also learn how to live as a rape survivor and not a rape victim. Finally, I would imagine that a rape victim needs a lot of patience from family and friends around her, for her to regain her self confidence and self worth, as well as to get back on her feet to live life courageously and with dignity.
