something so natural for us to do but so often we forget doing... breathe... when life seems to overpower you... just breathe...

In this modern age when everything seems to be 'accepted' by the society, it comes to me as a shock that people still put genders on things like colors, names, jobs, and so much more... and in my case... flowers.
As a child, I was brought up that blues are for little boys and pinks are for lil girls. Mechanic is a man's job while a caregiver is that of a woman. Maria is for manang and Mario is for kuya. But for flowers, let it be the local sampaguita or the imported holland tulips, these are automatically linked with the female gender.
Why? Some say that since it is the reproductive part of the plant, people associate it with that of a woman. Yeah right! As if some flowers don't have stamen (male reproductive part of the flower- yes, alfred, i know my biology better than a grade 5 student). Or probably, flowers look delicate and weak. So are these people saying that women are delicate and weak like a flower? Na-AH!
Flowers for me?
I answer, "why not?"
