Greetings from the woman who in 7th grade got the nickname of BJ that followed her all thru school .At first thought got he nickname because I always wore blue jeans but came to wonder why since I rarely wore blue jeans . Where did that nickname come from ? Preparations continue for the trip to Kuala Lumpur. Things can get complicated with all kinds of details .When setting these things up I feel like General Eisenhower planning the invasion of France in 1944 .Have to work extra hard since this girl is NOT a detail person .Come close to paranoia , to make sure there are no fuck ups check everything then check some more. Leaves me exhausted and still paranoid The weather in Kuala Lumpur is not much different from here. About 10 degrees C cooler but still with god awful high humidity .The high humidity is always worse then the heat .Good the hotel has air conditioning . On the phone The general manager there who is an ethnic Malay who spoke perfect British accented English wanted to block a suite off for me . Thanked him but said no, a regular room is fine . Am not into opulence /grandiosity and me in a suite and the rest of the team in regular rooms as nice as they are wud probably cause trouble . Some media people from Singapore at the hotel where tour offices are .Here because the President of Singapore is paying an official visit . From what I saw on CNN-Philippines the visit does have lots of opulence /grandiosity with him meeting with President / Head Thief Bongbong Marcos .My friend Esme who is from Singapore said the embassy organized a big crowd of Singapore expats to demonstrate in front of the building to welcome the President .Fat chance I wud ever have done that for a President Trump Esme sees him as a fatcat from the oligarchy that runs Singapore so passed on going down being part of the group w.orship , Different reactions to me being barefoot .............. Coming in the front door of the hotel from the taxi barefoot then putting on my heels had 3 bellman and a Security all shaking their heads & laffing .To them more crazy stuff from one of the whacko kano's ( Americans ) who work in the building ............ Was mostly barefoot all day in the office but ran out to use the bathroom . Seeing me coming out going back to our offices (maybe all of 5') shocked & awed the general manager down in our semi subterranean area ( we're just below ground level with our windows looking out at the sidewalk ) who as noted this week doesn't like me running around the hotel without shoes . Unlike the boss the head building engineer & an ass't general manager were not bothered by the sight of a barefoot woman darting a few feet to her office .Not so after seeing the annoyed look on the general manager's face both of the boys quickly had shocked & awed looks on their faces Later in the day when I met with the general manager about something else made it a point to wear shoes ! ............. Expat Estates. Coming in the front door barefoot and leaving wet footprints across the lobby to elevator however had Komoko San grinning from ear to ear .Am happy to have made his day Tomorrow reflections on people having a prized possession . Can be anything from a wedding ring to car to house. The idea came to me a last week after wearing the leather strap that was my all time favorite prized possession ( substituted for a wedding ring with long time partner Karin ) but now is just a piece of leather . I really have no prized possession anymore .A possible exception is my ass which has brought me great pleasure and helped me enjoy the world Today was a white blouse/ white bikini briefs & a Marine Blue mini / beige heels that were mostly off .Accs'd with a gold chain .Also as always my red rain poncho .Currently a white Tee & the undies, plus pale bone white feet from being washed by the rain

Friday with more rain , heat & humidity . At times worry this weather will turn me into a plant or at least have moss growing on my sides When I get back from Kuala Lumpur plan a post including commentary about recent arrests made in the drug related death of actor Matthew Perry .Not really about the dealers being locked up but how Matthew Perry OD'ing should be a warning to me to finally do something about my alcoholism Today we're writing about my long time favorite possession that is now about as important / meaningful in my life as the weather in Mankato Minnesota . Times change ! For years mine was a double leather strap made by my very creative gf of 11.5 years named Louise but who I called Karin online. We each had one using them as substitutes for wedding rings .I was very proud of mine seeing it as a sign of my relationship and a reward to myself for having such a spectacular gf I wore it with everything from running shorts to skirt suits even my fancy party dress that I'm now looking to find a replacement . Some amusing experiences involving the leather straps. Often seeing Karin get out of bed naked wud spot the strap and feel very much connected & in love with her . In a foursome with 2 guys in Montreal one noticed our leather straps and asked if they were were a sign of being in a cult ? Another time seeing our straps led amiga's Carla & Judy to decide to come up with their own version as a sign of their togetherness . They went even further eventually getting married with genuine gold rings . Because her strict Catholic parents ( especially the mom who was a fanatic fanatic Catholic along with perfectionist & neat freak ) who never completely accepted Karin being a lesbian and were even less thrilled with her involved with a hillbilly ( moi ) she made it a point never to wear the strap around them at times when she knew I was wearing mine . Came close to a full blown panic attack once when I thought mine was lost Luckily it turned up , phew! Mostly wore them on the wrist but it could be adjusted to wear around the ankle .Wud sometimes get compliments for my gold ankle bracelet which were much appreciated but loved /enjoyed the leather strap the most Kept wearing it when Karin & I were imploding . At that point it was a sign of hope, stubborn hope that things wud work out . A telling sign things were ending was at the couples counseling session that I hoped & prayed wud keep us together . I was wearing my leather strap but Karin was without hers. Noticing that wanted to ask her why she wasn't wearing her strap but didn't, before I could say anything it came to me like the blast of an atomic bomb her not wearing her strap was the undeniable sign relationship was over Wonder what Karin ever did with her strap ? My guess is it long ago ( circa 2016 ) it went out with the garbage. After the break up I could cry looking at the strap since it had been a sign off something so good & positive in my life but was now dead. Other times wud wear it as a symbol of hope (really fantasy) we'd somehow , someway get back together . In the end chucked in my dresser not wearing it for years .When I started wearing it again out here nostalgia for Karin as well as bitterness/anger over the break -up she caused. Felt strange wearing it with other lovers too Now it's just a leather strap that can be worn on both the wrist & if adjusted on an ankle . All the emotion connected to it is gone .As such OK , so what , BFD , whatever .Now maybe use it as a toy for Orange The Cat ? Why ? Life goes on , time heals all wounds. Karin & our relationship may have been the center of my life but no more .Other things including satisfaction with being me became more important then lost love. So here I am 44 with no favorite possession Think I can endure this .Actually when I look around at other things in my apartment that have some meaning , attractiveness . Such as my degrees ( still have to get a replacement for my certificate from ultra prestigious one from the state of Kentucky being a Certified Food Technician ) , some photos, coffee table books from places I've been , a tin sign from the 1930's for a low rent ferry line that went all over this nation of 7, 000 plus islands .But the best feeling comes not from things but the feelings of satisfaction , experience from some of those things inside moi Maybe here tomorrow, maybe not .Possibly meeting Mr Man for temporary good bye sex Will be back either late Monday or Tuesday with all sorts of thrilling tales of our adventure in Kuala Lumpur . Today it was a white crewneck top / black thong & black hounds tooth mini / sheer footlets & black heels Accs'd with a silver chain . Now au natural .

Back ! We were supposed to be home at 3:30PM but our flight was delayed several hours so we didn't get home till after 6 PM then it was 90 minutes to get out of the airport /get home Am very tired and suffering from the Curse so will be brief . Back with the usual exploding with in depth , fascinating info ( ? ) tomorrow . All of these visits to hotels in other countries have their own unique quality /features. Some like this having more uniqueness then others. Such as the visit to Jakarta right after I took over as team leader ( although in the corporate world with it's glass ceiling being a woman I was first called the lesser 'Team coordinator ' ) where I missed out on seeing the town except for right outside the hotel and the road to & from the airport .Spending all 6 days in the hotel including in my room looking over every daily reports /talking to the associates . Or in Bangkok where a day's kayak trip left me sun - burned & covered from my neck to ankles with bug bites that drove me crazy with the itchies. Then again on the pleasurable side in Yokohama there was a fun nite with an American soldier , the first black guy I'd been with in years On this trip it was one of the worst periods I've ever had .Horrible Lots of Maxi pads, Midol , chocolate , and at times wishing to die . I deserve a medal & bonus for making it thru .Now more then ever am convinced women should get paid menstrual leave ! A potential life crisis. This morning still bleeding & with terrible cramps hearing our flight was delayed felt like a kick in the head .Why me ? A mix of jealousy & depression also raged as I watched the 3 people from corporate happily get on their on time flight back home and going first class no less In brief .................. Got along with all 7 members of my team Had expected my standing 3 person team plus 3 people from corporate but got the surprise addition of an extra guy sent out to get a hands on look at the hotel's security system. He was a dashing retired Navy guy , gave him the macho nickname of Commander Dash Riprock Had it not been for my monthly visitor may have had some fun with him too and who knows the call girl they sent to his room Some interesting sociology & irony looking over the personal issues hotel that I'll describe later .White people do not have a monopoly on racism & discrimination Met my first Tamil person , a wonderful woman named Sarika who worked in Banquets Although Kuala Lumpur looked to be divided between Malays & Chinese there are lots of South Asians including a huge Tamil community .Did a quick study on Tamils . Clothes for my 7 days on the floor ................. A black coat worn with 3 dresses : My black dress with white dots / Ying & Yang dress with white on one side, black on the other/ a black swirls on white swirl dress. A Navy blue pant suit & white crew neck top . 2 lapel free skirt suits , one black and one Navy Blue each with white crewneck tops. A red coat ,white crewneck top, navy blue skirt . For our day off a pink polo shirt & jeans , today coming home was a white polo shirt & jeans. 2 pair of shoes, consisting of black heels & my good sneakers . Initially 7 pair of undies but had to buy 6 more pair . One garter belt & 4 pair of nude stockings ( washed out in my bathroom sink ) and a pair of nude knee hi's . Several gold chains . BTW the local women whether Chinese ,Malay , South Asian are gold crazy so someone was always looking to se what I had on . At present just fresh undies .

Here I am once again ...... Focusing on making it thru life all the time suffering with the Curse. The fate of being a woman .......... Today the here & now since am too worn out to collect my thoughts , I promise tomorrow the story about Kuala Lumpur . We all got into the office this morning with smiles & cheers from the local staffers .The general manager looks especially happy , is it because his highly opinionated, ostentatious, in your face wife is in the USA ? Rooky is happy to have us back too. Eager to get on the IT work from our trip to Kuala Lumpur . He likes working with the team better then his other job doing the hotel's IT stuff. He's also Rooky the IT guy to us, not the general manager's nephew like he is with most of the local crew. Shit .Got an e-mail from the European embassy that does the volunteer work at the orphanage , a team headed by Mrs Ambassador is heading there Saturday and they wanted to know if I 'd come along . Sad to say replied that I can't, will be busy with the report about our trip and Mr Man is eager to see me. I left out the part about Mr Man . After work got a taxi to the big ROBINSON'S Department Store and among other things bought 9 pair of period undies ( they came in packs of 3) . As far as my period is concerned am experimenting with not only specialty undies but also maxi pads after a life time of tampons .Have suddenly become paranoid about toxic shock syndrome .My Holiest of Holies ( got the term from Karin , has a Catholic sound doesn't it ? ) is prone to infections so decided to be extra careful from now on so it's adios tampons . Expat Estates. Much news and not all good. As always Esme with the help of Priscila another woman from Singapore did a great job of taking care of Orange The Cat Orange herself is being extra friendly , last nite slept with me lying parallel next to me on the bed The flamboyant & selfish Christina an Asian American woman nobody likes now seems to been in a throuple having a female/male couple staying at her apartment . Esme said the new couple are now regulars at the morning coffee & rolls .They too are unfriendly and act like they are above everyone else like C .Lucky us ! Errrrr........... we have a new armed guard in the lobby who isn't at least for now cut out for the job . She's shorter then even me and looks to be in her third trimester. Not safe for her , the baby she's carrying , and us tenants .What to do ? Murder & gun crimes are as common or even more common here as they are in any American ghetto . While I was gone they found the shot up body of a man in the dumpster of the building next door . Less then 2 years ago only a half block from our front door the police found the shot up body of a woman in her 2's in an abandoned stolen car . Trouble in the common room with it's mega tv .Was told there was arguing between the israeli's who have dominated the room & the tv watching news from the Gaza War and some Germans & others who were already in the room watching the news about the terrorist attack in Germany that left 3 people dead. Gary from Indiana and Yvonne from New Caledonia said the israeli's went berserk (included howling about the holocaust and anti semanticism ( or whatever it's called et al ) at the idea anyone else wud watch 'their' tv in 'their' room Today was a beige crewneck top/ black undies and a maxi pad / black slacks/ black slingbacks and a silver chain .Now a pair of my new period undies & a white Tee .

Hey ............ Here tonite , I know later then usual but have been busy suffering thru my visitor & on the phone with corporate back in the USA . Yesterday felt like I was going to die because of my period & extra hideous humidity . At times feeling like the Almighty or Satan were trying to kill me Vomiting & other stomach troubles came later Up late since I had to talk with Jaime at corporate, despite the female sounding name he is a penis person who I had with us in Kuala Lumpur. An HR specialist who was easy to work with . We're struggling to come up with a way to write about some racial issues at the hotel we looked it .Nasty .Could get us in trouble or even fired no matter what we write up .In Melbourne we came across discord among the managers about the British general manager's treatment of them & the whole local Australian staff as lowly colonial subjects .In Kuala Lumpur the same thing with Malaysian politics /society overhead .Here it's a Chinese general manager who some of the Malay staff is the same way if not worse. Said to favor the Chinese managers and look down on Malays . Bad enough but a bigger problem for us is the actual hotel building is owned by a local Chinse property company who in the racially charged Malaysia where majority Malay population is upset with the Chinese privileged position in the economy which the Chinese want to maintain . I know how the suits above me , they don't want to do anything that could cost them the lease so may have to be silent on what we found like tellinga Chinese boss to be fairer /nicer with his Malay employees Coming tomorrow when I'm in better shape will be the promised over view of the trip .Kuala Lumpur is a great city as well as great place to visit . Even though religion all around and the government is authoritarian & corrupt still a wonderful town with lots to see & do .Wud like to get back but as someone on vacation when I can really look around .Including taking the train down to Singapore & back Phone sex tonite with Mr Man ,seeing him this week-end .We're going to an expat party to celebrate the US holiday of Labor Day The holiday was started to honor blue collar workers as I was for much of my life either waitressing or bartending .The unions ( now in rapid decline ) loved it . Also the unofficial but still official start of the Presidential campaign .This one is turning into the nastiest in US history and may get violent thanks to trump TT Perla too .She leaves in 2 weeks for a year at the FBI school in metro DC . There are at least 3 good-bye parties for her but expect more. To date one is with her huge extended family , another with her friends at the national police, and a dyke one .Just assume I won't be invited to the family party since her people wud be shocked when she introduced me as " My 'kano fuck buddy " and at the national police one since I am not a national police. But know for sure I'll be at the dyke gala, in part since I'm helping to organize it Me me me............. Orange The Cat is being extra nice now that I'm back .Tonite as I gulped down some merlot she sat next to me on the couch purring away as I petted her Found another fictional movie character that reminded me of myself except for the constant swearing . For year saw moi in Christina Ricci's 'Maggie' character on the now gone PAN AM tv series .No conformist but very independent who cut corners but who got the job done /underneath was good person .Now I also have 'Rose'* in the UK movie WICKED LITTLE LETTERS . Lots of independence, overt rebelliousness but also good person . Laffed away in one scene where she moons some cops chasing her, I wud have done the same thing Now a life long fan of the Irish actress who played her named Jessie Buckley Yesterday it was a white crewneck top /black period panties / black slacks / black slingbacks .Today it was a beige crewneck top/ purple period panties/ green slacks / black slingbacks. The same golds chain both days .Now in a white Tee & the undies & red running shorts. * The name of Rose is ironic and not one I wud have picked. That's the real life first name of my disgusting self centered mother who has always bad & more then once violent with me . Oh well , will make an exception here.

KUALA LUMPUR................ As promised Kuala Lumpur part 1 of 2 . The airport was straight out of STAR WARS .A Chinese ethnic ass't general manager was there to greet us. Very friendly or at least pretending to be , that comes with working in the hospitality business and in our case getting on the good side of the examiners from corporate .In the van driving in just looking out the window you saw what a big fast paced, and diverse place Kula Lumpur is .Plenty of Chinese , more Malays with the women often in scarves or hijabs since Islam is the main religion . Most in long skirts however we did spot on woman in a hijab but also mini .Good for her Road signs in the Roman alphabet and Chinese as well as in some parts also Hindu .The city had a frantic vibe , lots of traffic, and an aura of affluence .Especially in the high end Bukit Bintang area where our hotel was located. Even spotted a Lamborghini there . A big meeting with the other temporary members of my team that had gotten in only hours before. Included Toby who was the only women along with Mitchell & Jaimie .Plus a big athletic guy with early gray hair I called COMMANDER DASH RIPROCK USN *( US Navy) there to look over the security system .For once someone older then moi on the team ! First a big dinner with the Chinese ethnic general manager who was being extra nice to us. Included were all 16 department heads and a small army of servers. Then a tour of the entire hotel .Very big and very luxurious .Didn't get to sleep till 10PM . Sexism once again .All the guys had women courtesy of the hotel sent to their rooms that first nite while not so with moi ,Toby , Gigi .Neither of them cared but to moi it was a matter of principal !!!! The next day was the first of 6 of days that averaged 12 hours a day for the team for the team & 14 hours for me .Like very inspection everyone delved into their own area while I ran all over & n at the whole management situation .Each nite a meeting in a banquet room . Think having COMMANDER DASH along added a usually absent degree of maturity & focus. Thought to myself "Where can I get that ability " ? At first we had a waitress there to handle the drinks & food. Stopped that after 2 days telling the surprised general manager we need privacy .He didn't like that but went along . Affirmative action Malaysian style .The Chinese used be about half the population of Kuala Lumpur but now it's mostly Malays . According to local law hiring has to parallel the local groups so about 65 % of the crew were Malays with another 20 % Chinese, and 10% 5 Indians including Tamils .A diverse looking crew , at the front desk there were woman in hijabs along with Chinese woman looking very western and the Indian /Tamil women like the Chinese women but often with the addition of lots & lots of gold. Errrr discrimination Malaysian style too . While 20% of the crew were Chinese they had something like 90% of the management jobs .Of 4 ass't general managers 3 of the 4 were Chinese. When I asked the HR manager about the near monopoly of Chinese ass't managers he first looked at me as if I was insane. Not surprising , found on past trips here the Chinese in Malaysia want to hold on to their privileged position . He must have gone to the general manager who soon told me that the majority of ass't general mangers are Chinese since they were the most qualified then made a not so hidden dig at Malays. In a questionnaire and one on one comments we heard much about the Chinese keeping the whole hog for themselves. My new Tamil friend Guest Services ass't manager Sakira backed up everything about the general manager favoring fellow Chinese .Am still trying to word that in a sensitive way in my report . English spoked here .Most of the crew spoke English since it is a required subject in schools .Good ! Made working here much much easier then in other places we've been . The accents however were unique depending on the English teacher .Heard English in the British ,Australian , Indian ( screechy ) , American versions .Also the robotic version , was this AI ? Never had to use the Cantonese or Indonesian ( like the Malay language ) apps on my my phone . Several times crossed paths with Overlanders, a remarkable group of people I've run into here in southeast Asia before. Australians & New Zealanders who travel across Asia all the way to London . Saw several headed out the door of the hotel with huge nylon backpacks and expensive vibram soled boots as happy as anyone could be .Wished them good luck and told them from the bottom of my heart I wanted to go with them .All laffed and one said I could come along but wud need to change my clothes since the suit & heels wudn't go with the road .They don't know me, at least a younger version of myself wud have gone along in the same clothes Hotel rates are cheaper then anywhere else we've been .The house was spotless . They offered me a suite but instead stayed in a regular room that was great . We all had breakfast together as a group and our nitely meetings . The team was only able to have dinner one nite but everyone ate with another team members each nite .Of the 8 of us 5 were Jews , moi ,COMMANDER DASH and Toby were not , Toby however had once been married to a Jewish guy . Everyone but me & Commander Dash had gone to Cornell. While Commander dash had been in the Navy 26 years between the Navy Academy and his career he had only spent 2.5 years on a ship, the rest on land . No hadn't been weaseling out of dangerous sea duty , instead did military police & security work on land including in dangerous spots such as Iraq, Afghanistan , Libya ( like my ex Tarja) along with the air war against Serbia and Guantanamo ! If my period had not come think I wud have slept with COMMADER DASH . Was my period was Heaven's way of telling to stay away from married men ? Despite the onslaught of my period moi thinks she did well doing my job above & beyond duty Next our time way from the hotel . Yesterday was the Andro look of black polo shirt / black period panties/ beige slacks / brown flats . Today has been a Navy Blue Tee & another pair of period panties , jean cut-offs, and falling apart white canvas sneakers. * Dash Riprock .A macho sounding name of a fake macho movie star on the old tv series THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES .Sounds perfect for real life macho guys like the retired navy guy we had along .

Hello all you wonderful readers. A regular post will follow in a few hours. Am up late on the phone with corporate back in the USA . In brief a great Memorial Day week-end that included making progress writing up our report on Kuala Lumpur ( OMG am now seeing work as fun, am turning into a workaholic corporate robot who's job is their life ) and with Mr Man including his Little Mr Man inside all my body parts except my ears & nostrils A good party of mostly American expats on Sunday .Moi enjoyed being around other Americans but also at the same time felt a sense of superiority to several since had better perspective about living here & Filipino's .They did not understand that this is a whole other country where things are not done exactly like they are back in the USA . Now in a white Tee & boys white jockey shorts waiting for my scheduled call with the VP for Asian operations .Back later .

Am here, hyped up on coffee eager to please 2 calls with corporate tonite and more to come tomorrow. I shouldn't complain , even though this job involves staying up late into the nite and going in to the office on next to no sleep it beats bartending Although going back to doing that has always been my fall back career wonder if my lower back, legs, feet could do it any more ? Kuala Lumpur The Tour . In general like about everywhere in southeast Asia hot & sticky . Lots like near by Singapore ( they are only 200 miles apart) with mountains of high rises and a mix of architectural styles . Often dazzling to see. But not as pretty ( at least to moi ) as Singapore lacking it's ocean .Many more Muslims too, mostly Malays but also many Chinese despite the majority of them being Buddhists . Personally wished I could have avoided tour the hotel set up .Although I sweated thru my clothes in the horrid weather had more fun the first time here exploring by myself .But in the corporate world you have to be a team player , shit ! Went for 7 hours . The 8 of us piled into a Toyota van that reminded me of the vans we rode around in during when in Turkey . Fringe lined the side & back windows . There was a driver and an ethnic Chinese guide who spoke perfect British English plus the hotel's one female ass't general manager who was full of personality ( no surprise also an ethnic Chinese ) .While they didn't send a woman to my room as team leader did get to sit in the front Rained off & on which didn't bother anyone . The first stop was the dual Petronas Towers which our guide falsely insisted was the tallest building in the world , Commander Dash Riprock later telling me that is in Dubai .The towers really are fantastic with all sorts of activities on the ground floor plus higher up a land bridge between the the 2 towers. Really was a great view and several of us greed it felt like we were in the city of the future. The towers had lots to se& do including an aquarium with big sharks and archery .A huge play area for kids .A science museum too where we spent close to 2 hours. Didn't do anything for me but our makeshift team loved it . Moi heroically sacrificed for her troops Posed for a group photo at the I LOVE KL sign , that was fun . There was a steady stream of people doing the same since the sign is a famous landmark . Everyone enjoyed the Kuala Lumpur Gallery which is the city museum .One exhibit was a wooden model version of the city , Mitchell & Gigi laffed at that since their fathers were model railroaders with little cities spread across their basements Our tour was pretty concentrated in . Went thru the British Colonial Town with plenty of historic buildings built by the British who were there from to Included a cricket Pitch that our guide Mr Tang said is still used since Malaysians are fanatic about cricket .Huh ? The old colonial British empire train station with it's Indian /Middle Eastern design . We walked around inside at my request , I love train stations since you see so much life & energy . The building & history seemed to come together . The new modern station too , lots of people but as warm as a McDonalds Visits to the Textile Museum that Toby & Gigi loved. Saw the impressive looking Sultan Abdul Samad building that houses government offices .Their was a young Chinese wedding couple & entourage having photos taken outside The Sultan Abdul Jamek mosque too which wss a blend of Arabic & Indian styles. Very beautiful .Was proud of my team since none joked or complained about Muslims .The first time here one of the women in our group blew up hearing I'd gone to se the National Mosque and a Muslim art museum . Everyone was adult this time The partial exception was Gigi who was upset she had to wear a temporary scarf, she worried it wud ruin her always ornate & fancy art Rococo style hair. She got over it We'd been barefoot in the mosque and wanted to stay that way , the rain coming down made being barefoot even more fun .But put my sneakers back on , here influenced by the maturing presence of Commander Dash Riprock The Central Market too although that got cut short because of rain . A good dinner in Chinatown . We got the idea tour guide and the owner were related. No surprise even more then the USA things work on connections in Asia .Did not know who she was but had to work to contain my laffter listening to a 80 something Chinese woman speaking English telling some other older women about her days as a Madam The general manager was there when we got back being all smiles and wanting to hear about our trip .Another meal followed. By the end moi was half dead. In my room changed pads & undies and fell asleep right away . Today was a pink sheath dress/ boys jockey shorts / sheer footlets & beige flats .Accs'd with my small size shark's too necklace. Now in a white Tee & the undies .

^^^^^^ Happy to see my late nite/early morning edition got over 80 hits.Thank you ! Despite 3 hours of sleep am still in operational mode . Expect to soon crash .Today's post has is all misc .stuff /this & that . Kuala Lumpur fini ................ The hodge podge crew worked out pretty good. No ego's , no competition , no messing with moi . Easy working with them now online/the phone. Was proud of all of them for visiting the mosque without negative comments or freaking out . When I visited the national mosque the first time we looked at the hotel had then teammate Andrea freaking out saying I was a terrorist and " anti -semiete " or whatever it's called. All I wanted to do was see something important about the place where we were and so did th people I worked with on this trip In retaliation while she invited the whole team over to her place for a Passover Seder she deliberately did not invite moi . Got a beautiful coffee table book about Kuala Lumpur to add to my collection of coffee table books of the cities we're visited . The general manager of the told me just last week some members of the royal family from a small oil rich country near- by had stayed at the hotel .Moi had crossed paths with some of them years ago when they stayed at the hotel I was working at in Beijing . While no problem as guests I could never get it out of my mind the ruling Sultan has had lesbians & gays executed, death by stoning History too, the general manager also mentioned North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un had his brother murdered at the Kuala Lumpur airport however prior to that the doomed brother had been staying at our hotel Gave some thought to asking what room he stayed in , good lord I hope it wasn't the one I was in Hearing that added to the list of creepy things connected to Malaysia that starts with Malaysia Airlines the airline of death While I missed out on fun with Commander Dash Riprock can live with that . Maybe we'll work together again and have another opportunity to coitus Fun with the team at the airport when we all headed home .Everyone was happy of a job well done Mr Man & the holiday week-end. A good time , we all need someone in our life Saturday afternoon we kicked around Chinatown in the rain which had lots of charm .Except for eating no big agenda, just walking a round in the rain looing at the people and stores Kept an eye out for abacus's .Got him one for his B'day , the perfect gift for an accountant that he liked . Right away became a hobby with him building up a collection .Much say a collection of abacus's is prettier then other tools used to count like those old fashioned tabulating machines We were at a 40-50 person party on Sunday for Labor Day . Almost all Americans . While established to honor blue collar workers the day has been transformed into the unofficial but official end of the summer holiday & like this in election years the start of the campaign season that ends in November. Talk included........... The usual about life as foreigners here in Manila. Along with other Asian cities people have visited. Interesting to hear .We all laffed hearing one guy from the US embassy tell about having just been in some North African country where it never rains ( for years ) and is now here where the rains go on for months & months. One newcomer discovered that you never get the correct change back from merchants , especially at restaurants & street vendors/small shops . We laffed at that too telling how cheating customers is a standard business practice to make some extra money here in The Philippines and nobody sees it as being bad . Some adventurous types. There's an American skydiving club ? Not for me ! But a new softball league is planned for when monsoon season ends.That might be fun. Several people talking about being in Labor Day parades as kids, the ones I went too always had Girl Scouts & Boy Scouts . One perky blonde hair blue eyed California type woman told how she had been the drum Majorette who led her high school band in the parades .Good for her Am sure my amiga's Leslie & Shanny who were working as strippers at 17 could have beat any of her moves plus mocked her to death for doing something so dorky/ traditional girly girl Some election talk , most everyone was for Harris We expats are a sophisticated bunch Must get in touch with the local Overseas Democrats about an election nite party . A few exceptions including an excited guy in his 2's was 110% sure trump wud win in a landslide and who thought trump had won in 2020 Am sure he also owns a skateboard & likes gaming People in need of adulthood .There was f/m couple in their 3's in matching black designer Tee's proudly boasting how they are in a throuple .Their unicorn couldn't be there since she was working a flight .Thought to myself as the veteran of 2 throuples knew they are having fun now but trouble/pain lies ahead since throuples cannot survive over time !!! . A woman in her 2's proudly showing off her new tattoos ( some Chinese writing on her arms) and pedi .Grow up . Now winding down , need to sleep .Today for work it was Fresh Cote polo dress / white colored boy's jockey shorts / beige flats . Accs'd with a gold chain .Now a white Tee & the undies.

Your favorite menstrual survivor in back ! In the past have had post period issues like headaches & angst but not now. The last one was so bad I now feel a renewed sense of life & am ready for fun Includes everything from an orgy , a chug a lug contest , sailing on Manila Bay contest, a great discussion Without warning corporate called again in the middle of the nite. Always worry about those late nite calls since its either those bloodsuckers back at Mount Olympus wanting to get even more work out of me or bad news about someone I know. Last nite it was the VP for Asian operations who was full of questions & suggestions. Hearing him on the phone quickly snapped to attention . Sitting there on the phone with him pulling things up on my laptop only in undies & Zebra eyeglasses that always make me feel smarter We talked for 90 something minutes. More to come about that . ^^^^^^ My new career goal is to someday rise so high in the corporation like with the men when visiting the various properties they send a girl to my room and unless it's something like a terrorist attack or huge fire at the hotels nobody calls me in the middle of the nite without so much as a "Sorry to interrupt your sleep " ever again ! Leaving my apartment this morning had to stop and go pet Orange The cat .She was stretched out on her side and meowed at me when I got to the door as if she was calling me over. She was too, went over and scratched her belly with her then purring away Positive attention in the lobby .As I joined the line for coffee a strange man smiled & said hello , then thanks for helping my girlfriend .Who was this guy , what was he talking about ? Then Polly who is only 5' emerged from behind Rolf who is is as sprawling as metro Los Angeles saying hi , introducing me to the strange guy who was named named Ian ( another New Zealander) who was her new BF . He was very nice, the " helping my girl friend " referred to me saving Polly from that pig Gwyneth /Al when she was threatening threatening Polly in the elevator .I smiled , said thanks .Did not want to brag although that wud have been as yuppyistique as my nice work clothes *He added some humor saying that I don't look ferocious as he looked at my bare feet.Joked myself saying I am no snake eater but just before I threw Gwyneth/Al out of the elevator I invoked a secret hillbilly chant that made me Xena ,Warrior Princes . We all laffed. No shoes in the lobby but put them on in the taxi for the office. Wud later take them off in the office and in the taxi back home .I am a born rebel Gigi 's thing about her hair is too much however today she was wearing a red horizontal stripe dress that she looked fantastic in .I now want one ! Sean on our team , my amiga Reynalda at the front desk , and a few other local staffers have remarked how happy & relaxed the general manger Don Francisco looks with his domineering entitled wife away for the next month in the USA .Doesn't surprise moi ! In celebration of my joyous post menstrual condition I m'bated at lunch in the women's locker room Today was a white linen sheath dress/ boys jockey shorts , nude footlets & pink heels .Accs'd with my white pearls. Now in a white Tee & the undies. * Yuppys love pretending to be tough guys but I will never do that . Nice clothes for work are another matter

Yesterday was a major event here at THANK YOU MARILYN KING & ZHANG PIAO: THE LEFGEND CONTINUES..., we had a record number of 176 hits Thank you all ! The importance of stability & routine came home today .Although I am a born anarchist as well as sex addict & alcoholic it hit me today how we all need structure. I grew up in an insane family and from 13 an insane neighborhood where anything could happen and there were no rules/boundaries* . At least today I enjoyed structure ! Began this morning getting ready for work .The coffee goes on ,Orange The Cat gets fed . I take a shower, then make -up . Followed by getting dressed & a hearty breakfast of coffee & some type of roll .Then out the door carrying my rain poncho & shoes that I put on in the lobby . Happy to see Orange The Cat getting better with the monsoons . At first she was cared of the rain & thunder , so hid under the bed .The fear probably goes back to her wild days on the street as a feral cat living on the street .Now adjusting at new indoor home She was funny too swiping at my pantyhose when I put them on Work . More on the report of the hotel in Kuala Lumpur . Included e-mails from the 3 temporary team members now back in L.A. .That Mitchell is a good writer , I 'd love to have him out here as our editor/re-write person . Yesterday I was impressed & jealous of Gigi in a beautiful traditional straight from MARTHA'S VINYARD ** horizontal stripe dress but not so today , she looked strange in a red blouse with slits on the side, a single giant hoop earring , these stupid looking white nails Lunch with the general manager plus 2 ass't general mangers, . It 's a monthly tradition to keep up a good working atmosphere . Today was enjoyable , in part since new ass't general manager Susan was so bubbly & smart as well as since the general manager's horrible wife was not there but in California . Have mentioned how many at the hotel are saying he looks more relaxed/happy That was certainly true today with the old boy being in a very good mood Later the monthly gathering of the American Expat group The 5:30PM Cub .About 35 people .The usual with talk about where everyone was from back home , their jobs out here, American sports , and the election . Along with the search for love or at least a one nite stand Also 5 Manila Honeys, 20'ish Pinay girls looking for an American husband or at least Sugar Daddy With me it was lite chatter and my antenna up for decadent pleasure. No luck .Met my current SO Mr Man at one of those gala's as well as the other penis person ** I went out with 6 moths after I got here , a fun but dishonest relationship ( he lied about not being married with kids) but at least moi got laid ( included a threesome with another American woman ) and while it ended badly ( dropped him when I found out about the family) ) I still walked away with pride for doing the right thing. Asshole. Some teasing . Standing at the bar in front of a table full of guys talking about football attention whore'ing pulling up both legs of the pantyhose. All suddenly the enthusiastic jocko macho talk about quarterbacks, yardage, Hail Mary passes ended as they were glued/mesmerized /awe struck by this exhibitionistic old broad In it's own way that fit in with today's appreciation of stability with me knowing since I was a tween doing things like that wud get me much appreciated attention from guys Back Sunday or Monday .Am joining my ex Tarja's countrymen working at he orphanage .Have my Tee with that European country's flag on the front ready . Today was a reddish orange or orangish red sheath dress / suntan pantyhose sans undies / beige kitten heels . Accs'd with a white stone bead necklace and my fake Rolex ( wore it because of my lunch with the general manager since these Filipino's love all things upscale ) .Now in a white Tee * The only boundary at home was staying a way from other people's dope. Everything else was up for grabs including stealing each others money & men . As a result lots of stuff there but the wildest thing was my sisters Lori & Linsey having kids with the same guy My niece & nephew were at the same time each other's brother & sister as well as first cousins. ** Penis person is a name for men I first heard from our friend Shoshana a radical dyke & andro .She hated men so much she could nit say man or guy or boy dude etc but dismissed them all as penis people .White guys were pale penis people while non white guys were penis people of color .All evil

Happy Monday ! Really do have to do a post about stability in one's life. Although a born anarchist moi not only needs it but is desperate for it so long as there is room for me to experiment , occasionally go crazy Work , friends curiosity , a relationship all are the table legs Today the Angel , the whore, and dedicated corporate robot A demanding & inspiring week-end at the orphanage . Moi & the other volunteers from Europe were kept busy all Saturday . Helped in the laundry and swept /mopped the floors. They offered me kitchen duty but since I can't cook anything beyond a hot dog & popcorn turned it down. Worked hard staying by myself on Sunday , included herding the kids into Mass and later marching outside in the rain to burn off energy . There was moi in her brite red rain poncho and maybe 100 small children in donated old fashioned yellow rubber rain coats Cory as I call her , the precocious 6 year old who is both a kid and an adult at the same time and ALWAYS a joy to be around Was very happy to se me, we had a chance to spend an hour or so alone Saturday nite talking away about important things in life like POKEMON & her singing class Was very complimented she wanted to be with me instead of watching the weekly Saturday nite movie with the other kids I wish I had he confidence/assertiveness and kindness. One of the Nuns says she's great with smaller children , always there to hug someone upset That's something at her age I wud have never thought about . The director asked me to help to find jobs for 2 16 year old girls leaving soon .Mission accomplished. Today the general manager agreed to find something for them at the hotel , probably as maids which is a start . When I left last nite went over to Perla's . Like Tarja last year I will soon be losing ( at least for the next year ) another woman in my life. But she is so happy /excited about the FBI academy I am too for her, you have to want the best for the people close to you . Perla was great , while very butch with a shaved head & weight last nite she was very femme yesterday in a make-up & a dress . I was calling her Audrey Hepburn . Had been at big family thing earlier. While times with her can get rough ( the last time leaving me with bruises on my arm & neck ) last nite was soft & warm Lots of talk & cuddling and best of all mutual happiness at being together She was an unexpected surprise when I came out here , becoming a lover and also friend . 2 people from totally different backgrounds & continents we hit it off Why , how? Along with both having blood relatives as our first sexual partners & being dykes a big reason of our friendship is we both want to do something with our lives & are not interested in office politics , gossiping , backstabbing . My respect for her rose with time after seeing how she is an honest &well meaning cop here in a country where most cops are thieves & tend to be bullys Happy to say physicality came into the picture, no BDSM but we still fucked each other's brains out Work . The spare dress I keep at the office came in handy when I walked in this morning in Tee & jean cut offs As usual the bellman & Security guy tried but were unable to hide their giggling at the site of a barefoot woman taking off her red rain poncho to reveal only a Tee & cut -offs instead of a dress . I laffed inside at them since little did they know my undies were in one of the pockets of the cut -offs Happy & proud to say we will wrap up the report on Kuala Lumpur this week Today was both my Navy Blue Tee & the jean cut offs as well as black safari dress & the black kitten heels I also keep at the office .No undies Now in an over sized white Tee to sleep in .

Simultaneous identities , take you pick of who I am ............. The Whore of Babylon who loves sleeping with both men & women ( have done so this week ) flirting , and exhibitionism is here today ........ The Nice 'kano lady who volunteers at the orphanage is here today ............ The competent & motivated corporate executive dedicated to doing a good job even though the suits/ my team mates all say she talks funny is here today .............. The curious observer who loves looking at the world is here today ................ Childless cat lady ( what Trump's VP running mate JD Vance called Kamala Harris) is here today ............ Feel free to think of moi in anyway you want As contradictory as some of those identities match seem they do give me a persona & that structure in life I've been writing about Am waiting for a call from corporate in 2 hours or so .The suits at Mount Olympus always want something , often what "I've written right in front of them on the monitor .Am happy however they are calling me a decent enough time instead of as usual in the middle of the nite leaving me unable to get back to sleep and later half dead at the office Sad to say I won't be able to take the morning off to watch the debate between Kamala Harris and cheeto ( Cheeto being an orange colored potato chip like snack food full of grease that a steady diet of will kill you ) ) since am having lunch with some people from the property company that owns the hotel building my employers lease. Must stay on their good side at all cost ! Also have to dress up , nothing I can't handle but have been enjoying being on the informal side after having to be dressed up in Kuala Lumpur. Will later get a chance to re-hash the debate at a party that nite held by local Democrats .Hope there is an open bar Perla. She isn't even gone and I'm already missing her .Loved the other nite with her ! She is a great lover & wonderful woman . Like with my ex Tarja also a butch . After years of femmes * have regretted not being interested in butch's before but better late then never and I have certainly made up for lost opportunities Have had wonderful times with Perla The other nite was possibly the last time we will 'be' together before she goes off to FBI school .Will miss the sex and her personality .Along with all that as a Filipino aka Pinay how she taught me many interesting things about this country . Some family tradition .Her father & a brother went to a army or CIA school in the USA where they train foreigners to fight communism which am sure included torture techniques . Perla however will be taught about more sophisticated things like investigation methods & profiling Perla herself is looking forward to the curriculum , seeing the USA ( plans to get to NYC & Disneyworld in Florida) and also snow which she has never seen before Bought a dress & some undies on the way home .Little treats for myself to briten up my life Also to get a chance to walk barefoot in the rain & feel free Today was a Fresh Cote sheath dress/ boys jockey shorts /my plastic imitation Dr Scholl's sandals to the office / beige flats at the office. Accs'd with a white stone bed necklace . * Moi actually had sex with only one actual butch years & years before my new fanatic interest arouse in 2017 . That time was a a disaster with her being way to Dom and me later that nite getting sick and vomiting in bed. Although put off by what I saw as their anger /hostility can see now I was inching toward butches . Cheated on Karin with a woman named Monica who was a femme weekdays but leather girl on week-ends . Something could have happened with her after Karin & broke up but didn't since Monica was back with an ex.Then while fell in bed with Wendy Kay a femme and her gf the masculine Barb who looked like a young Clint Eastwood and the rest was history
