<p>::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::</p>
<p>Hell~o minna-hun~! &lt;¯ʎ¯&gt;/</p>
<p>How are you? &lt;•ω•&gt;/</p>
<p>Any happenings lately? &lt;^x^&gt;/</p>
<p>Sheep is sorry for not updating the blog for the whole weekend. Well, there was nothing on my side other than getting stranded at the Bay. (<em>Laughs</em>)</p>
<p>Nonetheless, I enjoyed my peaceful weekend. &lt;^-^&gt;/</p>
<p>This is&#8230; ↓</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 250px"><img title="Ms.Aya" src="http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l389/paperdiaries/Aya/P1040565.jpg" alt="Todays Ms.Aya" width="240" height="320" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Today&#39;s Ms.Aya~☆</p></div>
<p>What a stupid face. <em>(Laughs</em>) &lt;T_T&gt;</p>
<p>This afternoon, I went to WATSONS pharmacy to browse around for some facial products. ↓</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 330px"><img title="WATSONS" src="http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l389/paperdiaries/Aya/Image000-1.jpg" alt="WATSONS" width="320" height="240" /><p class="wp-caption-text">WATSONS</p></div>
<p>Incidentally, I met an aunty whom I&#8217;ve spoken to before and knowing aunties, they talk a lot. Plus being me, I just can&#8217;t seem to walk away from these kind of people. &lt;_   _&gt;lll</p>
<p>Now that I think about it properly &#8212; I seem to attract more aunties and adult women than people in my age group. There was even a time I went shopping for clothes with an aunty whom I don&#8217;t even know!</p>
<p>Apparently, she had an occasion to attend to and she couldn&#8217;t find a boutique that sells clothes for her age. She asked other youngsters where she could find those kind of clothing stores and none of them were very helpful.</p>
<p>She then approached me and because I am a helpful sheep (YES! SHEEP IS HELPFUL) &#8212; I took her to a boutique that I know of. I was then stuck with her for hours just because she couldn&#8217;t decide what blouse to purchase. So I had to help her select a suitable and reasonably priced blouse.</p>
<p>Anyway as I was saying, I feel like an aunty (oba-san) magnet. &lt;;__;&gt; (<em>Tears</em>)</p>
<p>Mum says she&#8217;s proud of me because older women favors me for my good manners and nature. &lt;_   _&gt;</p>
<p>You know what? &lt;.__.&gt;</p>
<p>She&#8217;s right and I shouldn&#8217;t view this oba-san magnet as an insult. &lt;^x^&gt;/</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Here are the benefits for being an oba-san magnet:</span></h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>You learn a lot about motherhood and cooking</strong> &#8211; Who else can teach and train you to become a super mum other than &#8212; MOTHERS? They can answer almost everything, anything. You can&#8217;t get the  &#8220;<em>I don&#8217;t know&#8230;.&#8221; </em>face from them. (But if you ask them about computers, you are the moron. Not them)<em><br />
</em></li>
<li><strong>They really care for you</strong> &#8211; Their concerns are genuine and they don&#8217;t judge you. In fact, they&#8217;ll take care of you or at least recommend you a medicine that really cures you!</li>
<li><strong>Lots of funny and amusing stories</strong> &#8211; If you are curious about how life was before you were born, aunties can tell you better than your friends. Also, you will know what&#8217;s going on around your neighbourhood.</li>
<li><strong>They are generous</strong> &#8211; Aunties are very generous in just about anything.  If they cook extra dishes, they&#8217;ll share. If they have unused clothes, they&#8217;ll give it to you. Solely because they don&#8217;t want to let it go to waste. And adults are fond of passing their things down to the younger generation.</li>
<li><strong>They know a lot of people</strong> &#8211; Suppose you need a doctor or someone trusty, aunties do have their own connections. And it is their nature to be skeptical before declaring someone a trusting individual.</li>
<li><strong>Match make</strong> &#8211; (<em>Laughs</em>) Need I say more?</li>
</ol>
<p>&#8230; Now that I&#8217;ve stated my point of view about befriending with aunties/middle-age women&#8230;</p>
<p>However&#8230; I can&#8217;t help but to think..</p>
<h2><strong> <span style="color:#993300;">Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if I have this same alluring charm for MEN?</span></strong></h2>
<p>Perhaps there is something about me that puts men off.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Can you guys help me spot the culprit?</span></strong></p>
<p>Is it my face?</p>
<p>My hair?</p>
<p>My flat-boobs?</p>
<p>My clothes?</p>
<p>Please tell me! &lt;∏_∏&gt; (<em>Cries</em>)</p>
<p><strong>&#8212; <span style="color:#993300;">Ms.Aya</span> awaits for answers!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Do you have any oba-san stories to share? &lt;.__.&gt;{?] Tell me! \&lt;^v^&gt;/</p>
<h2><strong>Oba-san Magnet Formula:</strong></h2>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Women</span> + oba-san magnet =</strong> <span style="color:#000080;"><strong>A good thing.</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Men</span> + oba-san magnet = </strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>SHIT&#8230;</strong></span></p>
