Why sit?

I have been wondering why for many years, why do ladies like to use sitting toilet bowl when squat is more hygienic.

There are times you see footprints on the pedestal. Apparently some squatted on top of the pedestal seat. How 'considerate' they are! Some don't know how they sit, never 'aim' (yea right. Ladies need to aim too) properly and dirty the pedestal seat. To weigh to pros and cons, personally i think squat is so much better than sit. Why have all the public toilets turn most of the cubicles to sitting toilet bowl?

Only yesterday then i realised the possible reason.

It was my grandpa's 90th birthday. My family made a trip back to Malaysia to celebrate this BIG occasion with him. Half way through the dinner, my grandma wanted to go to the restroom. I held her there. The inconsiderate me trying to look for a clean squatting cubicle for her, at the same time she is looking for a sitting one. Not understanding why, i held her to the sitting cubicle. While she was closing the door, i suddenly have a revelation. It can be pretty dangerous for elderly to use the squatting cubicle because they could easily fall when they get up. Ah.. the answer that i have been looking has finally came to me. Its one advantage 'kills' all the pros of a squatting toilet bowl. Sitting toilet bowls are created for safety reasons, friendly for the elderly, the handicaps and even for the sick. People with low blood pressure can feel faint when they got up from squatting. I used to think the design is mere stupidity! I have to repent and salute them!

Truly, every creation is designed to serve its purpose. Everything exists for a reason. Surely, God does not create human being for mere existence. There is surely something more than life and the question we should ask ourselves is, "are we living up to our purpose?" instead of "why are we here on earth?"

If you are like me who can't use the sitting toilet bowl with a peace of mind, try using the toilet hygiene spray. It sanctifies the pedestal seat and with the aroma that lingers in the air, it really gives you a pleasant feeling while you do your business (hee). It can be purchased at Carrefour or Guidance. Look something like this Sure Clean Hygiene spray. I never leave home without this!

Photographers & Beautiful things

This picture was taken from an old alley in VilleFranche, France. If you are there, you might not even give it a second look. But this picture was beautifully taken and it has a 'taste', really made this alley look beautiful and rich. So i have a thought...

Photographers like beautiful things or
Photographers see things beautifully?
