A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for a potential victim and here listed below are some interesting facts on what they say.
- The first thing they look for a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman in ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can easily grabbed. Yung mga babae na mukhang estudyante at madaling hawakan sa buhok habang nakadogstyle....joke.
- The second thing is they look for clothing. Yung mga nakadamit na halos lumuwa at maghello na ang kanilang hinaharap. Remember Priscilla Almeda in Sutla...
- They also look for women on their cellphone or doing other activities while walking. Yun bang mga babae na nagpapaganda habang naglalakad sa dilim...teka, mga pokpok ang ganun ah...well basta yung mga busy habang naglalakad, kase di na sila makakapanlaban pag ganun.
- The number one place where women are abducted from or attacked is at grocery store parking lot. Siguro sa America or sa ibang bansa, sa mga parking lot, pero sa Pinas usually sa mga eskinita or sa mga liblib na lugar pede na, unless kung mayaman ang rapist, sa mall or sa mga parking lot sila aatake.
- Number two are office parking lots/garages. 'Wag po SIR, wag po...Yun lang.
- Number three are public restrooms. Dito sa case na to, tomboy ang rapist mo. Unless na nakaabang ang guy na rapist sa labas ng CR.
- The thing about rapists is the location. Yung walang makakakita at makakahuli. Usually dun sa makakating lugar, gaya ng talahiban.
- They like those women who still fighting the time they attacked her. Siyempre kung ikaw ang rapist at di ka nanlaban, isa lang ibig sabihin nun, its either bakla ka, pokpok ka or pangit ka.
- These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands. Kase usually ang nagdadala ng mga payong na mahahaba ay mga lola lang.
- Lastly, convince them or look like you're not worth it. Magsuot ka ba ng pambahay, yung tipong mamamalengke ka lang habang papunta ng office, or nakadaster ka lang habang ikaw ang CEO ng company, di ba ansaya, siguro di ka na marereyp nyan.
Since today is 09/09/09, a good number for fengshui believer. I just wanted to share a story that makes me joyful everytime i remembered.
This happened many years ago, when I was in college. I was on my 3rd year taking ECE course, alone & lonely (well just think of being dumped by someone). Actually, yes, I was dumped by a girl and that was the first time that I was rejected, coz' usually I was the one do the 'leaving on the jet plane' thing. Do you know the feeling of a little kid who was bullied and got his lunch box by those big kids? That same feeling I felt at that time, I was bullied & no one left on me except the dirt on my shirt.
During that time, I cannot concentrate on my studies... I always wanted to be left alone. One time my friend caught me crying, but I denied it, and said, 'no I just have dirt my eyes that causes me looks like crying'. But indeed deep inside I was crying. Its just I really love the girl, thats why I acted like that. I really love her to the point that no one left on me, for Mariah "I give My all"(the song). This situation left me also a memorable mark on my classcard too.When I get my grade on MECHANICS, its was not failed nor even dropped, its LEFT, meaning you enrolled the subject and left it. Imagine even on my classcard, the whole world wanted to know that I was LEFT by someone.
Then second semester came, I was still on pain, but not the same as before the 1st sem ended (in hospital term, ON RECOVERY). Yes, i am on recovery, because I still have friends who always there to tease me, to flashbacked the last time situation that I am into. Then there is one girl who always at a distance looking at me, staring at me. She's not quite pretty, but not ugly, she very simple in many ways, not talkative not like the others, I remember her, shes my constant seatmate on one of my subject.
One time, while hurriedly walking to attend a class on Advanced Math, (I dont know what happended on me) I said "Hello" to her while I passed through her and then she smile back and say 'HI'. Upon hearing her voices theres an urge on me to meet her. I left my friend and said 'go ahead, alot of numbers awaits on you', 'Xerox ko na lang ang notes mo mamaya'. Then I walked back to the girl that made my heart exciting. As I walked through the bench where she was seated, I had many butterflies flying on my stomach, and when I reached her place, my mouth burst asking, 'ate, me kopya ka ba ng lesson nyo kanina sa Advanced Math' then, she replied, 'ate ka jan, meron kuya'. Then we both laughed after. A few minutes, after got back from photocopying her notes, I asked her name. Her name is not-so-pretty-woman. After asking whats on the notes, I've got an instant tutor, lolz, I've got a friend & I found out that shes more smarter than me, because shes a deans lister while I am a manong-computer-rental lister (adik sa computer kase).
A month after exchanging phone numbers, making 'sabay' & 'kamusta' to her everyday and sharing ideas and thoughts, she confessed that she had a crush on me during the MECHANICS overload (overload kase, I lost a GF and Left a 5 units subject). She said that during that dark times of mine, she wanted to help me. After hearing that, I felt flattered, simply because on a distant, someway, somehow there is someone thinking & care for me from afar.
After the semester ends, with those routine of calling her, making hatid, and making sabay & kamusta to her, she became my girlfriend and now... wala na kame, joke.
It was wonderful sitting on a bench even I am here abroad, remembering that moment of joy meeting her.
Times like this belongs to one of top ten things in my life that gives me the utmost joy.
How about you? What makes you joyful?
Simbahan. Katedral. Moog. Kapilya. Church. Chapel. Iglesia. Tuklong.
Iba-iba man tayo ng tawag. Iba- iba man tayo ng pananaw sa relihiyon.
Iisa lang ang matibay nating sandigan ng kalungkutan at pagkabigo.

Sa panulat at sa kung saan man umabot ang ating kaalaman.
Sige maglayag ka...
Maglayag ka ng walang inaapakang iba.
Maglayag ka ng walang nasasaktang damdamin.
Maglayag ka ng taas noo at may dangal sa bayan mo.
At ipahayag mo ang alam mong tama at makabubuti sa'yo at sa iba.
Kaya't sige ipahayag mo...
Ipahayag mo ang damdamin mo ng tama.
Ipahayag mo ang mga saloobin mo ng maayos, upang ika'y matulungan.
Ipahayag mo ang lahat lahat ng nasa loob, hindi para ikaw ay purihin.
Bagkus upang ikaw ay tularan, pamarisan at gawing inspirasyon ng iba.
'Wag kang magpahamak o di kaya'y manghamak ng kapwa mo.

Bilang isang malayang Pilipino...
At bilang isang maglalayag at nagpapahayag...
Ipakita mo... Sa isip, Sa salita at Sa gawa.
Na ikaw ay isang mabuting tao...
