Despite my busy work schedule, I take time out to read and reply to every email I receive.  Occasionally, I go online and chat with whoever pops in my screen.  I have always felt that responding is the least I can do to those who make the effort to look at my pics, read my blog entries, and send me notes.

I must admit that I have had amusing exchanges with some of you.  However, there are others who come up with topics that are actually not in my comfort zone.  I understand that this is all out of ignorance.  But it is happening too often that I need to put my foot down.

Although initially I felt that these issues were simply insignificant discomforts, they have escalated to the level of internet pet peeves.  So it is best that we sit down and discuss this matter before it intensifies into something even more severe.  Besides, there is a Rants category in my blog section so I might as well put that to good use.

1. Asian Dyna:

Let’s begin with how I came up with my cyber name, Asian Dyna.  When put together, my partner’s and my real names is similar to dynamite.  But having the name “Dynamite” is just too cheesy.  So I shortened it to “Dyna.”  It also sounds better.  I added “Asian” before it because I am one and I want to be known as one.   I don’t mind being addressed as Asian Dyna, Asian, Dyna, A.D., A or D.  However, I cringe whenever I am called Dina, Diana, Asi, Asia (that’s the other FHM girl) or any other name for that matter.

2. Sex Talk:

As far as I know, we are all adults here.  It is best that we do away with juvenile and childish questions such as “Are you still a virgin?” “How many men have you had sex with?” “When was the last time you had sex?” “How many times do you have sex in a week?” “Are you good in bed?” or any other question an inexperienced grade school boy would ask.   To put it bluntly, I do not talk about sex.  And obviously, I do not engage in cybersex.  Making out in front of something that has a sticker with the words, “intel inside” is not my thing.

3. Personal Hygiene:

I do not feel comfortable when I am asked questions like “Do you shave?” “Do you wax?” “Do you do it yourself?” Where do you have it done?”  There is a reason it’s called personal hygiene.  Let’s live up to the meaning of the word “personal.”

4. Age and Vitals:

The resurgence of feminist and civil rights movements in the 1960’s made discussions about women’s vital statistics degrading and offensive.  Thanks to their cause, modern women should rightfully be judged based on character, intelligence, goals, ambitions, social awareness, etc. Not by numerical combinations.  If you ask me about my vital stats, my response to you will be, “What era are you from?”  And to all those who are interested to know my age, didn’t your mothers tell you it’s impolite to ask a lady that question?  Besides, after 220 pics, you all should have an idea of my numbers.  Please look at my photos and draw your own conclusions.

5. Pic Trade:

I do not trade, send or share photos with anyone.  I don’t see why these are necessary.  I post new photos every Tuesday and you all know where to access my previous pics.  Also, please stop asking me to show my privates in my next posts.  Last time I checked, FHM is not porn site.

6. Advice:

I appreciate the fact that some of you make me a sounding board to your problems.  I always try my best to give advice.  However, I always feel uncomfortable when these types of conversation arise.  I must remind you that I am not Dr. Phil.  I post pics for fun and not to save the world.  On the same breath, I am not a matchmaker or a sex guru.

7. Chatting:

I chat using Yahoo Messenger, nothing else.  I only chat - no video and voice, please.  And, I certainly do not do live shows.  I am online only when I am in the office.  If you see me online and you pop in my screen, be patient.  Although my office work plus several other chatters are tough to manage, I will always squeeze in a reply.  So please go easy on the alert tones; I heard you the first time.  Also, I reply to words and statements.  If you want to converse with me, have the balls to actually say something instead of hiding behind audibles, buzzes, emoticons and smileys.  Lastly, I do not respond to offline messages.  When I’m offline that means I’m offline.  Send me an email instead.

8. Emails:

Thank you to everyone who invited me, or wish to invite me to their personal pages in various social networking websites.  However, I have to decline all offers.  My plate is full from regularly posting pics and blogging for FHM.  I don’t think I have enough room to maintain more profiles.  Another thing, if you want to email me, make sure that it is not a forwarded message.  First, I never read them. Second, I never respond to them. Third, I delete them instantly.   I reply only to personally written emails.

9. What to talk about:

After learning about my pet peeves and the fact that I do not discuss details about my identity, some of you might be wondering: What else can we talk about?  Oh, dear! Lots:  my photos, blog entries, shopping, food, music, books, clothes, fashion…Must I really go through this? I think you now get the idea.

Now that I got all of that out of my chest, I actually feel better.  We can all sit back, relax and have more pleasant correspondences and conversations.  Talk to you soon!
