Last week, Zang told me that I was hacked!? yes… HACKED! I guess this is something terrible news to some bloggers but when I heard it I was like “Okay… it’s going to be back, I know”. After a week, I checked and some odd images appeared on my webbie. It was scary… I felt like I terrorists were pointing a gun on me. Poor www.mckhoii.com. I would like to thank hyperwebenable for fixing my webbie though and now, I’m BACK!!!! Godbless you guys! Go Go GO GO!

I’ve shared to you on my previous post what sexual identity and what gender identity are. Now, let me share to you another set of terms that can help you further in studying human sexuality.

John Money and Anke Ehrhardt described gender role behavior as all those things that a person says or does to disclose himself or herself as having the status of boy or man, girl or woman, respectively. A gender role is not established at birth but is built up cumulatively through (1) experiences encountered and transacted through casual and unplanned learning, (2) explicit instruction and inculcation, and (3) spontaneously putting two and two together to make sometimes four and sometimes five. The usual outcome is a congruence of gender identity and gender role. Although biological attributes are significant, the major factor in achieving the role appropriate to a person’s sex is learning.

Persons’ gender roles can seem to be opposed to their gender identities. Persons may identify with their own sex and yet adopt the dress, hairstyle, or other characteristics of the opposite sex. Or, they may identify with the opposite sex and yet for expediency adopt many behavioral characteristics of their own sex.

Sexual orientation describes the object of a person’s sexual impulses: heterosexual (opposite sex), homosexual (same sex), or bisexual (both sexes). A group of people have defined themselves as “asexual” and assert this as a positive identity. Some researchers believe this lack of attraction to any object is a manifestation of a desire disorder.

On my next post, I will share to you how to play with these terms in describing one’s personality. I’m excited about this. Watch out for it! See yah!

While I was reading the newet edition of the Synopsis of Psychiatry by Kaplan and Saddock (10th ed), I bumped into something that I really want to share with my peers. Read on..

Sexuality depends on four interrelated psychosexual factors: sexual identity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexual behavior. These factors affect personality, growth, development, and functioning. Sexuality is something more than physical sex, coital or noncoital, and something less than all behaviors directed toward attaining pleasure.

Sexual identity is the pattern of a person’s biological sexual characteristics: chromosomes, external genitalia, internal genitalia, hormonal composition, gonads, and secondary sex characteristics. In normal development, these characteristics form a cohesive pattern that leaves a person in no doubt about his or her sex. Gender identity is a person’s sense of maleness or femaleness. Sexual identity and gender identity are interactive. Genetic influences and hormones affect behavior and the environment affects hormonal production and gene expression.

By 2 to 3 years of age, almost everyone has a firm conviction that “I am male” or “I am female.” Yet, even if maleness and femaleness develop normally, persons must still develop a sense of masculinity or femininity.

Gender identity, according to Robert Stoller, “connotes psychological aspects of behavior related to masculinity and femininity.” He considers gender social and sex biological: “Most often the two are relatively congruent, that is, males tend to be manly and females womanly.” But sex and gender can develop in conflicting or even opposite ways.

On my next post. i will be dfferentiating Gender Role and Sexual Orientation.

OMG! October for me was crazy, busy, and lazy to blog and stuff. I would like to apologize to the entire Blogosphere for being inactive for the past month. Now, I would like to start November with Lemon our New pet!

I really do not know what came into my boyfriend because he suddenly got hooked with dogs and he couldn’t stop talking about it.. literally… like a broken plaque record. He then decided to get himself a Shih Tzu. There are so many things and other priorities to think about but who am I to go against him. Well, I gave him my permission to buy Lemon with all the papers and stuff. We fetched Lemon at the mall and I was surprised to see how small and beautiful she was.

At home, she started playing and biting everyone’s feet. I guess she’s teething. One problem aside from the biting and ruining of stuff is the pee and poop! Right now she’s still in the process of bowel and bladder training. Another thing that she does is cry in the middle of the night like a little baby. Of course, our sleep is disturbed but we have no choice but to go out and play with her for a while (in the middle of th enight… sheeesh!) until she gets tired and sleeps.

Having a dog entails a lot of responsibility so you better think a lot before getting yourself one!

Here’s the adorable little critter…

It’s been a long while since I last added a new post. Well I’m back and I wanna thank those who had the neurons to remember to greet me on my birthday! w00t!

Here are some of the things I’ve done on my birthday:

- Went to the church. prayed the rosary. crying while doing it.

- Toured the mall alone and ate at SM Baguio Pizza hut (the service was really good)

- watched the “ITALY” on the big screen. But before that, I had a chat with the lady in the ticket booth. Her name was Bing and she shared some lessons in life I never thought I’d hear within a situation like that. weird.

- Walked down session road

- Coffee

- Home

Happy Birthday to me!

I haven’t really been into some big time crazy death debt race but I, well, have experienced some minor debt problems before. I remember when I borrowe money to add to the money I saved so that I could buy a new cellphone. I was able to buy the damn phone yet I had diffulty finding a way to pay th debt that I was into. I attempted to find ways to get money from another source yet more problems were coming my way causing me to become neurotic that time. Honestly, I really don’t want to think about it but the bottomline of my debt story is that I asked my my mom to pay it and that was the end of it. Back there, I felt like I have experienced an ultimate Bankruptcy and that I think is really aweful. Next time, I must think wisely before making crazy debts and foresee my capability to pay it in the future.

I know that I m not that old yet but right now I have realized the great importance of my family since I am away. I was thinking lately that when I am gone, I must be able to atleast give them a great deal of benefits in order to enjoy and experience a lot of things and help them with, of course, the grieving process. Hahaha! Hey I am not dying yet you mongrels! What I am talking about is that it is really important to leave our family something behind through a universal life insurance. Now this insurance is not just a piece of paper but will actually be the key to so many doors after your death or a death of any loved one.

The company also offers mortgage insurance to protect your homes and mortgage protection insurance, including of course life insurance to give us benefits after retirement and of course mortgage disability insurance. These programs is a great opportunity for anybody to put things in the right monetary perspective.
