‎”THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.) Reblog this!

  
It seems that alot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not many people know how to take care of themselves when faced with such a
situation. Everyone should read this especially each n every girl in this world. THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONG…

FYI - Through a rapist’s eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:



1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle.
They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] 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.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

———————————————————————————————————————————-

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:


1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk:
can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

 
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would 
not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and
armpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our
instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using
much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel
little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

——————————————————————————————————————————-

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be some, where you will go “hmm I must remember that” After reading forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.


1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or
purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
 

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be
hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you! u are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
 

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
  

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

Rabung

My mom buys vegetables every other morning from a man who sells vegetables in a cart. She has become a regular customer, and every time the vegetable man would pass along our street, he would shout, “ma’am, gulay!” and i would assume that “ma’am” refers to my mother.

This morning she bought bamboo shoots (labong in tagalog, rabung in Ilocano), which she would cook into dinengdeng (vegetable stew, if I am not mistaken), an Ilocano dish which main ingredients are any vegetables, fish sauce, water, and pieces of meat or dried fish. You need to have talent of course to know which vegetables would taste better if combined with other vegetables. 

Anyway, when she bought bamboo shoots, she asked me if I got tired of it, and I said, not really. I have always loved vegetables, especially my mom’s cooking. But there’s something about bamboo sprouts that brings back memories.

When I graduated high school, life was tough for our family, my brother and sister had to go to Manila and I was left with my younger brother and parents in the province to stop schooling for a year. We were having financial shortages, so to save money, my mom would pick any vegetable that grows in our yard and would buy the cheapest vegetable in the market; the vegetable in season would be the cheapest because of its abundance, of course. And there was a time when everyday we would have bamboo shoot vegetable stew because it was cheap. Just some sweet potato, some dried fish, fish sauce, water, and the bamboo shoots with some saluyot leaves will do for the whole day.

So she was joking this morning about that. hahahaha. No. I still love bamboo shoots.

Most Practical Thing I have Ever Seen… Always wear clean undies!

How to memorize a long chain of numbers by mnemonics

So my love and I were bored and decided to memorize our TIN numbers and SSS numbers using mnemonics. :) This is how we did it.

1. Memorize these number-sound equivalents

1=T (To help you remember, T is written with 1 stroke downward)

2=N (N has 2 strokes downward)

3=M (M has 3 strokes downward)

4=R (R is the 4th letter of fouR)

5=L (L is roman numeral for 50)

6=G (6 looks like G)

7=K (or C pronounced as K, the angle of 7 looks like K)

8=F (the cursive letter “f” looks like 8)

9=B (9 looks like “b” when upside down)

0=S (this should be Z for Zero, but we’ll change it to S because it’s a more common letter in words, hahaha, they sound alike in a way anyway)

To make memorizing these easier, memorize a mnemonic for it: TeN MoRe LoGiC FiBS. Ignore the vowels, and each consonant represents a number, in order from 1 to 0.

2. It is easier to memorize concrete objects than abstract ones such as numbers, so make them concrete using your imagination. My TIN number is 3420653225, so we will make images using the above mnemonics. We came up with this:

3420 = MR. NoSe

6532 = GLue MaN

25 = NaiL

Remember: ignore the vowels and remember the consonants (also with this mnemonic for numbers, it’s the sound of the consonant that counts, so that NiCe would be equivalent to 20 and not 27).

3. Create a bizarre story from the images. The weirder the story or series of images, the more the memories will haunt you, even after how many years would pass. haha. just remember the weird images and story. For my TIN number, we came up with this (remember to think in concrete images and not with words):

MR. NoSe (a giant nose with a mustache, a hat, and a cane) was walking when he bumped into GLue Man (a giant bottle of glue with the same attire) and they stepped on a NaiL.

hahaha

That’s how easy it is. you can memorize a long chain of numbers using this. If you are expert enough, you can memorize a chain of numbers upon hearing it on the spot, depending on how fast you come up with images and how you imagine things and make concrete stories out of them. Just a little exercise will do, I guess. :)

So these images will haunt you forever, and so will my tin, that is, if you remember TeN MoRe LoGiC FiBS.

:)

(The mnemonic TeN MoRe LoGiC FiBS came from the book “How To DeveLop A Super Power Memory,” if i remember correctly. LOL)
