Stayed home today.

Guess what kinda shit I found the other day?

Of all my life, 15 years of my beautiful life and beyond, I have never expected this. Of all contraptions in this god forsaken world... this idea comes around the corner of some over-imaginative mind.

At this moment, my emotions need to be sorted out about this.

Pros:

1. If you ever find yourself stranded in the middle of nowhere with no public toilets in sight, this will come very much in handy.

2. Stuck in a traffic? Boys can relief into a plastic bottle. Girls? They NOW can relief into a plastic bottle with the help of the P-Mate.

3. Shopping during a Mega Sale in a mall so crowded, it will take AGES for you to inch and elbow your way to the toilet only to find your tiny bladder has to endure more 'holding it in' while you wait in that never ending line? Now, you can finish your business outside, for example, the parking lot, walk back in and buy that to-die-for dress for only half the price!

Cons:

1. If you're on a date in a crowded restaurant with a not so clean toilet because you're boyfriend/date is too much of a douche bag to bring you somewhere classier, you can pull out your trusty P-Mate. Besides, who will enjoy a date if their bladder is screaming out at them? Thing is, if you're boyfriend finds you peeing while you are standing up...

He will have to leave you at the restaurant with the bill and go home to tell his mother that the girl he's been crushing on for months... is actually a man.

2. Say, you're at prom. Of course, no girl would want to carry a huge ass bag to prom, right? So they bring their cute sparkly clutches. How would the P-Mate fit in that? Improvise- you fold it.

Half way through the party, you realize you had one too many cups of punch and you desperately need to use the little girls room. The line is long because all the other girls need to do their primping for their 'first kiss', 'first dance', 'first prom queen moment' etc. etc.

Walk outside. You pull out your life (and bladder) saving P-Mate and start releasing. OH NO! Because you have folded the P-Mate that is made of paper and you have not been careful about people sitting on your sparkly clutch while you mingle with the hot dudes, they have HOLES in it! But too late, you already started peeing and your yellow liquid got on your hands and ruined your dress. :(

You were voted Prom Queen that night.

3. You're outside playing catch with your little brother. Your strained bladder sends an alarm call to your brain but you realize your house is too far away to leave your little brother alone with his sad ball. So you take your P-Mate out.

Brother: What's that?

You: My artificial penis.

You start peeing at some dark corner of the park where the trees will cover you from embarrassment. But what you didn't know is that while you're peeing, your brother was watching you because he's baffled by what an 'artificial penis' meant. You go home and your little brother announces to your family that you pee-ed with your fake penis. You father glares at you. Your mother brings you into 'the room' where only important talks and discussions among the family are held. She gives you lecture on exposing your innocent little brother to such unhealthy environments.

You're grounded for a year.

Should have just walked home and pee huh?

SEE HOW IT DAMAGES YOUR LIFE MORE THAN DO YOU GOOD? Just kidding. Okay okay I kinda got carried away writing the Cons. Still, anything can happen. :D

Talking about peeing, have you ever shuddered after you yellow your toilet water? Ever since I was young, I had the 'pee shivers'. So, just yesterday night, I shivered right after I pee-ed.

'Still there.' I decided to get to the bottom of this mysterious pee shivering condition.

So I asked Rachel about it. Luckily for us, we had Google! Here's a way to sum up what we found: -

One theory is that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the cause. When you have to pee you hold it in, the longer you wait the tougher it is to hold in. You ANS is sending the signals to your bladder and urethral sphincter to hold that pee in at all costs, when you finally do pee, your ANS allows the relaxation of the urethral sphincter and the flow to begin. This switch in the ANS is thought to be the cause of the shudder or pee shiver. The longer you hold it in the greater the pee shiver will be.

Note : If you don't know what your Autonomic Nervous System is, you should jump off a building. No, I'm just kidding. It controls your involuntary muscles, like your heart.

And here's a fun note. Well it's not exactly fun but it's funny:

This phenomenon can be a real health problem for some men: They can pass out at the urinal when their autonomic system cues a drop in blood pressure!

I feel sorry for any poor bastard that passes out in front of the urinal in the men's bathroom. Damn.

I'm starving. Time for lunch.

Till then.
