HAIL TO THE 'CHIKININI' QUEEN!

Expectedly, office goers' existence last weekend went on smoothly amid scandalous preoccupations, hopeless romances and a tragedy. Most of them cried at the hospital when they visited their badly injured colleague. Some cried at the airport as they sent their loved ones for their vacation. Some arrived from their typhoon-wrecked holiday. Some shopped for their future husbands. Some met and watched a movie with their exes. And others went out with their dates in the hopes of building long lasting relationships. But there's one controversial office gal who was busy with one thing the whole weekend. As part of her ceiling-cleaning weekend ritual, she was agressively planting and receiving kissmarks from her young, energetic lover to the chagrin of her spinster neighbors.

From a conservative parlance, a kissmark also known as 'chikinini' in pinoy slang, especially if stamped deliberately in the neck, is the paramount symbol of lust and lewdness. The mark is akin to the scarlet letter of the old puritan days whose wearer was treated as an outcast by the members of the society. Luckily, our office gal dwells in the modern times, so instead of hiding her countless chikininis she can actually proudly wear them. In this digital age, a kissmark is a source of pride for the wearer because it affirms her sex appeal and healthy libido. Needless to say, big, prominent and innumerable kissmarks echo a healthy sex life.

Could this be the reason why our office gal continuously flaunts her chikinini to her stunned friends and colleagues?

Amateur symbologist slash psychologist, Lady V, offers a rather interesting interpretation of the marks. "Kissmarks aren't just put there as a result of heightened lovemaking or passion. They are planted for practical purposes especially for a budding relationship which is still very fragile. The concerned lovers find ways to remind each other on how much they love each other if they are temporarily separated. That's why I am not all surprised to see prominent, gargantuan kismarks on my friend's neck down to her cleavage. I am aware of her boyfriend's imminent vacation. I thought her incessant crying a week prior to her bf's departure was her means to cope with his absence, she was in fact more creative and resourceful than I thought!"

Kissmarks don't last. Their life span usually depends on the complexion of the wearer. As our concerned office gal has fair complexion, her current favorite accesory is expected to last 7days on average. Will she able to survive the remaining days of her boyfriend's absence when there's no more reminder to count on? I can clearly smell infidelity in the air office gals? Let's join together in watching this girl in her battle with temptations.
