TANTE M

Brought up by over barring mother, who is unintentionally (or deliberately) brain washing and feeding me with the voice of reason, since I was 3 years old, it gives me privilege to embrace and enjoy life without too much messing it up! Don’t get me wrong guys, I love my mom very deeply and I’m grateful for all of her hard works successfully brain washed me since I was little =)

So when most of the girls were having a hard time undergo the transition realized that there’s no Prince charming and Fairy godmother who are kindly and bravely enough saving Cinderella from the bad witches.

And it turned up that Cindi-fuckin-rella was freeing herself from the bad bitches with the help of Tyra Bank total makeover into independent-strong-well dressed woman who knows exactly what she wants and her right! As the result there are so many of Prince charming out there who just go “gaga” over her.

Of course in the reality Cindi-fuckin-rella and the Prince Charming were not just instantly happily ever after because life it’s full of ups and downs, so they need extra hard work to keep their marriage together! Obviously with the help of several marriage counselors and couple of affairs on the side =)

Since I learned this fact in my early childhood, I could pass my late 20’s smoothly without any major teenage drama, such as: brokenhearted, crisis identity, pregnancy, drugs or alcohols abused! Thanks to you, mom =)

But sometimes, having reasonable thought most of the time could be so tiring and damn boriiiiing….. Feel like living in sterile world!!!! Therefore to release a bit of “my sanity tension” from time to time, I created an alter ego. Well it doesn’t mean I have a crazy split personality though!

Like Superman created Clark Kent character in order to live among the citizens of Metropolis without arousing suspicion or Bruce Wayne created Batman character in order to disguise himself for the purposes of fighting crimes.

I created Tante M as my alter ego in order to get out of my comfort zone and help me dealing with my fears. Basically Tante M is adventurous side of Mika!!!

By having said that “Tante M” loves living in dangerous places, traveling to remote areas, get lost in translation, trying to learn and understand how the world works also daring to speak her minds openly and rationally where Mika character is more soft spoken and not trying to provoke others with what she has in minds.

Tante M character is based on my deeply admiration of Samantha character in Sex and the City. I had to admit that Sex and the City series become my bible to maturity and womanhood since it opens my eyes to different possibilities of embracing my womanhood and speaking my minds out loud.

I admired Samantha’s because of she knows exactly what she wants, how to get what she wants and she never accepted “NO” for the answer! However behind her “wild and firm” surfaces, she’s truly loyal to her friends and someone that her friends could count on. Samantha also has intriguing body language that I found it so classy =)

Of Course like Samantha’s, “Tante M” character is also sassy, classy and fearless lady who doesn’t like settle for less!!!

However unlike Samantha’s who is famous for her appetite to younger man or as a man eater. “Tante M” is more looking for intellectual intercourse and she's an adventure seekers who likes to challenge her-self to be out of her comfort zone and be more truly to her inner selves. Whereas some people need their friends, family, boyfriend, gay-friends, or girlfriends as their emotional safety net.

In order to transform to be Tante M, like Clark Kent has to take off his glasses then ripped out his shirt off or Bruce Wayne go to bat cave and transformed into Batman, I just need to unbutton couple of my shirt, shows a bit of “my hidden asset", let my hairs down, walk straight with my chin held high then lets the adrenalin rushes and kick in all over my veins and claws … MEAOOWWWW … All of a sudden I felt fabulous and transformed into TANTE M!!!!....

“It’s a cat, it’s a cougar … no, no it’s TANTE M!!!" HAHAHHAHA……
