Saya Tak Nak Jadi Hipokrit

About two weeks ago when watching Melodi I saw this young Muslim actress wearing a dress that exposed her shoulders. When the reporter ask her about the way she was dressed she replied ' Saya tak nak jadi hipokrit'.

Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines the word hypocrite as follow:

1. a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion
2. a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings

Does her excuse for not wanting to be a hypocrite warrant her the right to expose her 'aurat'?

Am I a hypocrite for trying to be discreet in my sexual preference and at the same time being a Muslim?

I've been reading a blog belonging to a person who I used to work for...well, I actually have never worked for him, more for his colleagues and I think I have never spoken to him more than 3 minutes. This person was a bit on the chubby side but he has a very pleasant personality. Based on his Facebook photos he seems to have lost some weight. Recently I got to know that he had his right leg (below the knee) amputated because of diabetes. To say I was shocked is not completely true. Indeed I was shocked but more because this person is still young. He's only 33. He posted pictures of the gradual changes that happened to first his 'small' toe than to his entire right leg. Did not gross me out at all, in fact I like looking at such pictures. According to the title of one of his entries, he wrote 'Challenged but Definitely not Defeated'. He indeed has the right spirit.

On an unrelated incident, today I fried two eggs and partly two of my fingers. Adoi
