Month: June 2006

xes and i were having a little discussion earlier about whether so and so was pretty or not. he declared that women/girls have horrendous taste, compared to men/guys. he’ll tell me that this girl is sweet and cute, i’ll tell him she’s just plain and no big deal, too ah-lian for words. i tell him that another girl is pretty and sweet-looking, he tells me she’s not. (but occasionally, we do come to an agreement. ;P)
he tells me that men have superior taste when it comes to women. the statement of fact about women having a bad sense of judging is uncalled for. where is his evidence?? he tells me to blog and check out your response.
i wish i could just grab some photos of those ah lian or plain looking ones he liked, and put them up here. hehe, but fear of a lawsuit keeps us cautious. therefore, let’s look at FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women 2006 instead.

do we both agree she’s looking damn hot here? ;P
and who the hell voted Paris Hilton, man… euw. so not sexy. Jenny McCarthy and Teri Hatcher are a bit too old already. i cannot stand Mischa Barton, yuck.
hmm… i think women tend to judge beauty and personality as a package when it comes to attraction. and looking at women is more fun than looking at men, don’t ask me why. from head to toe, from make up to accessories and VPL and orange peel skin … ;P

when i was in primary 5, one of my girlfriends urgently left in the middle of class and took forever to return. whispers went around the classroom and everyone pointed at her chair. i too, looked at her chair, and it was bloody like hell. i got excited and couldn’t wait to go home and tell my mum about the drama.
“ma! my friend almost bled to death today! her chair was so bloody!”
hmm, gosh, i was such a busybody! my mum had to calm me down and tell me it was that ‘thing‘ she will soon tell me about. which she did, “one day you will start bleeding from down there. and you will have to start wearing pads.”
when it came, i didn’t even know it was my period. imagine that, i was such an idiot. hehe. i just told her i was wiping my bum and suddenly there was blood. of course, my mum checked to see if i had some weird infection in my bum hole, but it was actually my period. wrong place, ooops. yuck.
as i was reading francine pascal‘s sweet valley twins and all at that time, the girls were always anxiously waiting to have their period, to feel like a teenager. to feel all grown up or whatever la. so i told my cousin (who read those books, too) that i got my period. and she asked me how i felt.
heh?
was it such a big deal? i told her, “nothing.” but no, that wasn’t good enough for her. she was excited for me because she hadn’t had hers yet, and kept bugging me, “are you sure?? surely you feel something, like all grown up??”
so i made her happy and changed my answer, “uhmm… yeah, it’s good!”
i was such a liar.
anyway, i received this by email today:

for the full version, read here.
everyone thinks it rubbish. i think so too. but that didn’t stop me from believing my grandma when i was younger, not to wash my hair on the first day of my period or my dark circles will be worse. oh, and really, not to drink sour drinks eat sour stuff AND not to eat or drink anything cold. hehe. ;P
taking evening primrose oil (EPO) as supplements does help to ease the stomach cramps though. ;P
there are so many superstitions that surround this ‘thing‘ and there’s one which i simply cannot understand – refund of pads. if you so happen not to have one if your period comes during school hours and you get one from a friend, you’ll have to give one back to your friend the very next day. you’re not allowed to “owe” your friend pads or some shit like that. a friend even came after me when i forgot to give one in return. sheesh.
weird.

p.s. are you that cute fair chinese guy in black at william’s just now? you looked at me, i looked at you. and then i looked at you again, and then you looked at me again? ;P i wanna ask you out! hehe. ;PpPPp you so cute!!! i was wearing black too. ;P

the girl friends and i have often wondered why do guys take rejection in such a bad way. and so happened a girl friend asked me the same thing a few nights ago, “why can’t we just continue to be friends with the guys after we say no?”
a long time ago (hehe, sorry, grandma story here!) a good friend confessed to me that he was interested in me. his crush developed since high school and right through college. i was shocked, because all this while i had always believed that my good friends are just good friends, we cannot go beyond that. (that’s me, sorry.) and at that time, i had just started seeing someone, so i told him that. but i don’t think i would’ve told him that even if i was not seeing someone, i would not have liked him in ‘that kind of way’.
he walked away from me after i told him that, without looking back. (damn drama, i tell you.) and he never spoke to me for 2 years.
for me, the hardest thing is losing a good friend. and i really hate it when it happens.
so why can’t men remain friends with the girls who rejected them? this is the universal question.
a guy friend told me that it is hard to continue being a good friend with the girl they like right after the rejection. it’s painful, apaprently, to continue as if nothing happened, and suppressing the hurt inside. and the expectation which built up during the friendship makes it difficult. so he had to cut off all ties with the girl, to get on with life.
sheesh, i tell you. there we are, suckers to think that the guy was sweet enough to be good friends with us, so that means all this while, there was an ulterior motive to the friendship?
anyway, my friend just broke some guy’s heart and right after he found out she had a boyfriend, he did what guys usually do to deal with all problems under the sun – got drunk.
so guys, do tell us about ‘your pain’. i’d like to know why foregoing a friendship seems to be the only option to deal with rejection. 😉 and yes, i know this doesn’t apply across the board, but 99% of the guys i know do this kind of shit.
