i am probably the only person on this side of the earth that gets worked up listening to "love the way you lie"
i mean it's a great song if you don't listen to the lyrics or watch the video.
yea it's true abusive/dysfunctional relationships exist but the song in a way is like saying "hey, it's fine. don't bother to try to get yourself out of that relationship because you can't"
i know at least 100 people who would disagree with me and say that the song is putting these types of relationships out there. partially or maybe barely partially true.
yes i am a party pooper.

i will miss you, sal.
i really find it hard to understand why people are so obsessed about carrie bradshaw. i've never watched a single episode of it until recently.
by relying on thousands of women wanting to be like her and dress like her and also several cultural references to the character, i would think that she's what every woman wants to be i.e. independent,successful, "stylish" and so on.
however, this is not true. well..at least to me it isn't.
i've not completed watching all the 6 seasons but it's pretty clear that carrie says that she has no idea about men or so she claims.
her words are usually along the line of "men are confusing and they're the problem"
however, i feel that it's pretty obvious that she IS the problem in all her relationships. she's the reason mr. big and aiden both left her the 1st and 2nd time (or maybe more)
even in sex and the city 2 she managed to jeopardise her marriage by kissing aiden.
anyway, it puzzles me also that woman want to be like her. i may be saying this because i watch episodes back-to-back so her voice does become annoying and the things she does seem stupid but it's still mostly true.
so far, carrie can't cut mr. big out of her life although he is obviously bad news. this is apparently the main plot in all seasons i suppose because there will be that one stupid episode each season where she's in another relationship and then big shows up and then she's confused blablabla...
hence, what i have gathered from all my unorganised blabbering is that woman should not try to shape themselves to be carrie.
maybe try miranda.

mellencamp for yer melon.
the floral trend needs to retire..now.
seriously, i now see people in floral jumpsuits. yes..jumpsuits. jumpsuits are like to me quite hard to swallow since it makes your butt look huge no matter what size you are.
that's the thing about consumer trends (at least the ones that catch on) that bugs me. they love to integrate the trend into everything and suddenly you walk into a store and everything is in floral print and then everyone starts wearing floral prints then it hurts my eyes.
then i go on to see 7 people wearing the same dorothy perkins/topshop floral dress at the same place.
and then you have other kinds of "trends" like the leotard. omg. where do i even start?
leotards should only be worn by lady gaga, beyonce and ballerinas. period.
i don't even know why they sell them in the first place because where on earth are you going to wear your stupid leotard? maybe a lady gaga concert so people can grope your butt.
the thing is people who buy a leotard usually use with a skirt/any sort of bottoms which defeats the purpose of even wasting money on it since you can just wear a top and no one would know the difference.
people need to learn especially people here that just because it's from topshop doesn't mean it automatically looks cool. it doesn't most of the time. jc.

brown paper white paper
it drives me nuts when intelligent girls seem to only want to talk about boyfriends, ex-boyfriends, guys. i can't take it.
i really needed to say this.
if i were to elaborate i would be saying a lot of things i don't mean. well actually, when i am mad i usually say things i mean. i don't know if it's only me but if it is then why do people say that line all the time?
i mean when we are with people or friends we usually never say mean things to them to their face.
hence, when an argument is being played out and rage is in the air, it would only be normal that we say things we really mean. it's like a 'slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind' thing.then again people usually whip out that line to justify what they have said. why should we feel guilty for saying something we mean if it's the fact or how we feel? after all isn't truth what everyone wants from everyone.
i guess you could say anger is like alcohol where when there is too much, the truth will come out.
needless to say, it should be expected of me to twitch or roll my eyes whenever i hear that line.
