Today I watched "The Ugly Truth". Gerard Butler *drools*
So the movie is about how women are mellow-dramatic, control-freaks who find guys based on a checklist of suitable "traits" (which is wrong btw) and men are visual beings who will be sidetracked by any girl in the skimpiest possible outfit, think only about sex and are driven on lust and apparently incapable (or choose to be) of "seemingly-gay" feelings of L.O.V.E (which based on the movie, is how guys are structured, so girls, accept!).
Forget what i think about it [for a moment ;)]
The Evolutionary Theory (Eagly & Wood, 2002) says that men and women differ psychologically; because of the different social roles they occupy. And due to this inherent differences, they have different things to look for when selecting a partner. While both women and men are interested in physical looks of their partners, since women are often given the role of bearing and nurturing, they tend to have a checklist consisting of "traits" such as socio-economic stability etc to ensure the survival and well-being of their off-springs. Whereas men, are less interested in these "meaningless" tasks and can go on to impregnate women after women on the basis of their lusty nature (it's not coming from me-blame it on the movie!)
NOTE: Theories are just that..Theories. They aren't proved, but for arguments sake lets just accept it as truth.
So now i'm (here we go! :p) thinking, if women have to accept how men are, why can't men accept women the way they are? It's the same kan? Men want sex, women want security (which often comes in the form of money), We have something they want, and they have something we need. Win-Win! The check-list is merely a memory-aid, even without it physically being represented on paper and ink, we have it etched and drilled in our minds.
And that ladies and gentlemen is ~ZE UGLY TRUTH~ So guys accept that! Happy Days!
p/s: Be it Indian or Western movies, the guy sleeping around is regarded as funny, adorable, and acceptable even, but the leading ladies are always saving themselves (indirectly) for the leading men. It'll be really refreshing to see a dose of sexual liberty for women without degrading them to being whores or sluts or morally lost. Movie makers take note! ;)
seriously, how hard is it to rub on the waxing cream and have smooth silky legs in a matter of minutes? too long for you? there's always the razor. It's very unflattering and since none of us are Julian Roberts, the "going-natural" thing will NOT work. heck! she gets away without wearing deodorant.
and i understand that sometimes we are just plain lazy to shave or wax. which is totally fine. Then opt for jeans, cargo or stirrups instead of shorts, minies and dresses. If you can't afford to shave your legs its understandable la, but if you can afford an inch of make up everyday then you sure as hell can afford waxing products/ razors.
Last time when I used to take the train often, I see really attractive girls, all polished and groomed till you get to the lower half and you see thick-hair all over their legs- yes! they're in skirts. My heart goes out to them, betul-betul heart-ache tau. and as if that's not enough, others go for pedi and take pictures to post on FB. OK fine. BUT why on earth do you show off the hairy legs as well? It makes the picture look as if a guy went for pedi- a guy with flowers on his toes?- *faints*
Maybe your confidence level is higher than mine, maybe I'm too E!-influenced, maybe that's the new in-thing, maybe it's none of my business..., WTH! I still DON"T like UNSHAVEN LEGS!
Its 0030 on my K530i and I'm still feeling as full to the brim as I did hours ago.
It all started at 6 something when I was getting ready to go for dinner with a friend. I first decided on wearing a black and red blouse with boot-cut jeans, then i opted for skinny jeans with a blue and cream colored empire waisted blouse, next I thought lose the blouse, and got into a white chiffon blouse with a black clincher. Still, I'm not happy. I get into a navy-blue blouse. No. Revert to first option. Yes.
Then the hair, first all loose, a pony-tail, then a bun, then all loose again this time with moose, up, down, up, down. Down. Now that's settled, make up's a breeze.
So now you think I'm going out on a date kan? Nope. I met Sheryn (who is a girl btw).
Yes I know. I'm weird like that. I have been couped at home so long that I will jump at any opportunity to play dress-up =)
We went to ChatMasala, Brickfields. We ate, Cheese Kofta, Chicken Manchurian (vegetarian of cause) and I had Aloo Paratha (potato stuffed chapathi). As if that wasn't enough, we had to come back to Maduras and have Nescafe. I knew I should have just taken a Dosa or plain ol chapathi. Haiz!
Now i'll just go and read some no-brainer book (read: Mills & Boons) till I can sleep.
I'm NOT a car person. So you can imagine how I would have dragged myself to visit a couple of show rooms along Federal Highway with the Uncle, Aunt and automobile-crazy cousin. Sheesh!
The Holy Shrine for car lovers- Big and Small, Old and Young.
and the whole time I'm thinking how many third world countries can feed off this car. :p Overrated la.
As if that's not enough, we have to walk over the next building and see rows and rows of imported cars. Window-shopping for cars?? I mean if you wanna buy it, I can understand la. Well but who am I to comment? I walk hours to find one dress and after that decide nothing in the whole building is to my liking *shrug*
The best part of the whole car-gazing exercise? They had food. and not any food, sugary icing-topped butter cupcakes :)
The FTB (Forgot-to-blog) & busy weekend when the Uncle was here:
My love for Asian food and hawt! (Red & Black) deco satiated in Vietnam Kitchen =)
My house is gonna have this deco in at least one room..Have i mentioned HOTTT?!
Part of the cam-whoring clan:
The Uncle and Aunt: Take 1
The Uncle and Aunt : Blast from the Past pose; Take 2
My Uncle n Me: Take 1 (and 1 only) As you can see, my hair is bordering that of a lion's mane, so I shall spare myself the heartache of having it pixelated. No more pics for me. =_=
Uncle n Shaailu: Take 1 guess it's true, the apple doesn't fall far :P
Uncle n Shaailu: Take 2
Food was good, the service.....*explain to me again the rationale of hiring waiters who can't communicate well?* *hits head*
p/s: Jasbir Sidhu is officially off the list of "orang menganggur". :)))
This song brings back so many memories of balik kampung when i was younger. I think i like it cause it's so simple and plain but sweet in its own way. I don't have a kampung anymore, but I still feel the same knowing I'm meeting my family after a long time, especially in the hype of forthcoming festivals.
Perjalanan jauh tak ku rasa Kerna hati ku melonjak sama Ingin berjumpa sanak saudara Yang selalu bermain di mata
Nun menghijau gunung ladang dan rimba Langit nan tinggi bertambah birunya Deru angin turut sama berlagu Semuanya bagaikan turut gembira
Balik kampung oh oh…( 3X ) Hati girang Ho ho… Balik kampung (3X) Hati girang
Terbayang wajah-wajah yang ku sayang Satu-satu tersemat di kalbu Pasti terubat rindu di hati Menyambut kepulangan ku nanti
Perjalanan jauh tak ku rasa Kerna hati ku melonjak sama Ingin berjumpa sanak saudara Yang selalu bermain di mata
Nun menghijau gunung ladang dan rimba Langit nan tinggi bertambah birunya Deru angin turut sama berlagu Semuanya bagaikan turut gembira
Balik kampung oh oh…( 3X ) Hati girang Ho ho… Balik kampung (3X) Hati girang
Terbayang wajah-wajah yang ku sayang Satu-satu tersemat di kalbu Pasti terubat rindu di hati Menyambut kepulangan ku nanti
