you're too good for her

I saw an article that read Top 10: Signs You're Too Good for Her, and because I had a good laugh out of it, I am sharing the ones I liked.

No.10 - You're always dumbing down conversations around her

And it's not just her -- it's her entire social universe. Her friends, her family and her coworkers all seem to have an extremely limited vocabulary, one that contains more four-letter expletives than a U.S. Army boot camp. If your cat can match her wit, it’s one of the signs you’re too good for her.

No.9 - She f*cks like a porn star

Sure, we all have those fantasies, but if your woman is taking you into uncharted territory that has serious repercussions for personal safety, there's a good chance it's a sign you're too good for her. No limits or boundaries in the intimate sphere means serious problems with self-respect and control in general. Sure the sex will be mind-blowing, but you’ll never know where she’s been or even how she learned her maneuvers, which can only mean one thing…

No.3 - She is devoid of natural curiosity

The universe is a strange and mysterious place. Every day you come across phenomena that nearly cry out for further explanation. At least you thought so, until you met your current girlfriend. If you've been together for a while and you've never heard her mention travel or a book she has read, you're in trouble. Conversations based upon first-hand experience from your day are both powerfully limiting and dull.

No.1 - Her best asset is her looks

Relationships are a growing concern. You're supposed to find other qualities that endear her to you beyond the initial physical attraction. If you haven't found anything like that and in fact have found many qualities that the good looks are covering up for, then you're too good for her. You need to move on and find someone else. If you don't, you're selling yourself short. Strike out in a new direction and find someone who is both physically attractive as well as your equal or better in the other 98% of life.

marketing

It was my first time to go to a Malay--or Muslim Market today. I am not sure what to call the market but I was advised by my local companions that the market was put up in lieu of the Hari Raya.

It was too bad that my Malaysian colleague was not able to make it, it would have made bargaining so much better. Oh well, maybe next year.

The street food was not bad although I admit that I was a bit cautious as I can't shake off the thought of the poisoned rojak. I think most of the vendors felt the same way though, there was not one rojak stall in sight.

I am glad that I went despite the fact that I had a slight fever all day.

lucubration

Lucubration is dictionary.com's word of the day. It means laborious work, study, thought, etc., especially at night.

While this is handy when playing Scrabble or Bookworm, I don't think I will be using this word much. Think mastication (chewing).

Unless of course, I'm a certain BOY blogger. Thanks Camille for sending :)

oh my love

I was reorganising the songs in my iPod, so I decided to listen to a couple of full albums. Let me enumerate:

1. Coldplay Singles 1999 - 2008
2. Duffy Rockferry
3. James Morrison Undiscovered

I am suddenly feeling very melancholy. Somebody save me. Hahahaha.

(Blog entry title to commemorate Patrick Swayze's cinematic moment that was Ghost. RIP.)

last round

When all was done with on our Friday night, I looked forward to going home. After all, it was not only a very long week for me but also a terribly long day at work.

I was sure I had more than enough--food, drinks and babblings.

Imagine my surprise (and delight) when one of us came out of the convenient store with four bottles of Snapple and started distributing. Incidentally, I got my favorite variant.

It was, as he said--the last round.

While I had been steering away from this stuff as I'd rather save the sugar intake for other drinks--or food, it was a welcomed gesture.

Quite nostalgic, the taste reminds me of my bum days spent with my best friends, the twins and other friends from high school.

same time LAST year

I know that it isn't about me but, just maybe there are bits that resonate last year's news.

To get to the point, I would just like to express my happiness brought about by your decision.

I know, you think I am biased. And that I didn't really recognize your latter. The truth is, I thought it was high time for you to be. Without worry, without restriction, without guilt, without hesitation, be. BE.

And now you can :)

missing N

I remember writing a blog about using alanga naman, instead of alangaN naman for the longest time. Which quite frankly was stupid, as there is no such word as alanga in Tagalog. Alangan on the other hand means not quite right, awkward or not without doubt, depending on how it is used.

Why am I writing about this? Because a certain someone reminded me that I used to say it wrong and that it seems like that entry is lost. I wanted to say "ALANGAN naman na-erase by itself?", but I have reached that point wherein I choose my battles.
