Prince of Persia Review

I just want to say this is an entertaining movie. I'll give it 7 out of 10 stars. There are a lot of fighting scenes and the actors all carry their role well. Even the storyline seems to be interesting, not your typical happy ending although it's still happy ending.

The special effects is probably not that great since i can see a little bit of fakeness with it but it's still good.

But i don't understand why some of the reviews want to comment this movie is entertaining but doesn't require intellect? I mean, this kind of game adaptation movie doesn't really require intellect. It's meant for you to enjoy the action and whatever 'specialty' of the movie. There's no intellect to Harry Potter or Iron Man either, or any superhero kind of movie. Of course there's a moral to be told for any movies. Like Prince of Persia, don't be greedy.

If you want intellect movies, watch dramas or serial killer kind of movies.

Thoughts In My Head - 28th May 2010

1. Woke up this morning feeling de ja vu.

2. Prince of Persia was a good movie. Jake Gyllenhaal is funny. Hot too but not hot enough to make me swoon like Micheal Ballack :L. You know, people can be typically beautiful or handsome but there are some that are "attractive". Attractive doesn't have to be good looking but there's something about that person's personality or particular unique look that makes you attract to them. Like Jake, he's not good looking but i find him attractive. The actor Bradley Cooper is good looking but i don't find him attractive. He reminds me of Hithrik Roshan (Bollywood actor). i don't watch Hindustan movies anymore. Find them irritating now.

3. So many married people are unfit to be married.

4. It's not your problem but you feel frustrated by it because you want justice to be done.

5. People with cheating spouses, are they so ignorant of reality that they fail to see their partner was cheating the whole time? I guess it's true, when you have a problem with your spouse, the best solution is to discuss it with them. But that was also one of the reasons why i broke up with my ex. We had a problem, he told me his problem with me, i acknowledged my flaw. I refused to change so hence, i told him better we break up. He didn't see that as a solution. Well, for me it's a straight forward and reasonable solution. What's the point of being together if that flaw of mine is causing us to argue frequently? Sure he says he will wait for years for me to change but did he ever think if i never change? And while waiting for the change, that flaw will be the cause of every argument. So doing everybody a favour and having the guts to find a solution, break up is the best. Some people seem to remain in relationships for a long time despite being unhappy because they hope and think things will change for the better. That's a risk. Gambling with the fact that your partner will change for the better.

6. Currently i'm still seeing my ex. People may find that weird. Honestly, i don't have an ounce of feelings towards him or intention of getting back to him (people don't believe me because most ex still have feelings for the ex. Not me, when i say i move on, i move on and behave like i move on). I go out with him because he asked me to and plus i'm still single. Of course i have to remind him constantly that no matter what he do, we will not be together. Am i using him? No. When we go out, i still pay some of the stuff. My friend was right when talking to him one day, he told me that when women sometimes pay for her share instead of letting the guy pay the whole thing every time, it gives the woman some kind of power over men, in other words, he's not 100% dominant over her.

7. I LOOOOOOVEEEEEEE GLEE.

8. I need to concentrate more on my studies.

9. I had a weird dream 2 nights ago but i can't remember. It was very weird and meaningless but interesting.

10. England, Brazil and Italy, you will never win World Cup 2010!!! I just need something to make it a 10 :D.

A little lesson on Persia

I think this movie is coming out this week. I planned to watch it. When i first saw the trailer, it didn't look that interesting but after watching few different trailers, it suddenly looked interesting. And i didn't plan on watching it just because Jake Gyllenhaal is acting in it and he looks hot and buff up :Fire :L. He's not one of my favourite actor but when i watched his character in the movie from the trailers, the character seems to be interesting :P.

According to some article, some were not happy at the fact that Gyllenhaal was cast as the Prince of Persia since he's not a Persian. There are so many other movies where the leading actor shouldn't be a white yet he's still a white, another example is the movie The Last Air Bender, i think the boy is suppose to be Chinese and not white. And another very old movie titled "The Conqueror" where Genghis Khan role is played by a White. Critics think these kind of movies are meant to show the white's superiority. They want to be hero in everything.

Personally for me, i don't think that's the case. We all know that Hollywood actors/actresses are far more popular than any other actors from other countries, unless they have already established their names in Hollywood, like Asian actors Jackie Chan and Zhang Ziyi.

Prince of Persia is a Hollywood movie. Do you know any famous Persian actors? Or actors who have Persian heritage and look like a Persian and hence deserving the role of the Prince of Persia more than Gyllenhaal? Nope. It's a norm that a movie is also popular not just because it has great special effects or story line, but also because of the list of actors and actresses in it. Gyllenhaal has many fans, so it's guaranteed that many would want to watch it. If you take some unknown actor despite the fact he might be talented, there's a chance not many people would watch it anyway. Gyllenhaal is a good actor and he worked hard for the role. He may not looked like a Persian but hell, at least he's dark haired and NOT A BLONDE.

Since it seems like as if i don't have any exams just around the corner *sarcasm*, i took the initiative to google up images on how a Persian guy would look like. Before googling, i have the image that they have black wavy hair and tanned skin and of course some Arabian features. But i also came across a pic of the video game of the Prince of Persia.


Mr Gyllanhaal who doesn't look so Persian...


Even in the video game the character don't really look Persian. He looks exactly like how Gyllanhaal looks.


OoooooOo so this is how a Persian guy looks like :L


But nothing is as hot as a Persian meow meow :L :L :L.. not even a half naked naked wet Persian guy

Feedback on previous blog entry

I have another blog but i post the same thing as i post in this current blog. In that other blog, i received a comment from an AMERICAN who has his own view on my previous blog on The Issue With "Everybody Draw Muhammed Day". This was his comment :

The World Trade Center and The Pentagon. And then you wonder why Americans call muslims terrorist. Your religion is based on violence even more than christrian religion. You and the zealots are offended by a CARTOON or a PICTURE. But not the lives and deaths that have come in the name of your god? Well im offended by the attack and murder of more than 2000 INNOCENT Americans on 9/11! In the name of your god!! Whats more offensive the killing of innocent people? I dont expect a reply and im sure you will delete me and this reply im not a religious man but i ask one more time what is more offensive a cartoon or drawing of your god or the senseless killing in the name of that god. Food for thought



And below is my reply :

i'm going to discuss this as diplomatically as i can. What you are doing right now is attacking Islam and other Muslims who are not terrorists. You are blaming the act of a bunch of psychotic muslims (Osama and his people) on the whole Muslims. First of all, do we say Christian is a religion of pedophiles with the high amount of priests fondling young children? NO. The religion isn't bad but it's the people who are bad, so don't attack the religion but attack the people committing the offence. It isn't fair for you to call my religion a religion of violence just because a bunch of people decide to go psycho on USA. You think many innocent Americans died on 9/11? What about all the innocent civilians killed by American soldiers in wars which America seem to be so actively participate in? Do we hate all the Americans? Do we hate Christian? No. We hate US government and their war policies. A murder who kill 20 people can claim he received orders from God to kill them. Do you blame God? Do you blame that religion for making him kill those 20 people? NO. You blame that murderer alone. Those physcho Muslims can claim they kill in the name of religion, and you actually believe it? For all u know it can be for political reasons. You want to kill Osama and people like him, go ahead because in the first place, i never believe he was fighting in the name of God. But don't ever attack on Islam just because of few mentally retarded people who go around misusing our religion's name. But nooooo, since that incident, everyone wants to bitched about Islam and other Muslims, giving us names, making fun of us, provoking us, simply calling us terrorists according to you whims and fancies. do you think that's fair?



P/s : why did i post it? to share people's view. My intention is to try to make people realize that Islam is not a religion of terror that enjoys terrorizing people. Although I'm not religious, but it hurts me when people say untrue things about my religion. And for some radical Muslims out there, rethink your method in dealing with people who try to destroy Islam. Don't just resort to violence and curses.

The issue with "Everybody Draw Muhammed Day"




Above is a picture of a cartoon poster drawn by Molly Norris. I'll briefly explain how "Everybody Draw Muhammed Day" arise. actually, i don't need to brief it since it was explained at the top of the poster which reads :


in light of recent "veiled"(ha!) threats aimed at the creators of television show South Park (for depicting the prophet Muhammed in a bear suit)...



That's part of it. What most non Muslims don't understand about Islam is that we Muslims only worship one God and that's Allah. We don't worship Prophet Muhammad but we acknowledged him as a prophet and we respect him as a prophet. Why we don't depict Mohammed in any human forms (what more in animal cartoons) is that some fanatics may worship him. The moment you depict something in some form, some may use it as a symbol of worshiping. Even now some super fanatic followers of Prophet Muhammed behave as if they are worshiping him, which is totally wrong. Some want to follow exactly what Muhammed do or wear. I mean of course you can follow the good things but certain things are unnecessary and doesn't accommodate to the Malaysia lifestyle. Some say they want to keep beard because Prophet Muhammed has one, and it was a secondary schoolboy who says this and under school discipline, you can't have one. So now you see the logic of not depicting Prophet Muhammed in any form? It's to prevent worshiping of him.

And depicting him in an animal form (like South Park depicting him as a bear) is totally disrespectful. South Park is infamous for degrading other religions too. You can make fun of celebrities, sports stars and politicians but kindly don't make fun of religion.

I took this from Wikipedia which discusses on this matter :


Norris said that if millions of people draw pictures of Muhammad, Islamist terrorists would not be able to murder them all, and threats to do so would become unrealistic. Within a week, Norris' idea became popular on Facebook, was supported by numerous bloggers, and generated coverage on the blog websites of major U.S. newspapers.


People really LOVE provoking Muslims. Calling Muslims terrorists. Then what do you call people who don't respect other people's religion? Assholes? M*therf*ckers? B*tches? B*stards? Sometimes i wonder if you can show this much disrespect to other people's religion, i wonder whether you ever have any respect for yourself?

In the first place, is it so hard for you people to respect the Muslims' requirement not to make fun of our religion? Or not to do something which we are against? Why can't you leave us alone? Can't you make jokes not involving Muslims or anything associated with Muslims?


Another extract :


Norris stated on her website: "This was always a drawing about rights, never MEANT to disrespect religion. Alas -- if we don't have rights, we will not be able to practice the religion of our choice. [...] None of these little characters ARE the likeness of Mohammed, they are just CLAIMING to be!" She also wrote, "I, the cartoonist, NEVER launched a draw Mohammed day. It is, in this FICTIONAL poster sponsored by this FICTIONAL GROUP", referring to the "Citizens Against Citizens Against Humor" wording in the cartoon. "SATIRE about a CURRENT EVENT, people!!! (That's what cartoonist's [sic] do!)"


Until when will people ever understand that when you practice certain rights, it comes with limitation and that limitation requires respect to other rights? I think the cartoonist thinks she damn F*cking funny. You have the right to your own religion but i have a right for my religion to be respected too. Be careful with what you draw, it may give ideas to people. Like what is happening currently.

and i find the poster insulting. Yes, maybe i don't have a sense of humor but not everything in life is funny. Some people are just blessed with too much "sick" humor in their genes. Really, sometimes i don't understand how people can make jokes like "i sleep or **** with your mother". It's disgusting and disrespectful no matter if you say it without intention.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

When there are good news, people like to tell. When there are bad news, people like to keep quiet. There's nothing wrong to share good news with people but some people share good news with the intention of SHOWING OFF. How do you know? Sometimes you can just tell by the way the person is telling you of the good news. And because when you know the person is trying to show off, it irritates you. Example of showing off? You can say your daughter is getting married but in addition to that, you added that she's getting married to a rich man or a so called "anak dato". That my dear friends, is showing off in disguise.

Sometimes showing off happens when you tell people a certain info voluntarily without being asked. Then again, whether the person is showing off or is genuinely trying to tell you of something good happening to them, it will depend on the circumstances of the situation. Perhaps when the good news or voluntarily giving info of good news is always frequent, it'll tend to look like showing off.

As for bad news, people don't want to share bad news for the obvious reasons, it's embarrassing and humiliating. Since i'm a student, the common example i can give you is when a person show off she has good results but when her results are bad, she keeps quiet about it. Don't you just hate people who, after finding out her result is good, she goes around calling people and asking what are their results but if her results are bad, she won't call any of her friends because she's afraid her friends will ask her results.

For me, i keep a simple principle, tell when you are asked. But if you want to show off in your social network or blogs, go ahead, it's yours anyway right? And people will only know about it if they bother to read bout it.

Because of an incident when this person thinks that i'm showing off just because i have new things and asked her what she thinks of it, i never bother to ask people's opinion that often any more. Hell, my genuine intention was to ask what she really thinks of the new shoes or clothes that i bought. Not to show off i have a lot of money and can buy it. So right now, if someone noticed that i have something new and asked about it, only then i will further ask what she/he thinks of it.

As for bad things, if something bad happened to me, of course i'll keep quiet but if people ask, i'll answer instead of avoiding people in hopes that i don't have to answer any so called "controversial" questions about my life. I don't see the point of hiding something bad because in the end people will know about it and people will bitched even more since you LIED to them when they inquired to you about it. Hence, don't pretend as if your life is blessed with perfection and show it off to the public while keeping quiet about bad stuff, it'll only give others more reason to attack you. Sometimes what's bad to others you can somehow make it look good for yourself ;-). Of course, if something is personal, you shouldn't tell, be it good or bad.

Islam doesn't support terrorism

Okay my last few blog posts have been kindda religious. Not that i have received some "light" or whatsoever but one thing leads to another, resulting me wanting to defend Islam and how Islam's image have been tarnished with images of terrorism, not thanks to those fanatic jerks who misused Islam for their personal purposes. Some jihads are justified, some aren't.

Enemies of Islam, who are they? Those who want to see the religion disappear, those who bitch bout Islam - saying nasty and untrue stuff about Islam, those who want to see Muslim fight among each other etc. There are some people in this world who love to make fun of religion because he himself doesn't believe in religion. If you don't believe in religion, why do you need to bitched about religion? Either these people have no religion or they are from other religion who simply hate Islam. If you are from another religion, I'm sure your religion didn't tell you to bitch about another religion right?

When people draw degrading pictures of Prophet Muhammad, create videos insulting religion, make comments hurtful about the religion, for me it's unacceptable. If someone bitched about your parent, won't you get upset and you definitely want to punch that person's face right? Someone murder your family member, are you just gonna remain silent? Someone defame you to the extend of destroying your reputation, are you gonna keep quiet and say God will punish them instead of taking defamation action (in court) against them?

People say don't fight fire with fire. If people bitch about you, don't bitch back about them, don't stood to the same level as them. Perhaps if it's a small matter, you don't really have to retaliate but are you gonna keep quiet if it's a big matter?

Some people say Islam support violence and terrorism based on the verses in the Quran. Words, they are powerful and influential tool, thus you need to use them carefully. What people think is violent can be misunderstood for protection. All Allah want is for the religion of Islam to be protected from enemies who have ill intention to the religion. Is it wrong to protect your religion? Punishment is necessary, especially to those who are stubborn.

Example, if your child did something wrong, mere words aren't enough to teach the child a lesson. Sometimes you need to cane him (of course, it must be reasonable caning). You are not equal with your child, you are superior to your child, your child needs to respect you.

Punishment have many purposes, most obvious is to strike fear in you so that you won't repeat it again. Besides that, it's also to tell you what you did is wrong and unacceptable.

For those who bitched about religions, what you do is unacceptable. The drawings and all, it's unacceptable and it's uncivilised and disrespectful. Freedom of speech you say? That's bullshit. Such freedom shouldn't be given 100%. Look at what happened when you give freedom 100% without limitation, people abused it. Make degrading drawings, make stupid and degrading jokes on religion and races and other sensitive matter. You think everything can be made fun of? No.

A verse from the Quran that i like to quote (taken from the English translation) :


47:4 - so when you meet (Jihad in Allah's cause) those who disbelieve, smite (their) necks til when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them - take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (free them without ransom) or random (according to what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allah to continue in carrying out jihad against the disbelievers till they EMBRACE Islam and are saved from punishment in hell fire or at leaast come under your protection], but if it had been Allah's will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you) But (He lets you fight) in order to test some of you with others. But those who are killed in the way of Allah, he will never let their deeds be lost.


I've seen enemies of Islam who just quote the part on killing the enemies of Islam to show how Islam support terrorist without quoting the whole passage. Words are open to interpretation, that's the dangerous part of it. Like here, it mention until they EMBRACE ISLAM - this doesn't mean the non muslim have to convert to Islam. It means they have to accept Islam as a religion and not find faults with it. Islam never force someone to convert to Islam.

Another verse :

8:56 : they are those with whom you made a covenant but they BREAK their covenant every time and they don't fear Allah.

8:57 : so if you gain MASTERY over them in WAR, PUNISH them SEVERELY in order to disperse those who are behind them so they may LEARN A LESSON.

8:58 - if you (O Muhammad)fear TREACHERY from any people throw back (their convenant) to them (so as to be) on equal terms (that there will be no more covenant between you and them). Certainly Allah likes not the treacherous.

8:60 - and make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war (tanks, plans, missiles, artillery) to threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides whom, you may not know but whom Allah does know. And whatever you shall spend in the cause of Allah shall be repaid unto you and you shall not be treated unjustly.

8:61 - but if they incline to peace, you also incline to it, and (put your) trust in Allah verily, He is the All Hearer, the All Knower.


i quote exactly from the quran translation (of course i didn't quote each and every verses if not my blog will be too long). Basically, the to sum it up, this verse justify why jihad is allowed against the non believers. It is only allowed when the non believers become TREACHEROUS, go back on their promise. Purpose? To TEACH THEM A LESSON and they shall be punished SEVERELY (all these are stated in the verses, i didn't make it up).

You see, if this godforsaken world actually practice respect among each other, the Muslims need not have to declare jihad against the non believers. Remember that asshole Theo Van Goh guy? He had it coming for him. We Muslims don't tolerate insults to our religion - end of story. Our action of what you may think of as terrorism is justified. Either the government take action against their people for not respecting religion or Muslims will be glad to it for them.

The Non Muslim who wants to be the syariah lawyer and conversion

I was suppose to be bitching bout my experience with Pos Laju but i'll put that on hold since i'm no longer angry with Pos Laju. I was angry with them during that incident itself and then i finally cooled ddown. Nevertheless, they didn't do they work well and they are lazy! I'm the one who have to go after them.

An interesting issue that came out in the news is about the non muslim who wants to be a syariah lawyer. It was brought to my notice by friends, i didn't even come across the news online. Sorry, there's no tv at my house so i'm not able to watch the news on tv. I didn't know this would be an issue. I mean, you allowed non muslims to study syariah law in universities yet when one wants to practice, you don't allow it?

A friend told me that the reason why they don't allow it is because there are certain verses you need to read from the Al Quran if you practice as a syariah lawyer so you need to be a Muslim to do that. I don't know whether this is accurate since i didn't study syariah law but it doesn't make sense to me.

Syariah law is like any other law but the difference is that it's Islamic law with Islamic punishments. I'm not sure where did they get the syariah law from, was it created from practices since the prophets' time or are the law stated in the Holy book of Quran?

Some people think that non Muslims can't touch or read the Quran. Of course the Al Quran is a holy book and need to be respected but if a non muslims wants to read it to gain knowledge, is that wrong? I'm sure a non muslim syariah lawyer would need to refer to the Al Quran from time to time, and why, is this not permissible and therefore you don't allow them to practice?

Another thing that becomes an issue is that people question her intention of wanting to be a syariah lawyer. Someone told me she does so because she wants to protect the non muslims that are affected by the syariah law. I don't blame her for having such intention although this is INDIRECTLY saying that the muslim syariah lawyers are INCOMPETENT. How are the non muslims affected by the syariah law?

This happens so frequently in matters of conversion. Example, a non muslim couple got married, later the husband converted into muslim SECRETLY. Then later he converted the children into muslim. When the wife finds out, she will be aggrieved. The children also belonged to her, not just to her husband so why should he alone decide what religion the children should practice?

Most Muslims claim the husband has the right to do so and some will just ignore the issue but supporting the convert husband and children silently. They won't voice out what they think because it's a sensitive matter and they will support whatever is good for the Muslims.

I'm a Muslim but i don't simply support Islam if i think it's unfair or wrong. You don't follow things blindly. There's nothing wrong with the religion, it's the people who are wrong. My view on Israel-Palestin? Children and women shouldn't be made suicide bombers and you shouldn't teach children to hate the enemies.

And back to this current issue, i pity the woman because she seems not to have any remedy since it seems that Islamic law or anything that is good to the Muslims should prevail. For me, the solution is simple. An adult can convert to Muslim, it's his choice but he shouldn't convert his children without his wife's consent. We Muslims get so uptight when an ex Muslim wants to convert his children into other religion but we keep quiet when a non Muslim child is converted to Muslim, especially without the other parent's consent.

People create problems and make the religion look bad. I don't agree with the guy converting his children silently without his wife's consent. If you are doing something "good", why do it discreetly? Besides that, i also question the husband's motive. Did he convert the children to annoy his wife? To embarrass his wife or he genuinely want the children to embrace Islam like how he did?

And what are the Muslim syariah lawyers doing to solve this matter? Nothing. There are like so many controversies on conversion issues. I suggest you pass a law, prohibiting a parent from converting a child into any religion without the other parent's consent. Problem solve. You know, in some countries, the children won't have any religion until he chooses one by the time he reach 18 years old. For me, that's not right. A child should be taught religious values since he/she was young. Regardless of what religion you are, all religion are good because they ask you to do good things and to keep away from bad things.

So perhaps I'm a liberal Muslim. I support fairness and justice. Don't do things which you don't want people to do to it. Remember that Lina Joy bitch? The bitch who converted from Islam and wants the word "Islam" to be removed from her IC? Firstly, you can't convert from Islam to another religion, there are good strong reasons to this. Secondly, you are given 3 warnings if you insist on converting and if you insist on doing so, you can be killed. Why is there such rule in Islam? Doesn't this seem harsh? Personally, it's not harsh. I will discuss this in another blog entry.

See, if the bitch actually uses her brain to think, if she doesn't want to be a Muslim any more, be my guess. no one is forcing her but don't EVER GO TO PUBLIC ADMIT with some guts that you converted out from Islam. No Muslims like that. The bitch should be lucky no super religious Muslim tried to kill her in the name of Islam. When you do something publicly, you are encouraging those who have intention of converting to convert out of Islam. Don't expect the government to give you what you want because they will be protecting the welfare of the majority of Muslims.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Yesterday i just watched a Nightmare on Elm Street, the new version of the old one with the same title which was first created in 1984. I'm a big fan of Nightmare on Elm Street and since 1984, there have been 9 movies on it, counting the latest remake. And i'm proud to say i have watched all. So my review on the latest remake is as follows :

I give it a rating of 8 out of 10 stars. Better special effects, good directing, only copy say about 40% of the original movie despite stating it's a remake and better acting crew. Basically what makes this movie good is the gore scene is much better than the old one. The only downside? As a true fan of Nightmare on Elm Street, the original Freddy Kruger played by Robert Englud is much much much more better. Out of the 9 movies, he acted in 8 of them. The new actor playing the role just didn't play the role way.

Freddy Kruger is my favourite bad ass villain. He's mean and sarcastic and at times playful with his victim. He's hideous and his appearance is scary. I remembered when i was little, i was actually afraid to watch him but i still wanted to watch the movie. So what's the problem with the new Freddy?

The new Freddy's face looks "very alien" instead of looking like it supposed to be burnt badly. His body movement isn't as good at the original Freddy. He lacks the height. And when he talks, he hardly moves his mouth. I just hate the way he talks, like as if he doesn't want to talk or perhaps he's trying to sound evilish sexy. Whatever. It didn't work on me. The original Freddy sounds menacing. Below is a pic of the original and new Freddy. You be the judge of who's he better one. Even the old Freddy looks more scary than the new one :




NEW FREDDY (ZOOM TO LOOK AT HIS FACE CLOSER)




OLD FREEDY


This is the best horror movie franchise ever! I like the concept of how Freddy haunts you, through your dreams. I bet you didn't know Johnny Depp acted in the the original A Nightmare on Elm Street. He has a small role there. My favourite Freddy movie is Dream Warriors, i think it's Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (the one at the hospital). They should remake that but this time keep the original Freddy, or find a better one.

Miss USA 2010




If you guys are fimilar with the current news in regards to the Miss USA beauty pageant, then you will know what's the recent issue with this new Miss USA - Rima Fakih. Firstly, she's an immigrant (Lebanese). Secondly, there are pics of her participating in a pole dancing competition but no nudity and perhaps the closest to nudity was her bikini pic for the pageant which shouldn't be an issue. Thirdly, during the pageant, she stumbled with her walk. Fourthly, according to some article, the way she answered the question on birth control/health issue is not satisfactory.

The first time i saw her pic, i think she was pretty and her name sounded kindda weird because it is not an American name. Further, she doesn't look like an American citizen. Of course i was shocked when i heard she was actual an immigrant and a Muslim (maybe immigrant is not the right term but you can't call her a foreigner. I'm sure she's a US citizen, if not she wouldn't be able to participate in Miss USA. She's a USA citizen with an immigrant background - maybe that's more accurate).

Below i copy a paste a portion of the article :


"Miss Hezbollah is now Miss USA," declared conservative radio talk show host Debbie Schlussel, saying that Fakih's relatives in Lebanon had ties to the terrorist organization based there. Schlussel also said Fakih received some financial backing from onetime Hezbollah supporter Imad Hamad — or, as Schlussel put it, Fakih's "bid for the pageant was financed by an Islamic terrorist." Suggesting the pageant was "rigged," Schlussel wrote off Fakih's victory to a "politically correct, Islamo-pandering climate."


When there's an issue involved America, i'm always suspicious of them. Are they trying to tarnish the image of a Muslim or Arabs? I say so because if they let her win, she will be well known and of course any dark secret she has (like that pole dancing) will leaked out. Any anti Muslims will be more than happy to bitch about this matter. Look at Malaysia, they don't allow Malay girls to participate because of that bikini part, it doesn't go hand in hand with Malaysia's Islamic image. Although Malaysia is not strictly Islamic in the sense forcing all the women to cover up, but at least they don't make something immoral into "public". Of course in Malaysia you have sex parties, sex out of wedlock, drug abuse, etc but these things are to be done discreetly. They even make sure the Malaysian artists don't wear scantily in movies or no immoral movie scenes like kissing or sex scene. However, some Malaysian artists still wear scantily but of course society will be bitching about her and her reputation will be tarnished.

Okay, i've diverted from the main topic. Back to this beauty pageant issue. Even last year Miss USA has her own controversy because of some racy pics if i'm not mistaken.

Sometimes i don't really know what's the purpose of beauty pageants. Are they looking for smart beautiful graceful women? What are they looking for in beauty? You know, when people are chosen to be Miss USA or Miss Malaysia, they are going to represent their countries and compete with other countries. Aren't you suppose to show the "beauty of your own country"? Like USA for example, Fakih Rima doesn't look like an all american beauty, can you really say she represent USA? She might as well represent Labenon. When people watch Miss Universe and see all the beauties representing their countries, in a way, we learn how the people of different countries look like, what is the beauty of that country.

Like in Malaysia, since Malays/Muslims can't participate, i think what really represent Malaysia in beauty pageants when competing with other countries is a girl who is mixed with Indian Chinese. They look different but they are part of Malaysia's multiracial society. Sabahans and Sarawakians can participate too but i never seen any of them representing Malaysia to compete in Miss World and Miss Universe. Most Sabahans and Sarawakians are non Muslims so why not? Perhaps the problem is that they lacked HEIGHT. Only a few of them have the height of a model.

So back to Rima Fakih. Lebanon are famous for having beautiful people. Im pretty sure Lebanon can come out with a even prettier contestant. And hopefully she's smart too.

Choose someone that really represent your country. That's the essence of a beauty pageant. And when you choose, choose the BEST. Don't just pick some random pretty girl. Show of your country's natural beauty. Be smart when you compete.

Below is the link of the article which i read about the Miss USA 2010 : http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_ts2099

Men think they know everything?

Today is a funny day, while checking my Facebook, i came across 2 SAME QUESTIONS, basically a question posed by men why is it a "MYSTERY" a pretty woman is with a handsome man. Actually, even before coming across these 2 questions, several people kept on asking the same question. For me, it's not a mystery at all (this doesn't imply i'm a know it all ok ;)!

It's a common sight where you see young women are with an old man or a pretty woman with an ugly man. I'm a woman, so i know the reasons. In the end, we women prefer a financially stable man compare to a good looking man. Good looking men are just for entertainment and amusement. If you watch Desperate Housewives, you will know what i mean. Look at the character name Gabriel Solis, a pretty ex model who is married to an overweight, not so hot but kind hearted rich man name Carlos. Though being married to him, she has a scandalous affair with her young, good looking, sexy and hot gardener. Of course after she was caught with the affair, she finally regret being foolish not to appreciate her husband and hence chose her husband. Not a surprising decision anyway if the woman was SMART. Why choose a poorly paid good looking guy if you can have a rich not so good looking man? After all, who will pay for her makeup, expansive and luxurious stuff but not the partner with tons of money? Men love sex, women love many expansive things.

And when you talk about men, men are always associated with pretty and sexy women. Playboy, Motor or car magazines with scantily dressed women, car racing and motor GP with those umbrella girls and promote cars also involved women scantily dressed. Talk shows or game shows involved pretty women wherelse the host is an old man or just a normal looking guy. So you see how much emphasis is being made for a woman to be pretty or sexy in the commercial industry or men stuff? Now tell me, can you find things which women are interested in where a good looking or half naked man is being used to supposedly lured them to buy the items? No. There's no half naked men promoting women's handbags or shoes but you have half naked women promoting beers and sport stuff for men.

Men need beautiful women. Men go gaga at beautiful women. Men feel so proud and mighty in the presence of beautiful women. They bragged when they are with beautiful women. Basically, they treat women like sex objects or trophies to make their friends or the world jealous. I mean, you look at porn. Most of the women are heavily clad with makeup and silicones to make themselves look beautiful. It's either you are hot or pretty or both. Very rare to find an overweight or ugly woman to star in porn movies. Now, there a lots of porn which involved ugly men or not so hot men. And really, who cares because majority watching porn are men so the women got to be beautiful. Perhaps when the men is ugly it boost the male viewer's self esteem :|.

Thus, my ultimate theory : men find it a mystery that pretty women are with ugly men because men are in fact the ones who are superficial (most ok). They love pretty women, thus they think women should love handsome men. Well, sorry to burst your bubbles. We rather settle for a man who can give us security (the smart ones anyway who thinks of her future). In the animal kingdom, a female will only mate with a male who she thinks has good genes, thus the male have to be the alpha male and the strongest among the rest of the males. The good genes is to ensure the offsprings will be strong and healthy. So a pretty boy is basically useless. Beauty is only temporary.

You men are actually no different. You will settle down for marriage with a good woman but have affairs with young pretty women, prostitutes, GRO, etc.

Ideal wedding

I don't even plan to get married, not this soon anyway since i'm currently single and happy. But i remembered when i was with my ex bf, once or twice we discussed about wedding. He wants a normal wedding but simple. I want a direct to the point wedding. Basically, my ideal wedding is family dinner and the 'akad nikah' to make it legitimate. I have a small family while my ex has a big family, so we don't really see eye to eye. To make it more difficult, the family is more traditional and he has a sister who just got married. So a normal typical Malay wedding is a must.

My ideal wedding involved a wedding ring, akad nikah, close family dinner from both sides. Not that i have forgotten my friends but after i am legally married, then i will invite them for dinner as a later celebration.

Why do i want such thing?

1. I don't believe in spending thousands and thousands for a one day occasion which may end up in divorce (i'm not being negative but it's kind of lame and sad when u have an expansive wedding and then in less than 5 years you are divorced?).

2. I really hate to play super dress up. People say you are suppose to look like a princess on your wedding, hence the gowns and the make up. No thank you, i have no intention of becoming a princess even for a day. Believe me or not, i have this thinking when i was 11 years old when i have to attend my dad's wedding to my stepmom.

3. Celebration involved many people. I don't like big celebrations, that's why i don't really attend parties or festival celebrations. I will feel dizzy and disorientated. I will only attend the necessary and important ones and when i have time, example like my friends' wedding.

4. I guess i have seen and heard so many failed marriages or pretentious marriages to really appreciate celebration of marriage.

5. Note however, just because i seem to sound so negative about marriage, doesn't mean i don't love my future partner. If i don't love him, i wouldn't be married to him in the first place. Plus, i think i'm doing him a favour by not letting him spend so much on our wedding. The only costly thing will the wedding ring (coz i'm a fan of jewelery, but not gold :O). Though i want a cheap wedding, it doesn't imply that my partner doesn't have much money. I will only get married when my partner is financially stable and doing well.

For me, a woman should only get married to the man of her dreams if she's ready to be committed to him, he's capable of being committed to her, financially stable and don't have too many debts. Just now i just read an article where an Ah Long threatened a pregnant woman for RM 50 000 because her husband owed them that amount of money. What kind of shitty problem is that? If i'm gonna get married, the man should be reliable and responsible. Yes, i have high expectations in a man because i'm not blinded by love. I rather be alone than be with someone who's going to burden me with more problems of his own because i have my own problems to deal with. another problem with men is that they never share their problems with their spouse. They keep it to themselves until things got out if control, like the fact that he took loan to pay off his debts. you can take loan but if you take the illegal loans, then you'll be in trouble. I believe that when you are married, you need to discuss any decision you plan to make with your partner.

There's nothing wrong if people want big wedding celebrations, especially if they can afford it. Different people have different priorities. Mine may be different, but i'm sticking to mine despite it being unconventional. Further, it's fun to have a small quite unknown wedding, people probably think that you got pregnant out of wedlock and that's why you are keeping your wedding small, simple and hush hush. People will think what they want to think.

Though marriage to me may be cheap, the bigger problem that a guy may face with me is that i'm difficult to be dealt with :$. Well, nothing is perfect!

So You Love Me? Or Are You Just Lonely

"The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters" – Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Above is my favorite quote because in some ways, it's true. Let's talk about loneliness. People are afraid of it. People are afraid to do things alone or not comfortable doing things alone. When i say i live alone, people always ask don't i feel lonely? Truth to be told, even if i do feel lonely, it doesn't bother me because i keep myself occupied and i don't have the time to think about loneliness. When i say i watch movies alone, people sympathized with me. Is it "sad" if someone do things alone? Have you ever wonder perhaps it isn't me who's "sad" since i'm capable of doing things alone? Are you able to survive being alone or do you let loneliness consume you?

I have my reasons doing things alone. I like to get things done fast. If you plan with friends, it might take some time since you need to do planning and their schedule can be different from yours. Besides that, you might have different interest with them. I like horror, most of my friends don't like horror movies. But this doesn't mean i ignore my friends. Once awhile i will meet up with them but if i want to really do something and there's no one to company me, i'll do it alone. I'm not gloating that i can survive being alone. No one likes to be alone but there are times when you need to learn to be alone and cope with that feeling. Why should you fear loneliness? Unfortunately, many fear it.


Some people feel very alone when they are NOT in a relationship while most of their friends are in relationship or married. When people have partners, they tend to do things more with their partners, hence sometimes forgetting their friends. It's a very common scenario. That's why you have people feeling sad or down when they see people around them are in relationship. They are already alone, so when their friends are in relationship, they feel even more alone.

As Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche quote says, "The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters"...

There's so much truth to that. When you are alone and you feel miserable, the moment you have the opportunity to be with someone, you grab it immediately without thinking because you think by having someone you won't feel lonely anymore. You don't think whether you like the person inside and out. Do you even know that person's interests and hobbies? Or his good or bad habits? Just because someone said they like you, they are falling for you, they want to be with you, you get all too excited and decide to be in a relationship.


9 years ago, if a guy says he wants to be with me, i'll get all excited and think i want to be with him too. But after going through so many relationships and meeting all kinds of men and observing people's relationship, i learn one important lesson in relationship, never rush. Remember the song that goes ..

Wise men say only fools rush in


But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?

If I can't help falling in love with you

The song is by Elvis Presley titled "Only Fools Rush In". True, only fools rush in. Love is always beautiful and perfect when you first start dating. You couldn't even see your partner's flaws.. That's what we call love is blind. You are so in love, you are ignorant.

Lonely as i may be, i wouldn't want to rush into relationship. i have set a certain standard for my next partner. Personally, i rather be alone than having to be in an unhappy relationship.

So many people are eager to be in a relationship or propose to be in a relationship because they are lonely or have been too lonely too long. To some extent, i don't blame them. I've been single about 6 months now since i last broke up with my ex. Some people have been single for years. Perhaps that's why they rush into a relationship the moment they have a chance. I wonder if i would be that way? Perhaps i should stay single for the next 2 years. But whatever it is, i won't commit into a relationship just because i'm lonely. I'll only commit if i find the The Almost Perfect Prince Charming. And i DEFINITELY will NOT be with a guy who wants to be with me just because he's feeling lonely, or he thinks he needs to settle down with someone. And i know such guy when i see one. And there are many of them. Loneliness shouldn't be a reason to be in a relationship.

I'm not ignorant of reality either.. perhaps now i'm capable of coping with loneliness because my family members are still around. I love them more than anything. But even if my family members are not around, i wish i will be able to cope with loneliness and won't let it consume me by making me resort to relationship despite not being ready.

Too Open or Too Conservative

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjehii-jjHE&feature=player_embedded

Above is a link that will lead you to a video of a bunch of 7 year old girls doing a dancing performance of Beyonce's Single Ladies. We all know how Beyonce video clips are like, a lot of booty shaking, grinding and whatever things she wants to shake that will men explode with raging testosterone hormones. Basically, her dances are sexual and erotic. Nothing innocent about it

So the dance sequences performed by the girls are exactly like Beyonce's.

But people have this thinking that goes : adult stuff done by adult is not good for adult but is okay for children because children don't have well developed boobs and asses to shake hence there can't be any sexual tension between a female child and a grown up male adult. Well, then explain the existence of paedophiles?

Hence ...

1. If a 20 year old girl were to wear a midriff bearing her tummy, walking in public, people will call her a slut and her dressing is inappropriate but if you dress a 7 year old girl that way, people don't think it's troubling.

2. If a 20 year old girl were to dance and shake her booty provocatively, people will find it offensive and improper. If a 7 year old girl were to do it, people will think she's cute or talented.

My question is : why is it not okay for an adult to do a particular thing but it's okay for a child to do the same thing? If the thing it self is morally wrong, who cares what kind of person regardless of age or gender does it?

I think children shouldn't dance dances that have sexual elements which are performed by adults.

Again, why do you make children wear adult clothes? You think it's cute? Seriously? Why don't you think it cute on a full grown adult woman with developed assets? It'll look even better. So back to the children who are performing the Beyonce's dance. Is it appropriate for them to wear such costume for any performance? It looks like a stripper costume. You like to dress and make up your child to look like a stripper/hooker?

Only recently i saw a video where a 4 year old child was shown smoking and looking at porn. 4 YEAR OLD doing these disgusting things? And the way he act is already like an adult. He's surrounded by irresponsible jackass people who taught him these. The adults around him encourage him to do smoke, probably thinking it's cool, cute and funny how a 4 year old try to imitate an adult.

You think it's cute how a child try to imitate and adult? doing things only adult suppose to be doing? So you think it's cute teaching a 7 year old to pole dance or belly dancing (the exotic belly dancing, not the normal one).

Sometimes as an adult, i feel embarrass that we are teaching and encouraging children to do all these. Children should be doing what is meant for children. Let them wear those long frilly gowns, not mini skirts and halter top. Let them dance children dance, not grinding here and there like a horny prostitute. Let them listen to children music and do dances from children musical, not listen to grown up songs talking about love, break up, heartbreaks or whatever crap adults listen to and do dances from it.

Are we training children to do the wrong things? Eventually these children will grow up and enter their teens years and that's when they will screw up their life (some). If they want to dress sexy, smoke, take drugs, watch porno, dance like a hooker, grind their booty or whatever, let them decide to do it and not us adult encouraging them to do it just because it's supposedly soooo cute to be done by children.

As long as they are children, we adults are responsible for whatever bad things happened to them. Children don't learn bad things unless it comes from adult. So when they are mature and they want to do bad things, it's their wish and responsible. By then, they will know what's wrong and what's right.

Emotional v Rational

Fact : women are emotional.
Questionable fact : men are rational. Oh really? If men are so rational, why do they do stupid things? Like being a politician yet having scandalous affairs.

So people say that because women are emotional, they can't make rational decisions because their emotions prevent them to think clearly. Just because you are emotional, doesn't mean you can't make rational decisions.

Many times men have accused me of being emotional in the sense that i get angry easily. And they accused me of this when i raised my voice, start swearing or start saying nasty stuff. Yes, i admit i was emotional at that time but nevertheless, when i'm emotionally angry, i will always think before i said something so as nasty as the words i said when i'm angry, i mean it 100%. Do i regret saying it? NEVER.

But i think there are some arguments when i said i will do it but i never do it. Because i was overcome but anger, i said it but i later take it back. One reason i do so is because i was too angry and also i have other 'manupulative' plans which i think will work better than the angry decision that i made. But when someone made me angry to the extend they hurt my pride and dignity, I only forgive them 10%.

When a MAN and a WOMAN argue, men would keep quiet while the woman will be screaming their heads off. I asked many men why they do this. These are their reasons :

1. It's a waste of time, energy.
2. The woman is too stubborn to listen. So better shut up.
3. Argument over a small matter.

For me, if you are right, you argue as long as you can. Silence may mean you are guilty. I know i know people say just because you are silent, doesn't mean you give in. Well, on the surface it looks that way. I wonder whether the emotions of a woman give her the strength to argue and never give up.

But my problem with man is this : they keep quiet despite feeling dissatisfied and think it's hopeless to argue with a woman, especially if the woman is his partner. He just keeps quiet and hopefully the woman will shut up. So there is a problem and the man choose to keep quiet about it, giving the impression that the woman had won and problem settled.

However, the problem isn't settled. Because the man feels fed up with the outcome of the argument every time he has with his partner, he seeks his OWN SOLUTION. And that solution is morally wrong. I won't mention what it is but it's wrong. For me, the man is simply too pussy to settle the problem with his partner and thus, look for an alternative solution that doesn't require confrontation with his partner.

So again, despite the man supposedly being 'rationale' enough not to engage in a quarrel with his emotional partner, he still make a wrong decision. A decision that lacks rationale thinking.

Jealousy

Jealousy... a dangerous feeling. Nevertheless, we feel it occasionally. I'm not immune from it either. It's how we handle it that matters.

Of course you can be happy for someone but if you want to feel jealous, the feeling will just come naturally. Like if i feel jealous, i will keep quiet about it and eventually the feeling will go away. So is it wrong if i feel jealous about something which i should be happy for another person but i keep my jealousy to myself? I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

On the other hand, there are shit heads who don't know how to handle their jealousy. They feel jealous, so they must say something mean. I don't know perhaps it gives them some kind of satisfaction by saying something mean. Some will say something mean behind your back or some will say something mean indirectly to your face. Let me illustrate to you some "entertaining" instances that i experienced.

1st instance :
This bitch was suppose to be my friend. She acts so religiously, humble, well mannered etc. I actually believed she was a good person until i found out that she was talking behind my back. I truly hate a person who pretends to be my friend but back stab me behind. These kind of people are thee lowest of low lives. Uncivilized, uncultured. Hypocrites. If you don't like me, you could simply just don't be friends with me. Don't pretend to be my friend, and try to do things with me. Not only that, for someone who doesn't like me all this while, she can still say nice things straight to my face. Now i feel like punching that bitch's face. Anyway, she occasionally accompanied me go shopping when we were still friends and apparently she has a problem with the fact i can buy stuff and complain to another person that i'm wasting my father's money. M*thferF*cker BItch. Sorry for my foul language. God only knows how much i hate that c*nt. WHo in the hell does she think she is to say i'm wasting my dad's money? This is like the kettle calling the pot black. I'm wasting my dad's money aren't i? Well what about the fact that her father spent money for her to repeat her exams? That's not wasting money? All this while when i went shopping with her, it never crossed my mind she has such ill feeling towards me. I'm just like any other girl who go shopping with her friend to buy stuff where you bring a friend a long because you want to ask her opinion whether the thing looks nice or not. Is that wrong? It never crossed my mind to show off they i'm capable of buying something. Sometimes it's better to go shopping alone to avoid this kind of misunderstanding.


2nd instance :
This person who felt jealous with me is a guy. Funny how men can feel jealous seeing what a girl has. Once a while he would say something nasty indirectly. Example : like saying i wasn't independent, etc. Actually that bitch that i was telling you earlier nicknamed me "princess". It was an indirect insult. Doesn't sound that mean but it's meant to be sarcastic. When i confronted him, he wouldn't admit he's jealous up until recently when he admitted it. So i was right all along to feel that he was jealous at me when he make a nasty or bitchy remark and it wasn't because of my sensitivity that makes me think so.


Conclusion : jealousy is normal. Even the devil feels jelaous of human and thus resulted him being banished from heaven. Hmm, i thought one of the differences between angels (the devil is a fallen angel) and humans is that angels don't have any feelings like love, hate, jealousy? I learned that during my religious classes. Nevertheless, that's not the issue now. How to overcome jealousy? If you want to say something mean or think something mean, just do it in your head, don't need to bitch it to other people. Isn't it better to keep quiet than to say something negative? Btw, there's a difference between hatred and jealousy. I bitch because i hate something. And i blog because i hate something. I always keep my jealousy to myself. Sometimes by showing your jealousy, it shows how weak you are.

A**hole Bus drivers

It's been awhile since i last bitched about the services of the public bus because so far it didn't do anything stupid to irritate me until TODAY. Because of the asshole Metro bus drivers, i was late to class 45 minutes.

My class today was at 2 pm. I was waiting for the bus at 12 15pm. Around 12 30pm, i saw a Metro bus coming, so i waived for him to stop. That asshole didn't stop because the asshole wanted to catch up with traffic light because it was green. He didn't want to risk stopping to pick and having to wait for a red traffic light. I wished the size of his private part DECREASED by 1 INCH.

The next bus only came at 12 45 pm. Although the bus driver did stop to pick me up, he's another world class asshole.

Everything was fine until he decided not to stop at KL SENTRAL when he's SUPPOSE TO STOP AT KL SENTRAL. Instead he skipped that destination and go right away to Central Market and Kota Raya. Had he followed what he's suppose to do, i'll be ON TIME FOR CLASS.

The asshole bus drive stopped at Kota Raya and the conductor bus guided me and another 2 passenger to another bus that will take us to KL Sentral. This other bus was waiting for passengers to fill up the bus so I have to wait about 30 minutes before the bus was full and finally reaching KL Sentral. By the time i reached my college, it was 2 45 pm.

In this situation, there are 2 asshole of a bus drivers that i cursed. The first asshole that didn't stop when i waived him to stop, and the second asshole who didn't pass by KL Sentral when it's his job to do it because he didn't want to be caught in the jam. I wasn't angry at the 3rd bus driver that made me wait 30 minutes just to get bus filled with people because it's his job and he was an innocent party.

The moral of the story? When you do your work, make sure you do what you are suppose to do. Don't simply change things just because it makes your life easier. Have some consideration to other people. People who take the bus have important things to do and need to be at their destination ON TIME too.

Why People Do Stupid Things For Love...

When i say STUPID things, i mean the following :

1. Hurting yourself or commit suicide when the love goes wrong.

2. Stalking, threatening your partner when your partner breaks up with you.

3. Punishing yourself by isolating yourself from the world or potential partners. These are people who think about their ex. I call it stupid because in life, you always move on andby not leaving the memory of your ex behind, you can never move on. Not only are you torturing yourself but you are hurting your potential partners when you choose to be with them but you can't get over your ex.

4. By being depressed over a failed relationship.


And WHY people do stupid things for love?

1. They are a sucker for romantic movies. Watching too much of these crap can really damage your brain. I mean, it's okay to watch it occasionally but ALWAYS? And kindly stay away from those really lame romance movies. It's true, sometimes movies can really brainwash your mind, if you are WEAK. Once i read in a newspaper about why Indians are the most likely to commit suicide (this was in regards to the incident where the mother brought her children do the railway to commit suicide), they say it's because of the influence of Indian movies. Hmm, i can't really remember many Indian movies that show couples trying to commit suicide, then again, i've stopped watching Hindustan movies. The last i could remember of attempt at suicide is the movie BOBBY, where they try to drown themselves. Hell, i wish their parents weren't on time to save their asses. I really hate when people try to commit suicide because of love. That's just too retarded. Another incident i read was in the newspaper where this idiot guy tried to swallow poison because he found out his gf is engaged to another guy. Asshole.

2. They gave everything to their partner. So when they partner choose to leave them, they become lost and disorientated. That's why people say never give 100% of your love. Just because you don't love your partner 100%, doesn't mean you don't love your partner. If you don't love your partner, how can you feel hurt or jealous when your partner did something taht hurt you?

3. Lacked rationality and reasonableness. When you don't value your dignity, you do stupid things for love. Why BEG for someone to accept you when the person already dumped you? Is your love for that person so great that you are willing to sacrifice your dignity? Why do you choose look weak and vulnerable? You may feel weak and vulnerable inside over a break up or love gone bad but never show on the outside how weak you are. Firstly, it damages your dignity and secondly it indirectly gives satisfaction to your ex partner of the power they had over you and in a way, you won't get any respect from your ex partner. Do you really want to do that? Personally, i don't think it's an attractive trait at all.

Compliments

Today's blog is about COMPLIMENTS. According to Dictionary.com, compliment means (not that i'm insulting you intelligence thinking that you don't know what is a compliment :k ) :

an expression of praise, commendation, or admiration: A sincere compliment boosts one's morale.

This is one of the meanings of compliment given by Dictionary.com. The key word here is SINCERE. These are my observations on the types of compliments that exist :

1. Genuine compliment.
2. Kiss Ass compliment.
3. Obligatory compliment.
4. Fake compliment.

Let me elaborate on each type.

1. Genuine Compliment :
This your typical normal sincere compliment. You compliment or you say something nice because you think it's true. You say your friend's handbag is cute coz you really think it's cute. You think that boy is an asshole, so you tell the boy he's a world class asshole. Oops, sorry that doesn't sound like a compliment. Another example, you think that person is really smart, so you tell the person he's smart :Angel.

2. Kiss Ass compliment :
Commonly takes place in an environment when you are working or doing something with someone with a higher position than you. Like student-teacher, employer-employee. Why kiss ass compliment? Coz you wanna get that promotion and one of the methods in doing so is to say nice things to your employer despite you think he's a world class bastard/bitch :|. Basically, you give a kiss ass compliment coz u want to get something beneficial in return even if it means jeopardizing your dignity or being a hypocrite . This is another form of fake compliment, given willingly.

3. Obligatory compliment :
I think this is very common. Like i ask whether this dress looks good on me, and because you don't want to hurt my feelings, you say it looks great on me. You think you are obliged to say something nice either because you are my friend, you don't to hurt me or you think it's a small matter and even if you lie, it's just a small white lie :f. Obligatory compliments are like fake compliments too but it's not as bad as kiss ass and fake compliments because the SITUATION ITSELF requires you to tell a small white lie. They are given because they are asked to comment on something and thinking a POSITIVE answer is required, they compliment it. It's like, you may hate your wife but because she's your wife, you are still obliged to go back to her every night or do things for her.

4. Fake compliment :
Mother fake of all fake compliments :@. Why do people give fake compliments? To DECEIVE others. Example : when a guy says the girl is like a goddess, pretty, cute, beautiful, smart, sexy and all other nice things just to get into her panties or to get close to her. This is almost similar with kiss ass compliments but i like to apply kiss ass compliment more in a 'working/ studying environment' where else for fake compliment, it's for social environment (wider concept).


One won't really know whether the compliment is genuine or not. It all depends on the compliment giver's INTENTION. Compliments should come naturally, you shouldn't go around seeking for compliments or phrase questions hoping to get compliments. God, i meet a lot of people like that, those that like to fish for compliments :@. Sometimes you do want to compliment it's nice but because you know that person is fishing for compliments, you just don't feel like saying it's nice, good or whatever :|.

Like if you see a pic, it's up to you to comment whether you like it or not. If you really like a picture, you compliment it if you want. If you don't like it, you can bitch about it but since people don't like being criticized, you can just shut up :i.

I just hate it if people give fake compliments. It's very deceiving :@. Hell, i would call it FRAUDULENT COMPLIMENT. If you don't think something is good, you better keep quiet about it UNLESS the compliment receiver ask you a question which looks like positive feedback is required. Another example, like if i ask if i'm fat. If the situation does prove that i'm fat, you can either say so or just give a small white lie. You are not really a bad person coz you are being put in a situation to give an answer. This is when the obligatory compliment comes in. Of course, as the person who ask about the fat question, i should be prepared with the answer, be it positive or not, i shouldn't be angry.

Now, it's a different matter when you are minding your business and suddenly a fat comment is thrown at you xo. You are entitled to bitch slap and bitch flying kick that person :Fire. No one ask for his comment in the first place.
