A tale I will tell.
It has happened many times,
My bad, or bad luck?

Look, a girl!
Alas, she’s not free.
Frustration.

Envy, can’t help it.
Because she’s with him, not me.
Moving on, sadly.

An attempt at storytelling using multiple haikus.

Selina shared this link with me on Facebook …

Psychologists at Radboud University in The Netherlands carried out the study after one of them was so struck on impressing an attractive woman he had never met before, that he could not remember his address when she asked him where he lived.

…

The research shows men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive woman perform less well in tests designed to measure brain function than those who chat to someone they do not find attractive.

Men lose their minds speaking to pretty women – telegraph.co.uk.

I don’t know if she realises it but she has now given me a get-out-of-jail-free card for any kind of idiotic behaviour around her and my other female friends. It will probably work on girlfriends too.

What?! It’s because you’re pretty. It can’t be helped. *shrug*

They can’t possibly argue the point now, can they?!

To illustrate my point, here are the classic “What?!” commercials for Hahn Light Beer.

fookin … try to imagine that in a Sith Afrikan accent!

The core concept of the movie is this: instead of wondering what aliens might do to us if they ever visit our planet, think about what we would do to them. As has been common throughout human history and currently, what we would do to them are not very pleasant things indeed. What also happens in the movie is how one person’s world crumbles when everything that he holds true about himself, his job and what he believes to be just, falls apart in a dramatic fashion.

I went into the movie knowing just the above and I was totally blown away by it. I knew nothing about the specific plot lines or special effects. I won’t link to any trailers because after watching the movie, I feel that they give away some important plot points. It’s better if you went into it like I did and just get taken along for the ride. But I will link to this propaganda-ish clip done in the context of the movie’s world to give you a feel of it.

If you like a gritty sci-fi action movie where the effects are there to tell an amazing and thought-provoking story and are not the main attraction, then you’d love it. Having said that, the effects are sooo cool!

Watch it watch it watch it!

Wipe that smug look off of your face.
Stop putting your hands all over her like that,
We know she’s with you.
Stop showing off.

Get rid of that idiotic smirk.
Stop smiling like you’re the happiest person in the world,
We know you are in love.
Stop rubbing it in our faces.

We don’t need your sympathy,
Or your pity,
So stop …

Wait, what?
You am I?
I was you?
Oh, I never realised.
Everyone’s a smug bastard when they are in love.

Since this is a consistent drawer of visitors to my little corner of the Internet, I thought I’d perpetuate the topic. But instead of criticising your white-fever-ness, I’m gonna offer something useful to you today: a tip! That’s right, a tip!

Ok here it comes … go hang out at your local bubble tea spot and try and chat up the white girls that come in. Why? Because if a white girl can tolerate and actually likes bubble tea – one of the most Asian of Asian drinks (right next to grass jelly drink), I would bet you that she’s open to the idea of having something else Asian inside of her. knowwhatimsayin?

Hur hur hur.
