Stupid

“All I can say is … feelings cannot be rationalized” – Joseph Cheng in ISWAK

That is what he said when asked why he chose XQ over HL.

HL is perfect. Pretty and smart. But she is bland. She’s boring.

On the other hand, XQ is pathetic and dumb. She’s also clumsy and her stupidity is over the top. But man, you gotta love her persistence and determination to get his attention.

She may be stupid. But at least, she’s “not that stupid” to be in a relationship with someone she doesn’t like.

She’d rather be left alone and be sad.

She’s the perfect example of a faithful lover.

In one of the episodes, she drove a pregnant woman to the hospital even if she doesn’t know how to drive.

She doesn’t have a driver’s license! Talk about stupidity at its highest level.

She could have called an ambulance. Or called a doctor. Or asked the men around to drive for them. Or called a taxi.

There are too many options but she picked the most dangerous one.

I couldn’t look at the screen when Joe was furious and yelling at her.

“Are you an idiot?! What if you killed the woman and her baby? Can you live with that?!”

Gosh. I couldn’t take it. She just cried and said she was sorry. What the … ?!

Good thing the episode has a nice ending. I thought I was going to have a heart attack!

Joe embraced her and said “thank God, you are okay.”

:)

Hey, that’s the only sad part. Most of the scenes are extremely funny.

I simply love the Taiwanese version of Itazura na Kiss.

More intense and better kisses. LOLz.

All episodes of ISWAK done.

Now, back to work!

I’m a huge fan of Itazura na Kiss so I can’t help but compare Korean (Playful Kiss) versus Taiwanese (It Started with a Kiss) version. I think the latter is funnier and more realistic. Plus I fell in love with Joe Cheng. He’s so adorable. He reminds me of someone. They have the same eyes and eyebrows, body-built, and length of hair.

Yes, blogmates. I have a crush. After 4 years of being isolated from the male species (hahaha!), I have a crush. This time in the form of a real human being. This time, I am not in love with a virtual person, or an anime character, or a Korean actor. But this time is worse because he does not even know my name. I’m not saying that those Korean actors know me. All I’m saying is I’m stupid.

Well, I’m not in love. It’s just a crush. And my friends are not very supportive because we don’t know him at all. We don’t have common friends. He might be a criminal or worse he already has a girlfriend. That’s right, blogmates. It would be better for him to be a criminal than to be taken. LOLz. Joke.

Anyway, for the entire month of January, I’m busy trying to forget about him. What the .. ?! I’m so stupid. I went out with friends and tried my best to occupy my mind with other things like reading and watching all episodes of It Started with a Kiss.

Are you familiar with the plot? A girl is madly in love with someone who can’t like her back. For 5 years, she did everything to win his heart and almost ended up having her heart broken. Can you imagine the embarrassing moments she had to endure? It’s hilarious. I can’t bare to see some of the scenes because, blogmates, S is a woman. I feel embarrassed for her. Even if it’s just a drama.

I think that is the major difference between men and women. You can court a girl even if she doesn’t like you and yet there is still a possibility of winning her heart. But men. *Shrug* You can’t change a man’s mind. If he’s not interested then he’s not. But the girl in the story was able to do it. She won his heart … after FIVE YEARS! Haha! It’s one of the best love stories for me. Better than The Notebook and 50 First Dates. Just my opinion.

Here is something you ought to know. I asked J if it’s acceptable for a woman to court a man. She’s a modern lady who has a masteral degree in Men and Relationships. (Hahaha! I love you friend!) She said it’s dangerous. He might not reject you but might take advantage of the situation. Or, he might like you too but won’t see you as the future mother of his kids. Mmmm … that makes sense.

Burn Fats with African Mango

December 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Being overweight can affect the quality of a person’s life. It can lead to serious illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, heart-related problems, cardio-vascular diseases, and other complications that can lead to sudden death. Fortunately, there are natural and safe ways to burn fats.

Regular exercise and proper diet are on top of the list. Walking makes the heart stronger while running makes the lungs work harder. On the other hand, eating the right kind of food can help an individual achieve his ideal weight. Fruits such as strawberries, oranges and acai berries are said to help lost weight in a short span of time.

Another fruit that is gaining popularity in the weight-loss market is the african mango. It contains vitamins that claim to lower the cholesterol level and accelerate the body metabolism. It is also rich in leptin hormones which are known as appetite suppressants thus helping the person control his yearnings for foods that will make him gain weight.

Everything said, active lifestyle and a balanced diet can do wonders in burning those unwanted bellies. However, you must understand that experts have varying opinions regarding “balanced diet.” This means that we have differing needs and that it is always best to consult your physician about what is most suitable for you.

My Blog Skin

November 8, 2011 By 3 Comments

I have been changing themes again for the past few weeks. I know I know I know I know I know (to the nth power) I promised I’d be contented with Thesis forever but I can’t help it. Genesis framework is so cool. There are plenty of skins to choose from and most of them are easy to customize. Take note though that when I say “easy” I don’t really mean easy in its exact definition. What I’m trying to say is that, you can self-study it and learn on your own.

Recently, I learned how to tweak the CSS (custom style sheet) and I’m so excited to designed my own blog(s). First, I am studying different Photoshop techniques. For me it’s difficult because I am completely ignorant about this software and I have no background in image types. I am slowly introducing myself to PNG, JPG, and GIF files. It’s crazy because I used to hear these terms in my previous job but I never bothered to ask what they really mean.

Anyway, I’m not using Genesis for Blogful Life. I installed Headway for this blog but I’m not sure yet if this is final. Headway is a drag and drop framework. Knowledge of coding language is not necessary to customize the design and it’s not helping me in my ambition of becoming a web designer. Yeah, I’m so ambitious. Hehehe. Someday I want to say that I’m a freelance writer / web designer :P Anyway, for now I have to do it manually to understand how this thing works. Wish me luck.

Cute gift ideas

October 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Are you tired of sending the same old gifts to your loved ones? It’s high time you get creative and give them something special this coming holidays. As we know, Halloween and Christmas are coming soon and we are all busy preparing gifts. This year, surprise your family and friends with unique and cute presents that will surely melt their hearts.

  1. Snack Gift Basket. Nothing beats a basket full of sweets, chocolates, pastries and goodies. Kids and adults will surely enjoy it. Regardless of the gender of the receiver, this is one of best gift ideas that you could ever have. It’s so simple and easy to prepare. You can also place your order from online stores and have it delivered directly to your loved one. Don’t forget to add a ribbon on the basket to make it more special.
  2. Kitchen Cookbook . Not all women love  to cook, some would rather eat. But you can still give your girlfriend or best friend a foreign cookbook to inspire her to try her skills in cooking. The best thing about this gift idea is that you and the receiver can actually learn simple recipes together hence an opportunity to bond and get closer.
  3. Watch for him. If the ladies are addicted to shoes, the gentlemen are hooked with wrist watches. Give an Oris Williams F1 watch to your dad, brother, or boyfriend and you will surely bring out the generous side of him. He’ll either take you shopping or treat you to a nice restaurant :)

There are lots of cute gift ideas. You just have to be creative and unique. Most of the time, you won’t even have to spend thousands of dollars to please people. After all, it’s the thought that counts, right?
