MERRY CHRISTMAS

remember to spend it with your family or loved ones. 

it makes it all that much better

THREE DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS

'tis the time for giving --- so give it right

1. good: find out what's in style this season. that's easy, any guy can do that. just look through your girl's magazine that she left in the bathroom, and pick an item that you see the most. it could be something simple like scarves or even belts. however, if you do decide to go with scarves or belts, make sure to get it in more than one style and color...that means that you're not allowed to get just one scarf or one belt. 

bad: a wallet that has hello kitty on it, or any vulgar language written on there and say that it's art. a wallet that has hello kitty on it is good for high school/middle school girls who want to act cutesy, but if your girlfriend is like, 20 and up, skip that. and having a wallet that has the word penis on it is not funny. [no joke. i've seen that wallet before in hong kong]

2. good: if you really can't think of something to get her, then be safe, and get a gift card at her favorite store. be sure to make it up to her and get her a gift card thats worth at least $100. no, i'm not crazy. if you get her a gift card of $20 dollars, what can she seriously get? a pair of underwear? 

bad: gift cards are good granted that it's not from best buy or from home depot. getting her a gift card from those manly places is not cute. because you're probably only getting it for her just so you can use it in the end.

3. good: a tasteful outfit. we probably don't want an outfit for work, so something we can wear daily is nice. like a cashmere sweater since it is winter. do not get her a large if she really isn't and don't get her a small if you know she can't fit into that either. best way to go is to look at a shirt that she fit perfectly, and ask a sales lady for help once you get to the store.

bad: lingerie from victoria's secret. we know you went in there to scope out what or who is hot, and the fact that you give us some skimpy outfit so we can wear it for you on christmas eve? that doesn't work. 

4. good: jewelry. every girl loves jewelry. from diamonds to pearls to plastic jewelry, whatever she fancies. that's a wide range to choose from; rings, bracelets, whatever. but if you're going to go for diamonds, make sure that it's worth something and not some cheap diamond, and i know you know what i'm talking about. if you're going to do that then you might as well get her plastics. 

bad: getting her a certificate to get her nipples pierced or any other inappropriate place. i don't think i have to elaborate on this one. 

5. good: a good read or a subscription to her favorite magazine. we'd always appreciate a lifetime delivery of our favorite magazine so we don't have to keep going to the supermarket or newsstand to get it. finding the right book is also a bonus. depends on what genre she likes, just go to barnes and noble and pick out a book from the bestsellers list. 

bad: getting us a prescription to playboy so you can enjoy a good bathroom read too. that doesn't work either. don't get her a book about dieting unless she asks for one because she'll think that you are trying to send a subliminal message to her that she's fat and she needs to diet. i don't think you'd want to do that either. 

6. good: giving a name to your new dog that incorporates your names together, or a word that you two associate to be cute and loving. say, your names are ben and angie = bengie or benji. that also means that you have to get a pet. just going to the pet store and finding a random pet, pointing to it an say, "look, i've named him benji, after us." --no, you can't do that.

bad: naming a star after her. that's just pathetic because that's a waste of money and a scam. don't do it. 

6 days till christmas

you know what's funny? brought to my attention by dearest, Ms. Oprah

*watch faith hill's reaction*

8 days till christmas. holy shiz

i have six finals. i've already finished three, but i still have three more left, and it makes me feel like im not getting anywhere...

while procrastinating, i've found out i have a love for online shopping. its really a dangerous habit because well, 

1. you spend so much money just clicking away

2. you spend a whole lot of time just sitting there

3. you can't try or feel it

but the good thing about it is that 

1. i dont have to go out and walk around the stores

2. i can always return it if i dont like it

3. i dont have to deal with sales people

you know, sometimes the shopping online is more worth it because what they have online, they might not have it in the stores. i love shopping =)

13 days till christmas

omg. JESSICA ALBA is preggers! omg. 

say hi to baby's daddy - Cash Warren. i like his name

.

when i heard this, i was really excited for her. good for them. congrats to them both

being a star in america and being a star in asia makes the worlds difference. here, we embrace it when the star goes out with someone, and we are happy when they're pregnant or married. but in asia, esp hong kong, when a star gets pregnant before she gets married then OMG GOD FORBID. and once they get married---yeah, say sayonara to your career. that should change. 

14 days till christmas

Barbara Walters. AKA BABS

"You know, now nothing cannot be kept a secret because everyone is posting things on YouTube and MyFace."

[Hilarious. i could not stop laughing]

ps. just watched high school musical one and two, and i LOVED it. its cheesy, but the songs are good. HSM2's songs are better though. 

15 days till christmas

4 natural things a woman has against a man

i'm being totally serious here, we have so many that i can only list 4 that i think are the most important, and the ones that work the best. 

1. the other men in our lives

let's face it. when you bring home the boy, the other men in your life, meaning your boy cousins, brothers, DADDY...all want to get in the line to interrogate this guy. don't feel bad for your guy because maybe they will find something unworthy of him since you can't through those love-sick eyes

2. nail polish

it sounds stupid, but really. think about it. 

scenario one: "honey, can you help me do the dishes? my nails are still not dry yet." 

scenario two: "honey, can you do the laundry, my nails aren't dried yet." 

you get the drift. it works for almost everything!

3. our intuition

not only do our mothers have that creepy intuition, but so do we when it comes to our guys. he doesn't have to do much to make you realize that he's cheating, or if he's gotten you that coveted gift you wanted for a while now. it works against his favor, whether he's planning a sweet surprise, or giving you a bad surprise, but once he finds out your "souls are connected," it'll make him think twice

4. our tears

it works every time. if he loves you, his heart will wrench to see you shed those tears. if he doesn't then dump him because he's not the one for you. but tears are generally supposed to be used when you are absolutely serious...and not for practical jokes to get him to do things for you. thats mean.

give them a try. they work.
