What a week...

So Saturday's finally here, and I've resigned to the fact that I won't be getting any hot dates to end the week with a bang. But considering the fruitful work of Japanese pop culture that has been occupying my time, there isn't much to rant about, is there?

Ha. you people thought wrong.

I'm starting to despise people who forsake basic courtesy because they are so into someone else.

It's rude and utterly disprespectful.

Nothing wrong if people show an obvious bias to the object of their affections. It's only human to do so, since urges of such a nature are ever so hard to resist. Everyone will definitely appreciate your efforts to be objective, but no one will force that expectation down your throat. As for whether that person has a right to another's sense of fairness, I'll just leave that for personal discourse.

But laughing at one's own inconsistencies goes a far longer way than chiding a friend, don't you agree?

A word of wisdom

A few of my friends have gone ahead to extract their third molars and are thus happy to 'be-fools' themselves. My beloved dentist however, believes that preventive extraction isn't necessary. If it doesn't hurt, no point going through all that trouble to damage gum nerves. I feel he makes sense. Call it vestigial if you want, but those molars actually helped our ancestors chew vegetables better.

Wisdom teeth usually start to grow between the ages of 17-25. If you can see white masses appearing on the end of your gums, rejoice for you have been impacted with the gift of the wisdom. Naturally most dentists, especially the chain-sawing, plier-wielding zealots, will encourage you to do away with it ASAP. Take my dad for example, he kept his two dormant volcanoes for a decade before they erupted big time and rotted his gums away. While these dental hazards do occur, only backward and horizontal impactions of wisdom have a high chance of rotting their calcium-clad neighbours. On the other hand, extractions might permanently destroy your gum nerves, and that means unwanted sensations during Ben & Jerry's and loss of pleasure when making out. To date, there is no empirical evidence to show that preventive extraction (i.e. forcibly taking out your wisdom teeth even though they don't hurt) would clutter your teeth or destroy your megawatt smile. Given these findings, it was predicted that surgical procedures could be reduced by 60% or even more!

So keep your wisdom, if she doesn't hurt you. Love her, cherish her and take good care of her for she will keep your paths (and teeth) straight.

おたく!!!!!

Dear readers,

From this day forth, you shall be watching the otakurisation of Joel Gn.

To become a true otaku in the tradition of Japanese pop culture, one needs to fulfill the following tasks:

1) Go Japan at least once
2) Watch fansubbed anime
3) Read manga
4) Listen to a diverse range of Japanese pop/rock
5) Do research on them
6) Buy action figures and model kits
7) Keep posters
8) Cosplay (I'll try to abstain from that haha)
9) Go maid cafe for drinks instead of pubs and clubs
10)Most importantly, complete all 4 levels of the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test)

wakata?

When people know me by my Japanese name, the transformation is complete hahaha.

Seriously, I'm hoping this internship works out. It will bring me one step closer to studio Ghibli!

For now, time to indulge in Utada Hikaru's latest single, 'Beautiful World'. Her recent singles have an electronic feel, which goes down better on my ears compared to her earlier R&B albums. It's also the theme song to 'Rebuild of Evangelion' OVA and I'm really looking forward to it ;P

Should I?

Naturally, when people say they're busy or held up someplace, it isn't cause for worry. After all, they do get back to you once things have tied over.

But if they don't, does that make them less of a friend? Of course, there aren't any hard feelings, but you just wonder if there's something about you that makes them deliberately want to avoid.

This makes me terribly frustrated. If I'm screwed, I do expect someone to tell me. Having a facade only implies the relationship has turned political.

Yet, if I might add, there are others who really have no business in certain places, yet want to probe. It's even worse, when they persist on interrogating people without justification.

Sigh, with friends like these...who needs enemies?

TRAGIC



Find the following:

1) Britney's flabs are bigger than her boobs. (5 marks)

2) A couple of 4kg sac-lke globules that are dangling from her panties. (10 marks)

3) Britney's failure to do the jiggle right. (2 marks)

4) The kind of song she's trying to sing. (1 mark)

5) The look on the rappers' faces. (20 marks)

Hey girls, quit being skinny la. Hollowood's AIRPORK is back with a vengeance!

Divergent world views

It's painfully and terribly ironic, when fellow brothers and sisters in Christ can crack jokes about one's sexuality (albeit in jest), while the people you have been a part of in the secular world (gays, lesbians and all the rest) can actually encourage you to take the vows of priesthood.

Once again...its level-up for the jaded powers that dwell within me.

The thing is, choosing to keep my personal life behind the glare of the ministry has always kept my mind focused on the work of the Lord. It's like holy ground of sorts. Step inside, take off your shoes, confess your sins and serve. Of course, I'm more than happy to reply requests of concern, but beyond that I strongly suggest you mind your own business.

While people can shun vulgarities and actually reprimand the speakers of four letters, there are those who simply, for narrow minded or naive reasons, choose to view singlehood as a disease that needs treatment. And that's when the jokes and suggestions come in.

Seriously, Christians blatantly joking about gay/lesbian or shit are like Buddhist monks talking about karma sutra in front of Buddha's statue!

Like all hot blooded, masturbating and fornicating straight men, I think about sex every 5 minutes. Sometimes I try to push myself to the limit of 7, (I'm truly amazed when you deprive the 'lower brain' of work, the real mind actually has powers one can only dream about). So by the time I can block these urges every 10 minutes, I should be able to walk on water like St. Peter.

Sigh.... the world knows me, but my own kind knew me not.
