The missing ingredient of my blog..

Being new at blogging, I never really knew what 'ingredients' would make or define a good blog. A good friend of mine pointed out that a blog would not really be a blog if it didn't have any pictures. I myself have had good laughs reading posts with pictures and captions and instantly knew that my post had to be of Isabelle, my baby sister because those are the ones that never fail to make me laugh/put a smile on my face.

This is what happens when you let your older brother feed u ice-cream. Muahahaha.

WHY IS MY BARBIE HELD TOGETHER BY A SATAY STICK?

Haha, this pose was so one-of-a-kind I couldn't figure out a name for it. :)

This is Isabelle after 3 cans of beer. Haha.

Hope you guys enjoyed it. :) Btw, Isabelle's 6 this year but I dont know how long it'll take for me to face reality and stop calling her my 'baby' sister. Let's just hope she doesn't grow up too fast.

What would you do...

Imagine this..

You are standing at the entrance of a hall which is going to be filled with let's say 300+ strangers and they are all here to attend a 3 hour lecture. Half the seats are already taken and you walk right in trying to look for familiar faces knowing the chances of you finding one is close to zilch. What do you do when you fail to find a familiar face? Well, I saw 2 choices.

Of course, guys being guys, the first thing I tried to do was to look for a good-looking girl or what my friends and i call a 'chun chick'.. Lol I don't know if that would be the best of ideas because it would mean that I'd be paying more attention to her than what I came for, the lecture. I dropped that silly idea of mine and tried thinking of a better one. ( but I think i regretted that decision a little ) haha.. anyway, moving on...

The second idea that came out of this tiny little thing I call a brain was to look for a friendly face..someone that would strike conversations and crack jokes even when he/she isn't encouraged. I mean, why not make a new friend and try to make the 2 hours feel shorter right?

The big problem was, how do I decide if a person has an approachable or anti-social face? The person that I saw smiling at himself may have either been approachable or having mental images of a lunatic.. The girl who looked like she needed someone to put her smile on her face may have been the friendliest of people but had a natural n-shaped mouth. something like that --> :( Would it be fair to just judge them based on their looks?

How was I gonna choose who to be stuck with for the next 2 hours? Well, I decided to take a seat at random and spent the 2 hours thinking what I would do differently the next time I faced the same situation. What would you have done?

The end of my blogging virginity..

Had a hard time thinking of the title to my first blog post which could have easily been " My First Blog Post " but i ended up with the above..

To start off, I would like to confess that I actually have a great liking for a number of blogs that never fail to entertain or enlighten me but never saw myself starting one.. But here i am.. ending that blogging virginity of mine..

I don't know if this is the best idea but I'd like to blog about a 'phenomenon' which I've heard many weird descriptions of. Here are the ones that sounded particularly interesting..

"It's like someone scraping your insides with a metal spoon"
"If u haven't felt it, u don't know the real spelling of P-A-I-N"
"Feels like a thousand elephants rushing through your insides"

That's right, I'm sure if you're a girl, you would have figured out that I am talking about the menstrual pain/cramps that you girls go through once every month.. I don't know why but I came up with a theory which explains why guys don't get menstrual pain..Lol. of course this theory doesn't have anything to do with the difference in human anatomy between the two sexes.

What some people do not see is that women are in fact compensated for their menstrual pains with the privileges that they get from guys..Doesn't "let me carry your books/open the door/buy ur dinner for you" sound like a i-hear-it-everyday thing for the girls? Maybe it being an i-hear-it-everyday thing is a bit of an exaggeration but I hope you get what i mean there..

That's the reason why us guys don't go through that torturous process that girls go through, we don't get that privileges.. Lol hopefully all this makes sense and I hope that girls would ackowledge this and bear in mind that they are getting something nice in return for all that pain..haha not that i know if it's worth since I haven't been through it.. :)

It's always a joy trying something new and I hope the end of this 'virginity' would be the start of more interesting posts to come.. Till then.
