Twilight

The second movie of the Twilight series is currently filming in my city. Giving in to the heavy endorsements of the first movie by friends, I caved and read the first book of the series over the weekend. They were right - vampire can be so hot, sexy and desirable. I melted in a puddle of hopeless romanticism after reading about how heroic Edward was and how much he loves Bella - awwww..... I too wish to have a hero who loves me eternally and rescue this damsel when she is in distressed (instead of having to pick myself up).

p.s. Robert Pattinson - call me.

Silver lining

I am not getting a bonus nor a pay increase this year but at least I scored a free month of pass at the local yuppie gym. I will be ignoring the dark cloud while staring into the silver lining like a little kitty drawn to a shiny object.

The reason I got the pass was to check out the male patrons at the yuppie gym. It was as if the universe is saying "come come come on over". Haha.

Watch out male yuppie gym-ers, don't hurt yourself when I break out the "stretch".

LSC

Love, support, and cookie - according to Steve Harvey, those are the only three things one needs in a relationship (at least from the male perspective).

I must admit I agree with Mr. Harvey more so especially after a long and challenging day at work. I don't need to come home to more nagging and third degree interrogation. All I need after a long day of hard work is love, support and maybe some cookie (if I am awake). So dear men, I hear ya - the next one that comes into my life will be showered with love and support plus cookie (if I think you're deserving and don't annoy me too much).

Bathroom humour

I shall take a brief break from grace to share this with you what I learnt at dinner this evening (yeah - trust me IT is that good).

Men are like toilets. The good ones are taken. The ones that stay with you are the ones who take your shit.

Just another observation

Just another observation - I pass no judgement.

Walking to my yoga class after work today, I walked pass a male who had on lipstick and a floral top. That is not unusual in this single-female-unfriendly city that I live in. What puzzled me was that the male had obvious chin hair - one would logically think to remove chin hair before applying lipstick - no?

Shoes

Girls love shoes - that is a given. Do girls judge guys by the shoes they wear? I do recall conversations about men footwear and how the girls do judge the men by their shoes. Yesterday on my way home, I spotted one guy in Uggs and another in shoes with lifts! My oh my - what would the shoe-girls say about these two fellows?

Standards

Friends and relatives who have found their plus ones often suggest that perhaps the reason that I am without a plus one is due to the fact that my standards are way too high. Too high? I only hope to meet a plus one who shares my values and outlook in life, whom I am attracted to - someone just like me who is male. If they think this is too much to ask for, then they must think either not think much of me or think too highly of me.

Snoogle me happy

Dear Snoogle-maker,

Why oh why do you market your snooglies to the preggers only? I think you have an excellent product which has a wide appeal - thus stop limiting your products only to a specific niche market. The solo sleeper who needs some warmth & snuggly at night but are not blessed with a co-bedder can really use the comfort provided by your product, the snoogle.

Oh yeah, can you make stripes or polka dots cover as well (or at least something prettier)?

Snoogling zzzzzz....

RECESSISON

"RECESSISON" spotted on the t-shirts worn by the bartenders at the Hudson Bar. I thought that was a clever play on word. I must admit I did enjoy my stay at the Hudson and my late evenings spent dancing at the bar. What intrigued me was the kinky shower in the room - the shower visible through the glass window to the bedroom. How fun it could have been? Sigh - my prudeness got the better of me.

Gossip Men

Overheard at the neighbourhood drugstore today, two grown male employees of the store gossiping about a May-December couple in the store.

Male Employee 1: Is that the older sister or the mom?
Male Employee 2: They have the same look.
Male Employee 1: Whatever it is - she is doing him in the bedroom for sure.
Male Employee 2: Well, good for her - err and him too.

I was trying very hard to contain my laughter. Very nice to know that men gossip too.

Ooh Damn

Dear guys,

Listen to Ne-Yo - he's the man. I'm impressed with his suave ways.

Age rule: Divide by 2 Plus 7

I was thrilled when yoga teacher extraordinaire, Chris Chavez, gave me permission to knock off eight years from my real age for doing a pose at the yoga workshop. Yippee - I'm under 25 again!

Well, the point of this post is not exactly to toot my own yogic horn but to ponder the question of age - does age really matter in mates? Based on the age rule of divide by two plus seven, my dating age range is between 23 and 50. Funny enough, I had been (sorta) asked out by a 24 year old as well as a 49 year old in the past six months.

Out dancing in the City last Friday, I was in awe of the dancing prowess and physical hotness of my dancing partner of that evening. Lo & behold my dancing partner whom I thought was around my age turned out to be 49! I was floored when he revealed his age to me. Me being me, of course, proceeded to ask "OMG - you don't look your age at all. I thought you are way younger. Did you have any work done?"

The City

I'm off to the City (as in the city of SATC) with two super fun ladies. Totally stoked and absolutely ready to rock it out. Hopefully yours truly will return with many tales of adventures from the City.

Yes, I did pack my stretching pants :P

Guys - these are the places you should go

Hey Single Guys

If you are interested in meeting lots of fun-loving and fit girls, these are the places you should go:

1) Yoga classes - girls are zen-out and totally friendly
2) Capoeira - girls who are open to experiencing different world culture
3) Salsa dance classes - girls with rhythm (& you know what they say about girls who can dance)

That's my tip of the day for guys. Now go and explore!

Bachelor

It's been years since I last watched an episode of the tv dating show, the Bachelor. Tonight I caught the last 15 minutes of the show and disappointedly Mr. Bachelor dumped fellow Vancouverite Jillian (the reason I tuned into the show tonight). The reason he gave her was that she has an amazing life of her own? Huh? So, a girl who knows how to have an amazing life without a man is deemed undesirable, Mr. Bachelor? Wow - dude, you totally don't deserve the fine ladies from Vancouver then.

Vancouver is known to have a breed of fine ladies who are fully capable of living fun-filled amazing lives of their own - with or without guys because there is a serious shortage of eligible single men in this city. So dear single eligible men of the world, please come to Vancouver if you want to meet some fine young ladies.

Just not that into you

Boy danced the night away with Girl at the club to the crooning of Barry White. Boy kissed Girl at the end of the night. But Boy didn't give Girl his phone number - therefore it was concluded that Boy was just not that into Girl. Girl ended kiss abruptly and ran away from Boy (so that she didn't miss her ride home) - therefore it was concluded that Girl was just not that into Boy.

There you go - Boy and Girl just wanted to have a little PG fun dancing away that night (nothing more).

V-day

Happy Valentine's Day!

Yours truly has no special romantic interest to shower love on - so, to everyone out there, much love from me to you! (Now pay it forward...maybe it'll makes its way back to me)

Seriously did those words just pour out from me? Or was that courtesy of all those different shooters from last night?

Cheat

SG: I don't understand why people here are so critical of those who cheat. People in Asia do it all the time. I don't see anything wrong with it.

BB: Umm....I guess my puritan beliefs are seriously out of date. I don't mean to be judgmental but I just don't think hurtful actions like cheating is of any good or benefit to anyone.

Is my belief that cheating is hurtful really that out-of-date? Am I too naive to still want to have faith in that people will do the right thing?

Is it just a number?

Pre checking out Jesus of Madonna's boytoy fame

The minimum age of the guy one should date is divide your age by two plus seven.

During a Friday afternoon chat at work:

BB: There was a new guy at my yoga class yesterday. He was kinda cute.
SO: Did you do the gaze & smile?
BB: No, I'm too shy.
SO: Well, next time cute guy comes to class, pull up your mat next to his and start stretching.
BB: Seriously?
SO: Yes, stretching works every time at my gym - even with the gay men. Let me show you.
SO proceeded to demonstrate this "yoga" move which guarantees success.
BB: I have never done that pose in yoga. It looks more burlesque.
SO: Trust me, this works - try it next time at your gym.

Dear guys - If you see me bust into spontaneous stretching maneuver, don't fret. It's just that I may be a little into you. (Hmm...or maybe you would fret).
