The 5 Toughest Questions a Woman Can Ask a Man
The questions are:

What are you thinking about?
Do you love me?
Do I look fat?
Do you think she is prettier than me?
What would you do if I died?

What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly (i.e tells the truth). Therefore, as a public service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible responses.

Question # 1: What are you thinking about?

The proper answer to this, of course, is: "I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you." This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following:

Baseball.
Football.
How fat you are.
How much prettier she is than you.
How I would spend the insurance money if you died.
(Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg, "If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!")

Question # 2: Do you love me?

The proper response is: "YES!" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, "Yes, dear." Inappropriate responses include:

I suppose so.
Would it make you feel better if I said yes?
That depends on what you mean by love.
Does it matter?
Who, me?

Question # 3: Do I look fat?

The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!" Among the incorrect answers are:

Compared to what?
I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin.
A little extra weight looks good on you.
I've seen fatter.
Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question # 4: Do you think she's prettier than me?

Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!"

Incorrect responses include:

Yes, but you have a better personality
Not prettier, but definitely thinner
Not as pretty as you, when you were her age
Define 'pretty'
Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question #5: What would you do if I died?

A definite no-win question. (The real answer, or course, is "Buy a Corvette.")

No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along the these lines:

She....Would you get married again?
He.....Definitely not!
She....Why not - don't you like being married?
He.....Of course I do.
She....Then why wouldn't you remarry?
He.....Okay, I'd get married again.
She....You would? (With a hurtful look on her face)
He.....Yes, I would.
She....Would you sleep with her in our bed?
He.....Where else would we sleep?
She....Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her?
He.....That would seem like the proper thing to do.
She....And would you let her use my golf clubs?
He.....She can't use them; she's left-handed.

FUCK
Modified by A.J. Looney

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word "fuck". It is the magical word which, just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate.

In language, "fuck" falls into many Grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was Fucked by John).

It can be an action verb (John really gives a fuck), a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a fuck), and adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John), or as a noun (Mary is a terrific fuck).

It can also be used as an interjection (Fuck! I'm late for my date with Mary). It can even be ued as a conjunction (Mary is easy, fuck she's also stupid).

As you can see there are very words with the overall versitility of the word fuck. Aside from its sexual connotations, this word can be used to describe many situations:

1. Greetings........."How the fuck are ya?"
2. Fraud............."I got fucked by the car dealer."
3. Resignation......."Oh, fuck it!"
4. Trouble..........."I guess I'm fucked now."
5. Agression........."FUCK YOU!"
6. Disgust..........."Fuck me."
7. Confusion........."What the fuck?"
8. Displeasure......."Fucking shit man..."
9. Lost.............."Where the fuck are we?"
10.Disbelief........."UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!!"
11.Retaliation......."Up your fucking ass!"
12.Apathy............"Who really gives a fuck?"
13.Suspicion........."Who the fuck are you?"
14.Directions........"Fuck off."
15.Anger............."Go fuck yourself"
16.Errors............"That's pretty fucked up!"
17.Ineptness........."He's a fuck-up."

It can be maternal........"MOTHERFUCKER!!"

It can be used to tell time......." It's four fucking twenty!"

It can be used as an anatomical description............."He's a fucking asshole."

Lastly, it has been used by many notable people throughout history:

"What the fuck was that?" - Mayor of Hiroshima

"That's not a real fucking gun." - John Lennon

"Where the fuck is all this water coming from?" - Captain of the Titanic

"Who the fuck is gonna find out?" - Richard Nixon

"Heads are gonna fucking roll." - Anne Boleyn

"Any fucking idiot could answer that." - Albert Einstein

"It does so fucking look like her!" - Picasso

"You want what on the fucking ceiling?" - Michaelangelo

"Fuck a duck." - Walt Disney

"Houston we have a big fucking problem." - The crew of Apollo 13

an old story.. that i remember our young principal from TJC did a live demo during assembly one weds... i was always impressed how much effort she put in .. be it bring the golf balls or sand.. her live presentation made me remember it till today..

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...and the coffee...

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, " I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things-your God, your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions-things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.The sand is everything else-the small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal." Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."


so dear friends? who's up for a cup of coffee? :)

fine.. some comments are meant to be kept to oneself.. but i just cannot help thinking aloud. but i dun think anyone cares as wat i think.. cos i dun matter much anyway in the first place.. its other's pple stuff.. so why should i even bother.. then again. being that un-bzbody is not my nature.. its realy a personally opinion.. bz body or caring..lol silly isnt it..

this is not the first time this thing is happening to me.. and this time. its happening twice at once.. perhaps that really speaks abt wats wrong...with me. :(
i am guessing..that its my old problem..

but so i go home everyday. wondering why doesnt it change. and somehow i hope it will not.. cos it doesnt seem to matter anymore. if there is no big fuss, why should i? and why am i writing this? cos it just doesnt make sense to me.

i should just learn to leave pple alone and keep quiet.

hhaa.. finally the website looks decent..

- i wonder if its will be good.. but i hear the lao fu zi 's creator's son will be here..nice!

Yesterday was earth day. today is the death anniversary of willian shakespeare. he passed away in April 23rd 1616. thats pretty long isnt it? 392 years to be more specific. perhaps not so famous in his time, but now fondly remembered by his famous works othello, romeo and juliet, must ado about nothing, macbeth, midsummer nights dream, and my fav..lol julius caesar. et tu brute?

the guy prob never noe his works would be studied by so many. but how many of us would do so much in a lifetime enough to leave behind a legacy. if u aint famous, a bastard or rich, prob u wun be know around the world..lol.. perhaps we will just end up as a capsule floating in space..

dun really noe wat to write.. was feeling quite bothered for a while. dun noe wat to expect for my new job.. dunnoe nuts about cars.. i confuse mazdas from hyundais and cannot tell bmws from mercs.. jia late right... wat the hell am i going to do.. will getting this job make me an expert in cars? ..lol i sure hope so.. but i think i will have to put in TONs of work on reading.. and maybe going on test drives..lol.. i have no freaking idea wat will happen man.. really no idea..
i shall leave the story of how uefa and epl works to another day.

some day ur little dream will come true >.<

its final! i am making a move. into a dynamic publishing house to experience the wonders of marketing cars, football and maybe golf! and they actually like my marketing report!! >.< so happy..best of all the marketing manager insists: As long as you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach.. v nice lady. looking forward to working with her v soon!

so next time u see this mag on the newstand near u.. take a look at the editorial page k? my name could be there v soon!.. weee >.<

im having monday blues and a terrible flu..
hope ur day is better. heres a few things that may just cheer u up!

http://www.acrylicana.com/

she is also selling items on etsy, which is having a promo on free delivery worldwide! so if u like her cute items.. lol.. check them out here soon~

i am totally not sure if its joke played on me.. or perhaps its just fate.
just when i was congratuating my collegue on his talent being realised and that the good opprotunity not somthing that happens often and may have long lasting effect, i got the call from regent media.. that made me felt lost for a while.
i had submitted a marketing ppt only 10 pages long. when i was given 20 pages. and i only did my press release like.. 1 hr b4 date of submission. one thing i learn from the event was that ..yes press releases can be done last min, u will regret for not making full use of the 20 pages u have been give, a maketing ad must always be backed by a marketing plan. the rational. things probaby i dun learn in sch. and that if u got talent. all u need is someone to appreciate it.. doesnt matter if the pple around u dun understand. then again. i was beinging to feel at home at the current company. the people are nice. the bosses are persuasive..then wat are we missing here? i dun noe.. guess pple are never satisfied

i asked many pple. ex collegue, ex ex collegues, current collegues. many keep asking me whether i was happy. its just an idea of going. entertaining that idea become so dangerous until one day it come true. i cannot remember wat prompt me to go for interviews. probaby money and career.. i remember thinking to myself. everyone is doing so well.. why am i here? fresh grads are getting 30% more than me.. and knowing my boss. after this payrise. i will not be getting one anytime soon. i am greedy. but i also know i must learn as much as possible, get as much as possible while i am young, while i do not have obligations of a family, while i still can take risks...
hopefully its a right decision, maybe there is no right or wrong. making a career move is normal. but i haven been in one long enough to know that ...

now as i list down the stuff i prob have to take care of mean time. it seems like quite a bit
- yahoo/google account update
- bca event.shri event
- standees
- brochures
- new product box
- pictures of sites.
