Broadened sayings hits and misses


I hate to spread rumours, but what else can one do with them? - Singer Amanda Lear

Miss: Well, you could store them inside you, even if it gives you the most terrible stomach ache….consider it a gift to humanity.

You can't be in a relationship because you were moved. That's like charity -Taiwanese actress Ariel Lin

Hit: What can you say? People are just getting too good at giving those puppy-cute faces and romantic poems which are copied from the internet half the time. You might say they live off charity.

She likes me to have my other life. My dark, gay showbiz life. - Matthew Broderick on what his wife thinks of his friendship with Nathan Lane.

Miss: Wow! I guess your wife also doesn't mind when you try on her latest purchase before she does?

I had a grey hair. Once...I didn't pull it out. I just willed it to go away. - Actress Salma Hayek

Miss: Aww...she's never heard of hair dye!

To be or not to be

My recent book-devouring rampage has led to the discovering of many thought-provoking opinions. Below is one of them...to ponder over.


Isn't that what love is ? Fantasy projection? Ignoring the facts until
you're too committed to get out.


My input: Lachlan Harriot obviously has a very distorted idea of love if facts have to be considered in it. And that he feels love doesn't come with the freedom of walking away when it's over. Then again, i think most of the male population have the same thoughts.

And the following i found in someone's online diary. Quite intruiging.

I remember that strong, possesive feeling, that she was my girl, that no one
could give her this sort of comfort but me.


My input: What do you girls think? You know...possesive can be a very weird feeling. Sometimes, you get mad when a guy is so possesive and you feel this need to break away. Other times, you feel comforted by the fact that someone cares about you so much. I guess we'll have to learn to strike a balance.

Blood Circulation


A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, he said: "Now class, if I stood on my head, the blood as you know, would run into it and I should turn red in the face." "Yes, sir," the class said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in an ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?" A class member shouted, "'Cause your feet ain't empty."

Cheating Wife


A man goes to a shrink and says, "Doctor, my wife is unfaithful to me. Every evening, she goes to Larry's bar and picks up men. In fact, She sleeps with anybody who asks her! I'm going crazy. What do you think I should do?" "Relax," says the Doctor, "take a deep breath and calm down. Now, tell me, exactly where is Larry's bar?"

India wins patent Battle


It may seem entirely ridiculous to you, but the patent being fought over was on neem, which is a tree. Leave it to the Americans to steal one's culture and traditional medicine. They call it bio-piracy...should be called tyranny if you ask me. How can they except someone to pay for neem? Something that Indians have been using for the past centuries and have found beneficial. The moment the Westerners realise its benefits, they go all out to make it theirs. They're the ones making the most money in the commercialising of yoga and ayurved, isn't it? Well..i guess you couldn't blame them for being mean. They got to where they are doing the very same thing...taking from others and calling it theirs. What the rest of the world...especially Asia...has to realise is that unless we start making use of our heritage to our advantage before they do, we'll be the ones paying for our ignorance.

A quote from BBC News: "This victory is the result of extremely long solidarity. It is a victory of committed citizens over commercial interests and big powers."

Trash time

Hopeless singers of the 21st century



1. Hilary Duff

What do you get when you put a high-pitched, squeaky voice and rock music together? Oh...the horror! Add senseless lyrics and mediorce beats to the recipe for your ultimate disaster dish...her debut album, metamorphosis.

2. Lindsay Lohan

Let's just say, some people should just stick to acting.





3. Hanson

I understand that they've been home-schooled and everything but that is no excuse to make music which can't really be placed in a genre and is definitely not of this century. I would definitely applaud those who can bear listening to an entire song of their's...without puking.


4. Will Young

Nothing wrong with his music really. Except for the fact that my grandmother might like to listen to it! Well...i guess every artistes targets different age groups, isn't it. Oh...now it all figures... he got to perform for the Queen and all. ;p
