~May Your Light Shine :D~

Wow, I can't believe it has been one week since I last posted... You can say my enthusiasm wore off for a while. But I was busy... busy being bored...haha... On a break now from my job, something most of my friends are totally envious of, but it ends on 11 Apr and till then I would have had approximately one month of no work. NO WORK = NO PAY. Sigh... Now I understand a little how jobless people feel, at least I'm spared the burden of having to support a family, instead I have become a liability to mine =(...

Ok, let me tell you how I have been occupying my time so far, basically I'm hooked onto the computer and watching as much anime as possible (currently at my 145th episode of prince of tennis :P) being a girl, most guys are shocked to know I watch anime like hunter x hunter and absolutely love it!

Somehow shounan is more likeable than shoujo, to me - for those who aren't in the know how, shounan is the word used to describe anime/manga that appeals more to guys with their masculine themes ie blood, gore and loads of fighting, whereas shoujo is for anime/manga that is about girl power, romance, spice, sugar and everything nice.

Dun get me wrong, I am not an advocate for violence, in fact I abhor it, but hearing girls whine every other episode about their boyfriends can get on my nerves. Also, most shoujo portray girls as helpless, brainless creatures with probably their looks as their only redeeming feature. Being a pro-feminist, it is obvious I take insult at such a generalization but then again it seems that some if not most guys go for helpless, brainless, good looking girls for a girlfriend.

My only reason for such a phenomenon is that guys need to feel superior to their girlfriends and enjoy playing the knight in shining armour to the damsel in distress which smart women often aren't. Also, a guy's ego is extremely important to him and he will not enjoy having a girlfriend beating him in any area. Perhaps there are guys who would beg to differ, in that case, why would an intelligent and fairly attractive girl like me be still unattached?

ok...kidding... dun get me wrong cuz I am NOT trying to act desperate here but rather stating things as a matter of fact (at least I'm not that thick-skinned to go so far as to say I'm gorgeous) ... then again I enjoy being single (less worries, I have enough to deal with...) so well thanks to everyone for letting me air my views over this matter... I believe there will be people who will disagree with me and some who will nod their heads in agreement, whatever the case, everyone is entitled to their own opinion right?

I think I have said enough for today, anyway for any of your who have visited this site, I hope your are not running into any problems viewing it, if you are, please try to leave a comment somewhere so I can correct any problems.
