New York, I Love you: Sex

This is yet another interesting story about 2 person who met via a fortuitous encounter at a bar where they went to have sex with each other.



So, as the story goes, they both met in a bar and then they make-out at an apartment. Before the scene above, the guy was walking 30 blocks to the bar while the girl was on a train to the bar. Both of them were pondering over that night they spent together.


They were both unclear about the ambiguous nature of the night and that whether they were drunk or something.


The girl mentioned a salient point, "We both don't know each other and we know that right from the start, we are not each other's type. But, that night, we both played into it. It was more than just sex. We entered a new zone and we both played into it."



There are sexual scenes displayed but of course, it is more of an art. It does not depict sex as degrading. Conversely, it showcases how that night brought them so much closer and that it left them both ruminating about it.


The point here is that they both knew they were not meant for each other right from the start.


Does this occur to you all the time? Do you ever wonder if he/she is the right one for you? Is he/she your style? Do you think you can live with him all your life?


Well, we tend to give this thought process a long and detailed consideration but at the end of the day, this analyse is futile, in vain. Reason being, we will never be able to fathom love per se and that no amount of analyse will do.


You can be prepared to go into a relationship with the most fanciful proposal and compromise and it will still not work out.



On the other hand, 2 people from the two extreme end of the world can actually meet up and love each other deeply and it might just be perennial.


More often than not, we judge couples along the road.


Why is she with a guy like him?


What does he like about her?


I think I make a much better candidate man.



All these baseless remarks are emanated from the roots of jealousy within us. Not being able to find our true love, we criticise and hopefully we can make ourselves feel better.


However, in actual fact, are we devoided of love and thus have an empty hole within?


The truth is, love is unpredictable and that you should never judge or analyse love beyond a certain point because you just do not know what you are in for.


Yep, I have come to the end of my interpretation of the movie, hope you have enjoyed reading them! Do drop your comments if you have any other thoughts once you have watched the movie.

Remember, it's called New York, I love you



Starhub's idiotic bills

Today is a bad bad day


Starhub almost ripped me off $82.90.





I was charged 289.20 for my data usage but I only used a mere 71MB and I am actually under the 1GB Blackberry Premium Data Plan for your information!


Look at the details of the plan




It's supposed to be a mere $13.93 a month and yet they managed to charge me $82.90


And what's an even more egregious mistake is that the cap limit is supposed to be at $36.38


Isn't this flagrant enough?


Seriously, they should fire these people at the billing department. Their accounts are really bad.


Are they from poly or something? No offence


I'm really in this irascible mood right now. Anything in the world can disgust me.


The worst part is that they did not even say that they are going to compensate me or anything.


So irresponsible.

You are not mistaken.


The tradings of Warren Buffett's stock Berkshire Hathaway was gargantuan in volume last Friday as a huge amount of convulsion was built up by the entire world.


It was really intense but at the same time, many experts predicted that such a scenario will happen.


If you had studied Economics, you should be familiar with the price elasticity of demand right?


In the past, the stock was definitely elastic (it's almost a prerogative to own it). Everyone wants it and the demand is definitely high. But the problem is that only a few could afford it because it was priced at a skyrocketing amount.


Now, it is so much cheaper, which in turn transforms the stock into an inelastic demand stock whereby any change of price will not be too much of a concern for other people now that it is cheap.


But this is a rather special case for Warren Buffett's stock. Even though it's priced at a way lower price than before (2% of the original price), people will still be scrutinizing its daily trading because it has the potential to rise to an all new high again!


As you can see, JDS Uniphase is still holding on to the top position with a total trade volume of $27.7 billion. Remember the 1990s Internet boom? Where the volume of chips, computers and processors surge like no one's business?


That was the period when technology stocks flew up the rooftop with a BANG!


What's ironic here is that Warren Buffett has never ever believe in technology stocks because he thinks that they are just a fad.


Which is to say, it is volatile and is not sustainable at all because it's way too fast paced and ambiguous.


If you had noticed, till now, Warren Buffett does not own a single technology stock.


He never really dwell much into the business of Intel or IBM if you realised.


Despite having a panoply of business, he's constantly scrutinizing the operations of every single business under him.


For instance, look at the recent drama (Kraft purchasing Cadbury) Irene Rosenfeld has created.


To be honest, Warren Buffett believes that she had overpaid Cadbury stockholders and that the interest of Kraft's shareholders has been damaged.


Nonetheless, Irene's confidence level has not been emasculated one bit as she bulldozed her proposal all the way through, for a total of 5 strenuous months.


This is a great proof of the fact that Warren never let any business he owns run wild.


What's so peculiar about him is that he always aim to be the biggest shareholder of a company he invest in so that he can manipulate the acquisitions in one way or another.


Afterall, the public never fails to relentlessly tag behind Warren Buffett in every single investment he made.


Now that they can own his stock, everyone must be delirious with joy because it is almost like a sure win lottery.


You bet on it and you are guranteed a profit.


It's better than investing in bonds!

New York, I Love you: Age

This is a story about an old couple, walking along the streets, celebrating their 63rd anniversary together.



The above picture is the culmination of 63 years of consistent love for one another.

Before this, they were chronically bickering with one another, yelling at one another.

Here's one conversation they had.


Man: Is there some place you're gonna get to later? What is your hurry?

Lady: My hurry is that I want to get there before next week. At the rate you walk

Man: You want faster? Divorce me! And get yourself a younger man.Tom Cruise perhaps.

Lady: You think you are funny?


Man: I do as a matter of fact.

Lady: And what will you do, Mr Smarty Pants, I'm so independent I don't need any help opening the pickle jar.

Man: I got caught in the pickle.

Lady: Hmm, you will still be putting on your jacket if it wasn't for me.




It was seriously hilarious, I was laughing all the way throughout this story.

It was extremely interesting and by the way, they had more bickering sessions, the above is only one of which. You will seriously laugh your ass off man!

Well, back to the point of love. As you can see palpably from the story. It is about perennial love even till death. How many of us can actually sustain love with a partner for so long? Divorce rates are so high these days, more than 30% among couples. Even amidst those that are still married, most of them are de facto not talking to each other or not even cohabiting with one another.

As a matter of fact, bickering does add vitality and vibrancy to your love life. However, you should never take it too seriously. Bickering can be made fun and enjoyable between couples. They will bring them closer together after each fight and their love life will be brought to a whole new level.




There's nothing too particular you have to worry about. Just giving and taking will help sustain a love life forever.

More often than not, people are not really serious when it comes to arguements. But, couples misunderstood each other and thought that the other party was seriously into it. When they clear things up, they really see the point of the view of the other that was once obfuscated by the cloud of assumptions they made about each other.


So, do not take arguements seriously, bickering is just a way of life.


Enjoy it while you can as they can add serious sparks and colours to your love life!

*Fashion Icon: Christine Centenera


 

Christine Centenera has been popping up on professional Street Style Blogs quite a bit. She began her career working for Cosmopolitan Magazine and now divides her time between her role as Fashion Director and freelance stylist for Australian Harper`s Bazaar.
What I like about her style the most is that she combines her elegance chic look with an edgy touch; like combining classy pieces with sharp shoulders, studs and pastels.  Like a true patriot she`s wearing pieces from Australian designers combined with high fashion designers.

New York, I love You: Handicap

The next story will be about a guy who is going for his senior prom night but he has a problem. His girlfriend just broke up with him and his girlfriend is Blake Lively by the way!

Anyway, he has to find a replacement and this pharmaceutician suggested that he could take his daughter to prom instead.




As you can see, to the guy's dismay, his daughter is actually handicapped and sitting on a wheelchair.


The guy decided to bring her daughter to prom nonetheless although she's handicapped. He did not mind that she was handicapped.


There were many embarassing moments at the prom as people were flagrantly staring at him and his partner in wheelchair.

The weird thing is, when people asked for her name. She will just say, "Make a Wish."

Then, after the night, his limousine was stolen so the girl suggested that they walk to the nearby park to have a chat.




She knew that he wanted to have sex on the prom night so she said, "Make a Wish."

The next moment, she threw a belt over the branch of the tree and she held the two ends of the belt, lifting herself in mid air.





Then, she asked him to have sex with her and he gladly obligated.


Soon, it was morning and he has totally forgotten that the pharmaceutician asked him to bring her back by midnight so he dashed all the way back as you can see from the first picture back to her house.


Here's the shocking part, as they reached her doorstep, she stood up and began walking into her house, ending up with a wink at the guy.


The guy was utterly shocked and amazed.


Truly mind-boggling right? Usually, the guy will castigate the girl for doing that because he had just suffered an ignominious retreat because of her mischievous act.

However, in this case, it was a unique experience, probably a prom that will never come again.

Going to prom with a handicapped girl with all eyes staring at you. How much courage do you need to do that?

But, as you probably can conclude, it is merely a prom, how about people who constantly have the outside world staring at them 24/7 round the clock?


Are you guilty of scoffing at people who goes out with the handicapped people? Have you ever questioned their love for each other?




Not easy to deny eh?


How accepting is our society today? The acerbic environment compels us to find a partner of worthy qualifications with a high-flying career or we will be embarassed whenever it comes to introduction.


But is that love? Has the constant search for fame and money make us lose our head? Is the essence of love lost already?


Are we finding a love-partner or an object that we can gladly show off to others?


Will you love still love him/her even after he/she has been met up with an accident and is handicapped for life?


the tents.

"bryant park put the term 'the tents' on the map and gave them a whole new meaning-one of unparalleled glamour and prestige that will forever be an intregal part of fashion history."
