Watched Transformers Revenge of the Fallen last weekened (when most of the noisy kids were gone) and it was a so-so experience to me; cool effects, funny robots, explosions, and fight scenes (between robots) but rather shallow story. It was clear that Michael Bay distract moviegoers with kick-ass transforming effects and battle gears to the fact that the plot was as shallow as the sea-bed where Megatron lies (and resurrected).
Then the real distractions came when Megan Fox was doing some "painting" with the motorcycle (Shia was some lucky bastard).
I was surfing the net for some nutritional stuff when I came across this askmen.com page where there's this topic about "10 Reasons Why Women Love Vampires" and immediately thought about the twilight hysteria and why it endures (New Moon biting this November).
It took me five months to realize I was subconsciously researching these reasons and after reading AskMen's answers, well, I didn't know I was that keen observer. And for the record not all Men wanted to be Vampires just because of the girls or the popularity; most mortal boys think its just plain disturbing to be feeding blood for food...
10 Reasons Why Women Love Vampires
10. Vampires are Loners
Vampires work alone. They don’t have many friends, and if they do, they are usually out doing their own thing. Women love vampires because they have all the time in the world. Literally.
9. No Commitment during the Day
Women love vampires because vampires can’t take up the entirety of a woman’s day. Hell, they can’t even stay that late into the night. Sleepovers only last until the sun is coming up and vampires are nowhere to be found until the sun goes down.
8. Vampires are Stylish
Ever seen a poorly dressed vampire? Never. Vampires are always impeccably dressed with perfect hair and a nice complexion. Their fashionable (and usually dark) duds show off just the right amount of chest. A nice pair of skin-tight pants and an occasional ascot or medallion completes the look. They usually look better dressed than the living and thankfully, most have dropped the cape.
7. Vampires Love Necks
Woman love sex. Honestly. But what they love even more is all the fooling around that should be involved before sex. As we all know, men just like to get down to business -- but not vampires. They don’t even really care about sex. They want to mess around. Particularly around the neck area -- the “sweet spot” as it’s known around the coffins.
They know how to start off tender and soft and then get a little rough. Rough enough to draw blood. Kinky.
6. Moody Vampires
Women beg to differ, but they honestly do like the occasional hint of drama in a relationship. It keeps things fresh and exciting. This is perfect for the vampire, whose mood is constantly changing. You’d be pissed too if people wanted you dead and all you’ve had to eat for a couple centuries is some blood and the occasional taste of plasma. It’s not the greatest life to lead. Good thing they’ve got all the female attention to keep things bearable.
5. Persuasive Creatures
Vampires have a calming demeanor. They are suave, smooth and soft-spoken, and the women eat it up. They convince the smart and savvy women that their odd behavior is on the up-and-up. They even convince them it’s cool to suck blood.
4. Vampires Search "Forever" for Her
Woman love to think they were destined to be with one man for the rest of their lives (blame the Fairy Tales, Fairy Godmother in particular). They love the romantic angle of a soul mate -- two people destined to meet, fall in love and be together forever. Now imagine that man is just as eager to find her and has been searching for untold centuries. It knocks a woman off her feet like a silver bullet through the heart. When a vampire sinks his teeth (figuratively) into a woman, he makes her feel like the only woman in the world.
3. Vampires are Romantic
Give those dead, bloodsucking bastards credit: they know how to romance the pants off a woman. The setting is always dark and mysterious and the atmosphere is just right for doing something dirty. The full moon seems to follow them wherever they go. One of the reasons women love vampires is that they know how to pull all the tricks to make the setting perfect.
Also working to their advantage is that they don’t do much talking to ruin the moment (They’ve also had years of practice).
2. Vampires are Powerful
Vampires exude two types of power. The first is the raw, physical power. The vampire is always in phenomenal shape; it must be the low carbs/high blood diet and tons of sleep. The second type of power is mental. He's usually a manipulative bastard who can match brains as much as brawn. This amazing one-two combo is a major reason women love vampires. Moreover, it’s almost impossible to kill a vampire. You think he’s dead? Nope. Still not dead (Where the Hell is Buffy?!).
1. Vampires are the Ultimate Bad
Women love bad boys. Now mix in the fact that a vampire is searching for eternal love and needs a woman to survive; you’ve got yourself the ultimate bad boy. He answers to no one, lives by his own rules, wears nice clothes, and is hated by millions of living people. He is the man her mother warned her about except with more guy-liner and lip gloss than either of them could have ever predicted. He isn’t just bad, he’s dead. Beat that!
I've got a problem and it’s serious. It seems that I cannot stay to a single spot once I have experienced them. Like last year i thought I found my place in Photography but just after purchasing my camera and did some awesome shots, the feeling was gone. When I was about 7 I used to make Comic strips and I can tell in my current age now that they were pretty amazing considering I'm so young back then, when I try to recapture that 'comic' era, I feel so forced, so empty, and so sad. I guess that Comic kid was long time gone.
Baseball too; it was the only sport I can say I am bloody brilliant and natural. This ever-changing jinx had me troubles in Music, I dunno what genre I am. I went to study Wushu but after the brutal sessions and sparring, all my interest gone. Same with Playstation, Karaoke, Bars, Kite flying, and even to this Blog (which is 50/50)
And as though it wasn't enough, Personal life's affected too. I'm scared to hook up because I know the feeling won't last and don't want to hurt feelings because I don't think I can live happily ever after. My interests were intense but short-lived as I realize. How can I live a normal life when one second I have a different perspective? I often wondered why am I like this, Was it a result of my extensive observation of the world? In short, I am currently LOST in the sea of possibilities; anxious to miss all the good things that I take them all with one single swerve--at my cost.
Unlike most of my contemporaries, I don't take high concern for the flesh entertainment (e.g. buying Men's magazines just to know how incompetent they are in bed, or penis enlargement pills, stuff like premature ejaculation and other BULLSHIT most men are up nowadays) Good lord! what about Global Warming, The Financial Crisis, North Korean Satellite launch, AH1N1, and other pre-apocalypse arrangements to kill us all?. Haha, that's why they don't relate to me because I've got different (and often weird) concerns and grandpa-like world views. Well I guess that's just me.
Anyway, only one cover girl had caught my attention and actually made me come to a halt staring at the magazine stand, transfixed with admiration to Christine Reyes.
She is so damn S.E.X.Y. I dunno I don't see this with other covergirls but I think her "innocent" aura impacted the BIG difference. Sure, most covergirls have big boobs, sexy figure, and almost naked arses but what sets Christine Reyes apart from all these skanks is, I'M NOT REALLY SURE. I guess its the male's preference and damn it, I think for the first time I have become like my contemporaries as the 2009 result for the sexiest woman in PH unveiled the sexy Ms. Christine Reyes as this years SEXIEST SH*T. Cheers! (Gotta see her in person)
I found some video with our winner chick in a "dramatic and artistic" scene with some lucky bastard:
