Kana Tsugihara: Fantasy teacher

Kana Tsugihara [Tsugihara Kana 次原 かな], born 25. Aug 1984, is a Japanese model. I saw some of her pics today and I particularly liked the one with the glasses. That made me think about a certain group that many people have a crush on. But more about that later, first enjoy Kana's beautiful pics:

I suppose you have already guessed the group I was talking about: teachers. Why do so many people have a crush on this group? Maybe it's because we all go to school and look up to them, admire their knowledge and their ability to convey it to us. We become teenagers and start to fantasize about them, because they're always there, every day. And some really looked good, even if they were much older than us. Why is that so? And have you ever had a crush on a teacher?

Love: Teenage dreams vs. adult expectations

A great thing about being an adult is that you become more stable when it comes to love and expectations. I'm now in my late twenties and these are the things that definitely changed since I was a teenager:

1 I won't be in love with someone and not tell them: I remember being a teen and having this 2 years long crush on a class mate. When I finally had the courage to profess my feelings to her, she rejected me. That was painful and threw me even further back. I had some other crushes after that, but I was too much of a chicken to let another girl know how I feel. That changed soon as I became a twen and met my first love. Now, being almost 30, I take the risk quickly. If I like someone, I hint first and if she's responsive, I tell her that I like her. If she also likes me - great. If not - also fine. No big tragedy. In my teen years: A big tragedy!

2 I'm more confident about myself and the way I look: I remember that as a teen I always felt ugly. Well, who hasn't felt that way as a teen, right? It's like the no 1 issue when you're a teen. Seems like as teens we were constantly insecure: One pimple appeared and the whole day was spoilt. One person was spreading a rumour or bitching about you behind your back and you wanted to kill yourself. Yep! Teen years were tough. I can proudly say that I am a happy vet: My wars with my insecurities are over. I do deem myself as somewhere in the middle, though. I'd not say I look like a male model from a Paris fashion show [*I may qualify for the Pasir Ris fashion show, though, hehe], but I wouldn't say I was ugly either. I feel I'm somewhere in between, but I learned to play my charms. I realized that the older you get, the looks become less and less important. Now I feel, if looks are your only asset and you have nothing else, it's just not enough [when I was a teen, it was!]. Now I think a person's character is what makes a person, really. I soooo admire beautiful women (as you may have noticed from my blog), but I always see more than what meets the mere eye. I always imagine that they are kind and polite, lovely, passionate, pure, funny and much more, depends on the photography, the setting and the mood. I like to project my own emotions in them, but I know that I may be wrong. But when it comes to art, there's no right or wrong.... right?

3 I have reasonable expectations for a long term relationship: I admitted many times - I'm a hopeless romantic. Nevertheless, I'm reasonable. I know that, if you want to be with someone long long time, the romantic feelings are not enough. I do enjoy the initial phase of being in love, but that only lasts few months, if you're lucky, maybe a year. But for 5, 10, 20 years or longer, you need to have something more than just a sexual attraction and irrational projections. I try to love the person for who they are, focusing on the character more than the looks. Of course, I can give tons of compliments to the girl I like by telling her she's cute, sexy, gorgeous. Because, frankly, that's how I see her [and the best is, if she has both]. But to seriously consider a woman as my lifetime partner, I focus more on her character. I would want to know stuff like: Are you adaptable and flexible? Are you kind? Are you deep and considerate? What are your interests, passions? Do you cherish family? What are your goals in life? Are you loving and loyal and do you keep your promises? Are you humble and appreciative? If her answers match my expectations, then I will definitely be willing to do a lot to be with her. I'm not expecting a perfect woman, far from that. But after my 3 previous serious relationships didn't work out, I'm just more careful and I guess I've matured. At least I hope so.

How about you? What are your expectations?
How did you change since your teen years?

Fake commentators

I like to read blogs and comment. I comment a lot. And I also subscribe to follow-up comments, because I like to see what others said and what the blog owner will reply to my comment. So I get a lot of emails every day in my inbox. And sometimes I notice stuff like on the screen caps below. People who copy and paste one and the same comment to various blogs I also follow (call me blog detective, hehe). This guy managed to do that 3 times so far, maybe there'll be more. So check this: Manju's, Mel's and Toothfairy's blog:

No. 1
No. 2
No. 3

Now I wonder. You want to promote your blog, right? You want other bloggers to read your blog, follow you and comment, right? So why do you start with a fake flattery? You clearly didn't read any of these posts, because you use exactly the same comment over and over again and the whole point for you is to lure new readers to your blog. This is very hypocritical, don't you think?

I know Mel and Manju, they are very kind bloggers, who always respond back, so this post is partly written for them to not fall into a trap. And I wrote it also to illustrate this type of behavior, which is happening a lot lately (or maybe I'm noticing it now?). I don't know.

I'm all for promoting your blog. But the best way is to read the blog post and honestly comment on the topic. A good comment will be a better promotion than fake flattery and it will make the other blogger curious about you. So you don't need to link to your blog extra, the link is already in your name.

I'm not claiming that I'm always the perfect commentator. And I know all of you aren't as well. Sometimes we just browse through a post and comment something short. That's legitimate. Sometimes we drop a funny comment or a silly comment without really reading the whole post. Even that's ok. But these copy/paste fake flattering comments are just over the top. Now that's just my opinion.

What do you think?

Update: The person did leave a normal comment on Mel's latest post. Maybe he read my post or maybe he changed his tactics. I don't know, but as for now, he's... busted! :P

Amy Star about hostile people online

My friend Amy Star left a great comment on my blog and I am reposting it here:

"I think that people who are generally hostile online feel powerless in their lives and use the anonymity of the internet to lash out at strangers, because they feel unable to deal with the people they know. Like that troll you mentioned on Twitter today: I'm sure that individual envies anything good in others' lives (like your blog) and tries to trash it. It's a misguided attempt to make her/himself feel better by trying to make others feel worse. These people don't realize that happiness isn't a zero sum game: more happiness for one doesn't necessarily mean less happiness for another. In fact, happiness and love breed more happiness and love. Love is so much more powerful than fear."

She makes good points, right?

Invest in human relations

*Here's a thought I had yesterday. It was part of a long email, so I'm sharing the best part here.

Our lives are short, if you think well. Becoming 30 for me seemed so fast. And I feel 40, 50, 60 will arrive quite as fast, too. Life is short, that's why we need to make the best of it. Maybe a young soul searches, we all search at one point of our lives, but when we find what we were looking for, we have to cherish it. Nothing in this world can be taken for granted. One day you are happy, the next day you can be miserable. People get born, people die. Sometimes I think I must do something extrordinary in life. In the end all the material things fade away, what remains are human relations - bonds between lovers, parents, friends... I have so much to give, so many people to meet, so much to learn. I hope my life will be long enough. I cherish human relations the most in this world. I don't want to be remembered by what kind of car I drove or how big my house was, I want to be remembered as a nice person, as someone who will be missed for who he was: A giving person, a listener, a loyal friend, a good husband, a loving father. These are my goals in life. I do need to have enough resources to take care for me and my future family, of course. But accumulating wealth won't be the most important thing in my life. I will invest in relations. I will build up strong relationships, spread love, be positive. I may not succeed always, but I will learn and hopefully mature in my life.

Lee Hyori: 30 and uberhot!

My favorite Asian pop singer Lee Hyori, born on 10 May 1979, has proved once again that she's the no 1 sexiest Korean (and most likely) Asian singer. She had a concert in China a month ago and I want to share some lovely pics of her here.

Hyori shows that you can be 30 years old and still be the hottest singer and performer in the pool of countless rising stars, especially in Korea.

You doubt? Check these pics! Still doubting?

For me, she's still number one when it comes to sexiness, catchy songs, music videos and on stage charisma. In my opinion, Asian women look the best between 25 and 35 years. Even though it's common in Asian pop industry, that stars, who turn 30, end their music career, Hyori totally breaks that habit. Her 4th solo album is about to be released soon and probably a ton of performances and concerts will follow.

She will again be no 1 in Korea (and Asia) and I can't wait to get my hands on her new album. Good luck, Hyori! Outshine everybody once again. The stage is yours!

Interview before the concert.

Looking hot with those lovely lips.

Paying attention, thinking.

Focusing, tilting the head in a sexy way.

Dilligently answering every question.

And then performing to the fullest.

Being 30 and rocking the stage? No problem for Hyori!

Yao Yao, Taiwanese beauty

Another popular girl in Taiwan

This post is related to my previous one. My girlfriend told me, that there's a girl in Taiwan with a similar look as Elly Tran Ha, the Vietnamese girl I've introduced in my previous post. My girlfriend gave me a link to her photos and it was quite quickly obvious, that they fit in the same type of petite figured beauties with a large chest.

Yao Yao 瑤瑤 (or Guo Shu Yao, Chinese 郭書瑤, as her real name) was born 1990 in Taiwan. She became popular in 2008 as a game show host and due to her curvacious and cute appearance, she became popular online and transferred to TV and modelling. In addition to that, she even released her 1st single in 2009. I guess a career in show business is easier for those who look good, huh?

[SEE ALSO: My Yao Yao photos from Danshui!]

UPDATE: For those who can't get enough of Yao Yao, she now has her own fanpage and blog, how cool is that? :-) The photo above is a screen cap from her personal website named www.iloveyaoyao.com, please check that out, if you're a fan. You can even become a member! Browse through her beautiful photos, see her videos and much much more. But there's even more than that! Wanna read Yao Yao's blog? You can do that now. The blog is in Chinese, but there's many private photos of her, you'll find it here: iamyaoyao.pixnet.net/blog. The one linked below on Wretch, was recently closed. So please go and click on the Pixnet one. Enjoy :-)

Elly Tran Ha, Vietnamese beauty

Vietnam's internet sensation

Today it's time for a lighter topic. A while ago a female friend of mine shared with me a set of photos of a beautiful Vietnamese girl. Since she also loves to enjoy photos of beautiful women, I was happy to check them out. I was impressed and decided to introduce the young woman to my readers. So today I checked that set again and tried to find out more about that girl. I found out that her name is...

Elly Tran Ha (also known as Elly Kim Hong). She is a half Vietnamese and half Chinese model from Saigon, Vietnam, supposedly born 1987 (her age is disputed). She became popular in 2009, when a known gossip blogger in Vietnam posted some of her pics on his website and her career suddenly skyrocketed. So far, little is known about her, but she became an overnight internet sensation in Vietnam (and in Chinese speaking countries). And if you look at her pics, I suppose you immediately know why.

These photos of her are very popular currently and they're circulating all over the internet. I'm sharing some of them here for you to see. Look at the photos that made Elly an internet sensation:

Beautiful Elly is all natural. She surely was blessed by nature.

Elly is cute, petite and busty. But it's obvious (and probably sad) that she seems to have become so popular solely because of her chest. So now I'm asking you: Why are petite women with a large chest so attractive? And why are people crazy over Yao Yao?

Looks like Elly Tran Ha has some competition. Have you heard of Hoang Bao Tran?

My first experience as a guest blogger

I had the honor to be a guest blogger on the fabulous blog Insomniac Lolita owned by my friend Andhari. It's my first time, so please forgive me my typos and ramblings. I hope it turns out well. I mean, she has currently 270 followers, so I'm a bit nervous. But I feel it will turn out well, because of the topic I chose, hehe [*I'm so smart]. If you want to read that post click here.

So how did I do?

What will happen to blogs in 50 years?

Did you ever think what will happen to blogs, Twitter and Facebook accounts and tons of other websites in 50 years? Can you imagine our blogs being 50 years old with an archive going from the top to the bottom of the whole sidebar? A Twitter account with possibly few hundred thousand tweets? A Facebook account with 1000 photo albums? Or do you think at one point in your life you will stop with all this?

Ok, let's imagine further. This may be a bit sad, so don't read more, if you're a pessimist. Let's imagine that things go the way they go now. All of us, who became blog friends, continue the same way and update the way we do now. Years pass and we really become like a family. One blogger gets married, one gives birth to a baby or becomes a father, another one moves to another coutry, new jobs, new betrayals, sweet vacations, family matters... but then one day it happens:

At one point one of your blog friends dies. Shock! Devastation! Sadness... No more updates in your Google reader. Days pass and the last update becomes older and older... And then you realize: This person is not among us anymore. You have never met them in real, yet you know almost everything about their life, the ups and downs, the happy and the sad moments. For me it would probably be as if I've lost a real friend, even a family member. I hope it doesn't happen any time soon, but I must say I did think about this for a while now. And I wonder what would happen to all the content a person uploaded during their long long (online) life.

Now that I made you emo and spoiled your mood, I'd like to cheer you up! ^^v

Hey! You're young, right? You have a life, right? Then, please, don't think so far. Enjoy your life every day to the fullest! Don't think about what will happen in 50 years! Another week started, many things may piss you off again... but it can't really be that bad, right? You have so many things to accomplish, so many adventures to embark on, so many wonderful moments await you in life. So all I'm asking you now is to drop a cheerful comment and then get outta here and embrace the world :P
