It’s Not Shallow if I Only Like Beautiful People
Or that is the sort of argument presented by members of Beautifulpeople.com, a dating site which, as The Times stated, “was founded in 2002 in Denmark, to bring together the country’s attractive people — and presumably produce some beautiful Scandinavian babies. Late last year it expanded worldwide, and has grown to 500,000 members — 40,000 [...]
Thinking About Dating A British?
JUST as some women date only prison inmates, so there are those who yearn above all for Englishmen, with their exotic customs and their reputation for making even banal remarks sound like brilliant repartee. For example my friend D* who has dated men from all over the world and now focuses on finding a Mr. [...]
Are You A Retrosexual?
You, of course, have heard about metrosexual men. Since the Nineties, men have embraced their feminine side and spent an equal amount of time in the bathroom as their other-halves, putting some face cream or hair gel on, as well as scrutinizing fashion magazines to keep up with the latest trend. David Beckham, as you [...]
Men Are From Mars
Postscript 24/8/08: This thread has caused a stir a little bit. Even though I didn’t name names, those who circulate in the same crowd as me could easily guess who I was talking about. In order to maintain a peace in the real world, I decide to take this post down. You can read it [...]
Let's Get This Party Started
Bigger is better. More glamorous is better. More people to attend is better. Longer train, heavier make-up, and higher hair, are better. The more expensive is better.

Certain Friendships Don't Last Forever (2)
Sometimes when you’re sleep deprived, you start imagining things and seeing stars before your eyes. That’s what I thought the first time I saw them. On the way back to Indonesia I stopped over in Singapore to see my best friend from high school, who’s heavily pregnant and ready to explode any day now. I [...]
Teenage Sex and Fame

Caucasian vs. Indonesian Men (2)
My previous post sparked lots of heavy comments. First came Oigal, who said I was nasty and too personal. He asked me to remove my reference regarding his family from my blog. I did reply to his comment, saying that I was in rush to go to funeral (and it was Good Friday for goodness [...]
High Infidelity
I am sitting comfortably in the living room on this peaceful day, looking out the snow slowly melting, vanishing from the roofs, trees, and roads. I have had just finished a quick online chatting with a dear friend in Indonesia, which leads me to a simple summary: fidelity is almost nonexistent in Jakarta. I have [...]
