Sweet Crystals.

(my title has zero correlation to my post but oh well...)

Today is just like any other outrageously scorching day. (big words, I know.) The only difference is that I had my best crime partner to accompany me through this journey from the East to the West.

Thank you Shane.

Throughout the "deep" conversations we had, one really struck me hard and got me thinking even as I sat on that 1 hr butt-aching bus ride filled with noisy "kids". (honestly, do you have to shout your conversations on the bus?).

We talked about our ideals. I must say that we do rather have realistic ideals if that even make sense.

.... okay, who am i kidding. We obviously do not ....

But the important thing is that it got me thinking as to how we came up with all these ideals. These "ideals" that we have of our future husbands obviously do not just pop out from thin air. We get influenced by the media, by the books we read, by stereotypes. Let's not forget the way we were brought up too. This influences around us really causes us to change our thinking and adapt. We may not metamorph physically but I am pretty sure our minds undergo metamorphosis every single day. Our list of ideals are never-ending (well, mine is) as we come up with a new ideal to add on. I mean, all of us do have an inner perfectionist. The question right now is how dominant this "perfectionist" side of you is.

But then again, how closely do we really fulfill our ideals then? I mean, I may say I would like him to be tall. But what happens when "the one" is shorter than you are? Are you just going to "eliminate" him? And when she said she really want someone who has double eyelids and dimples .... (please dont kill me for revealing) but what if he doesnt? I sound rather stupid and superficial right now, but just think about it before you go "wtf is she talking about". Why am i even talking about this right now? Well, I suppose, the realization that our society has become increasingly superficial struck me harder today. On the bus ride home, I sat there thinking as I pass by Coronation Plaza how superficial and unrealistic my ideals were. I mean, these ideals are great to have as "guidelines" and something to entertain yourself with but how accurate you can get is totally another story.

What are the chances anyway?

Okay, don't get me wrong. I am not trying to say all you people out there are superficial just because you have these ideals (female or male alike) How do i say this.... It's just i find this concept of ideals highly interesting and i obviously would like to hit at least 80% of them. I mean, why not right. (call me whatever you want. meh)

Whatever the case is, I guess there is still a long way to go before we actually know if these ideals can actually become reality. I am 20% skeptical of it but for all of you people out there, have faith.

On another note, some piece of good news came by me today. Probably the best i ever had this past few months. Hopefully it works out fine. *cross fingers* It's a secret guys. (for now)

No, i did not get myself a boyfriend (though my mom can't wait till i get one. ohgosh)
