i get it, you are a new generation.  the old one went through a war and now sifts through your garbage.  you reap all the benefits of your new economy.  you are asia's version of hollywood.  you have the most arian standard according to the asian ladder of beauty.  the men aren't so masculine, so you have to be more feminine.  i get it.  heels.  skirts.  makeup.  whining.  pouting.  self portraits.  nose jobs.  giggling.  coyness.  holding hands.  big hair bows.

i guess it true what they say.
when you hate somebody, every little thing they do is stupid.
