Five Places You Should Go To Meet Women

So you get tired of meeting women or striking out at the bar/club. Some of them don't even want to meet you there, because all they wanna do there is DANCE with their girlfriends. You try match.com and it's not really working out. Fear not, here's some fresh ideas on where you need to go to MEET (does not always mean to pick up) quality women and how to approach them.

5. Deli Meat Line

Back in the days, when I was younger and didn't know any better, I always do my grocery shopping on Sunday. The store is always packed. Then I always have to wait in line to get some deli meat; It takes forever...But somehow there are at least a couple of cute ladies waiting in line too. Definitely talk to them to get out of your boredom; It's much better than checking your phone every 30 seconds pretending you have some text. Don't forget, they're as bored as you waiting in line trying to get their meat.

4. Plant Nursery

Women love flowers, gardening, plants, etc. Plant nursery is definitely the place to go to meet women. If you are like me, you're probably clueless about plants, which make this place perfect to go to. You totally should ask questions about gardening to start a conversation. Most of the customers and store clerks are very knowledgeable about gardening. Ask them stuff like how often do you need to water a certain plant, how much sunlight does it need to get, where to plant them, etc. You could also ask about plants that are easy to maintain to be put in your house. This would make her thinks that you're different and more mature than other young males who got no plants in their house. See if they have Japanese Peace Lily (Yea, totally heard about this plant from the movie Hot Fuzz) and then ask if they're easy to maintain.

3. Dog Park

It's a common sense... women adore dogs. There's no dog park near where you live? Just walk to a nearby park. Don't have a dog? Borrow your friend's or neighbor's and walk their dog. You probably would see some familiar faces after the third time you went there, arrange a play-date for your dogs and a date for yourself.

2. Ikea

If you're in college, summer is the best time to go to Ikea. Why? Freshmen needs to furnish their dorm room, sophomores need to furnish their apartment/house for the fall before school started. I actually met an ex from Ikea.
If you're more mature, go to Home Sense. Pretty much the same as Ikea, but a lot of graduating seniors who actually got a job and can afford to move out of their parents house to rent an apartment/house go to Home Sense.

1. Sephora

I was walking around with one of my really good friend and she said she need something from Sephora (a cosmetic store). She said, she'll go later, but since we're there, I told her why not just go in there already? Guess what I found?! TONNES of GORGEOUS WOMEN. I was so shocked, not because of the amount of women I found there, but because of why I didn't think of going to this store before. What makes this place even more brilliant to go to is, there are barely any guys that go to this store. I LITERALLY saw two other guys in the store (one was gay and the other one was dragged by his girlfriend there), so you don't have any competition in that store. Don't be surprised by the amount of ladies checkin you out in the store. They'll probably trying to figure out whether you're gay or not...

You'd ask why would a single straight guy walk into a cosmetic store full of girls, right? Actually they have one wall that's dedicated for men's cologne, after shave, face product, and other stuff. Trust me on this one. Just go in, look for the men's section, go straight there, check out some cologne, then once there's a woman come close to you, ask her opinion on which cologne smells better, etc. Another reason to go to this store is that women loves men who take care of themselves and treat their body right; it shows them that if they take care of their body well, they will take care of her well too.



The bottom line is, it doesn't matter where you meet them. Just be confident and ask questions what do they think about some stuff. Women likes to talk, so make sure you listen to what they're saying instead of showing off what you do. Always be courteous and respectful when you approach them. Nobody wants to hang out with a rude and ill-mannered person.

p.s. The public transit is probably one of the worst places to meet women (No, I don't know this from experience).

Open Letter to Fans From Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert

Shortly after Lebron James announced his intent to sign with the Miami Heat starting the 2010-2011 season via an hour long announcement on ESPN, the Cavaliers majority owner Dan Gilbert wrote this letter for the Cavs fans, slamming Lebron James.

The original letter can be found here: http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/gilbert_letter_100708.html In case it gets deleted/retracted by the NBA, I have a copy of it right here for you to see.


Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....



Dan Gilbert
Majority Owner
Cleveland Cavaliers

Justifying Suarez' Handball

Luis Suarez became an overnight hero for Uruguay after he used his hands to kept the ball away from the goal line. Under regular circumstances, using your hand to control the ball movement in soccer is very frowned upon. If the referee caught you use your hand to control the ball, he would give you at least a yellow card and a free kick for the other team.

The score was tied at one between Uruguay and Ghana in the dying minutes of the 30 minutes of extra times. Ghana's offense bombarded the Uruguayans' penalty area. At one point, one of Ghana's players headed the ball and it looks like it was going to be in the net. However, Luis Suarez was right behind the goal line and used his hands to kept the ball away from passing the goal line. The referee saw this, gave Suarez a red card, sent him off the field, and gave Ghana a chance to score via penalty kick. Asamoah Gyan took the penalty kick, but he had a little too much power that sent the ball hit the top of the cross bar and missed the net. As soon as he missed, the ref blew the final whistle to end the game and proceeded to penalty shootout. Ghana lost 4-2 in the penalty shootout and that broke the heart of many Ghanaian supporters i.e. the whole continent of Africa. Watch the video below in reverse angle to see one of the most dramatic finish in the World Cup history.



A lot of people think Suarez cheated for using his hands to keep the ball away from the net. But he actually did not cheat. He committed a foul and got penalized for it. The ref did the right thing for sending Suarez off the game and gave Ghana the penalty kick. Let's look at it this way, if Suarez blatantly used his hand to control the ball in the 73rd minute, outside the penalty area, resulted in expulsion from the game and a free kick for Ghana, would you call that cheating? No, because that would be a very idiotic move by Suarez if he did that. Most people think it's cheating since the opposing team got eliminated because of that handball.

Suarez really got nothing to lose to use his hands to control the ball at that point of time. He knew the ball was going to go in the net if he did not knock the ball away with his hand. If the ball went in, there really was no time for Uruguay to score another goal to even things up and would make Uruguay got eliminated from the World Cup. By using his hands, not only he did not allow the ball to go in to the net, Suarez also created an opportunity for Uruguay's goal keeper to stop the ball from the penalty kick. If Ghana were to win the game and advances to the semi final, Suarez made it slightly harder for Ghana to win. It was not Suarez' fault that Asamoah Gyan did not score in that penalty kick. I would ask the question again, would you say Suarez cheated if Gyan scored the goal in that penalty and Ghana advances to the semi?

Suarez' handball was definitely one of the most brilliant & instinctive, yet controversial plays in the World Cup history. Because of his handball, Uruguay now would play the Netherlands in the semifinal. Even if they could not advance to the final, because Uruguay is missing a couple of key players including Suarez, they still have a chance to play and win for the third place spot; it is a much better accomplishment than getting eliminated in the quarter final.

5 Acts/Talents That Will Never Win America's Got Talent

I love watching America's got talent. Some people are really talented, some people are totally clueless about what a talent is, and some people are just attention whores. The winner of this contest will have a headline show in Vegas and $1 million dollar. Actually after further review, the winner does not really get $1 million as promised; They get a lot less. Click here for details.

One thing that irritate me about this show is the contestants. Before they go on audition, they should really think whether their "talent" is really worth for people to watch in a headline show in Las Vegas. A headline show in Vegas would last at least 45 minutes, so if your talent is only to do one particular thing and you can't improve much on it, you're only going to bore the audience in Vegas i.e. NOT going to win the show, don't even bother trying out. Sounds harsh? A little bit, but it's Vegas. Las Vegas is packed with people with talents coming from all over the world to perform and amazes other people from all over the world who comes to see them.

Here are some acts/talents that would never win America's Got Talent:

1. Tap Dancing.

Tap dancing is great and require a lot of effort, but it will never win AGT especially if the contestant is performing alone. It's just not Las Vegas material. Who would watch 45 minute of a one person doing a tap dance? Unless you're a tap-dance enthusiasts, you'd get bored after 13 minutes of tap-dancing MAX!

2. A Solo Juggling Act

So you're in Vegas, guess how many people in Las Vegas can juggle? LOTS!!! Don't even bother applying if you're just going to juggle a set of balls, pins, swords, cats, a chain saw on a unicycle. We've all seen that at Circus Circus.

3. A monotone magic show/ Old tricks

Same reason as number two. There are so many great magicians in Vegas, if you're going to perform the same old magic tricks like pulling stuff out of a hat, making a girl inside a box disappear/stab the box with swords then split the box into two, you're not going to win. You gotta be to at least almost as good as Criss Angel or David Blaine to win.

4. Dog agility show

Sure your dogs are cute, can catches discs, and jump through some loops, but people want to see YOUR talent, not your dogs' talent. It's true coaching these dogs require a lot of talent, but during the performance, the dog is the center piece of the act and people forget about you. Plus if people are really interested in watching dog catching discs and other stuff, the dog agility competition would get more coverage on TV.

5. Harmonica

I don't care how good you are at playing a harmonica or four harmonicas at a time, but after listening to two songs, I would most likely be done and get bored with it. A harmonica sounds almost as annoying as a Vuvuzela after a while.



Honorable mention:
Little kids performing anything.
These kids are the cutest, energetic, and very talented; waaaaaaay more talented than most of the older people auditioning for the show. However, they aren't gonna win the show (other than the first season winner) because they are too young to be performing a show in Las Vegas on a nightly or even fortnightly basis. They got school to go to the next morning, homework to do after school, studying for tests, and hanging out with friends. Just wait til they finish high school at least, and then try out.


That's all I can think of right now, if you want to audition, think whether people would like to pay money to see you perform for at least 45 minutes. Be honest and don't be bias about it, you're only wasting the judges' time if your talent is not Vegas worthy.


One thing I don't understand about some contestants: If their talent is singing, why don't they audition for American Idol? OR if their talent is dancing, why don't they audition for So You Think You Can Dance?

The Top 20 Hottest WAGs of the 2010 FIFA World Cup

The term WAG is an acronym for Wives and Girlfriends. Usually when someone mention WAGs, people would immediately think of the English team's wives and girlfriends. Their hotness become such distractions that made England's Coach Fabio Capello ban the team's WAG from the 2010 World Cup. This post will go beyond the English WAGs.

To be honest with you, it's very tough to put a list of 20 hottest World Cup WAGs since soccer players date and marry the hottest girls compare to other professional athletes. You can compare them yourself in this website. Count how many models dated soccer players compare to other pro-sports athlete's WAGs. So if you want to date a very hot girl, you might wanna consider playing professional soccer as your career. It doesn't matter if you're fugly, models would totally date soccer players. You don't believe me? Check out the 9 humongous mismatches in soccer WAG history after the jump. Why don't I make the list longer if it's tough to list the top 20? Let's face it, we both know you don't have the attention span for a list longer than 20.

Before I actually start with the list, if you think you're going to see Victoria Beckham or Ilary Blasi here, you thought wrong. Here's why: Beckham and Totti are not even playing in the World Cup this year and there are so many other young talents that you've probably never heard of.

Whatcha Drinkin?

So you're at a bar trying to order drinks and sometimes you're not too sure whether you want vodka or rum or even tequila. Stunna Ultra Premium Liqueur combines all three of these along with other spirits so you don't have to get confuse what to order anymore. To drink this, you don't even have to mix it with anything else, just serve it on the rocks.
I wonder how's the hangover gonna be like.

Disclaimer: No, Stunna does not pay me to advertise this. I just thought their product has an interesting concept hence why I post it.

What's Your Web Browser?

I have four web browsers (IE8, Chrome, Opera, and FireFox) and I still weigh-in the pros and cons to use just one browser. I don't use Safari, because it's kind of too simple.

I mostly use Internet Explorer (and it's my default browser still) although it's the most sluggish among the four, to me, it has the nicest interface. I like IE's tabs, Google Toolbar integration make it easier to get images or finance quotes, web accelerators, and also somehow my anti virus (Mcafee) would tell me whether a site would likely give me viruses or not. It crash every now and then, but it usually restore the web that crashes quite nicely.

I don't like Firefox one bit. Most people use Firefox because their friends recommend it to them, because it's simply "better" than IE without knowing why it's better. It's a great open source browser where you can add a bunch of stuff into it (although I know a lot of people who don't know about this feature). The bad thing about Firefox is it takes a lot of your computer's memory, slowing you down if you're working on other things.

I love everything about chrome, but one thing: Chrome shares whatever you browse (EVERYTHING) on the internet with Google. Google know all about your likes and dislikes, banking info, facebook stuff, your online purchases, porn fetishes, etc. Sucks how they'd probably use all these data to "exploit" you somehow. Everything else is good. The user interface is very simple, making it browse whatever you wanna browse really quick. It's also an open source program, so you can add a bunch of stuff to enhance your browsing experience.

Opera is pretty much like Chrome in terms of speed (maybe a little faster) and basic interface. It doesn't share any of my browsing history with Google. Sounds great? Yes. However, for some reason it crash/not responding quite a bit for me. Opera is also an open source program, but I couldn't really find any good add-ons/gadgets/apps like the ones I got for my Chrome.

What web browser do you use and why do you like it?
