Hello, ladies. How you doooin'?

Quick Update: I went to the gym the other day. Now I know what you're thinking. What is gym? What is it that you speak of? I know, I know. Haha. It's was a weird experience. Oddly satisfying but weird nonetheless. I'm pretty sure I looked like a n00b when I went. And I was so paranoid to get on the treadmill because some people may judge you on how long you spent there. Haha. I burnt 200 plus calories that day and was so proud of myself. I went home and found out that it's only equivalent to a pet bottle of coke, and I swore never to step foot on a gym again.

Oh and HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE. I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING MORE FUN THAN ME. <3

This theme is so hard! Whenever I get asked for movie recommendations, I suddenly forget every movies I've watched. And for some reason, it's been a while since I watched something I thoroughly enjoyed. Not for the lack of trying cos I've been watching a lot of movies online this week. They all fall either in the "hmm not bad", "okay" or "meh" categories. And they're supposedly good movies! Rotten Tomatoes said so and I believe him! But yeah. Is it just me?

The Social Network

Oh my goodness. I don't remember enjoying a movie as much as I've enjoyed this one. I love the dry humour and the raw honesty in it. It is such a good movie and it's so real. It's more than just based on a true story. You'll be conflicted about whether you love or hate Zuckerberg. He has such a, for the lack of better word, cheeky and devil-may-care personality, which he makes so admirable. He finds humour in everything and he's sarcastic to boot. He has a strange mixture shyness, awkwardness and a heavy dose of arrogance and cockiness thrown in there. I loved it when he was brought in by the school council for hacking the school's files and he turned the tables around and claimed that he's actually helped by pointing out gaping holes in the school's security. On the other hand, he's such an asshole. I figured it's more than 80% based on true fact since Zuckerberg would've filed for defamation if a substantial part of the movie is untrue. Goodness knows that it's not actually made to make him look like a god, and it's amazing how even when you hate Zuckerberg and think that he's one cocky prick, you still have respect for him. That's not easy.

What I love most is the irony of how someone who created such a successful social networking site doesn't know shit about relating to people. I think this is one of the most fascinating, engrossing and enjoyably cynical movie out there. I can't safely say it's my favourite movie, but I can however, swear that it's one of the most awesome movies out there.

Here's a quote from the movie:

Mark Zuckerberg: I went to my friend for the money because that's who I wanted to be partners with. Eduardo was the president of the Harvard Investors Association, and he was also my best friend.
Gage: Your best friend is suing you for six hundred million dollars.
Mark Zuckerberg: I didn't know that, tell me more.

Here's another one:

Gage: Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg: [stares out the window] No.
Gage: Do you think I deserve it?
Mark Zuckerberg: [looks at Gage] What?
Gage: Do you think I deserve your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg: I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don't want to perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no.
Gage: Okay - no. You don't think I deserve your attention.
Mark Zuckerberg: I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing.
[pauses]
Mark Zuckerberg: Did I adequately answer your condescending question?

If you did not even crack a smile while reading those... Son, I will be disappoint.
