New things I just learned to do before heading out in the future...

Pepcid AC. Check.

Clip my fingernails. Check.

Embrace the soul of a rapist. Check.

Allll-riiight.

That shit is bananas, didn't her parents expect the bill? did this chic get into any college at all? Stanford is great, but it ain't ivy league

i'm going to guess that the money her parents gave her is now a nice chunk of cash to flee the country and start anew.

am i the only one that get tummy aches when i get cold?

growing up, my parents always told me to wear more clothes so i won't get cold and get a tummy ache, because that is exacty what happened. it didn't matter which body part; leg, neck, tummy, behind, wahtever.

in the past fewyears i have shared this with my american friends and they all told me i was crazy.

is it just my family? or is it asians? or is this solely a japanese thing?

[sybaritical]

Couple of years ago the British national health service advised girls from northern parts of England to cover up when they went out due to the increased risk of very serious health problems arising from exposure of the abdomen to cold.

True!

i hear haramaki - belly warmers - are coming back to fight belly illnesses, but serving as fashion accessories too. not sure if they look good on guys like that, but as a girl you could pull it off. and fight off tummy aches.

i'm asian, and that happens to me and my entire family too.

asian parents are too superstitious.

but it's somewhat true because asians don't have on average, as much adipose tissue as a white man does, which means less natural insulation.

really? I must've missed that. and northern girls don't feel the cold. that's why I can wear skirts in january.

waht the fuck is with ivy league schools? does great schooling equal great success and happiness? im never gonna stress out my kids the way other parents do, i mean we'll guide them not to bum off and at least have a goal that they want to pursue but with what the standards that asian parents are setting up these days is just wack. just the other day got invited to a party by my friend and it was one of those kids from those gifted schools in this case whitney, cerritos, anyhow the parents were there?!?! what kind of party is it. then we had to stand up and introduce ourselves. "hi my name is suzan and im going to yale this fall" when it came to my turn, "hi my name is david and ill be going to cerritos jc for a semester than travel the fuking world, then take another semester then take another semester off to fuck your daugther". and we left

This is so true with Korean parents.

^^ Speaking of which, I was also forced to attend Kumon and even learned the fucking abacus. Useless.

jesus christ... fucking kumon. I used to dread going there every weekend when I was waaay younger. kumon and violin/piano lessons. fuuuuck

[mrpenguin354]

Oh shit, piano lessons. I remember my teacher always used to get pissed off because she said I didn't practice enough. After a year or two she made this policy that she would "kick out" anyone who she felt didn't practice at least ten hours a week.

Needless to say I was out.

[swooc]

Kumon! a term i havn't heard in a while. Thank god my mum didn't force me into that shit. Biggest fucking rorts imo.

[evisu 2000]

asian parents are wack as hell.

[apu]

Kumon! a term i havn't heard in a while. Thank god my mum didn't force me into that shit. Biggest fucking rorts imo.

now i remember when i used to learn Kumon in prep school

it didnt exactly help at all, actually, my marks were shittier than b4

and the violon lessons every Sat was a pain in the ass!

[lestat]

kumon... i hated that place...

[Pogi]

Haha Kumon!!

I was never sent to that place but I don't think it even helped. My friends went and some are still clueless these days.

[Pandemonium]

isn't kumon's basic aim to make you do the same work in less time?

doesn't work for crap.

[Pogi]

I thought kumon was for stealing Asian parent's money?

Q: why the fuck does the asian dude on hell's kitchen have to be 1) fat, 2) a crybaby bitch, and 3) a wannabe cowboy. way to represent.

3) a wannabe cowboy.

havent seen the show but tbh i think the leather and denim thing along with my idolatry of clint eastwood puts me in this category

.'. stfu

^ three dots for "therefore"

[ironXcrayon]

Ahahah I work at Kumon. Honestly I am the stupidest person alive.

^^^^ well, clint eastwood and cowboy idolatry is more asian than you think.

clint eastwood copied a lot of his mean swagger from toshiro mifune. in fact, many of those spaghetti westerns are hugely influenced by old kurosawa movies--some are just straight copies:

http://www3.baylor.edu/~Brooks_Grigson/papers/Kurosawa.html

so, you don't need to feel too bad about this. swagger and being a bad-ass is the same no matter where it comes from.

[mizanation]

and kumon sucks!!!! i still haven't forgiven my parents for taking me there. i told them to shove it after the first session.
