Okay so I may be one of the last peoples to think Zoolander is the most awesomnest, hilarious, pointless though full of meaning(the script, that is.) movie ever! The 2001 hit flick known for its whack sense of fashion, not to mention the most prestigous celebrities from Will Ferrell to Donald Trump to Paris Hilton to Gwen Stefani to Lil' Kim to Billy Zane to Victoria Beckham to David Bowie and the list goes on to infinity. Heck, these celebrities appearing for a span of 2 seconds at least or saying one line simple as "Hi" makes me wonder the big bucks these people earned shooting the movie. And funniest crack up of all was that it was DIRECTED by Ben Stiller. No wonder.
But nevertheless, kudos to the spontaniety and absurd humour thats got me repeating it here on.
Derek Zoolander: Or are you here to tell me what a bad eugoogoolizer I am?
Matilda: A what?
Derek Zoolander: A eugoogoolizer... one who speaks at funerals.
Derek Zoolander: Or did you think I was too stupid to know what a eugoogooly was?
Hansel: You is talking loco and I like it!
Maury Ballstein: I've got a prostate the size of a honeydew and a head full of bad memories.
Derek Zoolander: Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?
Matilda: I became...
Hansel: What?
Matilda: Bulimic.
Derek Zoolander: You can read minds?
Derek Zoolander: Well I guess it all started the first time I went through the second grade. I caught my reflection in a spoon while I was eating my cereal, and I remember thinking "wow, you're ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career."
Matilda: Do what for a career?
Derek Zoolander: Be professionally good looking.
Maury Ballstein: Mugatu is so hot right now he could take a crap, wrap it in tinfoil, put a couple fish hooks on it and sell it to Queen Elizabeth as earrings.
Mugatu: It's that damn Hansel! He's so hot right now!
Derek Zoolander: For serious.
Derek Zoolander: Uhh Earth to Matilda, I was at a day spa. Day, D-A-I-Y-E. Okay?
Derek Zoolander: So join now, 'cause at the Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too, we teach you that there's more to life than just being really, really, really good looking. Right kids?
And now an addition to my aim in life is the master the "Zoolander face"

Under the radar
Here I sit with an umbrella open over my head, waiting for my niece's school van to arrive at our front yard. Yeah whatever, stuff you superstitious beliefs of how-many-ever-freakin-years of bad luck you get and whatnot. In fact, speaking of superstition, a moth flew by Fiona as we were walking home and she dodged it as if scared the living daylights out of her.
Fiona: DAHHH! *dodge*
Kim: Aw! It's a butterflyyyy! :(
Fiona: It's a moth.
Kim: no...its a butterfly!
Fiona: There's an Asian superstitious belief that...
Kim: Oh, come on.
Fiona: Yeah like. Everytime a moth passes you, that its a spirit..like a dead person you know. Those that haven't left this world, still lingering around here instead of going to heaven or hell.
Kimee: YEAAAH. I remembered when Joanne told me that once and a moth flew at me and frikkin got scared.
Kim: You guys are so Asian.
Hmhmhmmhmhm. Few weeks ago, my niece's dance concert at Marconi Club was really good. It was a long 3 hours, actually..we were there since 1pm til' 6 because she was performing and the preps took a while. Love watching people dance, the way they hold themselves..gracefully and you can feel the beautiful movements within your body. Every step, every lift, the music, the atmosphere. The crowd, the cheering, the people. You can feel the emotion, the facial expressions, and whatever the performer is demonstrating. It inspires me how people can express themselves through dancing, it's just so...magnificent. I hope my niece will continue dancing, because at this age she can learn to be confident and strong, holding a composure to something she's set straight to.
Fiona: DAHHH! *dodge*
