the weekly survey of mundane-ness
This post marks the launch of The Weekly Survey of Mundane-ness. Inspired by survey questions being done in morning radio shows, I decided that maybe it would be fun to institutionalize it on my blog. They actually do a daily thing but well, since I'm not a daily blogger... let's do the weekly thing... and every Monday thing at that. Wait... today's a Wednesday. Hmmm. Who cares. It's the launch anyway.

How this works: There are two mundane choices. Choose one. Explain why. Remember, the explanation is just as critical as the choice (because it's the fun part). No right or wrong answers. No judgements. Just let the mundane side of you take over. Sometimes the choice involves a question, sometimes it will be just two things and you can be the one to qualify your choice. This week, we have a survey question:

What do you think men fear more?
The Eyelash Curler
or
Waxing

The men, of course, are free to express their sentiments whether bourne out of personal experience or what have you. To start things off, I think it's the eyelash curler. Chips thinks that it's an evolved torture device from the middle ages... especially if it's the metal one. I think the fear comes from not knowing how the hell it happens. So people, what do you think?

    nio: actually it only hurts when you're too sleepy and you can't aim right... such that sometimes the eyelid gets caught... which then gets you wide awake. hehehe.

    i think waxing. but i am basing this on one instance when an altar server pulled one hair from my foot... masakit.

    waxing. anything that involves involuntary yanking i think would freak guys out. especially if it involves areas with hair... hahhaa

    hhmmm waxing cguro. kasi ung eyelash curler, maliit naman ung chance na aaray ka eh. and you can still get away with it by saying u have naturally curly eyelashes or wear a tinted eyeglass. ung waxing, ewan ko lang kung hindi mabading ung mga boys pag may biglang yanking na naganap. at hindi yata mashadong kaaya aya tignan ung legs ng isang machong lalaki na makinis.

    jeff: may bias naman ako sa waxing dahil masochista ata ako. the pain is good... lalo na kung talagang mainit yung wax hehe.

    apester: imagine a brazilian...

    kateh: matagal ko na pinipilit si Chips na try ko sa kanya yung waxing. kahit facial hair. wala lang. gusto ko lang makita kung ano reaksyon nya.

    THE EYELASH CURLER

    I absolutely hate things going near my eye. The curler is scary. Whenever I think about it, I get weak - I lose my finger grip.

    I dont know how women can stand it.

    jayvee: didn't we ever curl your lashes during our Viare days? hehe :)

    mia d: i get that look to. also when i put eyeliner (especially if it's along the lower lashes). it's like this look bordering on disbelief and disgust.

    naomi: maybe i should ask the Let's Face It staff if a guy has ever availed of their lash-perming services.

    nio: i envy your lashes... grrr.

    kateh: hehe ang ganda :) let's have a waxing party. sama si Chips.

    incidentally, i just watched 40 Year Old Virgin. that waxing scene was so hilarious.

    waxing has got to be more painful than the eyelash curler...

    i've never waxed, but got curled once or twice by my jealous cousins (i've got these nice long lashes, it seems) :)

    dreaming-neko: why are guys more likely to have nice eyelashes than girls. it's unfair. look at what we have to resort to.

Sometimes bored. Most of the time oddly alive. Phobic of butterflies. Creatively suppressed. Hungry for coffee and shoes. This is my subconscious talking... at times interrupted by my reality.

soundtrack of the moment
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea. Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis. But it's just the price to pay, Destiny is calling me. Open up my eager eyes 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside -- "Mr. Brightside" The Killers
