bi-cultural love

there's a speech in the other end of the line that goes something like this, although you pretend to be an american, it's important to note that you are not an american, or something to that effect. i couldn't muster a direct quote. but that monologue could have been targeted to my younger self who was beguiled by the american pop culture. i'm no longer as naive. i've explored other ways of thinking. by virtue, watching other cultures study in depth the differences between sarah michelle gellar and sarah jessica parker, elicits a little surprise. growing up embracing hollywood, such confusion did not exist. we just know.

bumping into this movie accidentally though, is like getting lobotomised, part of the drill in the time wasting orbit of the romcoms. the gags are not that funny and reeks of a painful realization that a brown non-caucasian despite being adorned in jewelries is more or less the maid, as reflected in the ivy league-blonde antagonistic behaviour.
