I want an iPhone. &lt;br&gt;They look so cool!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Instead of smacking that kid in the head&lt;br&gt;(which is what i would do)&lt;br&gt;the Dad just looked kinda frustrated and tried to pull her away.&lt;br&gt;I am sure if she nags for another 15 mins, &lt;br&gt;he would just buy it to shut her up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"&gt;Related news:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://bellasugar.com/496335" target="_new"&gt;9-year-olds get tanning session, manicure, pedicure and eyebrows waxed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 64);"&gt;"the two-hour grooming routine of Bethany Conheeny:

&lt;div&gt;but here are some of mine --&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 191, 96);"&gt;You are such a&amp;nbsp;quiet person, you 
must not like to exercise at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;hold on a sec, what does talking have to do with exercising??&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;maybe i just dont wanna talk to you.&lt;br&gt;i&amp;nbsp;love everything outdoor!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;roller blading, jogging, golfing, swimming (indoor, this is.)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;i dont know why asians just give out that nerdy vibe that all they do is 
sitting in front of their PCs, &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;they do not eat/drink/talk and the only thing moving&amp;nbsp;are their &lt;span style="text-decoration: line-through;"&gt;hands&lt;/span&gt; 
fingers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;.......fine, i am like that at work,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;but i do like playing sports!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br style="color: rgb(0, 191, 96);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 191, 96);"&gt;2. Let's go to the beach and sun bath! 
i figure you'd like coz you are so tan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;this &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; interesting, another 
coworker&amp;nbsp;said this, totally contrary to what Coworker # 1 thinks.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;well, being tan is not my choice.&lt;br&gt;i look like i have lived in hawaii for 
my life&amp;nbsp;from standing under the sun for 20 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;by the way, this reminds me i need to find those 
japanese-women-hand-gloves-thingy to cover my arms while driving....&lt;br&gt;anyway 
no thanks, i do not want to go to the beach&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 191, 96);"&gt;3. do you eat? (variations include&amp;nbsp;any sentence with the word "diet" 
in sarcastic/bitter tone)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;ice cream&amp;nbsp;and gelato&amp;nbsp;are the the staples of my diet 
(or is it a diet?)&lt;br&gt;currently in search of the best veggie burger in 
town:)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;funny how i'd be called fat in HK&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 191, 96);"&gt;4. Hey, what&amp;nbsp;does moo shu means? (or any other weird&amp;nbsp;chinese food 
names)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;moo what?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;do&amp;nbsp;you see&amp;nbsp;me here typing on excel?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;do you think they hire me to take&amp;nbsp;order for chinese take outs?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;not to mention&amp;nbsp;i&amp;nbsp;hate chinese&amp;nbsp;food!&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-style: italic;"&gt;this one is&amp;nbsp;a bit&amp;nbsp;tricky.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 191, 96);"&gt;5. are you a student?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;do i have a discount?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 191, 96);"&gt;yes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;then yes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="http://www.xanga.com/images/blush.gif"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/flora2046/607574931/false-assumptions-and-stereotypes.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Tuesday, July 31, 2007</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/flora2046/607388361/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/flora2046/607388361/item.html</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2007 22:51:58 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;wishful thinking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://photo.xanga.com/flora2046/9a774139035830/photo.html"&gt;&lt;img title="Santorini" style="border: 2px solid rgb(64, 159, 255);" src="http://x9a.xanga.com/774d673033231139035830/z102295573.jpg" width="400"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;do you have times when you just wanna cut all your ties,&lt;br&gt;step out of your familar world,&lt;br&gt;and go travel somewhere that you think you would never set foot in?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i think i m just incredibly bored.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.xanga.com/images/bummed.gif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;reallie wanna go to greece. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;so pretty!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://photo.xanga.com/flora2046/9a774139035830/photo.html"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  </description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/flora2046/607388361/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
