he's just not that into you

so it's 5am, and I don't seem to be able to fall asleep. so I've decided to blog instead... from my phone. I don't know why I put myself up to type so much from my phone. but since I can't sleep, and my godbro's kid is now cry-.. no, screaming (he just turned 1 last week. not so adorable right now!!!), I might as well blog.. from my phone!

so around late march, I met a friend who recommended that I watch 'he's just not that into you'. I didn't get a chance to see it til apr24, the night of my last exam (which was from 2-5). so I did see it (with a bunch of single girls might I add =P) and ever since, I've been giving it much thought.

a lot of it seemed to be true things that I've never realized, or always knew but never put it into words, aka never thought it was that big of a deal. after rewatching the movie another two times recently (skimmed thru it the 3rd time), I've realized I have gone or am currently going thru approx 4 of the characters' experience/situation (or at least partial)

1) the girl who over thinks, over analyzes, and thinks waaaaaay ahead.
basically, every guy she meets (and maybe just remotely interested in), she'll wonder if he's THE ONE. she then proceeds to analyzing every single detail and action, wondering what they mean and jumping to conclusions, but they usually end up with the guy not interested at all, and the actions are typical guy actions. which sorta in a way is her own fault, while her friends also come up with excuses as to why he didn't call, or other ridiculous, yet hilarious reason for his (lack of) action(s).

2) the girl who had everything a girl could ask for from a guy, but he wasn't the one.
basically. the 'dream' guy was there, but she had her eyes on someone else, or just knew he wasnt the one.

3) the guy who was ready to give everything for her, but she doesn't return the feelings. and can't figure out why.

4) the girl who does everything virtual.
bssically, she'll meet ppl online, arrange dates, then meet up in person.
its 2009, and with the help of technology, i think a LOT of ppl do this. in terms of they meet someone, whether in person or online, get their basic profile and contact online (thru facebook or something). virtual comunication begins. and whether they meet up in person goes from there. and it's true what they say. remember back in the day, when everyone one only had a home phone? and it's either they called or didn't call. but now, there's so much technology (home/work/cell phones, voicemails, txt, personal/work emails, facebook, twitter, msn, etc), that if you're expecting/anticipating the 'other person' to contact you, you'll probably get rejected by all those mediums except for one. how sad is that? yet true.

interesting how a movie like that can provoke so much thinking from me that it got it's own blog post. lol... and that's saying something considering I haven't blogged in awhile!!

great movie tho. I've talked to a few girls to get their perspective on things. like do girls really act like that? do guys act like that too?
can a guy watch it and give me their their thots about it?

PS. it is now 5:30am and I will attempt sleeping again. holy crap I am gunna die at work on monday!!! ah well... starbucks to the rescue!
