3 reasons why girls are smarter than boys:
the jar expose: what is it about opening a jar that brings out the primitive me tarzan, you jane aspect out of guys? … opening a jar for a chick makes guys feel like the big man … all women know how to open jars … it’s part of those life lessons that your mom teaches you when you are young … how if you tap the sides of a jar’s lid on a counter, it will pop off with ease … or if you run the lid under some hot water, it will also come off just as easily … i wonder if guys really think that without them opening these things, that women would be living in a pickleless and jam free world? … if a girl asks you to open a jar, she doesn’t want what’s inside the jar … what she really wants is for you to have an ego boost … your gf will do it to you, your wife, even your own mother will ask you to do the jar … and if you’re thinking no, my girl doesn’t know the tapping lid or hot water trick, trust me she does lol … its just one of those things that all women know … like how a little rice smooshed together can be used as glue … i wouldn’t be surprised if the jar was invented by a woman hehe
power of the oppa: why do guys love being called oppa so much? … if said with just enough pout and just enough puss n’boots eyes you could get a guy to do just about anything … some guys love being called oppa so much that they like to refer to themselves as oppa … oppa will help you … dont worry, oppa’s here to protect you … oppa this oppa that … why do they do this? … i have never heard of anyone being liked more for referring to themselves in the third person … what if jae talked about what jae thought on jae’s xanga? … don’t go overboard with the oppa … it has to be used somewhat sparingly so it has a good effect when used in situations like … oppppaa can you open this jar for me?
wow factor: guys will never stop falling for girls pretending to be impressed with their big hands or big feet … putting our hands against his and exclaiming wow, your hands are so much bigger than mine oppa … classic hehe … or on the other end of the spectrum, pretending not to be grossed out if his hands and feet are tiny and ladylike … it’s why we ask you to hang pictures and fix things … girls will always ask you to fix stuff that she knows you can probably do without screwing up so we can wow at it later … when what we’re really wowing at is that u didn’t screw it up
shout out to under_rated who is leaving for afghanistan this week … you will be missed and come back safely =)

do it for oppa! ^^ hahahaha its all for fun
hahaha my friend told me its because the “oppa” turns into the “appa” LOL
but yea Im currently in NYC right now. hit me up if you wanna chats! toodles
(btw im chinese not korean) =)
HAHAHAHA! You mean girls can open their own jars?!? Stop making stuff up again :p And NO, I never refer to myself as oppa. Thats kinda weird.
Oppa’s gf opens jars herself, she’s a superwoman. Me thinks then Oppa no dumb.
hahah i’ve never heard of oppa before…maybe i’m meeting the wrong girls =p
i don’t like being called oppa really. but it sure beats being called appa by a random kid knocking on my door. o_O
really? you don’t know ANY koreans? in that case you can call me oppa if you like. but then again that’d require disclosure of our ages. =|
Meh, when are you posting the other 67384317 reasons? I’m a tad bored tonight… should’ve gone out.
well, if you don’t want to on the internet… you can always email me… or IM me… or call me… or send a pigeon?? hahaha. btw, lemon honey tea is so money. thanks =)
How long is your face in transit?
Let me guess, 18 cm?
yes im korean…hehe typical last name “kim shii” lolz
i dunno abt the third person thing… but the oppa line is like catnip for korean guys that’s fo sho.
eyelash batting and a pout = getting away w/ murder
What do you mean, saying the handthing was a trick!? But that doesn’t make sense, ’cause she didn’t like me. *Confusion*
You did it all wrong, from now on buttz won’t open no jars anymore and won’t hang pictures on and off the wall. Hah. Since my ego is perfectly balanced and I’m still asked for such things, I have to believe that girls, mother and grandmothers ask for opening a jar just because the are lazy. You don’t know anyway, the correct way to open a jar is to chop off the lid with your bare hands. As for the oppa thing, “opa” means granddaddy in German, so buttz is not quite sure if buttz wanna be called oppa.
Wait, she performed the handthing but didn’t like me, so so she played me!?? Impossible.
hahahaa! hilarious entry=) jar expose? power of oppa? wow factor? lol.. sure fooled me! but hey, guys can be clever too you know!.. and it’s much easier for us to please girls. all we need to do is say, “wow, those look great!” (shoes, earrings, etc)… even if they look horrible! hahah.. jk
i never do any of these things.. and now i know that that‘s what i’ve been doing wrong! haha
don’t live vicariously thru me – come drink with me!!!!!
well no. my friends are predominantly chinese. and i live in BROOKLYN!!! haha where in nyc are you planning on moving to?
Can I be an Oppa but with a little twist of pimpness to it?
uh oh. I got really small hands. Is that a turnoff ?
okay, maybe girls are a tad bit smarter than boys! =D
yes, “partyboys” are korean. but our album will be released in both korean and english versions. hahahaha. i really don’t know how messenger pigeons find their way back home but many scientists have mentioned the magnetic theory. something about birds’ ability to detect earth’s magnetic field?? yeah, o_Ov anyways, i’m really really old… probably old enough to buy messenger pigeons.
youre so funny, i swear. haha. guys like being called “oppa” because it makes them feel like they’re more of a man..protective and all that stuff. omg. and when guys tell them to call me oppa, i give them a dirty look. i call no one oppa. esp when you tell me to. psssh sucka
Open your damn jar woman!
Love, no. Attracted, yes. Many brain farts in front of the girl, yes. Don’t know what she thinks of me yet. All I know her smile makes me all stupid and self concious.
i think it’s only fair that you tell me yours if i tell you mine. don’t you agree? but more importantly, are you serious about the lovebirds? btw, are there any good korean restaurants in vancouver?
pshhhh whatever jae!
it’s funny you say that, Jae… seeing that Chan and his girlfriend have fingers the same length, but she always claims ‘his are much thicker”, to which we all mull around uncomfortably while muttering noncommitally. I dislike being called “oppa” intensely, it’s like whenever I get called that I get this crazy, uncomfortable feeling like I can never picture her sexually again, knowing that we are now bonded by the familial bonds of Korean Confucian culture… chamnah…
hahaha yes, how did you know?!
well oppa sounds cooler anyways…
oh, i’m sorry about your lovebirds… especially the humping part. you didn’t answer my question about korean restaurant. if it’s any consolation i was born in the year of the ox.
any of them known for their galbi?
Oh, I’d like to apologize if my comment implied that I’m upset about anything. Sorry! Buttz should stop trying to entertain and start to learn how to communicate instead, hah ha.
As for New York, or the US in gerneral, I didn’t manage to complete all the hometests and tasks that are part of the app process in time, so I told them I won’t continue my application. All I can do now is become a transfer student one day. If I ever make it to NYC, buttz will invite you to a big ass dinner, I promise.
Rise glue is cool, but you need to cook it for a long time constantly adding water and vaporizing it. it’s perfect to fix paintings and stuff, sticky sticky!!
Uhm, I mean’t rice.
Through a friend. Met her at dinner. Thought she was cute. Never really noticed her until I started talking to her on MSN, that’s where I notice some nice chemistry. Then I was invited to her sister’s birthday gathering and I start noticing little things. She makes a awesome shock face. She has a nice curves. She has really cheery disposition. Okay I gotta stop. Talk about infatuated. >_<
There’s something wrong with your page or my browser: i checked this page at school and it turns out you have this banner above that never shows up when i’m at home. cute.
Meh, your chatterbox isn’t working either today.
the year of the ox includes 1961, 1973, 1985. i hope that helps. what chinese zodiac sign are you? i’m staying in downtown.
what sucks is if guys insist on fixing something and screw it up worse than it was before….what do you do with his bruised ego once you fix it faster and better than he does?
you look 17 when you’re blinking. are you the oldest child?
i’m sensing you might be jaded about the clubs in vancouver. what kind of music are you into? hip-hop, trance, house, apt.?
i like almost everything too. top 40 hip-hop’s good for “clubbin” but i generally listen to electronic stuff.
Yes. The food was good! Another trick is to wrap a rubberband around the lid of the jar.
Metrosexuals or Alpha males?
Hehe, thank you. About the rice glue: C’mon, I’m buttz, I gotta know. Buttz is mad versatile when it comes to his domestic potential.
Well, the main reason I wanted to go to a school in NYC was because of the city. I grew up in Tokio the first ten years of my life and ever since I moved to Germany I’ve missed an urban enviroment, but I’m sure you’ll easily adjust. At least I loved it although I didn’t know anybody there.
Joni Mitchell is a tough thing to cover and I don’t know anything about Diana Krall except that her music reminds me of the kind of background music that’s playing in cool restaurants in big public places like huge department stores or airports and I like that.
yeah, dunno why girls calling me oppa gets me so hot…guessing it’s just another one of those mindcontrol girl tactics.
had another piece of broccoli…this time in a chicken w/broccoli dish. thinking its just signs of aging.
ooooh long island… haha for school? work? or personal reasons?
what’s oppa? who’s oppa? how do you get to be called oppa? i don’t think i would like to be called oppa, but call me something like, thunder, or kingkong… it makes me feel more manly. and yes, flutter your perdy lashes at me with a little pout and i am putty. men are stupid like that.
and no, hello, i don’t live there. that’s where my friends penny and paul live.
btw, your blinking banner is creeping me out… i keep having to blink back…
seriously, i’m sure girls can open their own jars. but they’re also lazy, meaning they rather go “oppa, open this for me” rather than do it themselves.
but then again, don’t tell them the secrets, if not for opening jars, what else are we good for!?
hahaha, good post. =) But that oppa stuff is only cute when it comes from a cute girl. heh…
Speaking about yourself in the third-person is a bang-on-the-head away from the psycho ward. =|
hehehhe… now I know when korean girls are trying to take advantage of me by calling me oppa. =P
thanks jae-ssi! -.- speaking of… do you know any good sullung-tang jips?
I blink and look at this downpour of props. What do you have in your jar that has so many ‘oppas’ coming over . Yes we all try to open things and pull a popeye for you. The way I look at it sometimes though, women fan the flames for such behavior and sooner or later there might be too much heat in the kitchen. Does that make sense? I hope oppa didn’t confuse you.
hahahaha… yes of course i need my hae jang gook. i’m old, remember? thanks for the 411. btw, were you born and raised in vancouver?
Mmmh, shrimps. Mmmmh, shell food.
German English and German!? Is my English that bad!? Japanese is hard fo sho. I can talk dirty and talk extremely respectful, but I can’t read the newspaper and fully understand it. I did some Italien and spanish and Latin in school but I can’t speak a word. I’d love to be able to speak Korean. All the words I know are: anyong haseo, yabuseo, kokiri and papo and choi go. What does oppa actually mean!?
my hand is big…so is my…HAH!
cools! so will i get to see ur pearly white smile? =D
haha im hiding under a rock in Brooklyn, why dont you come find me? hehe
awwww ur gorgeous AND modest… what a rare combo! hee hee
Hehe, I like Kanji, but I only know a few. I think I’ll stick to chimah bussuh, hah ha, but I need something to start with otherwise I’ll have to wow them by sign language. What about “drop it like it’s hot” in Korean!? Kokiri, I have a Korean friend, we used to go to the same classes and we were talking about Korean/Japanese and she said that one of the words she knew was zo-san which is the Jap equivalent to kokiri so I asked her what it’s called in Korean.
The wow factor’s still bothering me. Is there no chance that she really was impressed by my big, uhm, hands!? Like she touched them and started to get excited!? Otherwise she played me badly and I’d have to pay her back…
Hmmm, nice blog you have here
Never heard of oppa before but sure had a few experiences with jars. Instead of using all your strength to open a jar, I simply tap the lid a few times and open it w/o breaking a sweat, that usually works.
Jae, that’s not me in the picture that’s DJ Kidd lol….that picture was taken at Atlantis on saturday ha ha LOL….yes I know I look 18 don’t rub it in ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well….i’m chinese…not korean…so i dun realli kno how the “oppa” thing works….but how do those things make girls smarter??
sum of the food at Hapa was alrite…but i prefer Guu…n you’re the first girl i kno that likes sake!!!!
PSP = playstation portable. thing is seriously sweet.
help me get one!
Thats why I dont open JARS for girls….I know you girls know how…
i honestly dont care if my dongsengs call me oppa or just by my english name…no preference…everytime i listen to the ost of bool sae..i will think of her…so sad what she had done….
lol – poor julia gulia! i’m actually just using my sister as an excuse to go to las vegas haha!
Yes, yes, yes, I found your post about dried food. Hah ha, a cookie cookbook!??? From now on I demand puckies with dried cranberries.
what is your take on tokyo lounge and kobe steak house?
No need to be ashamed. It’s just good to witness the influential ppl of your time I guess, though you could start with some local unknown bands/artists. I think you must not be sober to enjoy big concerts. I need to get wasted. I need somebody to get wasted with -_- .
i’ve been looking at clubzone.com. i was considering kobe and tokyo because they’re next to each other and we’re planning on doing dinner and club on friday night. but tokyo doesn’t sound all that great now. do you have any recommendations for nice restaurants?
i think Guu used to be Raku…there’s 2 in downtown n 1 in gastown…
yeah something light like japanese would be good since we’ll be hitting the club right after. but i’m open to things like steak and seafood too. somewhere nice and classy. hot waitresses are a plus. lol.
yea…it’s my favorite place to eat…
“get out more”??….too busy w/skool or work?
lmfao..i just new ur wereklorean wit tha way u loked…lol call me dongseng lol…i like mature women rape me plz…lmfao
casual is good. i didn’t mean to sound like we’re going to go out in our tuxedo when i said classy. just want to take our buddy to a “nice” dinner while we’re there. thanks for the info and keep em coming! nice profile pic…but do you have your hand behind your neck? will update later.
steal my ring nothing! u and kankrsore73 get restraining orders. neway, girls can get guys to open poptop cans too if they have nails. that’s not really acting tho i can’t open a soda can for my life. is this progress?
ryc: it’s not the same thing…..it’s a little different.
yess ma’am she is. like the new profile pic!
why? does it bother you, no? then shut up. hehehehehe. j/k
i liked ur old one tha best…yea if u at tah718 sometime holla at me.
dont laugh, but mt creek is in jersey. lame trails…but the terrain parks supposedly good. too bad i dont hit the terrain parks…yet.
see you in whistler…next season!
yes, they all want to bang you. hahahha, surprise?
hahaha, awesome!
I’d like to see Joni Mitchell, too. It appears that she’s kinda unknown in Germany, but all the hip girls seem to love her and I liked her lines about drinking lotsa wine/ getting drunk near the beach. Dre might be hard to catch, but if you want Chris Rock you can always watch Def Comedy Jam. J, my color coordinated coworker got the whole collection and used to give me one or two every now and then. Buyakasha!!
What happened to the Mona Lisa smile style pic Jae!?
hah…same here…i’m always at home these days…
oh, back to the mysterious picture. i kind of liked the other one too.
drunking and scrabble??? lets play that in the next 14-38 months, dont’ sell out this time.
i heard there’s (or at least used to be) a korean club vancouver. have you been?
yeah that’s it, dabong! hahaha. i doubt we’d go to a korean club all the way up there but i think it’d be interesting to check it out. do you go out at all? you sound like a born again (nonclubber) or exclubber in rehab.
oppa? what is that?
Gettin’ tired of your face!? Hah ha, good one. Then I should’ve taken down my pic a long time ago. May I ask what you’re doing to get so tired all the time!? *buttz preparing a hot bath and a hot chocolate*
Chapelle’s TV stuff is great, especially his parodies, but when it comes to famous black comedian’s stage presence, I’m inclined to favour Martin.
I’m looking forward to Chris Rock’s Oscar performance.
yeah!!! play dates! bring ur dog out.. im down in south van now~~
soo.. ur coming to nyc? =P
yea sometimes i hang out at my grandpas…i moved from ny and went to jerseyb ut i still luv tha city…u can find me at mastpeth where my grandparents are at…yea i know maspeth is white-washed, but its where my grandaparents are at so i stay there…
not to make u misinformed but my family really did hustle when i lived back in NY?….even a white-washed town like maspeth…we acgtually were poor.
Hope you feeling better now. It’s weekend! I like N G. National Geographic and a solid travel mag are the next two mags I’d subscribe to. I like the idea about the puckshund. A German shepard owner and I planned to marry our dogs, too. We could then marry your puckshund and our product of gay power humping. Hopefully we’ll get at least for seeds. We could then dress ‘em up in lovely outfits and make them famous and get rich. Did you know hund is the German term for dog!? I need to learn more than chimah bussuh, please.
haha tell it like it is… you go on wiht your bad self. =) anyhow dont worry keep subscribed ill return with a vengeance if not elsewhere..
are you sure about every last drop? you have a brother-in-law? geez, i guess you weren’t lying aboout being old.
Whale is good. Thank you Jae. Now I can call both of my chunky coworkers by their mammal names. Wish you a great relaxing weekend!
*shrug* sorry. but you guys do drink earlier than we do so take that into consideration…? o_O
Jay, your shmatterbox never works.
sorry for the late reply. pictures are up for your convenience. enjoy
hawaii was the bestest. no need to say more.
oppa, shmoppa. us ladies gotta stick together!
oppa’s back from vegas to open up ur jar with my long fingers.
next time i a girl asks me to open a jar ima gonn sy ‘ill open that thing for your’, and smash it against the wall….then say is it open enough for ya?….hahahah
ryc: well at least it’s open…..haah…
like oak st bridge??? lets INTRO OUR DOGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is ur # still the same?
hahaha hilarious.. especially the oppa part.
my buddy just told me he heard that sushi is really good in vancouver. true or false? btw, who’s the new seratonin-less looking model chick in the profile?
hey id pick a puppy and us weekly (too many words in people…i like pictures!) over some girls out there…so im sure theyre treating you juust right.
