SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind.

The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Famous sibling & what if... 
Permanent link Post a Comment

I remember my local newspaper printed some pics of stars and their younger or older siblings who are not in the entertainment world many years ago and I remember saying Nicole Kidman's sister looks pretty but not star like pretty and I think Tom Cruise' family also not as star like look as he is. The rest I can't remember.

I noticed THIS PHOTO some months ago and often I wonder...if you have a star as a brother, as someone universally applauded as not only talented but handsome as well...how do you feel? Maybe when growing up a bit uncomfortable but how about now? As this brother's wife, love is of course a strong feeling but really if you marry the brother but knows he has a star who is universally admired and loved, how would you feel? Do you sometimes wonder what if I met the OTHER brother first?

Just an observation. To tell you the truth, having a slightly more prettier and more popular and earn more money sibling is never comfortable and if I have a star as a sister, sometimes I would wonder, why her and not me? And as the bride of the brother, I will confess of course that I will look at the other way sometimes but of course my marriage will work out in the end because let's face it, it is an ugly truth but the truth is, no one who is not remotely above an average of 8.0 in looks and status would get anywhere near this man or any man of that calibre. Cynical maybe. My sister once told me our family will never marry into a rich family simply because we are not of that status and our family background isn't exactly perfect. I remember answering who cares?

Well, at my age now and in retrospect, I understand what she meant. It's an awful truth. Status is everything, good looks is a bonus and for women being slim above all else is the most important thing, looks may be average, intellect may be optional. Those who says "Personality is most important" surely must have met the woman at least twice. Remember "falling in love at first SIGHT"?

I therefore find it amusing that beautiful people say I'd rather not be beautiful, I want to be appreciated for my talents, I want a man to love me for ME...when in the first place, you wouldn't have gotten where you are without your looks and the man wouldn't have looked at you if not for your looks. Of course what happens thereafter is all your own hard work but always the first step, being the most difficult one is always based on first impressions and first impressions is always how you present yourself, how you look and how you look depends on your genetics. Of course when you open your mouth and you talk nonsense, likelihood is you may be tolerated for maybe the next few times, depending on the man's patience of course.

What I mean is don't curse your inability to gain credibility because of your good looks. I am sure your not so pretty sibling might wish she had your looks. But at the end of the day, the lesser sibling should understand being lesser in looks doesn't mean lesser in dignity. It is at the end of the day how you carry yourself. But of course that is just words meant to console and to learn to just live with it. Beauty and money and fame are not important, for those who already have it all. I for one wouldn't mind money and more beauty, I can live without fame but I don't mind some healthy positive recognition but I have yet to do anything worth recognising for.

Anyway more famous sibling without a stable relationship may hunger for ordinary moments and envy the other lesser sibling because got children, got wife...yeah..can I have the mansion please? I can't understand why famous people take so much pain to emphasise "I live a pretty ordinary life...". Even the most not so famous star but still credible enough in the entertainment world does not lead an ordinary life...what is ordinary anyway?

Just so you know I am sure the more popular sibling in THIS PICTURE is a good man and a good brother and everybody else is good. But I wonder, what if??

I don't think I will feel uncomfortable having a famous and beautiful sibling. In fact, I'll be happy that I'm related to a celebrity and have people said 'oh, your sibling is so and so' when they first knew. :p

Really. I can see that my sister is a lot cleverer than me when I'm her age, but I don't feel the least bit jealous. In fact, I feel proud of her.

As this brother's wife, love is of course a strong feeling but really if you marry the brother but knows he has a star who is universally admired and loved, how would you feel? Do you sometimes wonder what if I met the OTHER brother first?

I think it will be very shallow for the brother's wife to think like that.

Kidd, i think you're one of the exceptions. Not even once? Not even for a second???? of course you should feel proud of her. I believe you have a positive relationship with your sister but not even ONCE?

The wife issue, shallow is really a suitable word but it happens and people often resign to the fact that well, it's fated anyway so often the thoughts would pass once in a while but people learn to deal with it.

I have felt jealous of other people before, but, of my sister, honestly, not even once. Yes. We have a good relationship. She's my one and only sister. :D

Of course, I do wish that I have as good a memory as her. But I never feel uncomfortable with having her as my sister. You seldom see her studying, but she can still score A for such difficult subjects as Add Maths. I think if she actually spent more time studying instead of playing PS2 and Online games, she will get even better grades. :D
