bonbon... one of those irritating girls who try to break the timid asian stereotype but overcompensate by being loud, obnoxious, and hypersexual.

also, that's 8 words, idiot.

lastly, there's no indication as to what these two people are looking for (girl or guy).

and thus falls into the other stereotype of oversexed, asian dragon lady.

Oversexed and tries too hard, fine. Kinda possibly cute, maybe, although the picture is overposed, sure. But knocking on Hume? And why isn't the beverage of choice something more appropriate to the spirit of the personals ad? You're feeling me...

Too late: animal collective and liars are both very popular. If this was like 5 years ago, you would maybe sound a little reasonable.

"I want to hold your hand - Across the Universe"

Yeah, man I love that band. The first few albums that Across the Universe released were a little lovey dovey, but you still have to give them credit for their catchiness. Across the Universe was pretty solid in all their artistic phases.

i know her, and this is extremely accurate. She has a good heart and she is a good person, but she is at the maturity level of a 7th grader. fellas, or ladies, watch out

i dunno, i like across the universe and all as a musical ensemble, but i feel like people are just going to get all inspired and do four decades worth of crappy covers of their catchy and marketable sound. call me a cynic.

Another Asian girl trying to standout. Get over yourself. Just be be nice and outgoing, rather than what looks like stuck up and full of yourself. People will like you without the ridiculous get up.

February 27, 2008 at 9:41 PM (from campus)
are Bwog commenters (generally) so mean? Just because Bonbon actually has a personality you're going to rip on her for it? If you don't know her, don't generalize, and if you're not friends for some reason, don't be an ass. Didn't your parents teach you that "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"?

February 27, 2008 at 11:28 PM (from campus)
bonbon's new hair is absolutely gorgeous!! she's energetic, positive, open, and a little crazy. hence why everyone who knows her loves her... i hate posts that say something along the lines of "you are all just jealous" but in this case i just have to comment. because even more, i hate to see an all-around sweet girl get trashed by a bunch of judgemental douches. yeah she's asian. and she's herself, totally original through and through. layoff.
