Due to popular demand, (when I say popular demand, I mean three people) I have come back with the second edition of Keetologue's haikus. They are once again, delightfully illustrated by Teresa Winky Mak.

Ouch, scalp really hurts
I'm wearing a hat next time.
Whoa! Dandruff blizzard!

I went on vacation to Costa Rica with a couple of my girlfriends, and I kept forgetting to wear my hat. Bad idea.

Andy Warhol
Marilyn times ten
You were an awkward voyeur
I love your art still

Andy Warhol is one of my favourite artists. He was a weirdo, but what artist wasn't?

Eyeliner picture by Teresa Winky Mak. Eyeliner mishap
Apply on lashline?
Eye is watering black tears
Ouch! Just poked my eye

No, no one punched me
No, I'm not a battered wife
How do girls do this?

I just don't get this makeup business.

Always an exception to "He's Just Not That Into You"
He hasn't called yet
I'll just keep myself busy
Tell me, do I smell?

Still no call, that jerk
I hope that he burns in hell
Not me missing out!

Ahhh! Phone is ringing!
It's him! I won't answer it.
Or maybe I will.

"He's Just Not That Into You" is my bible. But sometimes I'd like to believe that there are exceptions to what they say. Not so much. Sigh.

Whale sushi picture by Teresa Winky Mak. Whale sushi
I just had one bite
It tasted a lot like beef
PETA, don't kill me.

While in Japan, I went out for sushi with my friend Yuka, and indulged in some whale sushi. I felt really guilty afterwards.

You can do it, Whitney!
Girl, get off that crack
You're every woman, aren't you?
You don't need Bobby

I was ecstatic when I heard that Whitney had divorced Bobby. Let's hope she gets back up on her feet.

An ode to Popeye's Biscuits
Sweet and salty treat
A buttery masterpiece
Mmmm...Popeye's biscuits.

My buddy Sim first introduced me to Popeye's biscuits about two years ago and ever since I've revered these things and have told anyone who will listen about them. They are probably really unhealthy and contain some gnarly ingredients, but honestly you won't know what hit you. Somehow they have the ability to make you feel really happy for the rest of the day. And no, no one paid me to write about them.

Bellydancing bungle
Stiff as a wood plank
Shimmy? Are you kidding me?
Wait! What's with these coins?

It's love at first sight!
Ring, tinkle, jingle, jangle
Can't stop hip movements!

I took a bellydancing class with a friend of mine and it was such a blast! Honestly, those jangly coin scarves make everything fun. If only I could wear it to work.

Yellow fever alert!
"You have unique eyes"
Someone has yellow fever
Hint: it is not me

Anime? Shove it.
You know Chinese? Good for you.
Not interested.

Yuk! Guys with yellow fever often creep me out. When I say yellow fever, I don't mean the kind you get from mosquitoes. I mean those guys that like you because they think you have almond eyes and are really petite and laugh like a uniformed schoolgirl.

Facebook picture by Teresa Winky Mak. Facebook Fiasco
Did we just meet once?
Sure, we can be facebook friends!
Add more people, quick!

Feeling some regret.
Can you stop poking me please?
Limited profile.

Facebook, the social tool of the century, definitely has its daunting moments.
