Even the ones u get to see on youtube. Even though I find some of them stupid, like the one that had all those chicks running from all over the place to that deserted guy. My favorites are 2. The ha-ppy b'day one and ya the one where the girl has a fight with her boyfriend and walks out of the trailer on to the shoulder of the nerd.&lt;br /&gt;If I was in those ads, I’d be walking in the opposite direction. No make that running in the opposite direction.&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I’m allergic to Axe. That’s right.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I can’t stand the smell of it. It makes me sick. I either get nauseated or I get a headache.&lt;br /&gt;How come? Why?&lt;br /&gt;I’m a humanoid female alien. That’s why.&lt;br /&gt;Sorry I don’t have another explanation. C’mon… if certain girls can be allergic to flowers, I can be allergic to the almighty Axe.&lt;br /&gt;Well it depends…there are times when I can’t smell the Axe. Of course that would mean that your deo has faded far far away.&lt;br /&gt;I had an Axe 'incident' the other day when I was traveling by bus to the city, half way along the trip of group of 8 guys load the bus. All stinking of Axe. I was just waiting for the bus to reach my final destination so I cud get rid of my headache.&lt;br /&gt;Well the ride lasted about 5 mins... but with a bus full of axe, it feels like forever.&lt;br /&gt;*shudder*&lt;br /&gt;So u must be wondering what makes me all clingy like those Axe chicks right?&lt;br /&gt;Take a wild guess…tell me your answers in the comment box. I’ll reveal the answer in my next post.&lt;br /&gt;Ciao &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1285064099181261186-1775120270862555439?l=darkchokolayte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://darkchokolayte.blogspot.com/feeds/1775120270862555439/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1285064099181261186&amp;postID=1775120270862555439&amp;isPopup=true' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1285064099181261186/posts/default/1775120270862555439'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1285064099181261186/posts/default/1775120270862555439'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://darkchokolayte.blogspot.com/2008/07/axe-defect.html' title='The Axe Defect'/><author><name>*Mandy*</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01661800430763593685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_zxnruIFn0qw/R162K_LPddI/AAAAAAAAAeY/7EVl9V2ukaE/S220/just+eyes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_zxnruIFn0qw/SHRMug8qgKI/AAAAAAAAAh8/ZzBCZ0qFGUc/s72-c/Axe_Deodorant_Body_Spray.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285064099181261186.post-4950848016907807923</id><published>2008-07-01T01:16:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2008-07-01T01:23:49.698+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Me Mosiac</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;I hardly start the blog and I’m already doin a tag.Well &lt;a href="http://www.crissdude.blogspot.com/"&gt;Chris&lt;/a&gt; recommended that I do a tag….hopefuly this will get him to post soon.I found this on &lt;a href="http://withnowheretogo.blogspot.com/"&gt;Lemonade’s&lt;/a&gt; blog….and found it really interstin.

Well it's been a year since I stopped. &lt;br /&gt;If I was anonymous, I’d have loads of stuff to blog about everyday....but as u can see, I’m not. Nor am I capable of being anon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who don’t know...I used to have a blog which I had started in 2006. &lt;br /&gt;Which one u say? No point in me telling ya....it's been deleted coz it had too much of trash which was too much of a headache to edit out.&lt;br /&gt;I needed to start fresh so I made this one and hopefully I wont make the same mistakes I made last time ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I’ve named it &lt;strong&gt;Dark Chokolayte&lt;/strong&gt; coz I LOOOOVVVEEEE!!!!!! Dark Chocolate :D&lt;br /&gt;And it's a tried n tested method to pacify me when I’m cranky (which is most of the time).&lt;br /&gt;Plus, the header has been designed and made by me coz I can’t find a decent chocolate blog template. At all.&lt;br /&gt;And lemme say...it feels great to have your own design on your blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I end.....lemme warn you....I suffer from Writer's Block. There will be times when you won’t find a post for days. But I will try my best to fill it with memes or tags.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly I hope more Goans start blogging!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until then....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ciao&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S Have your say :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1285064099181261186-475998150993678342?l=darkchokolayte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://darkchokolayte.blogspot.com/feeds/475998150993678342/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1285064099181261186&amp;postID=475998150993678342&amp;isPopup=true' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1285064099181261186/posts/default/475998150993678342'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1285064099181261186/posts/default/475998150993678342'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://darkchokolayte.blogspot.com/2008/06/once-again.html' title='Once Again...'/><author><name>*Mandy*</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01661800430763593685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_zxnruIFn0qw/R162K_LPddI/AAAAAAAAAeY/7EVl9V2ukaE/S220/just+eyes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry></feed>
