Can they get any smaller?
It was funny this morning when I received an email with this picture from a friend of mine. Not only did he became a father 3 months ago, now he also has a dog. (Hello, meet Ricardo - I cannot believe he named the dog Ricardo!) Anyway, when I saw the picture I immediately focused on the little eyes and how they resemble the traditional Asian features. Also remember the jokes we make to Teresita, etc.)
And I thought to myself: "NO, Nacho. Asian eyes can never get that small. Don't be ridiculous!" - and continued with my ridiculously long expense claim in an Excel Spreadsheet that ironically, made my eyes go THAT small.
Luckily, I left the office right on time and went to a private function to see the movie ALEXANDER from OLIVER STONE. (As I previously shared with our Hungarian friend Gitti: I liked the movie, I did not love it! But totally recommendable) We had some great finger food items (with real cheese, real chicken, real cream) and drinks before the function in a mini networking event.
WE came into the projection room, that judging by the temperature it was more like a huge freezer with cushioned seats (we are sort of preserved for a couple of years after 3 hours of movie in there) and we comfortably sat ready to enjoy the movie, despite some last minute phone calls some people received with their weird and loud ring tone (remind me of telling you about the bitch in our office with the most annoying and loud ring tone ever since the mission impossible one was created!). Back to the story, movie started, great! Half way through the movie I just did what I usually do in the cinemas (no, it is not making out, farting or throwing bubble gum to the people in the front) I simply turned to see people's expressions (note: if you have never done it, do it the next time you go to the movies. Seriously, you do not know what you are missing, then you tell me). I turned and took a look. FLASH!!! There I SAW and I COULD NOT AVOID LAUGHING!
SMALL EYES!!!! They were SMALLER than usual!!!!! A mix of stoned and hypnotized crowd staring at the big screen... almost drooling on their chests, dazzled by the bright colours and somewhat violent scenes. CRAZY! Then I realized that I might have looked the same if someone from the front seats had turned and looked at us in the back. But the difference is: I CANNOT SEE MYSELF. Moreover, during the rest of the movie I could not concentrate on the great battles Alexander had or the amazing features of the movie, but the cute and drooling small eyed crowd at my back instead!
Guys... Girls... never underestimate how small they can get! YOU NEVER KNOW!

There is a proper name for the phenomenon: SES (a.k.a. Small Eye Syndrome) - ask Devrim and look every Asian in the eyes (if you can find them).
'I can't see!'
