SPICE UP YOUR HOLIDAY NITES

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pier 1 Imports. All opinions are 100% mine.

Everybody seems to be on the go for weeks already in preparation for the holiday season...the women most especially. And maybe, just maybe, we are neglecting our men for quite a time already. And an idea came to mind upon seeing this Spiced Cranberry Candles, imagining the bedroom lit with them up until the bathtub. This could be the best gift you could give your better half, a sizzling hot nite together smelling of sweet berries.

Thanks to Pier 1 for such lovely ideas of gifts that I came across this candle as I was shopping for my friends and relatives gifts for our year-end Thanksgiving get together. Some cute stuffs like this Mini sock coin purses to give my mommy friends, those Assorted Flashing Light Bulb Pens for my nieces and nephews, and so much more that you can't find just anywhere. I especially have to buy those Pashmina wraps the elders would appreciate...I'd love to have them myself since it's such a great bargain. Almost everything is, actually. And if anyone of my friends are reading this, grab the Pearl Clutch for me which I really, really would appreciate (wink!) since it matches the new slippers I just bought a few days ago. Or preferring a Modern look for my home, Black and White usually fits in...like those gorgeous Capiz Checker Placemat. Pier 1 Imports really have a lot of possible holiday gifts! They deserve a "like" in their Facebook account as a way of spreading holiday cheers, I tell you! And they share this love by donating $1 to Toys for Tots for every fan they have. You can also further support Toys for Tots by dropping off an unwrapped toy and/or making a cash donation at the register which actually started November and ends December.

Wait no more. Start browsing through and get your candles to spice up your holiday nites at the same time see which to have for your gift giving.

MARITAL FIGHTS ARE DISEASE CAUSING

Marital fights can take years from your life. It puts your health in danger.

According to psychologists, the immune system takes a beating every verbal clash especially those ending in sarcasm and put-downs. These instances puts us in stress. And stress hormones, cortisol and norepinephrine, helps to react in physical danger but it also reduce our body's supply of disease fighting immune cells therefore too often release of these stress hormones is not at all good for our health.

Be informed though that researchers confirms that stress hormone levels and blood pressure rise far more in women than in men...apparently since we are more emotional and that we dwell more on those arguments. The longer couples are married, the higher the chance that they were having those arguments for a long time, thus the higher risk for them in addition to them at a vulnerable age to having different kinds of diseases.

GIVE AND TAKE IN A RELATIONSHIP

Men and women naturally were created differently. People have so much difference that it is common to have disagreements. After all we were raised by different families, we were used to doing different things and living in different ways. And so, in a couple's life together, there are more than a few adjustments made to live harmoniously. We call it "Give and Take". At times you give in and in another time it will be his time to give in.

I know of a couple who admitted that they are the exact opposite of one another. That they are amongst those who said to believe that "opposite attracts" in the early stages of their relationship. Yes they are at first having difficulty living with each other for the simple reason that when one likes this color, the other likes another. If one is the messy one, the other is the ever so neat better half. They had their share of tantrums and fights until they come to an agreement a couple of months after the wedding bliss have gone plateu...that they need to give in at times.

At one time, they argued on having the griller placed not outside the house but on the porch where the husband can grill while he drinks his brandy during days of needing to relax. Not that there is no way to vent out the smoke since it is open top with sliding glass door, but the wife insists that it is so out of place there. That she prefers it out in the garden because it looks better there. In the end, they agreed to let it stay in the porch as long as it will be covered when not in use. Husband bought her a real nice Grill Cover that matches her green couch cushions. She conceded this time, next time it's his turn!

WEDDING MONTH

December is one of the busiest month for couturiers, caterers, event coordinators and wedding planners. And this is especially true here in the country.

It simply is the month most couples choose to finally take the vow, to prove of their love for one another...to finally get married. I, for one, have this unfulfilled dream of saying "I do" in December. Maybe because this is the season when most relatives and friends are visible from their long time absence under their workloads. Maybe because the holidays is partly to blame for the pouring out of sentimentality of everyone. Or it could also be the unusually colder climate that makes people love cuddling more.

...and this is one reason why I love this month the most, being the romantic fool that I am (wink!) I find December as the Love Month other than the other months most believe it to be.

LOVING DAVID BENOIT

COLLECT AND SELECT

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Smingle.com. All opinions are 100% mine.

"Collect and Select is the wisest thing to do" is what I often hear my dad say to my brother. And in my mind I know that it also is for me. At this day and age, we have to be giving ourselves further chances of finding that perfect mate. That special someone who can make us happy at the same time who we can make happy. And not just anyone who happens to come along...but he who fits your qualification.

We know that it's not easy to outright find that person. Therefore we go dating. We try and meet up people...then again, with that we are limited to those among our circles of friends and their acquaintances. And more often than not we succumb to facing someone we almost have no knowledge about which results to embarrassing meet up's. Either you're both trapped to a long boring night out or cut-off date that leaves you both frustrated.

Why not try the very effective and practical virtual dating? As the European Journal of Social Psychology says, "People who go on virtual dates first tend to like each other more when they meet and are two times more likely to go on a second date." It's like you have gotten past the uncomfortable stage of getting to know the basics of one another. Then you get to be more confident that both of you have enough knowledge on one another to get you interested for the first and second dates...which you can continue to build on the succeeding dates. And interaction with someone in the most comfortable environment for you helps a lot in doing away with queasiness. THS Investigates very words about it, "Singles can interact in a simulated dating environment online from the comfort of their own home." I personally go with such an initial interaction, at a distance. Well, not only will you be more comfortable at the comfort of your home but the common human reaction to meeting an unknown individual of nervousness and uncertainty can be forgone.

Now that it's the start of the "colder" season, a time to snuggle, a time to have someone to snuggle with...I again remember the first time I've heard of this virtual dating. I did not believe it until I have tried it...and tried it I did, with http://www.smingle.com. It is that time of the year when people mostly seeks companionship as well therefore I truly found a lot who feels the same yearning as I did. And I got to meet not just those within my usual selection of dark hair and dark eyes...but beautiful blonds and redheads with green and blue eyes of the west!!! I truly enjoyed it there at Smingle, and I know you would to. You even get 3 months free by simply uploading a photo.

...so what's the wait?! It is but a click away to finding your perfect "virtual mate" that is possibly your "reality mate"!

MISSING YOU, SIB!

Been missing my best bud for so long...and now that she's finally back and just a few hours away, its frustrating not to be able to see her pronto!!!

I MISS YOU SO MUCH SIB!
AND I LOVE YOU!
HOPE TO SEE YOU REAL SOON...

MANLY THINGS

Soon it will be gift giving once again...and you don't know what to give HIM. I know how you feel, it's the same for me each and every year, and not just once a year considering all the occasions we are obliged to give and the non-occasional days when you just want to give him something (wink!)

If you are like me who read pocketbooks, I'm sure you also have come across novels that circles around the earlier centuries. And maybe somehow can appreciate those times when men have this so called "study" or this own room where he settles down to, to do his work. More like a library to which does not commonly interests women before. I like the idea of having such for my hubby, if and when I have one already hahaha. I guess these days it is better called "office" or office space in the home.

And this gave me an idea of having an old-fashioned library in our home that have stuffs to make it old fashioned but homely. Maybe you can start having one as well so you can fill it up little by little through gift givings in the coming year. GREAT IDEA, right? And the first that comes to my mind that is old fashioned will be the clock. Thinking of Grandfather clocks, well, if the place is big enough maybe something like it. But I have seen this site with hermle clocks and those wonderful ideas I have never thought before. Like this table here that I find uniquely magnificent as well as this tabletop glass encased hermle clock. What do you think? Does your husband have his own study or space like such?

Well...I hope this help you somehow with the gift ideas you're suppose to be thinking of as early as now for the coming year-end celebrations.

MEN ARE BIG BOYS

"Men's second childhood begins when a woman gets a hold of him."
~ James M. Barrie

Can we blame it on human nature? Women are basically created to pamper. It pleases us to take care of people, especially our love ones. We have this maternal instinct to take care of our kids. That no matter how much we need a Handbook for Dummies when we first hold our first borne, we still know how when worst comes to worst. And this instinct we extend not only to kids, but to our man. We tend to go soft on them. We try to make everything right for them. We do things that will make them happy. AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS! Since men and women were created to fit each others needs, this is probably when men gives in to what the women needs to do...to their advantage! On the other hand, we love them more when they let us do it. It's like fulfillment of our duty being a woman. Even on the negative end...when they whine and we reprimand (hahaha!)

Therefore, I truly agree with James Barrie, don't you?

IN LOVING YOU MORE...

I remember seeing you on your knees with love in your eyes...
you were holding that sparkling ring that I have never removed since.
A few months after, after a blurry of preparation...
we walk down the aisle and you made me yours to keep.
TO FOREVER we vowed...
till death do us part.

Yes, DEATH is a reality we hate to face when it comes to the ones we love. But looking around us, we know that it comes in a snap. We believe in our heart that we can never be prepared to let go if that reality will be tomorrow. And the same goes for our better half. He almost do not want to think about it as well. But we are thinking about it NOW...and in your minds eye you put yourself in his shoes. You cannot leave him just as he is now. You cannot leave him worrying because you are not insured. WHY DO SO WHEN YOU CAN INSURE YOURSELF and in your heart you would know that you are saying "...in loving you more".

Buy Life Insurance the easiest way. With no hassles to filling up form after form, nor a need to give up a lot of your time. Now you can do it online wherever country you are, because one of the ever first companies in the US is making it possible for you to have online insurance. Don't let him worry when your time comes....

BREAK-UP

"WHY?" A question that is continuously ringing in her ears and is at the back of her mind 24 hours a day as she tries to understand the reason for the break-up. She may be trying to top one question over another digging the root of the problem. But no matter how much she denies it, she knows that IT IS OVER.

Are you in this state of heart wrenching pain? Had a recent break up? Or maybe on the verge of breaking up? Let Joey Albert join you in your pain...listen to her lovely song and let her help you admit the fact that IT'S OVER NOW.

A HOUSE TO CALL HOME

Nothing more important for soon to be wed couples than to prepare for their life together. And in our present day, it is but natural for women to be assured that their husbands to be can provide for the family that they will be building.

Personally, a house to call our home is amongst the very firsts to take into consideration. It is never a contentment for me to just rent in apartments. I have to have my own place, as I am sure any wife would want. Two main parts of the house comes first, the bedroom and the kitchen. In my mind I see either modern or rustic bedroom furniture. My kitchen would need to be sparkly clean, mostly in steel or wood.

But a house is just a house without the warmth and the love. And every family loves building memories. How nice it would be to have them in your own place and not in those places you will be renting?!

CAN YOU HAVE TWO MEN IN YOUR LIFE?

Have you ever been in such a dilemma when you just can’t decide who you love better? That you can have either one of them so in your mind, you just let them be there both for you…but in reality you have to choose!?! Well, some would say “lucky you” to find not just one but two who interests you that much and that the feeling is mutual. But the truth is ~ it is difficult!

Don’t get me wrong, I am not having such a dilemma…well, I do, but only with my problem between choosing for “McDreamy or McSteamy?” Ring a bell? If you are a fanatic of Grey’s Anatomy (or as addicted as I am…yeah, TOTALLY!) you would know that McDreamy is Dr. Derek Shepherd, and McSteamy is Dr. Mark Sloan. These are the two sizzling hot male characters that’s mainly the reason to my unending need to continuously watch the chapter after chapter of the 6 seasons of cd that I have until I reach the very last episode, next to the fantastic write up that truly pokes my emotion with the real life crisis that happens to the patients and the people in a hospital setting. These two characters make my mind go crazy with wanting to be in Meredith Grey’s life, more so within the hospital and within reach of Shepherd and Sloan. ( I wonder…it used to e me wanting to be a Jedi or a super hero, now this?! Haha!) Funny but just now I am having difficulty deciding what story to write in my head to make me fit in the life of my McDreamy or McSteamy that would match up with either one of them. And to whom should I be attracted to really? They actually are two very different men, but both worth fantasizing over, tsk! I love them both but who will be best to be my happy ever after? Darn!

And this is when I stop and sigh, “I am glad in real life I don’t have to choose between two such adorable men!” Do you or have you? It will be magnificent to hear such a real life story of such.

FUN TIME, BOND TIME

Relationships cannot last without friendship. And within friends there always is a common ground. Mine would be paintball guns!

There's nothing more fun than gooing around with friends. And it has always been a dream to have an adventure. I have not found earlier a circle of friends that would want to crawl down the ground, hide in barrels, run around carrying rifles and pretend to be in The Farm as CIA agents being trained...but now I did (my special someone included...wink!)! And its amazing that we have this craving to try paint balls. Its fun to play them as a group fronting our laptops, but I bet it will be a blast to do such in real life! Soon!!! Actually there will be an upcoming "long weekend" which I am looking forward to. And how nice it would be to finally make this craving happen!!!

What do we need? First off, we've got to find the best place to do this...and the paintball gears that we will be needing of course! It would be awesome to do this in a forest-like place, so I guess we'll head out in the country side.

How about you? Have you tried doing this? With your friends?

WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT PRE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENT

This is something quite popular these days to marrying couples, and...

I wonder what
FILIPINO'S and NON-FILIPINO'S
say about this?!
(WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THIS?)

Are you among the practical people who believes that you have the right to decide how much of what you have worked for and saved for you will willingly give to your other half? Maybe you are just being careful believing that one can never tell the real score until you are years married and that it will not be a mere one or two years before you wholeheartedly trust this someone of all your possessions? That you are just aware of the fact that not only those women you read about who lost their everything to someone in a snap but you yourself can also be a victim of such injustice? Are you for this pre-nuptial agreement that is now being accepted by the society and deemed to be just a wise move?

Or are you against it believing that a pre-nuptial agreement is something used only by or cold , untrusting, and presumptuous individuals? That if you truly love your better halves you care less for the material things and that "what is mine is yours and what is yours is mine" counts for you? And that you know in your heart that your relationship have nothing in between yes or no before the vows, meaning the moment yo sworn to each other there will definitely be NO BACKING OUT?

WOULD YOU OR WOULD YOU NOT
HAVE PRE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENT?
(or maybe HAVE YOU or HAVE YOU NOT?)

TOO YOUNG TO BE IN LOVE

Is it just me or everyone get to hear in their lifetime "You're still too young" whenever love is the topic?

You and I will always be just a kid in our parent's eyes. That no matter how old you become, they are always older than you are...which for them means they know better. And at times, we let them believe that they are though they are not.

Loving is something that comes and goes in every stage of our lives. BUT there will come a time that you finally know that "THIS IS IT!" And it is not always the same age as when another found hers. One may have it a little later than you did, or even far far later than you did. This do not necessary mean that YOU ARE TOO YOUNG (nor are you too old in this regard) because loving is unique for each one of us. Love is too complex yet also too simple...depending on YOU AND HIM, and how you define it and how you go about it. We have every right to declare to the world that you are IN LOVE regardless of whether they believe it to be true or not because it is YOU who feels it beating, and it is you who feels it glowing.

TIME WILL REVEAL

Are you the type that jumps from one relationship to another, being strong enough to move on and not dwell on the past believing that if it's not meant to be then find which one is?!

Or are you amongst those who makes sure, either being doubly careful not wanting to get hurt or probably have gone through it so many times already that you are careful of breaking your heart once again? Or it's just possible that you are just very much aware of the possibilities and would want to do everything right the first time?!

I have been both, actually. In my younger days, when I knew that I'm too young for truly serious relationships to the point of ending up in a wedding ceremony right away, I can psyche myself into moving on though not outright "new" man. I move on by going back on track with or without being involved once again. At the latter part, I am now more experienced with life and knows that TIME matters. That in time, it will all be revealed to you what the best to do and of what you both really feel.

VERBALLY ABUSED

It is frightening to be "physically abused" but it is as hurtful to be "verbally abused".

There are couples that go on separate ways to avoid being in such a situation that both will regret, and one of which is the exchange of painful words. But there also are some that stays but suffers the effects of being abused. Either they believe to love the other so much that they can bear any assault, they have no choice because of a child that blossomed during the relationship, that they are tied in the bonds of marriage already or worse of all is when they are not aware that they are being abused already.

Words can affect us. Positively or negatively, whatever was said directly to us affects us. And emotionally, we carry it with us even after it was said and forgotten. Unfortunately those words molds us to what we become as we continue to hear it, and live with it. If time and again we are reminded of our weaknesses, insecurities build up. In the end we became enslaved by it and in ourselves believe that we really are what was said of us. The other way around, strengths became the foundation to our reaching our goals.

WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE RESPECTED! Do not let anyone pull you down to what he thinks you are when you know that you are more than what he sees in you. If by chance that you do have a weakness, he should be there to help you overcome it, he should be loving you with or without it. And not rub it in and laughs at your face with it. Because he does not deserve all the goodness you have if your weaknesses he cannot accept. NOBODY HAVE THE RIGHT TO HURT YOU WITH ANYTHING: physical blows or splitting words.

LOVE LETTERS AND CARDS

I am a sentimental fool...I admit to that! I kept all the letters given me since childhood, varying from birthday cards friendly cards, get-well-soon cards, ALL KINDS of cards, noted and letters...not forgetting LOVE LETTERS.

I love writing therefore, as expected, they write back. But it touches the heart to receive one when you're not expecting it. Yes, it's usual to get one when there is an occasion or celebrations...so why not give one on an ordinary day just saying you miss them? or just sharing love to your better halves? family or friend? You don't also need an excuse to send letters and cards. It is one way of keeping in touch, it is one way of letting someone know they are thought of. And not just sending them a very simple text message, but something better. something more tangible like photo christmas cards or photo whatever-occasion cards. and something more personalized is always better than just those that you can buy anywhere.

This is such a great idea that I am now signing off to print some and send them asap ;)

BAKIT NGAYON KA LANG Filipino Love Song

MOVING...

It is not unusual to see a family moving-in in your neighborhood. Life is unpredictable, yes, because there are times when you yourself are surprised with the sudden turn of events. One moment you're happily celebrating life of being single and next thing you know you met the man of your dream and you're getting married. Another time you are loving your place, the place you grew up to with your loving parents and the next instant you are about to move out whether you like it or not. Sometimes it's your choice like when you opt to migrate, but there are also times that you have to find a more accessible place to your work place or to your own family's sake.

What I believe to be getting more and more popular are those condominiums that are in the heart of the city and in most preferred place to be. Wise. But wiser still, you don't get a very big one, just enough for you and your hubby, or maybe your family if you started already. And what you only worry for is the space for your stacks and boxes of things you cannot let go of. Gladly, there are places for such already...it's Self Storage Ipswich. Whatever you're concern is about this, they have them answered and dealt with. Check and see the convenience these has to offer and i'm sure you'll end up saying what I do..."That's a great idea!"

LOVE THE STORY OF #1 ~ ALMOST HEAVEN by Judith McNaught

BACK COVER SAYS...

ELIZABETH CAMERON

The Countess of Havenhurst possessed a rare gentleness and fierce courage to match her exquisite beauty. But her reputation is shattered when she is discovered in the arms of Ian Thornton, a notorious gambler and social outcast.

IAN THORNTON

A dangerously handsome man of secret wealth and mysterious lineage, his voyage to Elizabeth's heart is fraught with intrigue, scandal, and a venomous revenge.

Destined for each other, yet wary of each other's motives, Elizabeth and Ian engage in a dance of suspicion and passion that tests thevery soul of their star-crossed love. As a twisting path of secrets takes them from London's drawing rooms to the mysterious Scottish Highlands, Elizabeth must learn the truth: is Ian merely a ruthless fortune hunter at heart?

JENIE SAYS...

One of the best stories I have ever read. I love reading it over and over! Imagine being transported back in time where women goes to balls and dances in court in their flowing wonderful dresses. You will be caught up in the the book feeling that you were there yourself. Experience the simplicity of life and love in their times...but be surprised on how passionate they are too.

The very beautiful Elizabeth being a martyr of needing to save her family by getting married found herself in the arms of not her fiance but the most handsome Ian and falling hopelessly in love.

BONDING TIME

Giving time to be with one another is a key to a sturdier relationship. May you be two single couple trying to make it work or a married couple with kids and fighting your way in keeping the fire burning...YOU HAVE TO HAVE TIME ALONE WITH ONE ANOTHER.

And it has always been in my romantic mind's eye to be in the woods and cuddle in front of the fire, dive in the water naked together, be inside a cozy tent for hours without worrying you have to wake up in a few minutes or be late for work. How nice ti would be to spend a few days in a secluded area with just the two of you, bonding. Learning more of each other you have not had the time to in your fast pace of life in the city, discovering ways to make each other be better as an individual and as a couple, or simply enjoying each others company.

End the wait, get into the comfy and safe to travel on rvs and get your most deserve vacation for two!!!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN HEALTHY FIGHTS?

Within my dating years, I have heard, not just a dozen times, that it is normal to have disagreements in a relationship. In fact whenever my relationship with a boyfriend ends, it never passes without an advice from friends to have healthy fights. That maybe we separated because we're too placid. That it is healthy in a relationship to have "healthy fights".

Up until now I don't believe that! Do you?

Maybe it's my belief that people get along with their similarities. Maybe I still think that talking things through right away is the solution and there is no need for fights, raised voices or flying objects included. That there could be spice in a relationship other than tension, clash, friction, argument, squabble....

Or am I right? Maybe it is proper to have those healthy fights? Maybe that is still the reason why I am single??? What do you think?

LOOK FOR HIM

People think in varying ways. Some believe in soul mate, some believe in meant to be, and some believe in looking for the right one or paving ways to meet that special someone.

If you are amongst those who think that we are given choices, free will, the responsibility of living your life and finding for yourself how your life will turn out...we are on the same line of thoughts. I know that the heavens have plans for each one of us, but then the end still depends on how we live it, on our part on it and on our every decision.

Therefore, in finding the perfect mate, I know that He alone can give me who is the best for me but I have to work for it as well. I have to pave way to meet him. How can I if I will just be cooped home? Or live in a shell? But I don't have an idea when, where, or how. Thus, I know I have to give reasons for my special someone to find me. And it could be at work, it could be at church, it could be at a party...or it can even be at toronto canadian dating site. He could be anywhere!!! Agree with me?

The thing is...GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO FIND YOU! As surprising as it can be, he may be on those dating sites made availble for romantic fools like us (wink!)

GAIN LOVE THROUGH THE STOMACH

Do you believe that MEN WILL LOVE YOU MORE IF YOU LOVE HIM THROUGH HIS STOMACH? By fulfilling his hunger and cravings for food?

The truth is, I've been hearing a lot about this, but up until now I have no answer to that question. Thinking about it, I LOVE TO EAT. And maybe, just maybe, giving your man what he loves (which may be eating most of the time) will guarantee return of that love. From my previous relationships I gathered that men are simply more interested in eating than women are, them also not being overly conscious of bulging stomachs. So I concluded that pleasing them with tasty and sumptuous meals will make them happier, more thankful and more loving to you.

MY BABY...

I have always wished to have my own car to drive since teenage life. Its been an envy to see one oozing away in their own baby's, may it be a salivating brand new car or sparkling though Used Jaguar Tempe.

In my mind I see myself behind the wheels driving along the highway, and as the light turns red, a hunk pulls over beside me and eyes me and my baby. BIG LAUGH! But a dream that can come true!!!

We honestly can say that it will easier to make happen with second hand cars. Its not practical nowadays anymore to go grabbing brand new ones when you can have the same at a lower cost. Millionaires go tired of them in a few months, replace them, and leave them in sale for us to partake with. SUMPTUOUS! haha. So let's go window shopping and you never know, you might actually have one for yourself at a price just a wee bit higher of your old car when sold.

KISSING...

DREAM HOUSE

Every couple have their own dreams to fulfill, and amongst them were their dream houses. The sanctuary of their love, a house to fill with love and kids.

I've always thought of having one with a wonderful landscape, a garden to lay around together in, a pool to dip into during the night and make fabulous love. This brings to mind Austin Custom Pool Builder. Who else can make the best but them.

Blame me not for looking far out ahead, but honestly, I've been building my house in my mind since I had my first boyfriend in High School. But believe me or not, I have never pictured anybody with me yet. It's always a faceless man for fear that when I think of it, it will not come true...or maybe for fear of being disappointed that it's not that present love of my life. Lucky me, I never felt disappointed, because up until now I am building those dreams in my mind.

And now I whisper to myself, I don't need to wait for that man to build my dream house. Why not put it up, and wait for that someone to complete the picture?! Right-O?

AGE DOES MATTER

Personally, I believe that AGE DOES MATTER when it comes to relationships. Because accept it or not, there is a need for connection and the level of maturity and understanding is affected by age, in addition to it alone will be exposure or experience.

Women naturally matures earlier than men. And so if a woman per chance will be older than the man in a relationship, there is a greater chance that the man will be left behind when it pertains to decision making and preferences. And remember that it is vital in a relationship that you have communication. You need to enjoy talking with each other, not not merely trying to be like the other to try and meet half way. Because if you are thinking way ahead, the future, there will come a time that both of you can do nothing but talk.

Physically, women matures easily as well. And insecurities can develop which will also affect the relationship. Attached to it is jealousy...then will come the misunderstandings, waivering respect, and so on and so forth.

Men can be older than the women and still they meet. And that's partly because the maturity of the woman coped with the maturity of the man, them being late bloomers.

THIS IS ACTUALLY JUST MY POINT OF VIEW...what can you say about it?

LEGAL MATTERS OF THE HEART

We fall in love, then we break our hearts....

It is not unusual to hear such stories. That's how life is. But what is not so common is the next stage to that, and that is:

We fall in love, get married, break our hearts, and get separated...

Sad to say, this thing is getting more and more common. The word DIVORCE, SEPARATION or ANNULMENT seems to be getting frequently heard among our peers. That no matter how we find it wrong, no matter how we want to help and advice the ones involved, we just have to accept sometimes that not every relationship is worth keeping. That there's so much to consider but then time comes when the ones involve have to let matters be settled legally. And there's nothing like the Austin Divorce Attorney who can help you the most. We have to admit that there's much to take care of, and both ends do not always get into agreement. That is if there's not a single way...a tinnie winnie bit of chance left....do the right thing and let your attorney make it right for both of you.

"MEN LIE, THEY JUST DO" by Madonna

"MEN LIE, THEY JUST DO" by pop idol Madonna is a popular phrase for me. Maybe based from experience, I can say that "Yeah, she's right!"

But I guess the "In every rule there is an exemption" can also count here. I cannot generally say that they lie since I do not all of them...not ALL men but MOST men do, perhaps.

Why you say? I actually do not know because I AM A WOMAN! Maybe you can enlighten us, if you are a man?

SCENT TO PRICK THE SENSES

Human easily reacts to Scent...and when we speak of attraction to the opposite sex, the SCENT matters a great deal. Sometimes next to physical attributes, sometimes greater.

We all want to have someone smelling nice and good to be with. But its not as simple as anyone wearing anything. There is the so-called scent to match your personality and the scent to match your body chemistry. You simply have to know what gives you the boost that you need and not the other way around.

And of course, there is a plus point to scents that are within the elite social circle...because admit it or not, we give a little more preference to those wearing branded ones than unknown scent. May it be truly branded or smells like the branded ones doesn't matter sometimes. Especially if you can't tell one from the other. And thanks to sites like Scent.net for allowing us choices for opportunities to prick the senses.

HE...SHE

One of the greatest differences between the sexes is their perception of sex.

Most common is MEN being able to have sex just with visual stimulation and WOMEN needs more than just the senses, but more of the intangible things like love, comfort and care.

LOSING A LOVE ONE

The heartache of losing a love one is tremendous. And the burden one carries with it is so great that one tend to care less for anything else but the need to grieve with the loss.

TV ADDICT COUPLE

It is wonderful to see couples that have aligned interest. This states their compatibility. And in one glance you know that they spend time together on common ground and that it is most likely that they enjoy being with each other.

I have seen TV addict couples and it is not such a big deal for them to just stay home on weekends. They even call it "quality-time-home-weekends". And hour after hour, they are hooked watching TV!!!

But now it's good news for them that there is Free TV Online because they can do this even if not secluded "weekly" in the sanctuary of their home. They can enjoy it even if outdoors. They can watch TV in their carry on laptops while loving the garden breeze, the mist of the beach, or anywhere else to do so somewhere different. After all...it often creates more thrill and spark to be somewhere else and still being together.

Experiencing something new together is always an added spice to your relationship, right?

CORSAGE

LOVE AND DESTRUCTION

"I love you!" does not just end up with "I love you, too!"

There are innumerable outcomes to hearing those words when you count the days, the months and the years that it has been said...depending on what comes with it. Does it come with a harmonious life together? Or does it come with a stressful day? A peaceful environment? Or a difficult boss?

Therefore it is but right that in a relationship you get involve with your partner. You don't just go loving each other inside the bedroom. You have to give love through sharing, consoling, giving advice or sometimes simply listening and being there for him.

A company owner once had a big problem his company with regards to fraud that he got involved with it so much that he carried the problem at home without voicing it out. That affected his relationship and added to his confused mind...in the end losing them both.

Talk about it! If only he had...his wife's previous employer has had similar experience and his very wife had help solve it by advising on data destruction. One form of fraud, which is data recovery/data theft, has been seen to by the data destruction security service. Data disposal in its proper way like hard drive shredding is one of the ways they do to protect sensitive information.

"IF ONLY...", let this phrase not be in your vocabulary when it comes to your relationship because this can only mean REGRET!.

ADMIRATION

"Admiration is a curiosity."
~ by Greg Evans

BOY TOY

I have always thought of this, BOY TOY. How come it is thought of as such then points to cars, bikes, things as such. We definitely can make it a GIRL TOY as well.

But what the heck! We are women and women are there to please men more than the other way around. (well, that is after the courtship!)

And so in my mind, I think of what to please my man than of what he do not do or give to please me. Agree with me in saying that it is human nature to be that way. That when we are in love, we tend to give our all more selflessly.

How did this came to mind? Well, I heard of this Los Angeles Auto Insurance and reminded me of cars and him. Men definitely will be ecstatic to be given such a toy, and will appreciate it even more to be informed that there is an insurance for that toy.

THINK OF YOUR WEDDING RING

THE BAND TO SIGNIFY YOUR FOREVER

ADDICT MATE

We have to accept the fact that internet is addictive. And having a better half addicted to it is much much more preferable than having someone addicted to something else.

Truth to say, we can even be glad that they are at least they stay home as compared to those others whom you have to search for else you won't be seeing awake since they come home in the wee hours of the morning and wakes up after you're gone to work.

One thing you have to do is to make sure that they have satelite high speed internet to keep them rooted at home. Furthermore, it is beneficial to you as well loving technology and its gift of ease with those internet availabilities at the comfort of your home.

You just have to be a little persuasive and artful in making them leave their seats in front of the PC if you think you need their time away from the internet!

MY ALL by Mariah Carey

HEARTBEAT? TICK-TOCK

TICK-TOCK, TICK-TOCK!

Time flies by whenever you are together. It seems that there are endless things to talk about, not wanting to end the time you have with each other.

This actually comes to mind each time I look at wall clocks. The romantic me always goes back to the happiness of having another. Whatever thing I look at, there always is a connection. And as always, as I look at a clock, as I did so just a few minutes ago when I browse around looking for a wonderful one that would be nicely put in my bedroom wall,I can't seem to stop such thoughts float by.

AMIDST

MEN JUST LOVE SPORTS

The men in our lives is what we want to please most...and believe it or not, men simply love sports. I have yet to hear of a man who does not perk their ears at a mention of sports.

And it is but imperative that we try and give them what is closest to their hearts. It is nice to please, not for anything in return. Even just the thought of seeing their eyes lit up and that wonderful smile they will throw your way...how I love pleasing them. And it probably is connected to the maternal us. On how we want to take care of people, on how we want them to feel happy and satisfied, on how we tend to spoil them and give them what we know would complete their day.

One thing I have heard of recent that gives one BIG impact are these sportsbooks reviews. Have you seen it? Have you tried giving your man such as this? Definitely worth a try!

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

It does not hurt to try and look different at times. As human nature, we crave for attention. It is most pleasing if the people we care about notices us, more so comments on the effort we make to be better in his/her eyes.

In so saying, we do whatever it takes to make changes just so it will not always be the same old boring you. We have new hair cuts, we change wardrobes, or even to the point of changing our eye color. Glad there are a lot of ways now to do such. It does not have to be limited to Halloween Contacts but an ordinary day eye contact lens that gives a whole new different look. Probably matching your outfit, or even your hair color.

Call it vanity if you want, but I call it fashion. I also can say it's just one of those simple ways to give your love one a poke for seeing you only as you always are...and now surprise him and yourself with a whole new spark.

KISS OF LIFE by Sade

HONEY, HAVE YOU SEEN THE HDMI CABLES?

As in every household, husbands tend to lose his things and asks his better half about it. You hear him asking where his shirt is, where his watch went, why his swiss knife isn't where he left it, even where his HDMI cables has been transferred to.

Sometimes it is endearing to think that he needs you even in such a tiny thing...but then at times it's irritatingly redundant to hear him ask you about his things when he should be keeping them to where it should be in the first place.

Men are generally such a clutter freak but then there are always exemption. I will be truly happy to have someone as organize as I am so as not to create any irritating feeling of needing to always clean up after my man. Glad I have yet to find the courage to choose and finally settle down.

MOMENT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR

SHOW YOUR LOVE

We don't need to give love only on holidays, as some says through songs. It will be a lot nicer to say "give love on all the days..." And we can truly do that in so many ways. Not just to the people close to us but to the people we go to work with, to the people we enjoy the weekends with, to the people around us.

In small ways we can do that. How you say? Look around you and think of any problem that common people have and at least contribute a little in avoiding it. One classic example I instantly thought of is pollution. Everyday we travel; to any place we go there are means of transportation and in my mind I see fumes. If only every vehicle owner be considerate of themselves and others. do the best way to give your car what it needs for proper function. All the parts and pieces that needs changing must be changed like the car engine, truck exhaust, electrical systems,... whatever else it needs. From components and accessories, its magnificent to drive something beautiful, sleek, fast, suave... but its magnanimous to drive your car knowing it's not hurting anyone.

DO YOU APPROVE THIS FAMOUS WORDS?

"If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be." ~ anonymous

I have heard this quote often enough since puberty. It sounds romantic at some point, sounded uplifting sometimes, and heartbreaking other times... depending on the time it was heard. But when I try and think it through it seems that whoever wrote this did so in a way that it will matter whichever time you are in.

Of course we have no choice but to LET GO if time comes and the relationship entails letting go. This quote will probably help give you hope if hope is needed for you to move on, or put you down more when hoping will bound you to wait instead of moving on but you still definitely will let go IN TIME!

"IF IT COMES BACK TO YOU", it may be forever but it may also be not forever. Because in the end, what made it yours to keep is how both ends meet; how the couple made it work; and how God made magic for everything to make it work. "IF IT DOESN'T IT NEVER WAS" is just an added pat in the back for you to finally accept the fact that you have to let go.

Well...this is just how I see it dissected as that. Is it agreeable? Or not?

EARNING MORE

In the Philippines there is the so-called "pogi points" that men aims to have to have edge over another in the eyes of the woman they are vying to get "yes" from. They were the material things that they possess to increase their chances since practically speaking, it's not anymore just mere physical attributes or personality that pleases most women of the century. Two can have all those attributes but only one of those two have more "pogi points" over the other. Mr. A probably have a nice car, and Mr. B don't. He can also have his own pad, club membership, and many other financial measuring up's than the other. And we just have to admit that, Mr. A definitely will have a greater chance if compared to another with the same attributes but none of those "pogi points".

Then, MALE ALERT: try having those!!!

One great way is the option trading strategies that most professionals try to get their hands at. Don't just be content with your monthly income when you can have more. Though as in anything else in this world, there are up's and down's in it...but isn't it worth a try to be the man you can be for the eyes of your beloved?

RAPTURE OF LOVE by Anita Baker

When we met, I always knew
I would feed the magic for you
On my mind constantly
In my arms is where you should be

I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time

CHORUS:
Caught up in the repture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you

We stand side by side
Till the storms of life pass us by
Light my life, warm my heart
Say tonight will be just the start

I love you here by me, baby
you let my love fly free
I want you im my life for all time

CHORUS
Caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you
The feeling's always new
Caught up in the rapture of you

I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time

REPEAT SECOND CHORUS

Caught up in the rapture of love
Caught up in the rapture of love

CUDDLY DAY

As most couples would agree, it is a cuddly day today because of the nice drizzles that makes it more easy to be next to each other than the previous humid days.

Can't blame them for wanting to be close to each other as often as possible...it is after all human nature to want to tickle the senses to increase flow of endorphines making us feel more in the mood for loving.

So, don't hate the rain especially if it's as harmless as constant drizzles. Because somewhere somehow love is blossoming, if not within your circle it is within your world.

BE INSURED ONLINE

Caring is instantaneous with loving. One cannot stop oneself from worrying over big and small things that concerns his/her love one. We just have to be definite that we do everything we can to preserve their lives, to give them whatever possible we can offer to make living easy for them...even if we are no longer there to provide that to them. Thus arose Life Insurances.

But then, we usually get caught up with our daily routines, that more often than not we almost have no time left to go to the establishment and fill-up bundles of papers and stay a few more hours to have a complete medical check-up just so we get to be approved...until we really had no time left and the chance to have one passed us by. In the end, our love one suffers the burden, therefore our goal of making it easy for them was not fulfilled.

Good news though...now there is this Life Insurance No Medical Exam. Yes, you can do it all online, and be insured in no time. Why wait when you can do it today, and move on with life with no worries.

DEEPER ROOT NEEDED

In a relationship it is vital that there is a deeper root that joins a couple. It's not just the idea of having someone to make the half of your heart be filled in. There has to be friendship. There has to be common ground connecting them for them to have innumerable topics to talk about...because in the latter years, that's almost all that's left for you to keep the love flowing - talking and sharing.

TO PLEASE THE ONE YOU LOVE

I believe it to be human nature for us to try our very best to go on pleasing our love ones. May it be for providing emotional needs, physical needs...and even when it pertains to the material needs. We give our all when it comes to pleasing the one we love.

And it's not easy doing so in the world we live in where there are the common obstacles like pride, envy, anger, jealousy and all those other negative walls that surrounds a relationship. But still, we try to fight it off by putting them before ourselves; when we try to stretch out our patience and understanding; when we selflessly love them and shower them with every little thing we think that can please them.

Within this concept is the gifts and surprises that we grab for them to have physical proof of that love. I admit that I myself tend to do just that whenever I can. And thanks to those heavenly sent vouchers that makes it a little more worthwhile knowing you have been offered the best deal for something you really like. One concrete example is this 75% OFF for shoes for him/her. One does not need an occasion to have such big discount. What of Dell vouchers that can be awfully handy when you think to give him/her the most wanted gift, laptop or notebook with the Dell netbook review. Pleasing someone does not have to be expensive, and taking up on offers such as these are just something each and everyone of us can benefit from. Start looking at all of the available deals... you never know, you might have been buying things somewhere and not know you could have gotten them at a much much lower cost.

AFTERMATH...

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." by Marilyn Monroe

Dare I say anything more when Marilyn Monroe says it all in just a few words. She I believe each and everyone of them...HOW ABOUT YOU?

STAY by Lisa Loeb

This is what we need most in a relationship...THE WORDS! Not too much or too little..but enough to tell what needs to be told at the right time. Not before nor after the time of your being together but DURING. When you are not regretting that you have done so or have let it pass you by.

...and hear not just the words uttered BUT what the actions imply for more often than not ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN VOICE.

you say I only hear what I want to.
you say I talk so all the time so.

and I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don't belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
yeah, I missed you.

and you say I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
or to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.

so I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
the lover's in love, and the other's run away,
the lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.

some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born.
well, this is not that:
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.

and I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.

you try to tell me that I'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.

you said that I was naive,
and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.

you said, "You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go."
"you try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just so scared to lose.
and you say, "stay."

you say I only hear what I want to.

WEDDING RING

Very first thing that comes to mind when asked of my dream wedding is "THE ring!!! In my mind I see it in the glass showcase, my heart pounding, and my insides screaming "This is it! This is how I can shout to the world that someone love me way too much to make me his...forever!"

Every woman deserves a little more than the words i love you, and a little more than saying I do. A great deal more than just a tumble in the hay and much much more than the promises from the lips. The proof of being loved more than any other and being valued to be given something you cannot just get any other day. The wedding ring (and even engagement ring for some) signifies not the financial status of the beloved man, but the pride of that same man of his woman. That with that ring, he shouts to the world that he belong to no other but her, and that she to him as well.

WHAT MEETS THE EYE

People are naturally affected by visual perceptions. We either give a positive response to what is presented before us or on another end, a negative response. Obviously, if it is pleasing to us in effect will be a good feedback. More often than not, the measure goes the same for most. Like when one is presented with a neat individual, that person gets a higher rating over someone lousy or unkept. When you get to choose before an untidy place over a well-kept place, nobody chooses the nose-wrinkling place.

This definitely goes with offices. Who would entertain clients or customers in a place not worthy of staying at? Every company, institution or establishment craves to set up a mighty inviting place not just for the expected visitors but also for the employees that will be staying there most of their days. Optometry Office Design, I believe have the same desire...to ensure that those that will be having their visions be set to perfection will as well see only perfection!

IT MIGHT BE YOU Patti Austin version

IT MIGHT BE YOU are words that are mostly in the minds of people with love in their hearts, wanting to believe that finally they found the better half they were hoping to find...but somehow holding back a little for fear that it's not what it seems.

Time, I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly
Wishing there could be someone
Waiting home for me

Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life

Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place would I recognize the face

Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake and there's so much love to make

I think we’re gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life

I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you and
I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
It's you, it's you I've been waiting for all of my life
Maybe it's you Maybe it's you I've been waiting for all of my life.

LOVE DOCTOR

I have just seen the movie Hitch yet again, and as before, I ended up wondering if there really is a Love Doctor like Will Smith there in that movie. How nice it would be for those seeking help in successfully having that person they truly wanted be theirs have someone help them do just that.

Imagine being in a hopeless case with the love of your life and be handed over with a business card to solve your misery! Magic!

Business cards really works. Sometimes we take it fore granted using its back as gift cards when it can be the way to increase your chances of being known far and wide other than your direct connections. Give it away and it get to be passed around. One just have to know how to get someones attention to have it read. Make sure it is worthy of a glance.

I'm sure you'll agree that reading the words "Love Doctor" definitely warrants attention to most than as simple though as needed by everyone as "Doctor". I therefore conclude that you also have to know who makes the best business cards and not settle for less, because they surely know better than what you know.

SEIZE THE DAY YOU FOUND LOVE

It's not everyday that you find love, and it's not for everyone to find it as well...and so seize the day you found it. Work on it and live by it. Don't take it for granted, because you never know if it will be as it is tomorrow.

TOUGHER SEX

It is all but natural to see girls shed a tear or even to the point of wailing and howling BUT NOT BOYS?

If you ask me, I don't see anything wrong when they do. Maybe it's the way they do it and the reason for it. Naturally, we are more sensitive and emotional to really revert to tears but MEN are also human. Only, we see them to be tougher and tears just don't fit for simple TV scenes, a little misunderstanding or a front an out burst. Culture had them checking out their reactions and on handling their emotions.

Thus the very seldom occurrence of seeing them cry is overwhelming and touching. Or you don't agree that MEN ARE ALLOWED TO CRY?

As a man, what can be your contribution for us to understand you more?

...NOT YOUR WORLD

Don't let someone become your everything,
because when they're gone you have nothing!
by Kenya Mitchell

I agree! Speaking from experience, my world became empty when we had to part ways. Letting him revolve around your world will be so much better than the other way around. Or better yet, live it with him not for him...

It is often in a relationship that we love our better half so much that we tend to change for them, be where he wants us to be, do what he wants to do, even eat what he wants to eat sometimes. Remember that we are TWO different individuals. We may grow together, we may live together...but we need to have a line in between when it comes to the person that we are.

You can make it happen if you both love each other the same way. If you want a relationship to last, there should be no controlling...instead continue on with the freedom of enjoying life TOGETHER and INDIVIDUALLY also.

WOULD YOU GO BEGGING FOR LOVE?

Do you really have to beg for love? Is it really worth a try and your pride to ask someone to love you? For me…yes and no.

Yes, I can ask God to give me the right man to love me and for me to love in return. After all, it is God who knows best. He alone can foretell the future, therefore knows what will come of a relationship before it happens; and He alone knows each and everyone of us to know who is true, who have the best intention and who matches us the most. So, only to him I can beg for the real love.

No, I do not believe it a good idea to beg someone to love me. If that person do not see how great a person you are and how lucky he will be to have you then he is not worthy of you. It will do you no good to force yourself on someone because the foundation of a relationship is friendship and free exchange of love. Without these two, the relationship will not last. And you’ll end up hurting even more than the hurt you bear knowing he loves you less or even probably not at all since you just begged for it.

How about you? Can you risk begging and hope that it will in the end build to a true and lasting love?

GETTING SO HOTTT

Almost fever high temperature…I’m burning hot! Imagine a sizzling hot thirty six degrees inside the homes of Filipino’s and probably higher outside. It’s not even beach-friendly with that. And what is the instant solution to ease off the heat? Run for cover in an air conditioned room, or turn on to high your electric fans, a dip in the pool (covered, definitely!) and partaking of ice cold beverages.

At this time of the year, summer, it is but natural to increase energy consumption here in the tropics, as it is during winter in other places. The use of heaters and air conditioning is the primary reason for the increasing electric consumption. But we have to also know of ways to Energy saving. This is a constant reminder provided to us along with our electric bills. It is not just for personal benefit, but for everyone. We have to conserve energy, else we will all suffer in the end as we all do now with what was done to Mother Nature. Climate change can be felt in all corners of the world because of her wrath. Severe heat or severe cold...both an after effect to Global Warming. We must all join hands in avoiding further damage. And we also can do so by energy conservation…starting with home energy.

Is it so cold in your end? Share BODY HEAT. Probably the best and most natural means next to installing a fire place. How romantic it can be to sit together in front of the fire as you share a steaming mug of hot chocolate. Cozy, don’t you think? And it doesn’t have to ruin your modern living. I love modern living as well. And fire places go with it already these days. Those witty designers found ways that will surprise you. We must understand that home appliances are the major contributor to high energy cost, and so we must be aware of how to lower it through those appliances you have at home. Be glad as I am of this www.microsoft-hohm.com that I have come across which provides advices and tips PLUS a free “personalized energy report” upon sign up.

Would You Have Been a Good Wife in the 1930s?

Just for the fun of it, I tried if I can fit in the 1930's and:

You Would Make a Great 1930's Wife

You've got a few retro ways, and you would make the ideal 1930's wife. At least, that's how it looks on paper. You may just be an easygoing, pleasant person. With a personality like yours, you'd be a great wife in any era! HAHAHA! I'M STILL GLAD I'M IN THIS CENTURY!

WHAT ABOUT YOU? Would You Have Been a Good Wife in the 1930s?

WHERE DO BROKEN HEARTS GO?

At times that we are breaking...we can't help being gloomy. and songs of the heart such as this is what some craves to hear, believing that being reminded that they are not alone in this world breaking will give them the strength they need.

BROKEN HEART or BROKEN SPIRIT?

Varying kinds and forms of emotions runs out of you. From tear strained face you feel crushed and you feel vulnerable; pale and drained you want out; reality sinks in and you are mad; sad and lonely being alone again but you protect yourself inside a shell; you’re back on your feet, strong and hard….

Tears are long gone, but where are you now?

Life gives you a choice of making your world revolve around the one you love or your love one to revolve around it. Your choice dictates how altered your life will be the moment that love pulls out. Either you end up with a broken spirit as your world stops because the one to circle around is lost, or you just break your heart, lose balance as it pulls out then mend and gain balance back in no time.

LET NO ONE BREAK THAT SPIRIT! Be who you are and what you are. And if you have been there and at the moment lost and uncertain, move on but learn from the past. A BROKEN HEART CAN BE MENDED IN TIME. And keep hoping that there in that bleak future is what is meant for you. Let it not pass you by just because of your fears. Experience makes us the wiser if you only bear those lessons in mind.
