LIFE begins with a step of LOVE

How to lose a stone by Valentine's Day

2012-02-12T13:12:00.002+08:00

Champagne, chocolates, flowers and fancy restaurants - these are the things we want on Valentine's Day, aren't they? This year, how about something longer-lasting and more worthwhile. Losing weight (if you need to) will improve your health, give your confidence a boost and - in the spirit of Valentine's Day - give your sex life a jolt too.

Most health experts say you need about four to six weeks to lose a stone; weight loss shouldn't be any more drastic than this, and the focus is going to be on healthy eating and taking regular exercise. So banish any thoughts of skipping meals or starving yourself.

Ready to get in shape for your Valentine? Here's how to do it.

Getting started
"Sixty to seventy percent of your results will come from improving your diet," says personal trainer Gavin Walsh (bootcampathome.com). For some of us, this means taking a close look at what, how and when we eat. Dietitian Katie Peck (pecknutrition.com) says: "Your first step is to assess your usual daily calorie intake over a period of seven days. Then you can take steps to adjust your calorie consumption and improve nutritional balance.

"When combined with exercise, your body will start to break down fat stores for energy. So, my top tip is to track your food and drink intake over seven days and then make food swaps, taking out unnecessary foods and replacing them with nutritious alternatives, such as skimmed milk for full fat, sweet fruit for sweets, dark chocolate for milk and whole grain for white bread. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, but you should aim to reduce your intake by 200-500 calories per day (assuming you normally eat the recommended 2,000 calories a day)."

What to eat, what not to eat
Reaching your weight-loss goal isn't just about the number of calories you consume every day. More important is the type of food you are eating. As Walsh says: "Don't worry too much about counting calories. When you eat clean it's difficult to overeat!"

You do, however, need to be strict with your food choices. Walsh says: "Cut out processed foods, sugar, caffeine, dairy, wheat and starchy carbohydrates like pasta, rice and bread. Make sure you drink plenty of water too, around 1.5-3 litres a day to flush out toxins and prevent your body from storing water."

Sticking to natural foods is key, says Peck. "Stay away from anything high in salt, sugar or fat. And cook at home rather than eat ready meals or take-outs, unless it's a healthy option. Aim for 50% carbs, 20% protein and 30% fats. You can still drink alcohol, but only in sensible amounts, aiming for 2-3 alcohol free days a week.

"Foods to go for include unrefined whole grain carbohydrates, high-fibre breakfast cereals, whole-grain crackers, wraps, fresh fruit, sweet potatoes, seafood, lean red meat, chicken, turkey, game, eggs, nuts, nut butters, seeds, beans, tofu, yoghurt and olive oil.

"Finally - eat, then exercise, as this is the time when your body will need the energy most. The following menu is my ideal nutritional day."

* Breakfast: porridge made with skimmed milk, topped with flaked almonds, cinnamon and a drizzle of runny honey
* Morning snack: Four Brazil nuts, one small banana
* Lunch: 60g smoked salmon, extra-low-fat cream cheese, sliced cucumber in a wholemeal wrap, handful of cherry tomatoes
* Afternoon snack: 30g toasted sunflower seeds mixed with soy sauce
* Dinner: Three-ounce fillet steak, sweet potato spicy wedges, purple sprouting broccoli
* Dessert: 100g natural yoghurt, 100g fresh pineapple

How to work out
There's no way around it - if you're going to unleash a new physique on Valentine's Day, then the next month is going to involve a ramped up exercise regime. But don't be scared, says Walsh: "Now that the diet is sorted, it's time to look at your fitness programme. Thankfully, there is no need for marathon sessions in the gym. Keep it short and sweet. The catch, however, is that you're going to be exercising more regularly, which means your home will also be your gym for the next few weeks.

"Use a mixture of cardio and resistance exercises for the best results. Imagining a scale of 1-10, aim to keep an intensity level of at least seven. Be honest with yourself; if you want quick results then you're going to have to up your game.

Try this weekly programme which, alongside your improved diet, will make sure you arrive at Valentine's Day in the fittest, healthiest, sexiest shape of your life."

* Monday: Three x four minutes of 30 seconds exercise and 30 seconds of rest. Akternate between jumping jacks, squats and press-ups.
* Tuesday: One minute on, one minute off mountain climbers (from the press-up position, raise one knee up towards your chest, lower, then repeat on other side) for 10 minutes, twice a day (morning and night).
* Wednesday: 100 burpees
* Thursday: Five minutes in the plank position, broken up with short breaks in between
* Friday: 200 lunges throughout the day
* Saturday: 30 second sprints, with one minute rest in between, for a total of 20 minutes. You can also do rowing, spinning, burpees or mountain climbers.
* Sunday: Long walk (this is your active rest)

What his Valentine's Day gift really means

2012-02-09T20:41:00.002+08:00

What is the love of your life trying to tell you when he buys you chocolates, flowers, jewellery or clothes?

1: Jewellery - expensive:
Okay, there are two types of jewellery - serious jewellery you can't wait to flaunt in front of your friends - and the fun stuff (coming up).
If he's given you a nice piece of jewellery then he's seriously committed to your relationship. Men just don't give the good stuff unless you mean something special.
Yes, sometimes if he's loaded he might be happy to show off his cash this way - but often the loaded guys are the cheapest (at least until you really mean something to him).
Romantic commitment rating: 10/10

2: Jewellery - fun
Fun jewellery that reflects your personality can be extremely meaningful. So this guy might really have you worked out.
Fun jewellery may be inexpensive, but if he gives it on Valentine's Day, it's a very good sign that he 'gets' you.
However, if it's just cheap - and not symbolic in any way - then his heart's not in it.
Romantic commitment rating: 8/10 if it's good - 3/10 if his heart's not in it

3: Chocolates
With chocolates you've got a good traditional man. And a man with traditional values probably enjoys a quite traditional relationship.
He may not be the most imaginative guy but he'll probably be a good one. And he likes to treat his woman to something he knows she'll enjoy.
Romantic commitment rating: 7/10

4: Flowers
Flowers point to a real romantic at heart. And different flowers can indicate different signals about his feelings.
Beautiful red roses will reveal his passion for you. Pale pink or white blooms can indicate that he puts you on a pedestal (and be wary of this one!), while exotic birds of paradise suggest he wants to enjoy some fun and adventure with you!
Romantic commitment rating: 8/10

5: Cuddly toys:
Oh dear, this may not be a good sign! Either he sees you as a bit 'little girlish' and may not treat you as the assertive, successful woman you are, or he's on the immature side and sees this as a loving gift.
The only way this can be salvaged is if you two have some sort of joke about cuddly toys and he's using this gift symbolically.
Romantic commitment rating: a fairly low 4/10

6: Clothing
Has he surprised you with a cuddly sweater or maybe some classic cashmere?
Many men use Valentine's Day to show deep affection by choosing this sort of gift. He may not be the most imaginative boyfriend or partner but he's definitely caring, as signalled by this choice.
Romantic commitment rating: 8/10

7: Photo of him
Er... a framed photo of him can go either way. Either his ego knows no boundaries and he thinks he looks beautiful (and you whole heartedly agree). Or it signals increasing commitment to your relationship because he wants you to be reminded of him every day.
You can judge this by what your intuition tells you - but if he takes longer in front of the mirror then you do in the morning, it's not a good sign.
If, however, he's gone to great lengths to get a picture of both of you then it's a clear signal he's in lurve.
Romantic commitment rating: picture of him - 2/10, picture of you both - 10/10

8: Scented candles and bath oils:
With scented candles and bath oils, you've got a metrosexual male on your hands! He's in touch with how much we women like to luxuriate in a warm sensual bath. And he's also suggesting he wants to spoil you and sees you as someone who appreciates the good things.
He may also just be hinting that he'd like to get in the bath with you, if you haven't already had some sexplay in a 'water' scenario.
Romantic commitment rating: 8/10

The girls' guide to unusual dating ideas

2012-02-09T20:34:00.001+08:00

We always expect the unusual from Lady Gaga and she didn't fail us when recently it was reported she went on dates at a shooting range.

You might not want to do target practice with your new man but there are plenty of things to try that are different. Why stick to what everyone does on a date like dinner or a film? Some of these ideas might bring out the best in you two - or at least show you the stuff he's made of.

So when he asks what you'd like to do, surprise him and suggest a couple of these quirky dating ideas:

Creative date idea no 1: Turn up the heat
There are fantastic cookery classes available from chocolate making to bread baking. So you can enjoy a laugh while creating something culinary together. These can be perfect for a fun date because they're offered in the evenings and weekends. Take your freshly made delights back to yours to share by candlelight. Hand feed each other to turn up the heat for a sexy vibe.

Creative date idea no 2: Get physical
One brilliant way to get to know each other is to try something physically challenging like abseiling or doing a climbing wall. Many sports centres have these facilities as well as plenty of locations around the countryside offering 'guided' abseiling, etc. Not only is it good for you to get your blood pumping but if you fancy him definitely ask him for a little assistance here and there to get a bit physical with each other.

Creative date idea no 3: Go Latin
There's nothing quite like a hot pulsating rhythm to get you going - and I'm not talking about bedroom antics - I'm talking about taking a Latin dance class together! There are so many salsa and Latin American dance classes around and neither of you have to be any good. The fun is in learning together and it can be very sensual mastering the different moves.

Creative date idea no 4: A tipsy tasting
There are many speciality wine tasting evenings available in most reasonable-sized towns and cities. These aren't full-on courses but specialised evenings covering one topic like French wines, 'new world' wines, or champagne, etc. Enjoy savouring the tastes together and it might put you in the mood for some full-on flirting when the evening is finished. The benefit is learning something about wines at the same time.

Creative date idea no 5: Winter sports
This is the perfect time of year to suggest going dry skiing or snowboarding. After your adventure on the slopes it's the perfect time to cuddle up over some hot chocolate or mulled wine for a cosy evening of romance.

Creative date idea no 6: Get the romance of Ghost
Who could forget the pottery scene between Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in the romantic classic Ghost? It was touching and definitely tear-making stuff. There are pottery and other art classes available at practically any adult education centre. Again these are offered in the evening and weekends so they make date-friendly events. Have fun getting your hands messy together in that wet clay. If you really like him - and are hoping things happen between you - it's worth remembering most men love it when a woman's prepared to get her hands dirty.

How to be great on a date

2012-02-08T16:50:00.002+08:00

Let's face it, going on a date can be a nerve-wracking experience, but it doesn't have to be that way. With a bit of mental preparation, the right outfit and some good old-fashioned skin and hair pampering, you will be well on your way to impressing your date. But for that extra bit of magic, you'll need a generous helping of confidence to let you radiate your inner beauty. So how do you get it?

Self talk
Make a list of all the negative beliefs you have about yourself and make them positive. For example, if you've said, 'I don't think I'm very attractive' change this to 'I AM very attractive!'. This turns a negative thought into a positive affirmation and you should aim to say these statements aloud every day until you start actually believing them. This is a powerful technique as you are literally talking to your subconscious where all your negative beliefs about yourself are stored.

What's your agenda?
Before going on your date you should decide what you want out of the experience - is it just a bit of fun youâ're after or a long-term partner? Decide what perception you want the other person to have of you and decide in advance the one thing you want them to remember about you.

Work on your inner beauty
It may be a cliche but beauty really does come from the inside. It is not just about aesthetics. If you think someone is too good looking for you, think again. It's very possible they may not be very nice on the inside! Before you start dating, make sure you have inner strength and are backing yourself 100%. This inner confidence will then shine through and make you glow from the inside out.

Make yourself feel good
Once youâ've worked on your inner confidence, don't undermine this by not dressing for success. Wear things that make you feel confident and sexy. Also, spend time on yourself. Go to the hairdressers and the gym. Go for a massage and eat the right food. It sounds simple, but most of us just don't do it. Looking after yourself tells you - and everybody else - that you have respect for yourself.

Don't put yourself down
Observe how you talk about yourself. Don't use sentences like 'I've never been any good at...' 'I've always been so clumsy at...' 'I always look a mess'. You can say these phrases without thinking, but they're the worse kind as within a second of saying them you have undone all your good work by telling yourself and others that you donât really rate yourself. The biggest turn-off on a date is when someone talks about their imperfections. It's not interesting or cute - it's just boring and makes the other person feel awkward.

Boost your confidence
Confidence is perceived as being one of the most attractive traits in an individual. Give yourself a confidence booster by flirting with someone in a bar or go out for dinner on your own and make eye contact with people. Do something that you would never normally dream of doing.

Don't give the game away
People who tell their whole life story in one go quickly lose all their mystery and interest. So don't give the whole game away, as it makes you less attractive. This includes the obvious: not talking about past relationships. Also, don't feel as if you need to be doing all the talking. You are more powerful as a listener rather than babbling on to fill space.

Feng shui tips to follow

2012-02-06T13:17:00.002+08:00

Feng shui is based on Chinese metaphysics, a discipline used by its proponents to channel good qi (pronounced "chi" and meaning energy) and block bad qi. Sometimes these rules aren't so straight forward. If you're a believer in feng shui, then doing up your home according to your personal feng shui is ideal before you move into your home or office. Alternatively, you could consider a redesign of your space. Here are some feng shui fundamentals to ponder if you want to up the mojo in your dojo this Dragon year.

Colours
In the practise of feng shui, colours can be divided according to the five elements of fire, water, metal, earth and wood. Some colours stir up emotions, while some have a calming effect.

Fire element colours
Fire helps you claim fame and channels creativity and energy to your career. It's also a colour of passion and arousal.
The colour red and other similarly warm colours like purple, pink and marigold yellow, are best used in the South, Southwest, Centre and Northeast of your home, and best avoided in the East, South, West, Northwest and North sectors of your home.
The best rooms to use fire colours are in the bedroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. But make sure it is in moderation, as too strong a presence may cause overstimulation, resulting in short tempers.

Earth element colours
Earth provides nourishment, protection and stability to your family and your relationships. Earth element colours are light yellow, beige or other earth or sand hues.

The Northeast, Southwest and Centre sectors are home to the Earth element, and are good sectors to colour with Earth hues. Try to avoid colouring Earth colours in the North and South sectors of your home.
In general, Earth colours are best used at the main entrance to your home, your living room, kitchen, or bedroom.

Metal element colours
Colours that channel the Metal element are grey and white.

Metal element colours are used to provide clarity and sharpness of mind, precision and efficiency.

Good to have in the North, West and Northwest sectors of your home, and best used in the office, at the entrance of your home, or living room. Avoid using a strong grey in the East and Southeast sectors of your home.

Water element colours
The Water element and its colours emit freshness, abundance, calm, and purity with its blue and black hues.

As a general rule it's best to use Water colours in the North, East and Southeast sectors of your home and avoid their use in the West, Southwest, Northwest and Northeast sectors.

Water colours are best used on the ceiling in your home study, bedroom or in a child's bedroom. Due to the calming and serene energy of dark blue hues, you may want to introduce this colour to your bedroom to promote good quality sleep.

Wood element colours
Wood provides good health and vitality, also wealth and abundance. Its colours are what you find in nature - brown and green.

Use Wood colours in the East and Southeast sectors of your home to activate growth and abundance. It's also good for your home's South sector.

Use rich browns and greens at the main entry of your home, kitchen, bedroom or as a feature wall in your living room. Avoid the use of too much brown, as its colours can lull the inhabitants of a home into complacency, resulting in a lack of ambition and drive.

Red cloth above the front door

Get a 3 metre long red cloth and hang it above your front door. Red is an auspicious colour and invites luck into the home. During the auspicious first few days of Chinese New Year, this is especially a good feng shui practice. This is also done to homes whose new inhabitants are moving in. After selecting a good, auspicious date, of course!

Plants

Chinese New Year plants are the best seasonal feng shui items to adorn your home with. Get the money plant, golden money plant or fortune bamboo plant. They are all great for increasing your home's feng shui and bringing in luck and prosperity. Best of all, plants are pretty and soften the interior of any home. For a more complete list of what plants are beneficial to your home and office environment

Water features
Mirrors and water features are 'feng shui cures' that purport to activate the wealth sector of your home and should be placed according to the layout of your home or office as well as the location and direction of your home or office's main door.

Water placed in the right sector of a home or office exudes calm over the entire space, proffering peace to its inhabitants, and providing them clarity of thought to make the right decisions.

It's best used in the East and South East sector as those are natural wealth sectors, and avoided in Fire sectors like the South sector, which is the sector of Fame and Reputation. You should also avoid having water features in your bedroom.

Mirrors
Mirrors bear the same energy as water and thus make a good substitute for a water feature, particularly if you find the latter too cumbersome. However the placement of a mirror is especially important. Correct placement has the potential to correct the flow of qi throughout your home, bringing all things good to you and your family. Conversely incorrect placement can send qi straight out the door as soon as it enters.

The best way to find out whether you've arranged your ornamentation correctly is to consult a feng shui master as the cure is customised according to environment. In general it is a good rule to avoid having a mirror facing your front door, facing your bed or in the South sector of your home. It's usually good practice to place a mirror in the East sector of your home, which represents your health and family life, the Southeast, which represents your wealth and abundance, and in the North sector, which represents your career and life path. However in this year of the Dragon, feng shui master Joey Yap has advised against placing a water feature in the Southeast sector of the home.

Amulets
Amulets or statues can be used to balance out personality weaknesses or fix areas of your life that you may feel you need help on. Amulets can come in the form of crystals, gemstones or animal shapes. Often these items are paired with the mystic knot to add potency.

Similar to the Celtic infinity knot, the mystic knot is also known as the 'never-ending knot'. It symbolises an uninterrupted, harmonious, and never ending flow of life, with no bumps in the road, no setbacks, and no problems. It's often used on its own, or as an accompaniment to other crystals to fix a certain sector of your life.

Here are some examples of amulets: a tree made out of jade is said to channel likeability and help you build friendships; a set of ancient coins is said to attract wealth and abundance; and a dragon amulets channel personal power and success. However most, if not all, BaZi consultants do not believe in the power of amulets.

Your Chinese Horoscope

2012-02-04T13:36:00.002+08:00

It's time to bid adieu to the sleepy but safe year of the Rabbit and welcome the magical year of the Dragon! Under the Chinese zodiac, Dragons are all powerful, mystical and enchanting, but they demand attention and respect. This is a year of luck, extravagance and glamour. It will be a year of celebrations and enjoying the ﬁner things in life. In general it's a good year to start new ventures, relationships and pursue new interests. Some conﬂicts will arise and tempers will ﬂare, but this will only add ﬁre to the ﬂame. Cooler heads will prevail in the year of the Dragon.

The Dragon (1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000)
Dragons are generally charming and charismatic but have a hot headed, ﬁery side when provoked. As a Dragon, you can expect a very prosperous year at work only if you do not pounce when conﬂict arises. You will make much more money this year, but may not notice since you will be spending more. It is a great time to celebrate and enjoy the ﬁner things in life! Romance heats up this year and Dragons may meet that special someone early in the year

The Snake (1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001)
Expect a lucky and exciting year if you were born in the Year of the Snake. Since a characteristic of the Snake is being a great mediator, you will be able to handle friction at work and social situations like no other. This heralds a fun and exciting social life and career advancement opportunities. It will be go-go-go as there will be many parties to attend and work to do, but be sure to stop and take stock. It's important to watch over your health, as it will be easier to lose steam with so much on the go. You also have a bit of luck on your side this year, so take the road less travelled and live it on the edge.

The Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002)
The extroverted Horse will be the life of the party in 2012, which is great as there will be many celebrations to attend! The year of the Dragon will present opportunities for career advancement that you should take. The Horse has luck on its side with money and wealth this year, but will ﬁnd that as fast as the money comes, it goes, since the you will increase your spending this year. Just when you start to feel lonely, things begin to heat up romantically. Don't commit to anything too soon though, instead enjoy the ride.

The Goat (1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003)
If you were born in the year of the Goat, you will have to leave behind your peaceful and quiet ways to keep up with the year's pace. When you do, you will ﬁnd opportunities to make money outside of work. The year of the Dragon will present difﬁculties but your calm demeanour will allow you to navigate these troubled waters with relative ease. Single Goats get ready to mingle as it's one hot year for romance. If you're attached, you can expect an exciting year ahead for you and your partner. It's a great time to pursue new hobbies and creative endeavors.

The Monkey (1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004)
Expect things to sail smoothly for the Monkey this year. As a highly energetic being, you will have no problem keeping up the all the festivities and opportunities. It's a good time for you to explore new interests and hobbies because it will lead to advancement in your career. While you tend to be very socially active, turn your focus on developing new romantic affairs, but don't be so quick to tie yourself down. Already committed? It's a good time to consider taking your relationship to the next level.

The Rooster (1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005)
The ﬂamboyant Rooster is a perfect match to the extravagance heralded by the entry of the Dragon. A very prosperous year for you as new business opportunities will present themselves. If you've been considering further education or training for purposes of career advancement, this is the year to do it. While you may be the life of the party, you most likely will ﬁnd yourself going home alone this year. You need to watch your tell-it-like-it-is attitude or you could rufﬂe the wrong feathers.

The Dog (1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006)
They say to let sleeping dogs lie and indeed this will prove a stable year for those born in the year of the Dog. You may face a few challenges but with your gentle and compassionate personality and some extra luck, you will overcome. You may encounter some friction with money but it will sort itself out by the end of the year. Since people born in the year of the Dog tend worry, watch your health and stress levels. Romantic opportunities will be around every corner but you may ﬁnd yourself a bit more ﬁckle than usual.

The Pig (1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007)
Those born under the sign of the Pig will prosper in the year of the Dragon. It's important to be prudent with money in the beginning of the year since most of the opportunities will be presented in late 2012. As a fun and easy-going person, you will be inundated with social engagement invitations. Romance will arise in the spring but you should keep your emotions under tighter wrap or you will ﬁnd yourself saddled with unnecessary relationship problems.

The Rat (1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008)
It's a good year for work for the hard working Rat. All your efforts will pay off for you with praise and promotions at work. Don't forget to ask for help when you need it since teamwork can only help you succeed this year. Expect a thriving social life but not much in the way of unexpected windfalls of cash. Even with all the parties and social engagements, Rats still need to be patient for love.

The Ox (1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009)
The year of the Dragon will be subdued for the Ox since your down to earth disposition tends to clash with the ﬂamboyant Dragon. Some conﬂicts may arise at work and in social relationships for you which may push away your social networks, so it's important to invest in your relationships and keep tempers in check. It is not a good year for risky ﬁnancial investments or love but health is expected to be stable.

The Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010)
If you were born in the year of the Tiger, now is the time to take charge! Jump on every opportunity that the bountiful Dragon offers you - this includes offers of travel, new work and social outings. You should avoid big loans and investments in order to have a good ﬁnancial year ahead. Since the ﬁery personality of the Tiger clashes with the Dragon, Tiger's will have to remain patient as tantrums at work and in relationships could cause damage beyond repair.

The Rabbit (1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011)
Cooler heads will prevail this year, which sets up the congenial Rabbit for success. As a Rabbit, you are generally very trusting of other people but be very careful! Watch out for those who may try to sabotage you, particularly at work. You should also take new romantic relationships slowly and cautiously for the same reason. 2012 will be a ﬁnancially stable one for you but you should not gamble or take out risky loans.

Chinese New Year traditions

2012-02-04T10:41:00.002+08:00

Chinese culture is rich in tradition. With the many superstitions and practises that need to be respected this Chinese New Year season to ensure your enter the Year of the Dragon with blessings of good fortune.

Spring cleaning
Spring cleaning is a must before Chinese New Year as the Chinese are huge proponents of starting the year right in every single way - including a freshly cleaned home. Skipping the spring cleaning ritual or not doing it thoroughly means that the dust, dirt and grime from the previous year lingers around. This denotes harbouring negative elements from the previous year and bringing them with you into this year, thus not making way for good fortune to come in.

New clothes, shoes and haircut
Donning new clothes and shoes and a sporting a new haircut reflects a new beginning to the New Year. In this age of plenty, being able to afford new clothes and shoes isn't the uphill struggle it may have once been, when families would save up all year round for the anticipated, nevertheless, being able to afford these new purchases still symbolises abundance and the capacity to afford whatever you need in the new year.

No cleaning
We're not contradicting ourselves. Clean before Chinese New Year, but as soon as that dragon rolls around, cleaning is a big no-no. Traditionally that would mean not lifting a finger for 15 days, but these days it's more common for Chinese households to refrain from picking up their dustpans, brooms and mops up until the third day of the new year.

No cussing
The Chinese believe that how you start the year is how you intend to go on. So if you're angry on Chinese New Year, then bad fortune will befall you such that you to be angry for the rest of the year. And we don't want that, do we?

The different days of Chinese New Year
The most important day of Chinese New Year is the eve of Chinese New Year! That's the official day for the family reunion dinner, which is great because the ban on cleaning only comes into effect on the stroke of midnight. So get your dishes done before then.
The ninth day of Chinese New Year (or rather at midnight on the eighth day of Chinese New Year) is when Hokkien Chinese celebrate the birthday of the Jade Emperor. For the Hokkien, the eighth night is just as important as the eve of Chinese New Year.
The New Year season comes to an end on the 15th night of Chinese New Year, also known as Chap Goh Meh. Referred to sometimes as Chinese Valentine's Day, single ladies will write their names and phone numbers on mandarin oranges and throw them into the river or lake. Single men go to the waterways to retrieve oranges and find their match. Today these matchmaking methods have been updated to reflect the times, with phone numbers replaced with e-mail addresses and girls taking extra safety precautions when it comes to giving out personal information.

Lighting up firecrackers
Firecrackers are traditionally lit on the eve of Chinese New Year, and for the Hokkien additionally on the eighth night at midnight. The noise that these fearsome firecrackers make is believed to scare away the monster named 'Nian' that flies around at night, eating up small animals and children. Food is also left outside homes to 'satiate Nian's appetite'.

Good and bad colours
For the Chinese, colours, numbers or foods are known to represent luck, prosperity, longevity or conversely negativity, depending on how similar its name sounds to other items of good or bad association. Red, yellow and gold are known to be auspicious colours, and can be seen everywhere during Chinese New Year, from household decorations, to the food served, and the new clothes donned to usher in the New Year. Sombre colours, on the other hand, are discouraged, especially black as it symbolises the colour of mourning and sadness.

Gift bags
It is customary to bring a gift bag for the host and hostess when visiting during Chinese New Year. Traditional items in the gift bag will consist of mandarin oranges to symbolise gold and prosperity, peanuts to symbolise longevity, pineapples to symbolise luck, and anything sweet to symbolise a sweet year ahead.

Numerology
Numbers are auspicious for the Chinese, and it's good to pay attention to this detail especially during Chinese New Year. Always give out ang pow or red packets filled with money in even denominations, such as RM2, RM8, RM10 or RM50. An exception to this rule is RM5 due to the convenience and availability of this denomination - the Chinese are a practical bunch, and RM4 as the Chinese word for four sounds very similar to the word for death. The number of mandarin oranges in a gift bag should also be given out in even numbers.

How you start the year
How you start the year is how you end the year - this is an overarching motto for the Chinese, every Chinese New Year. Just like greeting 'Gong Xi Fa Cai', which congratulates you for your future prosperity, the Chinese believe that setting the stage for good things to come is a powerful manifestation tool. So clear all debts, forgive old grudges, be in a healthy frame of mind, and have a clean house. If you start the year right, the rest of the year will be smooth-sailing. Gong Xi Fa Cai to you!

First aid beauty foods

2012-01-28T16:26:00.002+08:00

'With a high sodium and potassium content, mushrooms are extremely beneficial for broken capillaries and thread veins,' says Helen Ambrosen, arts and science co-ordinator for Lush.

'They are also packed with zinc, another helpful healing agent to reduce inflammation in skin while their antioxidants fight free radicals to protect against further damage.'

TRY IT: Especially kind to sensitive skin, liquidise mushrooms with almond oil to make a vitamin-packed treatment to soothe an irritated complexion. Rinse off after 10 minutes.

Stand up to angry spots with this fragrant herb which is packed with vitamins, minerals plus impressive anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties.

'It not only stimulates circulation to flush away toxic debris from the affected area but helps to repair and strengthen the skin too,' says holistic skincare expert, Bharti Vyas.

TRY IT: Grind a handful of parsley into a pulp and apply to the affected areas. Leave on for a few minutes then wash off with warm water and moisturise as normal.

'As well as its reliable skin-soothing properties, chamomile also has an impressive anti-inflammatory purpose which can reduce puffiness,' says Susan Curtis, medicines director at Neal's Yard Remedies.

'Used teabags are a handy ready-made mask and because skin under the eyes is extremely thin, the healing herbs can penetrate quickly for fast results.'

TRY IT: Place a used, cooled teabag over each eye and rest for 10 minutes. Or, intensify the effects and refrigerate them first - a chilled compress helps further constrict blood vessels to minimise shadows and calm puffiness.

Before the days of botox, Hollywood starlets swore-by the skin-toning properties of this retro remedy, says celebrity facialist Sarah Chapman.

'Whisked egg whites are well-known in the industry as a natural facelift,' she says. 'As they dry on skin, their water content evaporates which causes a temporary tightening action after they've been washed off,' Sarah explains. 'As egg whites also contain an enzyme which breaks-down bacteria, they can be used to relieve acne and minimise pores too.'

TRY IT: Whisk an egg white until fluffy and paint all over face and backs of hands with a mask brush. Leave to dry then wash-off with warm water.

Far from being the stuff of nightmares, Cheshire cheese could in fact be the latest wonder ingredient to wage war on wrinkles. This year, researchers at Reaseheath College discovered the crumbly delicacy can soften and moisturise dry skin to minimise the signs of time.

Milk is already a key ingredient in skincare as its lactic acids have exfoliating properties plus vital vitamins to nourish the complexion.

TRY IT: Make your own anti-wrinkle face pack with Cheshire cheese and double cream mixed into a soft paste. Apply to the face and leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing off with soap and water.

Calming, cleansing and softening, oats are used as a key ingredient in many best-selling products to treat dehydrated skin and eczema.

'The starchy nature of oats helps skin absorb and retain moisture. Oat milk moisturiser can also prevent anything from penetrating the skin that could cause further irritation,' says Helen Ambrosen. 'They also gently exfoliate which is still necessary for dry skin conditions to buff away dead cells so skin can breathe,' she adds.

TRY IT: Soak a handful of oats in cold water, after 30 minutes squeeze and sieve the oats to create oat milk. Apply straight away to skin with cotton wool for immediate relief.

This Mediterranean superfood is a nutritional powerhouse with inbuilt antioxidants to nurture nails back to health. 'When essential moisture has been lost from the nail plate, bonds between the layers break allowing water to penetrate and cause peeling,' says manicure guru Marian Newman.

'Olive oil essentially waterproofs nails as it is absorbs easily to safeguard against moisture loss.'

TRY IT: Gently file the edge of nails every week and massage a small amount of oil onto nails and the surrounding skin daily to top up moisture levels and nourish cuticles for healthy growth.

Swap the chemical cocktail found in most exfoliators for a more minimalist approach to skincare instead. 'Bicarbonate of soda is a miracle agent which gently alters the pH and acid mantle of the skin to shift dead cells which make the complexion look dull and tired,' says Sarah Chapman.

'Your face will look and feel smoother plus aftercare products can penetrate further too.'

TRY IT: Mix a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda with a little warm water to make a paste. Lightly massage over damp skin and rinse off. Repeat up to twice a week and follow with a protective cream or mask

'Avocado is an excellent beauty food for brittle hair as its oil can penetrate deep into the hair cuticle. It also acts like a moisture magnet which locks-in long lasting hydration to revive condition,' says celebrity tricologist Philip Kingsley.

'Avocado's combination of proteins, essential acids and vitamins A, D and E are all essential agents for healthy hair and manageability.'

TRY IT: Philip is famous for his deep conditioning treatments, so try making your own budget version. Mash half an avocado with two eggs plus a little olive oil and water. Work the emulsion into damp hair with your fingertips and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off thoroughly then shampoo and condition.

As well as making you look old, discoloured nails are a serious fashion no-no,' says Marian Newman. 'Lemon juice is a stain devil for nasty looking nails - its natural fruit acids work like a mild bleach to help remove impurities and stains almost instantly for healthy-looking hands,' she says.

TRY IT: Press affected nails into a fresh slice of lemon or lime for a few seconds. Leave the juice on for a few minutes before washing off then follow with an intensive hand cream if necessary.

Water, Wood, Fire, Metal: Discover the Hidden Dragons

2012-01-28T15:50:00.001+08:00

The Dragon is the only creature in the Chinese zodiac that is a mythical beast as opposed to a world dwelling animal. It represents mysticism and is what legends are made of, and they are known to be authoritative, and bearers of good fortune. Those born in the year of the Dragon are said to be similarly respected, fearless and successful.

Dragons have colourful personalities and cannot be held down by restrictive rules and regulations. They are free-spirited but single-minded about what they want. They are also proud and find difficulty admitting and apologising for their mistakes, and can be short-tempered, tactless and conceited.

Like any other sign in the Chinese horoscope, the year you are born in dictates the element your sign resides in. So if you are a dragon, are planning a dragon baby or know someone who is, as it turns out there is more than one kind of Dragon.

The Water Dragon (1952 and 2012)
Those born under the Dragon sign have naturally fiery characters. The Water element calms this Dragon's fire down, making those born in the year of the Water Dragon a little more empathetic and compassionate. Water Dragons are continue to demonstrate leadership qualities, but their leadership style may be less authoritarian and more democratic. They are better team players and are more patient and understanding in their dealings with others. The biggest problem with Water Dragons is their tendency to get distracted by the next big idea, and so they may jump from one project to another without actually completing any. Water Dragons should research the consequences of their actions before taking a plunge.

The Fire Dragon (1916 and 1976)
Fire Dragons are unstoppable. Extremely short tempered, Fire Dragons can be laughing one moment, blowing their top the next. Their temper is their own biggest failing. Fire Dragons are the strongest leaders, but only when they manage to keep their emotions in check. They are usually well read and purposeful, and possess a vigour that no other sign can compare with. This works in their favour, as their infectious spirit can quickly spread through any organisation or community.

The Wood Dragon (1904 and 1964)
The Wood element brings creativity to this robust leader. Wood Dragons are inquisitive and liberal and are open to new ideas. They are more authentic than other Dragons and takes pleasure in original and creative, yet practical pursuits. The Wood Dragon is perhaps the most rounded and balanced of all Dragon personalities and will find themselves naturally equipped to carve out a happy lifestyle for themselves

The Earth Dragon (1928 and 1988)
The Earth Dragon is the most levelheaded of all Dragons. They are practical leaders and have admirable social skills. Earth Dragons are usually pillars of society or the organisations that they work with. They have a keen eye for detail and are practical in their future plans. They don't lose their cool at the slightest disagreement. Earth Dragons have a more serious take on life and their responsibilities. Mess with an Earth Dragon's family or spouse, and the consequences will not be pretty.

The Metal Dragon (1940 and 2000)
Metal is a hard element and that lends a tenacity and ferociousness to the Dragon's personality. Metal Dragons are stubborn, courageous and unyielding. They are great friends to have and the worst enemies a person could encounter. Metal Dragons find comfort in progress and taking action, they are not ones to be complacent with a less-than-ideal situation. They are natural leaders and have no trouble finding motivation on their own. That said, tey can be difficult to deal with as they tend to want things done their way. Their proud nature may make them a little aloof and hard to connect with, but those who are loved by Metal Dragons, are also loved proudly and fiercely by them.

Secrets to a happy relationship

2012-01-26T12:38:00.003+08:00

We all hope our relationships will last forever (well, most of them), but the sad reality is that most of them come to an end at some stage, while two in three marriages now end in divorce.

Some couples, however, seem destined to stay together forever. How do these lucky ones do it? How can you emulate their happiness, and what measures can you take to prevent cracks appearing in your relationship?

Make sure it's not just about looks
It might be the first thing you notice about a person, but for your relationship to last beyond the so-called 'honeymoon' period, it should be based on more than a mutual physical attraction. "Usually, physical attraction is what brings you together in the first place," says Green. "And with that comes a cascade of chemical responses within your body, giving you the desire to keep seeing - and touching! Over time, those chemicals are replaced by others; bonding hormones that aren't as wildly exciting but make you feel close. If, however, all you have in common is a physical attraction, the loss of those initial feelings can leave you with no other 'glue' to hold you together. That's why enjoying each other's company, sharing a sense of humour and so on are so important to the long-term."

Don't drink too much
An alcoholic drink can help us to unwind with our other halves, but overdo it too often and your relationship could be seriously threatened. Advice website drinkaware.co.uk says: "A glass of wine can help you and your partner feel more relaxed and sociable. Drink too much however, and you could find your night ruined by a booze-fuelled barney that neither of you really want. Late-night disagreements may often be resolved in the morning, but they can grow into relationship-threatening resentments." The best way to deal with the situation is to talk it through as soon as you can and, if you can, go alcohol-free or seriously scale back your intake.

Share long-term goals
Many couples drift apart because, though they love each other, they want totally different things from life. "Sharing the same long-term goals is almost more important than enjoying similar activities," says Green. "If you both look to the future and see yourselves in similar places - living in the country with kids, at the apex of your careers or simply hanging out with friends and living each minute to the full - you're more likely to stick it out. Even if you're not aware of it, you probably have a vague long-term ideal of where you'd like to be and if you're with someone who will stymie your progress it can be extremely frustrating, and could cause resentment. That crack in a relationship can quickly lead to a split."

Communicate
Failure to communicate is the reason why even some of the best relationships fail. If there is a problem, your partner can't do anything about it unless you tell them. "Communication is at the heart of all relationships," says counselling website Relate.org.uk. "If you're having problems, set aside time to talk when you will not be interrupted. Take it in turns to have air time. Tell your partner how you felt, feel or will be feeling about something without blaming them. This can be tricky but it is a very useful way of owning your feelings."

Keep having fun together
Just because you've been together for a while doesn't mean you should stop having fun together. Domestic bliss is no excuse for complacency, says Green. "A lot is made of having regular 'date nights' with your partner. The idea being that by spending quality time together, you'll keep your friendship and therefore your love fresh and alive. But for some couples 'quality time' doesn't mean going to a restaurant for a meal or weekend breaks. The key is to recognise the moments that allow you to reconnect with your partner and focus on doing those regularly. It could be that a countryside hike is you and your partner's time to bond and talk, or during a round of golf, or simply playing a game with the kids. Figure out what makes both of you feel closer and aim to do that more often, rather than focusing on other people's ideas of what makes a 'perfect couple moment.'"

Stay faithful
It may sound obvious, but the need for fidelity is something that still eludes many men and women, despite the ruinous impact this can have on their relationship. In a recent survey by womensavers.com, 22% or married men in the US said they have strayed at least once during their married lives, while 14% of women admitted to cheating. Meanwhile, the fact that 17% of divorces are linked to an infidelity shows just how important it is to remain loyal to your partner. Even if you get away with it, the fact that you've strayed it is likely to put unnecessary pressure on your relationship.

Don't spend too much time together
Are you and your boyfriend joined at the hip? That's fine if it's what you both want, but if it's too much for one of you, then your relationship could soon be on the rocks. Green says: "Some couples thrive on being together 24-7 and actually become closer as a result. Others will find the love they have for each other withering under the same conditions. It all depends on what kind of person you are when you're single and how much you've adapted to your way of life for the relationship. If, for example, you used to enjoy gossiping, dancing or going out with friends, then putting all your energies and time into one other person can leave you feeling empty. The key is to recognise when you're missing aspects of your life that you had before, and ensuring you don't give them up."

Limit your time online
Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter may be a good way of keeping in touch with friends, but recent research shows that they are increasingly causing friction between couples. A survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers found that a staggering one in five divorces involve Facebook. Meanwhile, 80% of divorce lawyers polled reported a spike in the number of cases that use social media as evidence of cheating. Checking for online updates once a day is fine, but if you're constantly on there, then it's time to log off and focus on pressing your partner's buttons instead.

Asian royal beauty secrets

2012-01-26T12:34:00.001+08:00

Before the arrival of Western cosmetics, Chinese women had their very own set of beauty traditions passed down from previous generations. From pearl powder to ginseng, most of these beauty remedies were practiced by ancient China's empresses and princesses. In this gallery we highlight the top 8 beauty secrets used in ancient China.

Princess Taiping is said to have one very exclusive facial mask recipe passed down from her mother, Empress Wu: the peach blossom mask. It is created by grinding dried peach blossoms into very fine powder-like texture and mixed into a paste with the blood of a black chicken afterwards. This mask was supposedly meant to nourish and whiten the skin while stimulating metabolism.

Did you know that jade was once also used as a beauty remedy? The Empress Dowager Cixi was said to have used a face-roller made out of jade on her face every morning before dressing. It is believed that this ornamental stone has health-enhancing functions and thus, by massaging, this will keep the blood circulating.

Another beauty tradition done by Empress Dowager Cixi is having a sliced ginseng in her mouth to keep her body nourished. The Ginseng is popularly known as the 'king of herbs' as it contains not only health-benefiting properties but also antioxidants to rejuvenate the skin and promote the regeneration of new skin cells.

The infamous Babao Cha 'Eight Treasures Tea' is also another one of Empress Dowager Cixi's well-known beauty secrets. Created by her imperial doctors, this drink is made up of ginseng slices, sultanas, dried longans, Chinese dates, goji, luohan fruit, chrysanthemum, rock sugar and jasmine green tea. This tea was believed to help brighten the eyes and promote longevity if drank everyday throughout the year.

Relaxation was also a common practice in the imperial household. The Empress Wu ZeTian who was a devout Taoist always made time everyday to calm her mind and soul by closing her eyes and clearing her mind. The concept of Zen was proven to effectively relieve stress.

Empress Lu Zhi, one of China's most well beautiful empresses had flawless and beautiful skin. Her beauty secret was simply the 'Tremella'. This traditional Chinese medicinal mushroom has powerful hydrating properties. It is said that its water-retention ability was higher than both hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Not only that, Tremella is rich in Vitamin D, a crucial element in skin-cell metabolism.

One of China's most famous concubine, Yang Yuhuan was once praised for her porcelain perfect skin. Her beauty secret lies within the Lychee fruit. It is said that she used this very fruit in her hot spring bath. Lychee is an excellent source of protein, Vitamin B and C, phosphorous and iron which helped moisten her skin.

The pearl has been one of China's most ancient royal beauty secrets. The empress, Wu Ze Tian, who was China's only female emperor used pearl powder to maintain her beauty. This pearl powder was to be consumed or applied on skin to keep her complexion free from wrinkles. According to an ancient Chinese medical book (Ben Cao Gang Mu or Materia Medica), pearl can stimulate new skin cells and healing, detox the skin and help slow down the ageing process.

Waise hi hai meri
Saari adaayein
I’ll be you’rs and you’ll be mine
Love is such a waste of time
You could my girl for sure
1..2..3..4..

Milgaye jo chora chori
Hui masti thodi thodi
Bas pyaar ka naam na lena
I hate love stories

Milgaye jo chora chori
Hui masti thodi thodi
Bas pyaar ka naam na lena
I hate luv stories

I know you like me,
You know i like you
Lets get together girl
You know you want to

I know you like me,
You know i like you
Lets get together girl
You know you want to

Raat din aate jaate
Hoti hai.. sau mulaquatein
Aage badti hai baatein
Peeche chhod de
Raaste mein hai thehre
Aur bhi kitne chehre
Aaj phir apni aankhein
Unse jod lee…kho jaayega
Lamha yeh kho jaayega
Mudhe naa phir aayega
Raho mein usko raklee
Ho jaayega hoga jo ho jaayega
You know you’re so hot
You’re on fire
1..2..3..4… Go

Milgaye jo chora chori
Hui masti thodi thodi
Bas pyaar ka naam na lena
I hate luv stories

Milgaye jo chora chori
Hui masti thodi thodi
Bas pyaar ka naam na lena
I hate luv story

ICE CASTLES -Looking Through The Eyes Of Love

2011-12-29T18:46:00.001+08:00

Please, don't let this feeling end
It's everything I am,
Everything I want to be.
I can see what's mine now,
Finding out what's true,
Since I've found you...
Looking through the eyes of love.

Now I can take the time,
I can see my life
As it comes up shining now.
Reaching' out to touch you,
I can feel so much,
Since I've found you...
Looking' through the eyes of love.

And now, I do believe,
That even in a storm, we'll find some light.
Knowing' you're beside me, I'm alright.

Please don't let this feelin end,
It might not come again;
And I want to remember
How it feels to touch you;
How I feel so much,
Since I've found you...
Looking' through the eyes of love.

Reaching out to touch you,
I can feel so much,
Since I've found you...
Looking' through the eyes of love.

One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

2011-12-26T16:33:00.000+08:00

[Verse 1]
You're insecure,
Don't know what for,
You're turning heads when you walk through the door,
Don't need make-up,
To cover up,
Being the way that you are is enough,

[Bridge]
Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful

[Verse 2]
So c-come on,
You got it wrong,
To prove I'm right,
I put it in a song,
I don't know why,
You're being shy,
And turn away when I look into your eye eye eyes,

[Bridge]
Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful

Na Na Na Na Na Na Naaa,
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na [x2]

[Middle 8]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful

Flirting moves that work (and the ones that never will)

2011-12-23T01:10:00.002+08:00

Are you a first-class flirt? Find out by seeing if you follow our flirting moves that will make him smitten or these flirting blunders that yell desperate!

Flirt flunk: too much, too soon
In clothing, subtlety is far more powerful than out-and-out blatant. "We all like to feel as though we've earned something special, and so it makes sense that if we get a glimpse of bare flesh, it's far more intriguing and exciting than a bare-all view of what you have to offer," says sex therapist Dr Ian Kerner, author of Passionista: The Empowered Woman's Guide To Pleasuring A Man. Wear a loose-fitting T-shirt that shows off your shoulders, a high-neck blouse that perfectly fits your contours or just great-fitting jeans.

First-class flirt: the right stuff
You may not have a pair of lucky knickers, but there will be certain items of clothing that'll make your flirting more successful. "When a woman feels good in what she's wearing, you can tell immediately," says Kerner. "Then, all it takes is for her to quickly smooth her skirt, delicately adjust a skinny strap or playfully finger the collar of her blouse and a guy will be on full alert." And add a splash of red too: a study by the University of Rochester in the US found that men rated women as more attractive if they were wearing red rather than blue. "A neck scarf, shoes or lipstick would be enough," adds Kerner.

Flirt flunk: the head lock
Turning to face him, staring as you thrust your feminine weaponry in his direction might seem bold and sexy, but it's more confrontational than suggestive. "Instead, putting your head at an angle as you look at him not only exposes your neck, an erogenous zone, it also makes you widen your eyes," says sex expert Dr Pam Spurr. "With just a tiny chin dip, you can create an instant come-to-bed look."

First-class flirt: perfect the look
Want to know international code for, "Hey, gorgeous! How about it?" Here's your answer. According to biological anthropologist Dr Helen Fisher, women around the world use certain flirt techniques again and again. "First the woman smiles at her admirer and lifts her eyebrows in a swift, jerky motion as she opens her eyes wide to gaze at him," she said in an article for Psychology Today. "Then she drops her eyelids, tilts her head down and to the side, and looks away." For this reason alone, the woman who use this method is more likely to get her message across, regardless of the nationality of the guy she's trying to bag.

First-class flirt: eye to eye
Gazing into a man's eyes is one of the best ways to show your intentions. But don't let it go on too long - two or three seconds is plenty. Count one-one-thousand two-one-thousand three-one-thousand and you'll have locked eyes for just the right amount of time.

Flirt flunk: too much tongue exposure
"Drawing attention to your lips is a great flirtation technique," says Spurr. "But don't overdo it, or you'll just look like you're incapable of keeping your tongue in your mouth." Instead, choose your moment. "When you've got his attention, apply a little lip gloss with your finger," she says. It's subtle but extremely effective without making you look as though you're auditioning for a low-budget erotic film.

First-class flirt: the Midas touch
A good flirt knows how to touch just enough to send a flirty message without coming on too strong. "Aim for skin-on-skin contact if you can," says Dr Spurr. "On his cheek when you kiss him hello and on his forearm is great. And for a real flirty move, touch him on his hair above or behind his ear. Pretend to remove a bit of lint or fluff and he'll feel the intimacy of the move without it being embarrassingly obvious."

Flirt flunk: the dirty groper
His pert cheeks might look like they're begging for a grabble, but man-handling him could turn him off. "Some men will get scared off by a woman who's too full on," says Spurr. Letting him know you're interested through skin-on-skin contact needs to be done with care. "His skin will tingle where your fingers caressed his skin," adds Spurr. "But grabbing or squeezing, while obvious, just isn't as seductive."

First-class flirt: so funny!
In Dr Fisher's studies of flirting across cultures, she also found that women from various places in the world frequently covered their faces with their hands while giggling. "Laughter shows pleasure, so it's key to attraction," says Spurr. "And covering your mouth is a very coy move that actually serves to draw more attention to that part of you. It's subtly sexy."

Flirt flunk: but not that funny
Laughing long and hard is great if it's a one-off but doing it repeatedly at every joke he makes is a no-no. Because, let's face it, no man is that funny. "We men are proud of our wit and would like to believe that we can make you laugh," says Kerner. "That's why fake laughter does nothing for a man's ego. It often sounds awful too." If he does make a doozy of a joke, turn the joke around and tease him jokily about how bad it was. That way you'll both be laughing all the way to the bedroom.

How to be great on a date

2011-12-23T01:03:00.002+08:00

Let's face it, going on a date can be a nerve-wracking experience, but it doesn't have to be that way. With a bit of mental preparation, the right outfit and some good old-fashioned skin and hair pampering, you will be well on your way to impressing your date. But for that extra bit of magic, you'll need a generous helping of confidence to let you radiate your inner beauty. So how do you get it?

Self talk
Make a list of all the negative beliefs you have about yourself and make them positive. For example, if you've said, 'I don't think I'm very attractive' change this to 'I AM very attractive!'. This turns a negative thought into a positive affirmation and you should aim to say these statements aloud every day until you start actually believing them. This is a powerful technique as you are literally talking to your subconscious where all your negative beliefs about yourself are stored.

What's your agenda?
Before going on your date you should decide what you want out of the experience - is it just a bit of fun youâ're after or a long-term partner? Decide what perception you want the other person to have of you and decide in advance the one thing you want them to remember about you

Work on your inner beauty
It may be a cliche but beauty really does come from the inside. It is not just about aesthetics. If you think someone is too good looking for you, think again. It's very possible they may not be very nice on the inside! Before you start dating, make sure you have inner strength and are backing yourself 100%. This inner confidence will then shine through and make you glow from the inside out.

Make yourself feel good
Once you've worked on your inner confidence, don't undermine this by not dressing for success. Wear things that make you feel confident and sexy. Also, spend time on yourself. Go to the hairdressers and the gym. Go for a massage and eat the right food. It sounds simple, but most of us just don't do it. Looking after yourself tells you - and everybody else - that you have respect for yourself.

Don't put yourself down
Observe how you talk about yourself. Don't use sentences like 'I've never been any good at...' 'I've always been so clumsy at...' 'I always look a mess'. You can say these phrases without thinking, but they're the worse kind as within a second of saying them you have undone all your good work by telling yourself and others that you donât really rate yourself. The biggest turn-off on a date is when someone talks about their imperfections. It's not interesting or cute - it's just boring and makes the other person feel awkward

Boost your confidence
Confidence is perceived as being one of the most attractive traits in an individual. Give yourself a confidence booster by flirting with someone in a bar or go out for dinner on your own and make eye contact with people. Do something that you would never normally dream of doing.

Don't give the game away
People who tell their whole life story in one go quickly lose all their mystery and interest. So don't give the whole game away, as it makes you less attractive. This includes the obvious: not talking about past relationships. Also, don't feel as if you need to be doing all the talking. You are more powerful as a listener rather than babbling on to fill space.

The top 10 hobbies that make people fancy you

2011-12-23T00:56:00.002+08:00

What do you find attractive in the opposite sex? Good looks? Charm? Wit? A new survey has revealed the hobbies we take up could seal the deal when it comes to finding a partner. Here are the top 10 most appealing pastimes.

Dancing
It probably won't come as a surprise to you ladies that men rated dancing as the most attractive hobby for a woman to have. A whopping 89% of those questioned said that they'd be more interested in ladies who knew their fancy footwork. Time to get your groove on, girls!

Yoga
Yoga closely followed dancing as the second most attractive hobby that a woman can take up. Surely nothing to do with the flexibility involved, eh lads?

Swimming
In at number three was swimming - good for your general health, keeping toned and also appealing to men, so it would seem.

Cooking
It's a bit of an old-fashioned cliche, but women who can cook are still attractive to the opposite sex. Well over half (62%) of men questioned said that being a dab hand in the kitchen makes a woman more appealing.

Pole dancing
Pole dancing has become a popular activity in recent years and not just with women. Nearly half of all the men who took part in the study said that they find the hobby appealing in the opposite sex.

Football
Maybe it has something to do with David Beckham's rise to fame, the WAG lifestyle or perhaps it's just the sight of men in shorts, but football is the hobby that women find most appealing. A whopping 91% of the ladies questioned said that a man with soccer skills would be in with a chance.

Surfing
Surfer dudes also proved popular with the ladies - 83% of those questioned claimed they would give a guy with a surfboard a second look.

Photography
If you're not an adrenaline junkie then fear not, lads! Three-quarters of women said that photography was a good hobby for men to have.

Rock climbing
In at number four for the lads was rock climbing - clearly some women like their men to be daring (not to mention flexing their muscles in tight clothing!).

Whitewater rafting
More good news for the dare devils out there - 47% of women said they liked adrenaline junkies who were into whitewater rafting.

The Wanted - Heart Vacancy

2011-12-23T00:46:00.000+08:00

I hear your heart cry for love,
But you won't let me make it right.
You were hurt, but I decided,
That you were worth the fight.
Every night, you lock up,
You won't let me come inside.
But the look in your eyes,
As I can turn the tide.

In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
I can tell you can fit one more.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
I don't care who was there before.

I hear your heart cry for love,
Then you act like there's no room.
Room for me, or anyone,
"Don't disturb" is all I see.
Close the door, turn the key,
On everything that we could be.
If loneliness would move out,
I'd fill the vacancy.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart.

This ain't the Heartbreak Hotel,
Even though I know it well.
Those no shows, they sure tell,
In the way you hold yourself.
Don't you fret, should you get,
Another cancellation.
Give me a chance I'd make a,
Permanent reservation.

In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
I can tell you can fit one more.
Open up make a brand new start,
I don't care who's stayed before.

I hear your heart cry for love,
Then you act like there's no room.
Room for me, or anyone,
"Don't disturb" is all I see.
Close the door, turn the key,
On everything that we could be.
If loneliness would move out,
I'd fill the vacancy.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart.

When I, talk to you, on the phone,
Listen close.

I hear your heart cry for love,
Then you act like there's no room.
Room for me, or anyone,
"Don't disturb" is all I see.
Close the door, turn the key,
On everything that we could be.
If loneliness would move out,
I'd fill the vacancy.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart.

The Wanted - Lightning

2011-12-23T00:42:00.000+08:00

Your in control
Puts a pause on my heartbeat
Someone stole all the air
So I can't speak now
I know the chase is on
I feel as though
My time has come
How many times do I fly
Through your head spins
Now it's speeding away
From the safeness
Yeah your skin
Your touch the kiss
You rush too much
And here you come
When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life
I know I know
That it's a little bit frightening
We might aswell be playing
With lightning
When your lips touch mine
Like it's our first time
Oh oh
I know it is a little bit frightening
We might aswell be playing
With lightning now
Oh oh
Oh oh
Just you and me and the
Coats in the back room
Learning things the don't
Teach in the classroom
Now, your here
And feel the fear
Of you, with me
It's good, so clear
Been addicted to you
Since the first date
Out of control like a surge of electric
Now, your skin
Your touch the kiss
You rush too much
And here you come
When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life
I know, I know
That it's a little bit frightening
We might aswell be playing
With lightning
When your lips touch mine
Like it's our first time
Oh oh
I know it's a little bit frightening
We might as wel be playing
With lightning now
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Your skin, your touch
The kiss, to rush
Your skin, your touch
To kiss, to rush
Your skin, your touch
To kiss, to rush
The rush, the rush
The rush, the rush
When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life
I know, I know
That it's a little bit frightening
We might aswell be playing
With lightning
When your lips touch mine
Like it's our first time
Oh oh
I know it's a little bit frightening
We might as wel be playing
With lightning now
Oh oh
Oh oh

Miss Malaysia Finalist 2011

2011-12-21T02:14:00.003+08:00

20th December - I was one of the finalist chosen. I was happy and nervous but somehow got hold of myself when I knew my family was coming and I also had support from my friend from miles apart and near distance friends. I was glad to know that I wasn't alone. The event started at 7ish but we were told to be there at 5pm. I was proud of myself in a way for coming all the way and having the chance to learn. I even made new friends and people from the business world which will be handy for me in future. As usual I am the indian among the other chinese or sabah race but that never stops me from doing my best. I just know that by my actions or participation, the audience of the same race would probably be proud or even be happy or glad to know that their own race is in the game as well. Anyway , I was very pleased to see my parents showing up and supporting me. I hope I am making them proud by this way atleast and I am proud that when my parents tell me that there are people who acknowledge them due to my participation. Anyways, I think I have established a good repo and placed myself for a lot more exposure in this field. :)

Summit TMC X'Mas Party

2011-12-20T02:56:00.002+08:00

It was the 19th December where X'Mas party has begun for me. Aunty Dorothy and Aunty Parames were there earlier decorating the rooms while Lucas and I headed down to the sports shop to help buy squash rackets. It was such a lovely racket that Lucas bought I just loved it very much. He is officially now well-equipped but is going to need training as he is playing squash for leisure purpose. We were then joined by Aunty Shirley. We went to decorate the venue to give it a X'Mas look and vibe in the room. The best part was I didn't have any X'Mas cap therefore Aunty Parames gave me a ribbon (red + green) to be used as something to symbolize X'Mas spirit. The room literally was flooded with people whom I know and some new. I was then given a task by Aunt Parames to pin up something outside so I went outside alone while everyone was inside but to my surprise Lucas came out to see what was I doing. That gesture showed me he cared and thank you by the way for being concern.We then took group picture. Here's the awkward part : we took group pictures and one part I placed my palm on Aunt Shirley's shoulder while Lucas placed his palm above mine but somehow it touched my hand but didn't bother me at all. We then had to adjourn to the meeting so we took our place. I sat just across Lucas and next to me was Aunty Shirley and Aunty Dorothy. We then introduced ourself and I heard Aunty Shel saying that I am to be given the post of VPPM to Aunty Parames. I was like *heart attack* and *jawdrop* but I ignored and just enjoying myself. We then were given table topics and my topic was "The Most Memorable X'Mas is..". The moment I got that topic my heart just sank and I barely could feel my heart as it reminded me of my late grandpa. As far as I know , I was pushing myself to talk bout my grandpa in front of the room and I knew my voice was shaky due to trying to hold back every single tear drops. I found that quite a challenge for me but I managed to pull through it cause I know my grandpa is watching over me to what I have to say about him. It was then dinner time and X'Mas gift exchange time. I then went to get my dinner and I went up to Lucas and said "now got so many leng lui's to get so go talk to them.". He then replied "yeah yeah but got YOU...". He paused upon saying that and when I asked him to repeat all he could say was leave it. I then left him and joined other senior people as I didn't want to be around Lucas to give him chance to meet the new girls and all. After that, we had our X'Mas gift exchange and mine was #8. After that, we sat in our positions and Lucas asked "you going now or soon? ". I told him "dont worry I wont leave without saying bye to you.". He then smiled and looked away. It was then the speeches and all. Halfway through I had to leave so I managed to get Lucas attention to say bye to him and he acknowledged it and then I said bye to Aunty Shel and Aunty Jamila. After leaving, I then texted Lucas to thank him for coming over and telling him to enjoy himself. He then replied he had fun and etc. Over all , indeed it was an amazing X'Mas party. MERRY X'MAS to everyone :)

TLI 2 at IJM PJ

2011-12-17T22:49:00.002+08:00

Today I attended the TLI 2 at IJM PJ. I was there at 12pm and was helping around till 1.30pm where it only begun. I met most of my senior Toastmasters and was helping in the registration. It was fun and I was "hyper" according to Mr.Emil. I also met Lucas and we spoke and disturbed and he was just too cool and was enjoying every moment along side with Mr.Emil , Ms.Jamila and Mrs.Dorothy. I was literally being a clown and joking and being sarcastic in a good humorous way with Jamila so all were laughing along upon hearing what I had to say. The training then started at 2ish and I had to leave about 3ish as I had to attend a family prayer. I just couldn't leave just like that so I just informed my friend, Lucas and the best part was we were texting during the session before they broke us all up into groups but I had to run so yeah we texted and we cracked some jokes while texting. The text that he last sent was " See him before I leave". I then replied " Yeah I will. Who knows you cry then flood this place up. hahax ". Well it was about 2.55pm I spoke to Lucas before I left and we chit chat for awhile and he was talking bout buying some sports items and he would love to take up squash for leisure. I then explained to him and all and he said in 2-3 weeks time he would call me out to go buy those items for squash and all plus he told me he'll be dropping by on Monday for my clubs X'Mas celebration. And he took out from his coat , a chocolate box and gave it to me and I was like " OMG, Thank You". Trust me it wasn't any ordinary chocolate but it was..it was..FERRERO ROCHER!! =D

10 things men don't understand about women

2011-12-14T21:37:00.002+08:00

Some say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus and in terms of us being different, they weren't far from the truth.

Yes, we do have to spend two hours getting ready, and looking at every single pair of shoes in the shopping centre before making a decision.

1. Why we have to make the bed
We know we're only going to mess it up again when we get back in it later on, but we still like to leave it neat and tidy, alright lads?

2.Why we take so long getting ready
We always like to feel our best when heading out of the house, no matter how much men protest about how long it takes for us to get ready. Yes, we do need to apply lipstick even if we're only going to the supermarket - because we're worth it.

3.Why we have to browse
We know we often go shopping, see a pair of shoes we love but insist on trawling the whole street just in case there's a pair we like even more before buying the pair we looked at originally. Well, we couldn't go home wondering 'what if?', could we?

4.Why kisses on text messages are important
Men take note: women do actually count how many kisses you put on the end of your text messages, and yes, it does mean something to us, like exactly how much you like us.

5.Why chocolate makes things feel better instantly
Nothing takes the pain of a stressful day or broken heart away like the taste of chocolate. Fact.

6.Why we don't laugh at fart jokes
This is an age-old mystery - and one that isn't likely to be solved anytime in the near future. Fart jokes simply aren't funny unless you're a bloke.

7.Why one black skirt/handbag/pair of heels is never enough
Just because we already have one of everything, it doesn't mean that we don't need at least another three of each, just in case.

8.Why our hormones take over once a month
Now we don't expect men to understand this one because they've never been through it themselves, but it's something we don't have control over, so it's best to stay out of our way when it's happening.

9.Why we have to own so many pairs of shoes
The size of our shoe collections has baffled men for decades, but we just have to have a pair that matches everything we own - it's a basic human right after all.

10.Why we want to be independent (but still want doors held open for us)
Men have been holding doors open for us since the dawn of, well, doors and we still love it when they do. Only thing is, we like it when it suits us - because we're independent women these days, fellas.

20 things a woman wants her man to do for her

2011-12-14T21:17:00.002+08:00

1. No secrets
Share your secrets with your girl. It shows her that you trust her and you're opening up to her. Whether it's an embarrassing one or your personal wishes, we won't judge you. In fact, we think it's sweet when a guy is brave enough to admit something that only his bestfriends know (or no one at all!).

2. Be her pillar of strength
Most modern women are independent and ambition-driven, but that doesn't mean we're strong 24/7. Be there when she's feeling down, make her believe in herself when her self-confidence hits rock bottom, and she'll do the same to you.

3. Surprise her
You don't need to buy a Louis Vuitton or Prada bag to make your woman happy. Little surprises out of the blue will gain you plus points and a 100-watt smile from her. Flowers are available all year round, not only on her birthday or anniversaries. If you know she loves cute things, get her a small stuffed toy, or if she likes a certain beauty brand, get her a perfume or body care products.

4. Spare time for her
Being young and ambitious, a lot of us just concentrate on work or parties all the time, and we tend to abandon our loved one. Regular meals together will strengthen your relationship - it's a private time for both of you to talk to each other without interruptions. Remember to keep your phone away from the table though, or else you'll be paying more attention to it than to your girl!

5. Respect
A lot of guys still have a 'macho' mentality and think that women are the weaker sex. That's where you're wrong. Don't belittle her ambitions or make fun of her when she makes a mistake. Take her seriously and respect her as an individual.

6. Love her, love her body
Stop nagging about how she should hit the gym and lose weight, stop making fun of her love handles. Comparisons with other 'hot' girls won't improve your relationship or her self-esteem either. You fell inlove with her for who she is, so why the need to change her looks?

7. Cook
Cook for her once in a while. We're not talking about a five-course meal, but simple things like pasta dinner (accompanied by a bottle of good wine), or a simple breakfast in bed on a Sunday morning.

8. PDA
Hold her hand in front of your mates, give her a kiss and don't be shy to hug her in public. Don't go overboard and do it non-stop though, we want sweet gestures, not sexual ones.

9. Tell her she's beautiful
Your other half should be the most beautiful girl in the world to you, and let her know that - often! A lot of guys constantly compliment other girls but not the one who's actually next to them!

10. Share your feelings
If you miss her, let her know. Tell her how you feel about her - the 'I love you's' should be expressed more often than just during your anniversary.

11. Stand up for her
If anyone says anything bad about your girl or makes fun of her, don't be a jerk and just agree or laugh along. You should have her back and stand up for her in such situations.

12. Bring her shopping
Again, we don't mean you should max out your credit cards by bringing us to expensive, high-end stores. Monthly or bi-monthly trips to high street stores like Topshop or Forever 21, or even stand-alone clothing boutiques have affordable dresses that we love!

13. Be responsible
Pay the bills on time, don't be late to dinner dates, and help your loved one out in household matters. Guys, it's not okay to make your woman wait hours for you or on you.

14. Be more adventurous...in bed
Most of the women we conducted the survey with exclaimed that their other halves are not making enough effort in bed. If you're doing the same thing over and over again, your woman will slowly feel sexually disconnected from you, so be more adventurous and try out some new positions - after all, sex is healthy for you!

15. Chivalry is not dead
Women woud like to believe that chivalry still exists among this generation of men. Be a gentleman and hold the door open for your lady, open your car door for her, or take her hand when crossing the street. This shows that you care for her wellbeing and comfort.

16. Attention
Be attentive to your woman's needs and emotions. If she has had a tough day at work, let her rest and don't expect her to still cook dinner for you while you just sit around and watch TV. If she looks unhappy, ask her what's the matter, talk to her, or give her a hug.

17. Hang out with her friends
Make the effort to get to know her friends and be nice to them. Some guys don't think it's important to hang out with his girl's friends, but see it as a way to get to know your girl better (friends can give an insight about her character as well!) and, it's always good to have her friends on your side!

18. Be honest
The truth can hurt, but it's always best to be honest. If you want to hang out with your friends, then tell her instead of doing it behind her back (a lot of guys will give the excuse of being busy with 'work' rather than admit he's with his friends!). Or if something's bothering you, then let your girl know. A relationship can only survive when there's no communication barrier between a couple

19. Keep your promises
Women dislike guys who are 'All Talk, No Action'. If you promised to bring her out on a date, or even small things like calling her, make sure you do it. When you keep on forgetting, you're creating the impression that you're irresponsible and she can't depend on you to keep your word.

20. She should be a priority
A girl doesn't want to be an option, she wants to be a priority. A happy relationship exists when two people make each other a priority, equally. This means being considerate, having respect and making her an important aspect of your life.

Kegare no nai sono hohoemi zankoku na hodo
Tooi sonzai da to wakaru yo

Ienai kizu kokoro mushibamu dake na no ni
Yami no naka ni ima mo yadoru

Kodoku no fuchi arukinagara sukuwarete ita

Demo hikari ga mabushii hodo umareru kage wa

Ochite ochite ochite
Mou modorenai tsumi wo kizande mo kitto

translation:

Shaking in red, in red, in red
To the edge of the dream, of the dream
We can't be separated

Already, every time when I'm stifled to death after I give up again and again
My emotions that have no place to go wake me up
Your unblemished smile knows it's an existence
So distant that it's cruel

Even though the incurable wound only eats away at my heart
Even now I can't completely hold back my thoughts (that dwell) (within) the darkness

Shaking in red, in red, in red
To the edge of the dream, of the dream
We met; destiny begins to turn
A secret that no one, no one knows about
As I fall, I fall, I fall
I certainly can't return anymore, even if I carve out my my sins, surely

While I was walking in the abyss of loneliness, I was saved
By realistic eyes that never change
But a shadow born as the light is bright
Deeply and pronouncedly creeps up to me

The two heartbeats are exactly like mirrors facing each other
The (pains) are similar (but) different and continue infinitely

Burning in red, in red, in red
Erasing everything, everything
An unfulfilled illusion begins to move
Strongly, strongly
Overcoming, overcoming, overcoming the fleeting night
I certainly can't escape, even if I drown in my sins, surely

Shaking in red, in red, in red
To the edge of the dream, of the dream
We met; destiny begins to turn
A secret that no one, no one knows about
As I fall, I fall, I fall
I certainly can't return anymore, even if I carve out my my sins, surely

Hi Miss Alice
With your glass eyes
What kind of dream
Can you see?
Are you fascinated with?

Stilll
My heart tears
And drifts
Stuck in the patched crevices
Are memories

Hi Miss Alice
With that fruitful lips
To whom does love
Is cast away?
Is lamented?

Already
I spin my words
Feverish tongue
Has turned cold
The song to love
Can't be sung either

Still you do not answer

Christina Perri - Arms lyric and video

2011-12-06T12:08:00.001+08:00

I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go...

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'til you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

You put your arms around me and I'm home

Christina Perri - A Thousand Years lyrics and video

2011-12-06T12:05:00.000+08:00

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
Watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Which couple-type are you?

2011-12-02T10:41:00.002+08:00

Relationship research repeatedly shows we're drawn to particular partners because they fulfil some sort of family 'script' from childhood. You learn how to relate to others by watching your parents relate to each other. And if someone you meet makes you feel like you've "known them all your life" you can bet they fulfil a 'role' you're familiar with - probably dating back to your childhood. There are many variations of couple-types but here are key ones from the world of celebrities that you might recognise in your own relationships.

The Power Couple
Celebrity example: Beyonce and Jay Z
As a power couple you both bring strong personalities and lots of success to the table. You're high achievers and in your own right you've both accomplished so much. You surround yourself with other successful couples and enjoy the trappings of your success.
The pros: if neither of you are insecure you can make a perfect partnership cheering on each other's successes. You thrive in the reflected glory from each other.
The cons: during rocky times you might start competing against each other. Or if your career takes a nose-dive you might resent the continued success of your partner.

The Grown-Up and Big Kid
Celebrity example: Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher
There's sometimes an age gap but not always - you can get a Grown-Up and Big Kid pairing the same age. The dynamic's always about one being a super-responsible parent-type while the other plays up in childish ways. It works because the Grown-Up is controlling and the Big Kid avoids taking responsibility and needs a lot of cajoling.
The pros: if both of you are content in your distinct roles this can be a lifelong relationship that works well. There are ups and downs but you have an understanding between you others might not get.
The cons: the Grown-Up partner might grow tired of the childish one. Or if the Big Kid finally grows up emotionally, the Grown-Up may look for another Big Kid to "look after" because they don't want to give up their controlling ways.

The Explosive Couple
Celebrity example: Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick
Passion and fireworks are guaranteed with this couple-type who seem to thrive on rows and are often at each other's throats. Equally they're passionately defensive of each other so don't criticise one to the other.
The pros: life can never be called boring and your sex life's often equally exciting. While you might have big blowouts you're also incredibly affectionate and show lots of love for each other in the less rocky times.
The cons: it's likely one of you one day wakes up and thinks do I really need all this aggravation? A breakup will be on the cards if they decide they'd like some peace and quiet in their life.

The Equal Partnership
Celebrity example: Frank Lampard and Christine Bleakley
There's a lot of harmony in this couple-type where they share similar attitudes and there's a good power balance between them. You're both down to earth, don't play games or have hidden agendas.
The pros: you're each other's best supporters and have mutual respect. You're unlikely to have many disagreements and enjoy a great deal of equilibrium.
The cons: there might be times where differences on important issues come between you because you don't want to rock the harmonious boat you've had so far. Beware of sweeping such things under the carpet.

The Quirky Couple
Celebrity example: Katy Perry and Russell Brand
You're drawn to each other because of your quirks and independent streaks in your nature. Neither of you follows the crowd and you wouldn't be attracted to someone who did. Because you appreciate creativity you have mutual respect for each other's unusual streaks.
The pros: both of you have an intense dislike of boredom and are likely to keep things lively. You'll spur each other on to have the confidence to try out your different ideas and new things.
The cons: unfortunately you're at risk of becoming bored with each other - or that one of you becomes bored with the other. Put this down to your strong need for new ideas, new stimulation and wanting to feel creative.

The Leader and Follower
Celebrity example: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
One of you has a strong sense of drive - often taking on worthy projects - while the other comes on board as a Follower. The Leader often puts their relationship in second place but the Follower puts the relationship first. This works because the Leader likes to be cheered-on while the Follower gets pleasure in watching the Leader succeed. In this case it's Angelina who's the Leader - she was already taking on international issues and had adopted children before Brad came on board.
The pros: as long as the Follower gets attention/affection for fulfilling that role this is a relationship that can survive the test of time. Despite outsiders being critical of your 'roles', it can work well because you both get what you need out of it.
The cons: in extreme cases the Follower becomes too much like a little puppy dancing around the heels of its master. They can lose respect for themselves and the Leader may tire of living up to their hero worship.

6 things to think about before entering a relationship

2011-11-26T18:31:00.001+08:00

When you click with someone and think to yourself that maybe this person could be different from the others you have met on dates, you most likely want to take things further and let it develop into a relationship. Whether you have been single for a short time or for as long as you can remember, there are some things you should ask yourself before getting into a relationship to make sure that it works out. Here are some pre-relationship questions for you to think about.

Ask yourself whether you are really ready for a relationship. If you have just come out of a difficult relationship, you're likely to have a lot of emotional baggage which you need to deal with beforehand. Similarly you don't want to get into a relationship for the sake of it because you're bored of being single or because you want to make someone jealous

Ask yourself whether you really know the person. Yes, you may have learnt a lot about them from going on dates together, but you need to go a little deeper; find out who they really are. Find out whether they are compatible, or whether friends know them. The last thing you want is to get into a relationship and find out the person is a nutcase, has big financial difficulties or is emotionally unavailable

Ask yourself whether you are being practical. It's not going to last if you don't have the same goals or they have traits which you don't like. They may be good looking, but don't let lust cloud your judgement and brush the negative things aside. If you want different things in life or have different goals then it's unlikely to work.

Ask yourself whether you have the same values and morals. A relationship has a better chance of surviving if the couple have the same core beliefs and values, as people's actions and decisions are based on these. Despite the saying "opposites attract", this isn't necessarily the case, and you are likely to find yourselves at loggerheads and clashing.

Ask yourself whether this is a positive thing as a relationship should make you happy, plaster a grin across your face, a glow in your cheeks and a spring in your step. It should be something that adds value to your life and be a positive thing. Don't let someone bring in negativity to your life or be negative about you.

Ask yourself whether you trust this person. While trust is something that a person earns and grows over time, it is the basic of every relationship. Do you trust this person you want to get into a relationship with? Do you feel safe with them? Do you trust that they will treat you right? Having this basic trust will allow the relationship to flourish.

16 reasons you are still single

2011-11-26T18:09:00.002+08:00

You listen too much
-So your friend tells you that your partner is no good for you, they pick on his flaws and tells you that you deserve better. It's no harm listening to a third party point of view but keep in mind that you are the one in the relationship so you should know what exactly is going on. Take the advice you need and leave the ones you don't.

You're too independent
-Being single has its perks and benefits but the time will come when you no longer want to be alone but you realise that depending on someone else is just too hard because you are too independent. The problem is that some people avoid committing into relationships because they are afraid of being too dependent on their partners. Well the trick is to find the right person to depend on.

You have standards
-Having standards is not wrong, but make sure that your standards are not too high or too low for reality. Everyone wants a perfect partner, an ideal mate or rather perfection. Unfortunately nobody is perfect, and if you continue to shoot down anyone who doesn't fit your criteria then you may even have trouble finding someone. So maybe you should re evaluate what you're look for in a potential mate.

You're afraid to commit again
-This fear could be because of the thought of losing your freedom if you commit to something that may tie you down for good. It doesn't have to be that way, lay down your compromises in the relationship and stick to it because it will always be give and take situation

You're still healing
-You broke up awhile ago, but you're still hung up on your ex but there's no use crying over spilled milk. Easier said than done, but no one wants to live in the shadow of another. So widen your horizon and start making up for lost time by meeting new people and who knows, you might just find the right one.

It's too late
-Falling in love is one thing, but falling for someone that's already taken is definitely another. Even if the person's in a relationship and ends up leaving their partner for you, what makes you think that he wouldn't do that to you in the future?

You don't put in effort
-The term ask and you will receive doesn't really work here. Waiting for someone without making an effort or making yourself available is just plain ignorant. How exactly would you be able to meet someone without giving yourself opportunities? So stop waiting, take the first step and start socializing because if you don't you will end up waiting for something that won't happen

You're a control freak
-It's your way, or the highway. Everything should go just the way you want them to and you do not compromise with anything and everything. As long as everything goes according to your plan everything its fine but if it doesn't you go berserk because it's out of control. If that's the case, you really have to learn to sit back, relax and let nature take its course sometimes.

You show desperation
-You'd do just about anything for a relationship by going out with anyone or everyone. This screams desperation, and no one likes that. Nobody wants to fill the void you have because of some personal reason so have in mind your wants and needs to help you focus and strengthens the determination to achieve it, which is much appealing as compared to being desperate

You flirt too much
-Flirting is an essential skill to have but excessive flirtation loses its effectiveness making you seem easy so if things move a little too fast, its best you tone it down a little.

You're too busy
-You've spent too much time focusing on getting ahead that you've lost sight of your social life. The truth is, there's no end to the climb of the corporate ladder so why not start making time for the things that matter to you

You are too shy
-The thought of opening up to someone else scares you to death because you're afraid of rejection, you're too self- conscious and you lack confidence to make any approach. It's actually not as bad as it looks because all you need is to take that first step to meet new people and start with simple conversations with them. Once you've gotten over the first phase things will fall into place easily.

You're a slob
-What you see is what you get. First impressions do count because it stays in mind. So make an effort to put on something nice if you're thinking of getting a date. Clothes make the person and what you wear reveals a lot about you so pick and choose!

You fall into the friend zone
-You won't be able to seduce anyone by being their best friend so be careful of the vibe you put out. Once you're in the friend zone, there's no way you're getting out of it. You will be the one to talk to about their relationship problems which doesn't involve you.

You open up too fast
-Excessive honesty will only scare someone away; it may make them feel pressured and responsible for such personal disclosure. Laying out personal stuff on the table before you even know if the relationship is a keeper can guarantee it won't be

You're too easy
-Whatever vibe you send out receives the same vibe, so if you portray an attitude which says that you're used to casual hook-ups then you will get someone with the same thought in mind. If you're looking for something deeper then delay the sex and get to know the person.

What women want

2011-11-25T15:29:00.002+08:00

1. No secrets
Share your secrets with your girl. It shows her that you trust her and you're opening up to her. Whether it's an embarrassing one or your personal wishes, we won't judge you. In fact, we think it's sweet when a guy is brave enough to admit something that only his bestfriends know (or no one at all!).

2. Be her pillar of strength
Most modern women are independent and ambition-driven, but that doesn't mean we're strong 24/7. Be there when she's feeling down, make her believe in herself when her self-confidence hits rock bottom, and she'll do the same to you.

3. Surprise her
You don't need to buy a Louis Vuitton or Prada bag to make your woman happy. Little surprises out of the blue will gain you plus points and a 100-watt smile from her. Flowers are available all year round, not only on her birthday or anniversaries. If you know she loves cute things, get her a small stuffed toy, or if she likes a certain beauty brand, get her a perfume or body care products.

4. Spare time for her
Being young and ambitious, a lot of us just concentrate on work or parties all the time, and we tend to abandon our loved one. Regular meals together will strengthen your relationship - it's a private time for both of you to talk to each other without interruptions. Remember to keep your phone away from the table though, or else you'll be paying more attention to it than to your girl!

5. Respect
A lot of guys still have a 'macho' mentality and think that women are the weaker sex. That's where you're wrong. Don't belittle her ambitions or make fun of her when she makes a mistake. Take her seriously and respect her as an individual.

6. Love her, love her body
Stop nagging about how she should hit the gym and lose weight, stop making fun of her love handles. Comparisons with other 'hot' girls won't improve your relationship or her self-esteem either. You fell inlove with her for who she is, so why the need to change her looks?

7. Cook
Cook for her once in a while. We're not talking about a five-course meal, but simple things like pasta dinner (accompanied by a bottle of good wine), or a simple breakfast in bed on a Sunday morning.

8. PDA
Hold her hand in front of your mates, give her a kiss and don't be shy to hug her in public. Don't go overboard and do it non-stop though, we want sweet gestures, not sexual ones!

9. Tell her she's beautiful
Your other half should be the most beautiful girl in the world to you, and let her know that - often! A lot of guys constantly compliment other girls but not the one who's actually next to them!

10. Share your feelings
If you miss her, let her know. Tell her how you feel about her - the 'I love you's' should be expressed more often than just during your anniversary.

11. Stand up for her
If anyone says anything bad about your girl or makes fun of her, don't be a jerk and just agree or laugh along. You should have her back and stand up for her in such situations

12. Bring her shopping
Again, we don't mean you should max out your credit cards by bringing us to expensive, high-end stores. Monthly or bi-monthly trips to high street stores like Topshop or Forever 21, or even stand-alone clothing boutiques have affordable dresses that we love!

13. Be responsible
Pay the bills on time, don't be late to dinner dates, and help your loved one out in household matters. Guys, it's not okay to make your woman wait hours for you or on you.

14. Chivalry is not dead
Women woud like to believe that chivalry still exists among this generation of men. Be a gentleman and hold the door open for your lady, open your car door for her, or take her hand when crossing the street. This shows that you care for her wellbeing and comfort

15. Attention
Be attentive to your woman's needs and emotions. If she has had a tough day at work, let her rest and don't expect her to still cook dinner for you while you just sit around and watch TV. If she looks unhappy, ask her what's the matter, talk to her, or give her a hug.

16. Hang out with her friends
Make the effort to get to know her friends and be nice to them. Some guys don't think it's important to hang out with his girl's friends, but see it as a way to get to know your girl better (friends can give an insight about her character as well!) and, it's always good to have her friends on your side!

17. Be honest
The truth can hurt, but it's always best to be honest. If you want to hang out with your friends, then tell her instead of doing it behind her back (a lot of guys will give the excuse of being busy with 'work' rather than admit he's with his friends!). Or if something's bothering you, then let your girl know. A relationship can only survive when there's no communication barrier between a couple

18. Keep your promises
Women dislike guys who are 'All Talk, No Action'. If you promised to bring her out on a date, or even small things like calling her, make sure you do it. When you keep on forgetting, you're creating the impression that you're irresponsible and she can't depend on you to keep your word

19. She should be a priority
A girl doesn't want to be an option, she wants to be a priority. A happy relationship exists when two people make each other a priority, equally. This means being considerate, having respect and making her an important aspect of your life.

Why do we miss someone?

2011-11-17T00:46:00.001+08:00

We always wonder that when we miss someone, is it because we love that person, we like that person or maybe it’s just an infatuation? We keep on fighting with ourselves that what’s the reason for missing that person?

But, when you want to continue relationship with the person you keep on missing, you need to be clear with your intention. According to me there might be following reasons:

You love that person.
It might be infatuation ( just for few days ).
You respect her/his qualities.
That person is always with you when you need someone to lean on.

Whatever may be the reason, I would say it’s very nice feeling to miss someone. You keep on thinking about that person whole day and night or if it’s worst you might start imagining him/her near you.

Many people feel that it’s the worst feeling to miss someone, but I totally disagree with this. I feel it’s the sweet pain and you can for sure enjoy missing someone. The only thing you need to remember is that you have to miss the golden moment you spend with each other. Please don’t ever miss bad times you spend with that person. Always try to cherish the good moments and it will surely bring a smile on your face.

Another thing which people do is to hide their feelings in front of person they are missing. You must keep your ego aside and convey your feelings to that person. Life is too short; if you love or you miss someone do let them know. If that person understands you, it would never ruin your relationship.

Love is missing someone whenever you’re apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you’re close in heart. ~Kay Knudsen

Can You Be Happy In Your Relationship When You Don't Feel Loved?

2011-11-17T00:44:00.000+08:00

Whether you can feel happy in a relationship while also not feeling loved probably depends on three things:

1. How much you need to feel loved

2. What kind of love you have in mind.

3. Exactly how unloved you actually feel in the relationship

With regard to the matter of how much you need to feel loved, some people need to feel loved more than others do. Then, too, there are people who may not need to feel loved more than anyone else does but who won't feel loved unless a partner is always doing something to make him/her feel loved.

For the person who doesn't care a whole lot of about who loves him/her and who doesn't need constant reassurance of being loved, being in a relationship that is only friendly and pleasant may be enough. On the other hand, if a person is someone who needs constant reassurance that a partner loves him/her, but has a partner for whom such constant reassurance doesn't come naturally, that person is not likely to be happy not matter how loved he/she actually is.

Then there is the matter of exactly what kind of love you have in mind. There are many kinds of love, and only one involves being "in love" or romantic love. The world is full of people in relationships in which each person cares deeply about, and even treasures, the other - and yet neither could say he/she is "in love" with the other person. We hear all the time that people should marry their best friends, and best friends usually care very much about one another. For the person who is only interested in being "in love" or in romantic love, not having that is likely to eventually lead to feeling that something is missing.

When a partner may care deeply but doesn't feel romantic love, some people simply adjust. Some partners simply pretend. How happy either partner can feel probably depends more on the other good things they share in their relationship, rather than just on the absence of "grand, romantic, love".

The third factor is exactly how unloved you feel in any relationship. There are relationships that aren't quite what someone had wished they would be, but aren't horrible. There will always be husbands who no longer bring flowers or wives who no longer have time to pack a special lunch with a note, and that kind of thing can be the beginning of not feeling quite as loved any longer.

On the other hand, there are partners who become overcome with resentment at the presence of a partner they no longer love, and whom they may blame for having become "so unlovable". When the resentment builds to the point where a partner starts to show contempt (and worse), the kind of "feeling unloved" the other will experience goes beyond not getting flowers once in a while.

If contempt, resentment, and lack of respect grow too overwhelming a partner's behavior can become abusive (or they at least share some behaviors with abusive partners); but the irony is that while abusive (or borderline abusive) behavior can be very damaging to the person who takes the brunt of it, some abuse victims actually feel loved on some level. When cruelty comes more from a resented, empty, relationship; even the partner who doesn't particularly care about feeling loved will begin to lose self-esteem (which, of course, is a cause of severe unhappiness).

Contempt and resentment don't always show up in big, abusive, ways, though. Sometimes they show up in many, many, small ways over the course of a day. It can be difficult for even the toughest of thick-skinned people to remain happy when "attacks" seem to keep coming all through the day, every day, over a long period of time.

I once read that of all the different types of love we, humans, experience, there are two things that must be present if any love is to be considered "genuine" and whole.

One of those things is admiration. When we love someone we look at them, and think of them, with admiration, regardless of anything else that may be showing up at the time.

The other, and possibly most important, ingredient to genuine, whole, love is respect. That doesn't mean respecting someone for being nice but not respecting them as an equal. It doesn't mean respecting them for being pretty or handsome, but not respecting anything else about them. Neither does it mean respecting someone for their intelligence but having little or no respect for other things about them. Respect, on the other hand, is not about scaring someone into not talking freely. When we are seen by someone with genuine and whole respect it is a nurturing thing, and when someone only respects one thing about us, or nothing about us, it is very destructive to a soul.

Respecting someone else means seeing them as an individual, just as we are; and it means seeing them as an individual who is every bit as "equal" and important as we are. Respect doesn't involve looking at someone who has flaws or has failures and assuming they are the result of his inferiority. It is about looking at someone with flaws and failures and believing that - underneath what's on the surface - there is a capable, whole, decent, human being who has experienced challenges that we have not.

Whether or not we can happily live without the admiration of a partner may depend on how much admiration we need from other people; but whether we can be happy with a partner who does not respect us, as human beings, is a question to which the only answer would seem to be "no".

I believe that a lot of people can be happy in a relationship even if they don't feel loved; but I think they need to have most of the other aspects of their life in good shape, as well as having most of the other positive things that can make a relationship feel caring and solid in its own way. It's one thing to feel cared about, liked, or respected - but just not loved.

On the other hand, when "not being loved" really means being truly disliked, or even hated; and when contempt, lack of respect, hostility, and even disgust are demonstrated toward us regularly, then I don't think it's possible to be the least bit happy - except, of course, when the partner is not around.

The Science Behind Heartbreak Pt4

2011-11-17T00:41:00.001+08:00

Can Heartbreak Occur- Literally?

According to studies on heartbreak and how it affects people, most of whom women, a connection can be found between emotional pain and a literal form of heartbreak- heart attack. Depression is documented to affect its host physically and so is the case with heartbreak. The emotional stress is harmful and is said to possibly be cause for what's known as Broken Heart Syndrome, cleverly laid out in the picture below.

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy is a sudden temporary weakening of the myocardium, producing something similar to a heart attack. When the body becomes overwhelmed, primarily due to stress, hormones such as metanephrine and normetanephrine are released in excess with addition to proteins such as neuropeptide Y, brain natriuretic peptide, and serotonin.

"Our hypothesis is that massive amounts of these stress hormones can go right to the heart and produce a stunning of the heart muscle that causes this temporary dysfunction resembling a heart attack," says cardiologist Ilan Wittstein, M.D., an assistant professor at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and its Heart Institute. "It doesn't kill the heart muscle like a typical heart attack, but it renders it helpless."

How to Mend A Broken Heart

The best thing for a broken heart is to be patient and allow time to settle all unresolved feelings. Talking about your feelings with friends or family help to smooth the passage of the loss, as will allowing yourself time to reflect on all feelings and answer questions you may have for yourself. Keeping busy with hobbies you're passionate about and trying new things also keeps your mind busy during hard times. Get a group of friends together and watch a movie, or if you're more to yourself, try a quiet walk through a forest or even around the neighborhood. Give yourself time, and do things that make you happy. You are your own best friend and it's important that you accept who you are and like who you are as a person before you expect anyone else to.

The Science Behind Heartbreak Pt3

2011-11-17T00:40:00.000+08:00

The Stages of Heartbreak:

Someone who is dealing with heartbreak follows patterns similar to those of the stages of death

1.Shock and Denial- you may deny the reality of the situation; this provides emotional protection from feeling overwhelmed by the situation. The shock of loss allows a state of emptiness to move in, clouding most judgment.

2.Pain and Guilt-after the shock wears off it becomes replaced with suffering and unbearable pain. Regret for things you did wrong, or things that you weren’t able to do with this person adds to further tears. Life feels chaotic during this time, and its best to openly discuss feelings and stray from bottling up your emotions

3. Anger and Bargaining- lashing out is a common form of attempting to release all unspoken emotions. This is the stage where the “why why why?!” questioning comes in. The pleas for returned love run rapid, trying to bargain with fate or with the person who was just lost.

4. Depression, Reflection, and Loneliness- like everyone else in this situation, a period of sadness clouds and
absorb your entire sense of being, leaving feelings of emptiness. This feeling occurs when you finally realize and accept the magnitude of your loss. Isolation from people is exceedingly normal, and offers a time to reflect on the past.

5. Acceptance and an Upward Turn- The feelings of depression lift slightly and life becomes possible to survive without that person so deeply intertwined with each activity. The days are a little easier to shuffle through, and you see the possibility of continuation. The reality of the situation is fully accepted and, although happiness may not return for some time, the ability to move forward has occurred.

The Science Behind Heartbreak Pt2

2011-11-17T00:39:00.000+08:00

The Physical Pain

Anyone who's ever gone through the emotional pain of a heartbreak more often than not can express the experience through the form of some type of physical pain. Emotions affect physical health in more ways than many realize, but how does the body physically feel the emotional loss; in other words, what is it that brings pain to the heartbreak?

"Pain is the way the mind responds to trouble inside the body," says Alex Zautra, a professor of psychology at Arizona State University. "Emotion is the same way. Whether you feel love or sadness is also a response to something you feel outside the body. With pain it is a closer-in response, to something inside the body, but it is a response in an attempt to learn about and motivate recovery."

The depression caused by heartbreak creates a barrier that can prevent us from feeling and experiencing life to the fullest, in all aspects. Symptoms vary byindividual and range from withdrawal from society to
physical sickness and pain. You lose a part of yourself when connections are lost, and its not far-fetched to say that you feel completely empty inside. There's an ache, a deep ache that erupts from the inside of our bodies longing for the past. The pain is real and there's no other way to describe how bad it really hurts than to name it heartbreak. Its a longing for the past and the pain of feeling completely empty and abandoned. It makes it hard to get up in the morning and to get through the day, but all wounds are inevitably healed through time, and thus you hope for the future to approach quicker.

When a person feels secluded or feels loss, changes in the brain's blood flow occur. The anterior cingulate cortex (responsible for regulating physical pain distress) becomes more active during these times. This is seen in victims of depression who also register physical pain due to the detection of nociception, which triggers a variety of responses, one which results in the experience of pain. People who are depressed or who are under extreme stress are more at risk to develop heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases based on research that found depression to help in thickening artery walls .

Although most pain of heartbreak is not that severe, it still has a profound effect on daily living. Symptoms of breakup might include loss of appetite, insomnia, headaches, stomachaches, nausea, a ton of tears, occasional nightmares, alcohol/substance abuse, depression, eating disorders, panic attacks, loss of interest, fatigue, loneliness and hopelessness.

The Science Behind Heartbreak Pt1

2011-11-17T00:37:00.000+08:00

Heartbreak is more than just an emotional defeat; to some the pain is very real. At one point or another, everyone must experience this mind numbing feeling (unless you confine yourself to a house and never interact with even a pet) but that's not the norm and you're probably not reading this article if you've had that kind of sheltered life.

Heartbreak can be caused by many different circumstances and that's what makes this emotion easily recognized by nearly every person on the planet. It can result from the loss of a loved one, a partner, a friend and even a close pet. Or it can be caused from disappointment, betrayal or a change from known surroundings. It might not even be a loss at all but a sense of loss, or the realization that the love of the person you care most for is drifting far from where it had always been.

Love, in the same perspective as heartbreak, neither has a corrective definition nor specific amplitude implied by the physical word itself. There's a never-ending limit to the definition of love because there are so many things we love and in many different ways. There's friendship love, love for animals and possessions, love for music or hey, even food. Then there's that kind of love that is so overwhelming perfect, passionate and meaningful, a love that you have never before been able to achieve. This is the love we're going to be talking about throughout this article, but before we can continue on, we must first understand why we as humans are constantly searching to fulfill this emotion.

A part of the desire comes from what we find most joyful in life. If you search for this answer, and look upon previous actions objectively, it's simple to say that we are satisfied by making others happy. We receive complete satisfaction from doing things for others, and this feeling increases with the intensity of love we feel towards that specific person or thing. When you lose someone you love, you have lost the sense of purpose acquired by the relationship between them and yourself. You lose the purpose you felt when doing simple things to make them smile, and making yourself joyful in return. The cycle should continue endlessly, but as we know that could only occur in a perfect world, which this is not. Heartbreak happens, and it changes who we are for the better (in most cases) and so will it be for the rest of our lives and next.

"We of course equate the pain of loss to the intensity of the love, but that is not what is behind the pain. The more you love and feel loved, the greater the increase of your sense of purpose because when you do something for just anyone and they do not appreciate it; your sense of purpose is not completely satisfied. It requires seeing who you are helping, and their appreciation to make it complete." says personal developer, David Samuel.

Continuous searching comes from our need not only to self imply a purpose of being, but also to find the "one" that will make us feel needed, appreciated, and most importantly, well, loved. We act in some silly ways just to be able to have a someone that we can call our own. We act crazy, we do stupid things, and we make regrettable mistakes, but hey, that's just falling in love. We start picturing the rest of days together, share every ounce of pointless information we can recall, and create a bond greater than ever perceived, all before a thought of those three little words comes to mind.

Loneliness Quotes

2011-11-17T00:35:00.000+08:00

No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.

- David Foster Wallace

The most I ever did for you was to outlive you. But that is much.

- Edna St. Vincent Millay

The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness. The remarkable thing is that the cessation of the inner dialogue marks also the end of our concern with the world around us. It is as if we noted the world and think about it only when we have to report it to ourselves.

- Eric Hoffer

With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.

- Eric Hoffer

It is loneliness that makes the loudest noise. This is true of men as of dogs.

- Eric Hoffer

I know the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started.

- Ernest Hemingway, "A Farewell To Arms" ( ? )

"Don't you want to join us?" I was recently asked by an acquaintance when he ran across me alone after midnight in a coffeehouse that was already almost deserted. "No, I don't," I said.

- Franz Kafka

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Theres nothing terribly wrong with feeling lost, so long as that feeling precedes some plan on your part to actually do something about it. Too often a person grows complacent with their disillusionment, perpetually wearing their "discomfort" like a favorite shirt.

- Jhonen Vasquez

Oh, sweet sorrow, the time you borrow, will you be here when i wake up tomorrow?

- Katherine Wolf

Loneliness the clearest of crystal insight into your own soul, its the fear of one's own self that haunts the lonely.

What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.

- Kurt Vonnegut

If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself....If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself, or even less, in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct; and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight

- Leonardo da Vinci

The loneliest it gets is when the wind begins to chill and when I sit atop of your old street, the church top brings a still ness to me, there's nothingI would rather do, than have my heart broken by you.

- Lifetime

Life dies inside a person when there are no others willing to be-friend him. He thus gets filled with emptiness and a non-existent sense of self-worth.

- Mark R. J. Lavoie

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the spaces between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

- Maya Angelou

There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to.

- Michel Eyquem De Montaigne

There is absolutely no point in sitting around and feeling sorry for youself. The great power you have is to let go ... focus on what you have, no that which has been mean or unkindly removed.

- Minnie Driver

When Christ said: "I was hungry and you fed me," he didn't mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness. He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by. Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.

- Mother Teresa

God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through.

- Paul Valery

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.

- Pearl S. Buck

There's a cold wind blowing softly through a narrow, dark ravine. A sound is heard, soft and everywhere, like the rustle of silk.â€ It echoes from every dismal reaching corner of the abyss, and whispers of the aching loneliness within the crevasse.â€ A cold, blue-white light transcends an aura of weird lifelessness to the jagged rocks of the cleft walls.â€ There appears a soul within all of this, like a thin frail mist, congealing within its center -- a tiny translucent gray cloud.

- Ralph Kenyon, 1962

Each person was to himself one alone. One oneness, a unit in a society, but always afraid, always alone. If I should scream, if i should call for help, would anyone hear... would it even matter?

The body is a house of many windows: there we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-by to come and love us.

- Robert Louis Stevenson

Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not. Time takes it all, time bears it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again.

- Stephen King, "The Green Mile" ( ? )

To transform the emptiness of loneliness, to the fullness of aloneness. Ah, that is the secret of life.

12 ways to know he's the one

2011-11-01T19:21:00.001+08:00

OK, he's good looking. He turns you on. He's great to wake up to on cold winter mornings and he's got smiley eyes and a wicked sense of humour.

But is he The One? Here are 12 ways to tell that he just might be.

He's a lookerShallow? You betcha! Let's face it; a keeper is someone you're going to want to look at first thing in the morning and last thing at night...for a very long time. So it's important that, whether it's because of his chiselled jaw line or just his kindly eyes, you find him attractive.Everyone is different, of course, but does your man have large eyes, a high forehead and soft features? Studies have shown that many women like masculine features (low foreheads, wide jaws and strong features) for one-night stands, and more feminine faces for the long haul.
Of course, the only really important question is this: do you fancy the pants off him or not?

He looks like you Some married couples look quite similar, and that might not be a coincidence. A study by psychologists at the University of St Andrews found that the faces we find most attractive are quite like our own. Other studies have shown that married couples often have a correlation in other physical qualities, like neck and wrist circumference and middle finger length. So if you're alike in so many ways, he could be your perfect man

You accept his flawsNobody's perfect. But if you silently rage at his fingernail biting or football obsession and think, 'I must change that', he may not be for you. If you accept his flaws as just another part of the man you love then start planning for your future together.

He makes you laughWe all like someone we can laugh with. And relationship experts confirm that the most successful relationships are those peppered with gentle banter, mickey-taking and joke telling. If he makes you cry laughing, you won't be tempted by the hard-bodied but humourless lothario who serves your coffee. Not now. Not ever.

He's employedOr if he's not employed, he's bright and ambitious. Sorry to come over all practical here, but we can't escape evolution. Women are drawn to men who can provide. You may not want children for ages, or at all. But part of you is still attracted to a man who either has resources, or who looks like he will get them in the future. In the distant past, when desires evolved, it was the man who would literally bring home the bacon and make sure your children survived.

Your friends like himSometimes love - or even lust - can blind us to the truth. But your friends know what you like, value your happiness and can take a view of your boyfriend not influenced by a crashing avalanche of sexy hormones.
And if, in their opinion, he's a good bloke and right for you, it's worth listening to.

You like his friendsBy our mid 20s, we tend to have chosen our friends pretty wisely. They're a bit like us, and they tend to like a lot of the same things. If you like his friends, it means the way he is with you isn't an act. He really is a kind, funny, decent feller - and he has the kind, funny, decent friends to prove it.

You argue wellShow us a couple that doesn't argue and we'll show you, well, a very unusual couple. Arguing doesn't make you incompatible - but arguing badly might. If your arguments are bitter, personal and endless, you probably already know, deep down, that he might not be The One. But if your arguments are more like two people debating an issue on which they disagree, avoiding insults and personal language, you may be good for the long run. A life together invariably involves compromise. If you're both prepared to seek it when things get feisty, you're in with a very good shout.

You trust himIf he tells you he's planning a big night out with the boys and a swarm of butterflies immediately takes off in your stomach, you're in no position to say if he's a keeper or not. Trust is an essential ingredient for long-term love. Wait for it to evolve (if it does) before you start making plans.

He's from the right familyWe don't mean he has to be the heir to a fortune (though that might help). But you want to be with someone who is also in it for the long term. How can you tell if he's going to stick around? Well, if he clearly adores you, that's as good a clue as any. And there is some suggestion that the likelihood of divorce is written in our genes. In twin studies, it was found that men who went through lots of marriages had a brother who was likely to have done the same. That suggests a tendency to stray might be inheritable - so if his parents are together and his siblings are in strong relationships, it's a good chance your bloke doesn't have the divorce gene.

He likes the real youYou've got no make-up on and you're slobbed out on the sofa in an old pair of jogging pants and a T-shirt that probably used to be white. And he still says he fancies you like mad. Now that's a good sign.

Your gut tells you...Do you have a gut feeling that your man might The One? It might be all you need. When researchers at University College London used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to take pictures of lovers' brains, they found the area responsible for gut feelings was particularly active.Gut feelings, or a lover's instinct, are not guesswork. If you have a gut feeling about him, it might simply be the unconscious expression of all your experiences with other men allied to your emotional intelligence. You might not know why this time is different, but you know that it is all the same. If other signals confirm the feeling, it might just be worth letting your woman's intuition take control.

Che'nelle - Baby I love you

Che'Nelle widget by XtraLyrics

Baby I love you, I love you, I love you
I have found the only one, only one that is meant for
me
You're always on my mind, I'll go through whatever
Me and you will ride into eternity

Baby we can go places
Maybe a trip around the world
As you and I look up into the clouds
I keep tellin' myself I gotta tell him how I feel
inside
I guess I la-la but I keep holdin' back
cos I don't wanna scare you away
Yeah, it's just me, so frustrated I wish I'd say it
naturally
My heart is racing, cos boy I want you constantly

Me and you and now chemistry, huh
It's so amazing that I want it more
But I can't help but think that you have someone else
Don't wanna pay my mind attention this way
I try to block it out
all this time with you
I can't believe I have a doubt,
I'm so crazy but you could save me
Baby, please let me know you're in love with me

(Baby I donno why)
I'm telling stories in my head now I can't sleep at
night
(Baby you donno why)
Leavin' me tonight it just don't feel right
But I can't wait til I'll be seeing you here again
Visit http://www.xtralyrics.com
I'm trying to break my insecurities so I can explain
Everything I wanna say that I kept inside

Baby I love you, I love you, I love you
I have found the only one, only one that is meant for
me
You're always on my mind,
I'll go through whatever
Me and you will ride into eternity

Baby I love you, I love you, I love you
I swear you're the only one, only one
Nothing's gonna change
I'm always by your side, this is forever
Like the stars my love will shine next to your heart

What's all around me baby I don't care
Your face is all I see when you're not here
And I'm so surprised though I get carried away
I could lose a day from thinkin' you might not feel the
same
But let me just say, I gotta turn it up
Cos it don't matter, maybe it's time but trust what I
feel
And I just need your love to follow me
Cos now you know that you're my world, my everything,
everything

Now baby when I sleep at night I close my eyes and
smile
And when I'm kissing you I feel my body light up inside
I hope you never ever think about letting me go
If I don't have you baby I would rather be on my own
What we have is so untouchable, unbreakable, and we
will go on and on

Baby I love you, I love you, I love you
I have found the only one, only one that is meant for
me
You're always on my mind,
I'll go through whatever
Me and you will ride into eternity

Baby I love you, I love you, I love you
I swear you're the only one, only one
Nothing's gonna change
I'm always by your side, this is forever
Like the stars my love will shine next to your heart

We will light a fire if we're in the dark
And I'll be a fighter if we're apart
We can't tell what's comin' but I'm not worried
Cos I believe in us in love

Baby I love you, I love you, I love you
I have found the only one, only one that is meant for
me
You're always on my mind, I'll go through whatever
Me and you will ride into eternity

Baby I love you, I love you, I love you
I swear you're the only one, only one
Nothing's gonna change
I'm always by your side, this is forever
Like the stars my love will shine next to your heart

Yeaaayyy........next to you heart........baby i love
you.....
oh yeeeeayyyy only you......

Nadhira - Tear Us Apart Feat Ron E Jones

2011-09-28T21:31:00.000+08:00

From the first time we met each other
I knew that we'd be together
I saw in your eyes
It's just a matter of time

Don't know if this feels like the real thing
Tell me what to do where do I begin
Don't know where to start
Should I let you in my heart

And all it took was one touch, one kiss
I've never felt love like this
I pray I wish we can have this forever

I told you from the very start
It's always gonna be about us
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

I knew that we would make it this far
No nothing's gonna tear us apart
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

Girl you know that now we're together
I won't leave your side forever
You know that i'm yours
Baby, you're my only girl in the world

Now I have no reason to be alone
Fell in love with you
You are now my home
I'll always be true
I see no one else but you

And all it took was one touch, one kiss
I've never felt love like this
I pray I wish we can have this forever

I told you from the very start
It's always gonna be about us
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

I knew that we would make it this far
No nothing's gonna tear us apart
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us apart

Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us apart

And all it took was one touch, one kiss
I've never felt love like this
I pray I wish we can have this forever

I told you from the very start
It's always gonna be about us
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

I knew that we would make it this far
No nothing's gonna tear us apart
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

20 ways to get intimacy back in your relationship

2011-09-27T17:41:00.002+08:00

Moments of shared intimacy not only bring us joy, they can sustain a relationship when times are tough. If you've lost some of the intimacy (whether emotional or physical) in your relationship, here are 20 ways to get it back

Keep asking questions
Couples therapists agree that a failure to communicate is at the root of many relationship problems. If you talk with your partner but the conversation is usually about the kids, money, or the fact the dog was sick that morning, it's time to refocus

Pillow talk
There is something magical about the whispered conversations we have in bed. Lying together under the covers lends itself to intimacy. If you do nothing else, change your routine so that you spend some quality time between the sheets together, even if it's just to talk.

That means banning the TV and the kids from the room and making sure you go to bed at the same time - if only for a few nights of the week. With emotional intimacy re-established, you're likely to find sexual intimacy improves too

Give a compliment
It's easy to criticise and complain but too much negativity will erode even the strongest of relationships. Studies show that it takes seven positive comments to balance out a negative one - so start spreading the love!

Everyone likes to feel noticed and appreciated and an unexpected (but heartfelt) compliment can go a long way. Does he have great arms? Do you love the way she giggles? Focusing on the positive helps build rapport and create a trusting space for intimacy to grow

The power of touch
Good communication isn't just about talking. A hug at the end of a hard day or a reassuring squeeze of the hand can mean so much. If you find you rarely touch your partner, it's worth getting back into the habit.

Make a conscious effort to hold hands when you go out, whether in the street or a restaurant. If sex has been off the agenda for some time, small touches can help re-open the door to physical intimacy.

Remember to kiss
Research shows that couples who kiss every day are more likely to stay together. In some ways, kissing is more intimate than sex (remember Julia Roberts and her no kissing rule in Pretty Woman?).

Relationship therapists report that couples often stop kissing before they stop having sex. If your partner is lucky to get a peck on the cheek, surprise them with a full on smooch next time they walk through the door.

Water sports
Many couples find they lose some of the intimacy they once enjoyed after starting a family. In the post-pregnancy days that can be down to tiredness, adjusting to new roles or feeling less attractive. As the children grow, it can simply be a case of not having any privacy!

If you can't keep the kids out of your bed, consider locking the door and taking a shower together each morning or take a long hot soak in the bath once they're asleep. Good clean fun or the potential to get dirty - it's up to you.

Gentlemanly gestures that win women

2011-09-23T20:35:00.002+08:00

These days men only rarely stand for women on the train or bus, unless the person in question is pushing 100 or very clearly at least eight months pregnant.

This may not be entirely down to a lack of manners, however. Sometimes, with conventions under attack and sex equality in mind, men can lose their nerve and not wish their polite gesture to be misinterpreted (as somehow condescending) or for themselves to appear like foolish dinosaurs.

But actually most traditional courtesies are still just as valid, and most women appreciate it when such selfless gestures are seen to be made

Turn off your phone

Answering your mobile when you are in company is fantastically rude, even though we routinely do it and think nothing of it. On a date it is unforgiveable, however, and by making a point of not doing it you are letting her know she has your full and undivided attention.

She should do the same for you, of course, as there is nothing more distracting than a telephone going off in mid-conversation. Also it puts the other person in a very awkward position, unable to join in and afterwards having absurdly to pretend that she could not hear what you were talking about.

Mind your language

Besides minding your manners when you are out with her, moderate your language too. These days most people swear from time to time, but rather than trying to work out where to draw the line, it is surely easier to ditch the lot.

It is not just that inappropriate language is, er, inappropriate on a date. It shows you respect her too, plus, if you really want her to think you are bright and more than averagely articulate, the best way to demonstrate this is to express yourself in other ways.

Walk closest to the kerb

Accompanying a date, or passing females, on the outside of the pavement provides theoretical protection from traffic. It also dates back in the days when a first-floor overhang gave shelter from chamber pots being emptied out from upper-storey windows into the street below.

The latter is pretty rare now, and the chances are that even if you count yourself fit you could offer little defence against a car mounting the pavement. However, such old-fashioned courtesies show that chivalry is not quite dead yet, and you can at least shield her from puddles.

Introduce her to others

If you happen to meet someone you know along the way, or at the bar or restaurant, it is unforgiveable to leave her hanging around on the periphery while you chat to someone else. Introduce her immediately, by name and as a friend, briefly explaining to her who the third party is.

Apart from avoiding any awkwardness, doing it this way will prevent her feeling isolated or undervalued. She may not be able to join in the conversation, which you should anyway keep short, but positioning your body sensitively will avoid her feeling left out, uncomfortable or momentarily ignored.

Invite her to sit down first

In these less formal times few chaps are happy pulling out a woman's chair before she sits down (assuming the waiter does not do this, of course) but it is still appropriate to wait a second or two for her to be seated before sitting down yourself.

She may not notice the gesture, or do so only subconciously. It is polite and respectful, however, and not overly formal providing you resist the temptation to make a big deal of it by ostentatiously drawing her attention to the fact that you are waiting for her to sit down

Standing up when she walks in

If you arrange to meet somewhere, be sure to get there first and to stand up as she walks in. Traditionally men always did this when a lady walked into a room, and it still plays well today although at parties it can lead to a bit of yo-yoing.

If she stands up and heads for the Ladies', it is no longer necessary to draw attention to this by standing up and pulling back her chair. Rising an inch or two from your seat will demonstrate that you understand good manners, a subtle manoeuvre to be repeated upon her return

Offer your jacket

Dressing stylishly for a date can mean ignoring the practicalities, so she may, for example, leave her coat at home rather than compromise her look. If she appears cold as you leave, or if the weather begins to threaten, offer her your coat or jacket at the first opportunity.

Almost certainly she will refuse, but repeat the offer a few minutes later while not (of course) overdoing it. This means you may get a bit wet, you may even feel the cold; but bear any discomfort silently because her need will definitely be greater than your own.

See her home to her door

Offer to see her home, and however you do it - by car, cab or on foot - see her to her door and do it in such a way as to avoid presuming that you will be invited in. You may well, you may not; the important thing is to see her home safely.

Admittedly this requires some delicacy, particularly if she knows that doing it this way takes you far out of your way. She will appreciate the gesture, however, providing she is left with the impression of 'no strings attached' rather than feeling in someway obliged to invite you in for coffee or more.

Drop her a line to say thank you

Let her know the next day how much you enjoyed the evening, but without pressuring her into an immediate return date. Consider doing something a bit more significant than a text message too - a means of communication which is useful but so effortless as to lack any real meaning.

Drop her a card instead. Not pages and pages of A4, which will make you look a bit mad, but perhaps something to make her smile and with some relevance to the place you went, or a conversation you shared. Putting some thought into it shows how thoughtful you are.

[Nayer]
I know the craving, and I can save it
You've been so patient
And I've been waiting, for you to take it
And you can keep it
Just say you need me, make me believe it

I wanna go-o-o
Can't let you go-o-o
Hey mami, damelo otra vez
Da-da-damelo otra vez

I wanna go-o-o
Can't let you go-o-o
Hey mami, damelo otra vez
Da-da-damelo otra vez

[Chorus]
Suavemente, besame
I'm ready to do whatever
If you take me away

Suavemente, besame
I'll make you do whatever
If I take you away

Suavemente, besame
I'm ready to do whatever
If you take me away

Suavemente, besame
I'll make you do whatever
If I take you away

[Pitbull]
The way you moving (suave)
Makes me say (suave)
Go head baby (suave)
Do it my babe (suave)

The way you moving (suave)
Makes me say (suave)
Go head baby (suave)
Do it my babe (suave)

[Mohombi]
Dame good morning
So I can get it
Let's just be honest, you are the finest
Got you surrounded, baby surrender
Don't make me hunt you, I know you want to
I wanna go-o-o
Can't let you go-o-o
Hey mami, damelo otra vez
Da-da-damelo otra vez

I wanna go-o-o
Can't let you go-o-o
Hey mami, damelo otra vez
Da-da-damelo otra vez

[Chorus]
Suavemente, besame
I'm ready to do whatever
If you take me away

Suavemente, besame
I'll make you do whatever
If I take you away

Suavemente, besame
I'm ready to do whatever
If you take me away

Suavemente, besame
I'll make you do whatever
If I take you away

[Pitbull]
Mohombi, Nayer, Pitbull, FIRE
This is revolution in music and we co-write it
Yeah, just try us
Double domination
And everybody knows that me no liar
Redone, have them sent a one million year
And here's my wire

Armandito, tremenda gente
Tenemos siempre calle elegante y decente
Esta noche vamos hacer el amor
Ya tu sabe bebita suavemente

I want you to lose your mind, lose control
What before, lose it now
Cause I know we doing big
You gotta be ready to lose it up, dale!

[Chorus]
Suavemente, besame
I'm ready to do whatever
If you take me away

Suavemente, besame
I'll make you do whatever
If I take you away

Suavemente, besame
I'm ready to do whatever
If you take me away

Suavemente, besame
I'll make you do whatever
If I take you away

Im Lost :)

2011-09-17T01:51:00.002+08:00

Have you ever felt lost out of sudden? Do you have that fear of being hurt again? Or just a feeling that your not worth more than you are already? Well, we humans all face that but it is a matter of our own to overcome those. I am one of those people actually and it isn't a nice thing cause it can destroy you and ruin you. I am really in a lot of drama of late and it is very tiring and sickening to actually wake up knowing that the drama still lingers around. It has been GOD dont know how many days it has been and it came to a point whereby I don't feel like knowing anymore of the drama. No worries the whole drama is about to end but dont know when yet but I have a decision to make as in " Should I just remain as friends " or " Should I follow my heart"? I mean I dont want to hurt anyone including myself. I mean I too have some issues that I need to settle before committing anything and no way do I wish to drag in my loved ones into the problem that I am facing. I really need time alone as well cause I have had my share of heartache and sadness. The other day I was watching EAT PRAY LOVE and somehow it taught me somethings as well. LOVE happens to be part of balancing of life with/without you achieving 100% balance in life.

Watch my life,
Pass me by,
In the rear view mirror
Pictures frozen in time
Are becoming clearer
I don't wanna waste another day
Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes

Yeah...

[Chorus]
Cause I want you,
And I feel you,
Crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger,
Like a burning,
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken,
And I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be:
But you can have what's left of me

I've been dying inside,
Little by little,
No where to go,
But going out of my mind
In endless circles,
Running from my self until,
You gave me a reason for standing still

[Chorus]

It's falling faster,
Barely breathing,
Give me something,
To believe in
Tell me: It's not all in my head

Take what's left
Of this man
Make me whole
Once again

[Chorus]

I've been dying inside you see
I'm going out of my mind
Out of my mind
I'm just running in circles all the time
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me?
Just running in circles in my mind
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me?

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”

“I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.”

“I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There’s nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.”

“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”

“To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced
life.”

“Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions.”

“In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place.”

“There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts.”

“You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control.”

“You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.”

“In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it's wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices.”

“Prayer is a relationship; half the job is mine. If I want transformation, but can't even be bothered to articulate what, exactly, I'm aiming for, how will it ever occur? Half the benefit of prayer is in the asking itself, in the offering of a clearly posed and well-considered intention. If you don't have this, all your pleas and desires are boneless, floppy, inert; they swirl at your feet in a cold fog and never lift.”

“When you're lost in those woods, it sometimes takes you a while to realize that you are lost. For the longest time, you can convince yourself that you've just wandered off the path, that you'll find your way back to the trailhead any moment now. Then night falls again and again, and you still have no idea where you are, and its time to admit that you have bewildered yourself so far off the path that you dont even know from which direction the sun rises anymore.”

“It's still two human beings trying to get along, so it's going to be complicated. And love is always complicated. But humans must try to love each other, darling. We must get our hearts broken sometimes. This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.”

“To find the balance you want, this is what you must become. You must keep your feet grounded so firmly on the earth that it's like you have 4 legs instead of 2. That way, you can stay in the world. But you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your heart, instead. That way, you will know God.”

“People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner’s faults honestly and say, ‘I can work around that. I can make something out of it.’? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it’s always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.”

Ganesha Mantra

2011-09-11T23:55:00.003+08:00

The Ganesha Mantra:

Om parvati pataye

Hara hara hara mahadev

Gajananam buta

Ganadi sevatam

Kapitha jambu

Phalacharu bhakshanam

Umasutam shoka

Vinasha karakam

Namami vigneshvara

Pada pankajam

Translation:

O elephant-faced God, Ganesha,

you are served by the attendants of Shiva

and you eat forest apples and blackberries.

You are Uma's son, the destroyer of sorrows.

I bow to the lotus feet of the remover of obstacles.

Ganesha is not a symbol. He has symbols, but he is not a symbol.

He is living deity breathing like you. He is as real as you are.

His ears are so that he can take every drop of the Guru’s word, of his fathers word, his father was the original Guru: Shiva. First and foremost only Guru was Shiva; the destroyer of ignorance.

Ganesha’s ears are so huge, so that nothing is lost.

And his trunk… this elephant trunk can move and can uproot trees and pick up a peanut.

It has the ability to uproot trees and be so delicate that it has the sensitivity to pick up one peanut.

Ganesha rides a rat! His vehicle is a rat because he shows the highest wisdom is not rational and does not have to conform to our idea of ‘how things should be’.

It is not irrational, but it is certainly not rational.

It is not illogical, but it is certainly not logical that an elephant so big and so mighty could ride a vehicle of a rat.

There are many reasons for the symbology.

For that symbology alone you can find twenty reasons, thirty, maybe infinite reasons.

Ganesha holds a noose; he holds a noose to draw up his disciples out of the sea of samsara.

And he has a goad, it means: get going, don’t rest here, this is not a place of resting. Carry on! Push! Push yourself past your limits! Push yourself past your ignorance! Push yourself to excel!

And he moves the obstacles, which are illusions, out of your way.

He also holds amrita. He has a little vessel in his trunk, this is the nectar. This is the sweetness, the nectar of the teachings, the nectar of the heart, the nectar of the oneness, the nectar of the Truth. Drop by drop you get it, not poured on you. It is such a little vessel and he keeps it right next to his heart.

This particular Ganesha has also a something like the Vajra in one of his hands.

It is this round shape, which is totally expansive and also contracting, but here it falls into duality; the drop into duality, you understand?

In another hand he holds his tusk. There are many stories of this tusk.

One story is that his father, Shiva, had an axe, wherever he aimed and threw it, it hit the target. He always hits the mark, like the Guru’s word never misses the mark. Hitting the mark is known as Siddha, which means perfection.

You cannot even comprehend how accurate that is: the Guru’s word and this axe of Shiva.

One time Shiva was in battle and he took his axe and he aimed it and the axe went of course and Ganesha ran and put his tusk up, so it could not miss the mark. Never miss the mark! The axe took half of his tusk. It means that which is broken is also perfect.

Ganesha is also the male, protective energy.

His belly is big because he is full. He has it all right in the belly, not at a distance, so close it is.

Everything is present, he needs nothing.

And he has a mans-body, a human body. That must say something, isn’t it? It says that this capacity is in every human being.

So his symbols are powerful and his heart is very sweet, and the beauty of Ganesha is that he is also very comical. He is very comical, he is very funny, very joyous, very much laughing, he dances, he is silly and he is also like a great king: he is royal.

Once I told Ganesha: “No matter what happens in my life, I will never forget you. I will make your name famous all over the world, although it already is.” So I could hardly do anything of that. So I decided to make the foundation ‘Ganesh foundation’. He is my foundation. These symbols are the very foundation of the Mahayana teachings.

Libra Woman

2011-09-10T13:16:00.000+08:00

September 24 TO October 23

Slogan: I Unite, Therefore I am.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS:

Born under the sign of Libra, the sign ruled by Venus the goddess of love; the Libra woman is one who definitely searches for peace, quality, and justice in everything she does. She is generally working to try to balance the oppositional forces that she senses exists all about her.

Although her personal outlook is an unbiased one, she will often find herself involved in conflicting situations that will require her to seek resolutions.

With her natural instinct in knowing what is fair and equitable, the astute Libra woman can often be is very useful and fair in the capacities of a mediator, a judge, or as a good friend if arbitrating differences between others.

In her own life, the Libra girl may find that there is a basic duality as one of her scales is usually leaning towards compromise while the other leans toward her getting her own way.

The Libra woman must take caution and be aware of her tendency to put off, or avoid, that which seems uncomfortable.

The Libra girl can be quite inconsistent and erratic, ignoring personal responsibilities and preferring instead, to create only temporary and somewhat shallow solutions to problems.

The sign of Libra is considerably socially aware; so many Libra women take interest in, and dedicated time to the issues of human rights.

MONEY & FINANCES:

Libra women love luxuries and good living in keeping with the sign of the goddess of beauty. However, in accordance with their sign of the scales and balance, the Libra girl will endeavor to balance her urge for the finer things of life by some appropriate saving and economies.

Irrespective, the scales can tip back and forth, and in this respect the Libra woman can find herself having to periodically tighten her belt as result of earlier bouts of unbalanced spending!

Many Libra women favor investment of their money into partnership ventures. Such ventures will generally work out far better where the partner is not the bed mate. The combination of money and love is not the best for those of the sign of Libra, although there are of course, exceptions.

For those Libra girls who invest in the stock market there will be a natural tendency to settle toward a balanced portfolio of stocks, bonds and investment funds.

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS:

Libra is the sign of partnerships, unions, and marriage and, for those girls born under this sign there is the inherent desire to merge. Libra woman can be very romantically inclined at a very early age in life

The Libra woman can find it very difficult to be alone and, can often prefer to remain within an unsatisfactory relationship rather than to be in no relationship whatsoever.

These girls have the tendency to idealize their lovers and, have the further tendency of preferring to embellish the good aspects in them whilst minimizing the difficult. This can be a very unbalanced outlook and, such an outlook can often lead to disappointment.

Once mature, the Libra woman has an instinctive sense of the fair and just in all their relationship involvements. These girls definitely have a strong inclination toward the long-lasting relationship.

The Libra woman will generally relate well with people of all the signs, however, those of Sagittarius and Leo can be particularly rewarding.

Sagittarius Man - Libra Woman Love Compatibility

2011-09-10T13:14:00.000+08:00

The two individuals in a Sagittarius and Libra sun sign combination are happy-go-lucky people who take life seriously very rarely. Yes, they do shoulder responsibilities like they should and take care of duties that are bestowed on them but when it comes to accepting the ugly side of life, they would rather look elsewhere. A habit that is usually hard to find in others, this quality is perhaps what differentiates them from other members of the zodiac calendar. The Libra woman and the Sagittarius man are both strong, independent individuals who are not afraid to take the bull by its horns.

Put a Sagittarius man and a Libra woman together in a room and chances are that they will not notice their surroundings. They will both communicate deeply with each other and will like the fact that they are alone without the world pounding on them. The Sagittarius man will welcome the quiet while the Libra woman will use it to assess her partner while he tries to get flirty with her. A Sagittarius man can't help but fire up the flirt-o-meter because that comes in-built in his psyche and lights up every time he sees a charming woman.

Constant attention is what the Libra woman dislikes because it comes to her at the cost of a few misdoings, even if they aren't her fault. However, the Sagittarius man seeks the limelight and makes way for the world to come notice him. With a Sagittarius man and a Libra woman both coming to the spot of attention, this relationship can sometimes seem like a battle for the two divas. But the good news is that the Libra woman will be kind enough to let her Sagittarius man hog all the limelight while she waits for him in the back.

Though this relationship will be sparky and fresh, there will be elements of disharmony in there that will agitate the lives of the people involved. They will question their decisions of staying together and will try and get out of the relationship when they can. However, the bond between them is strong and the couple will be able to overcome minor roadblocks quite easily. Their journey to 'couple-dom' will be fairly easy and while they won't have to work hard to come together, they will have to put in some effort to stay together.

The Sagittarius man will be honest and brutal with his words but chances are that the Libra woman will not like this. She will want to be pampered because for her, a relationship needs to have romance in it. However, it may be hard to get the Sagittarius man to do all the love-y dove-y things for his mate because for him, romance ends at a few good words and sex. He is pretty straight forward in life and will remain so despite efforts to change him. He will stay loyal and committed to his partner but only when he feels she is worth it. However, the Libra woman will wear her heart on her sleeve and fall for the firt man who will say a few nice things to her.

Thus, even though there are a few opposites here, the relationship can stand its ground and be awesome for the couple if they make it so!

Wing Chun

2011-09-09T22:12:00.002+08:00

Wing Chun (Chinese: 詠春; pinyin: yǒng chūn; literally "spring chant"), also romanized as Ving Tsun or Wing Tsun, (and sometimes substituted with the characters 永春 "eternal springtime"[(also known as Snake-Crane style); is a concept-based Chinese martial art and form of self-defense utilizing both striking and grappling while specializing in close-range combat.

The alternative characters 永春 "eternal spring" are also associated with some other southern Chinese martial arts, including Jee Shim Weng Chun (Yong Chun) and White Crane Weng Chun (Yong Chun).

The earliest known mentions of Wing Chun date to the period of Leung Jan (1826—1901.

The common legend as told by Ip Man involves the young woman Yim Wing-Chun, (Wing Chun literally means 'forever springtime' or 'praising spring',) at the time after the destruction of the Southern Shaolin Temple and its associated temples by the Qing government:

After Wing-Chun rebuffs the local warlord's marriage offer, he says he'll reconsider his proposal if she can beat him in a martial art match. She soon crosses paths with a Buddhist nun--Ng Mui, who was one of the Shaolin Sect survivors, and asks the nun to teach her boxing. The legend goes that Ng Mui taught Yim Wing-Chun a new system of martial art that had been inspired by Ng Mui's observations of a confrontaton between a Snake and a Crane; this then-still nameless style enabled Yim Wing Chun to beat the warlord in a one-on-one fight. Yim Wing-Chun there-after marries Leung Bac-Chou and teaches him the style, which is later named after her.

Since the system was developed during the Shaolin and Ming resistance to the Qing Dynasty, many legends about the creator of Wing Chun were spread to confuse the enemy, including the story of Yim Wing Chun. This perhaps explains why no one has been able to accurately determine the creator or creators of Wing Chun.

Balance, structure and stanceSome Wing Chun practitioners believe that the person with better body structure will win. A correct Wing Chun stance is like a piece of bamboo, firm but flexible, rooted but yielding. This structure is used to either deflect external forces or redirect them.[citation needed]

Balance is related to structure because a well-balanced body recovers more quickly from stalled attacks and structure is maintained. Wing Chun trains the awareness of one's own body movement derived from muscular, tendon, and articular sources. Performing Wing Chun's forms such as Chum Kiu or the Wooden Dummy form greatly improve proprioception. Wing Chun favours a high, narrow stance with the elbows kept close to the body. Within the stance, arms are positioned across the vitals of the centerline. Shifting or turning within a stance is carried out variantly on the heels, balls, or middle (K1 or Kidney 1 point) of the foot depending on lineage. All attacks and counter-attacks are initiated from this firm, stable base. Wing Chun rarely compromises structure for more powerful attacks because this is believed to create defensive openings which may be exploited.

Structure is viewed as important, not only for reasons of defense, but also for attack. When the practitioner is effectively "rooted", or aligned so as to be braced against the ground, the force of the hit is believed to be far more devastating. Additionally, the practice of "settling" one's opponent to brace them more effectively against the ground aids in delivering as much force as possible to them.

RelaxationSoftness (via relaxation) and performing techniques in a relaxed manner, is fundamental to Wing Chun.

Tension reduces punching speed and power. Muscles act in pairs in opposition to each other (e.g. biceps and triceps). If the arm is tensed, maximum punching speed cannot be achieved as the biceps will be opposing the extension of the arm. In Wing Chun, the arm should be relaxed before beginning the punching motion.
Unnecessary muscle tension wastes energy and causes fatigue.

Tense, stiff arms are less fluid and sensitive during trapping and chi sao.
A tense, stiff limb provides an easy handle for an opponent to push or pull with, whereas a relaxed limb provides an opponent less to work with.

A relaxed, but focused, limb affords the ability to feel "holes" or weaknesses in the opponent's structure (see Sensitivity section). With the correct forwarding these "holes" grant a path into attacking the opponent.

Muscular struggle reduces a fight to who is stronger. Minimum brute strength in all movement becomes an equalizer in uneven strength confrontations. This is very much in the spirit of the tale of Ng Mui

CenterlineWhile the existence of a "central axis" concept is unified in Wing Chun, the interpretation of the centerline concept itself is not. Many variations exist, with some lineages defining anywhere from a single "centerline" to multiple lines of interaction and definition. The most commonly seen interpretation emphasizes attack and defense along an imaginary horizontal line drawn from the center of the practitioner's chest to the center of the enemy's chest. The human body's prime striking targets are considered to be on or near this line, including eyes, nose, throat, solar plexus and groin.

Wing Chun techniques are generally "closed", with the limbs drawn in to protect the central area and also to maintain balance. In most circumstances, the hands do not move beyond the vertical circle that is described by swinging the arms in front, with the hands crossed at the wrists. To reach outside this area, footwork is used. A large emphasis and time investment in training Chi Sao exercise emphasises positioning to dominate this centerline. The stance and guard all point at or through the center to concentrate physical and mental intent of the entire body to the one target.

Wing Chun practitioners attack within this central area to transmit force more effectively, since it targets the "core center" (or "mother line", another center defined in some lineages and referring to the vertical axis of the human body where the center of gravity lies). For example, striking an opponent's shoulder will twist the body, dispelling some of the force and weakening the strike, as well as compromising the striker's position. Striking closer to the center transmits more force directly into the body.

Punches Because of the emphasis on the center line, the vertical fist straight punch is the most common strike in Wing Chun. However, the principle of simultaneous attack and defense (Lin Sil Die Dar) suggests that all movements in the Siu Nim Tau with a forward execution flow into a strike if no effective resistance is met, without need for recomposure. Other explicit examples of punches can be found in the Chum Kiu and Bil Jee forms, although these punches may appear to be superficially different they are simply the result of the punch beginning from a different origin position while following the same fundamental idea, to punch in a straight line following the shortest distance between the fist and the opponent.

The vertical punch is the most basic and fundamental in Wing Chun and is usually thrown with the elbow down and in front of the body. Depending on the lineage, the fist is held anywhere from vertical to horizontal (palm side up). The contact points also vary from the top two knuckles, to the middle two knuckles, to the bottom three knuckles. In some lineages of Wing Chun, the fist is swivelled at the wrist on point of impact so that the bottom three knuckles are thrust forward adding power to the punch while it is at maximum extension.

The punches may be thrown in quick succession in a "straight blast" or "chain punching". When executed correctly, it can be used as a disorienting finisher.

Wing Chun is often criticized for encouraging weaker punches that do not utilize the whole body.However, as per the formal name of the punch (which is translated as "The Sun-character Rushing Punch (or Hammer in Cantonese)")[citation needed], a practitioner typically would thrust his full body weight towards his opponent, with the fist as the "nail", and his body as the "hammer". With each successive punch, the practitioner would step in closer and closer to the opponent, driving the fists forward as a hammer drives a nail.

Wing Chun punches are delivered using Fa Jing, a short burst of energy in which the arm is momentarily tensed at the conclusion of the strike. This concept is similar to impact loading in engineering.

Wing Chun favours the vertical punch for several reasons:

Directness. The punch is not "loaded" by pulling the elbow behind the body. The punch travels straight towards the target from the guard position (hands are held in front of the chest).

Protection. The elbow is kept low to cover the front midsection of the body. It is more difficult for an opponent to execute an elbow lock/break when the elbow occupies this position. This aids in generating power by use of the entire body structure rather than only the arm to strike. Also with the elbow down, it offers less opening for the body to be attacked while the forearm and punch intercept space towards the head and upper body.

Strength and Impact. Wing Chun practitioners believe that because the elbow is behind the fist during the strike, it is thereby supported by the strength of the entire body rather than just a swinging fist, and therefore has more impact. A common analogy is a baseball bat being swung at someone's head (a round-house punch), as opposed to the butt end of the bat being thrust forward into the opponent's face (wing chun punch), which would cause far more damage than a glancing hit and is not as easy to evade. Many skilled practitioners pride themselves on being able to generate "short power" or large amount of power in a short space. A common demonstration of this is the "one-inch punch", a punch that starts only an inch away from the target yet delivers an explosive amount of force.

Alignment & Structure. Because of Wing Chun's usage of stance, the vertical punch is thus more suitable. The limb directly in front of the chest, elbow down, vertical nature of the punch allows a practitioner to absorb the rebound of the punch by directing it through the elbows and into the stance. This is a desirable trait to a Wing Chun practitioner because it promotes use of the entire body structure to generate power. Whereas, the rebound of a horizontal punch uses only the arm to strike. In this elbow-out position the hinge-structure directs force outwards along the limb producing torque in the puncher's body.

Kicks. Kicks can be explicitly found in the Chum Kiu and Mook Jong forms, though some have made interpretations of small leg movements in the Siu Nim Tau and Bil Jee to contain information on kicking as well. Depending on lineage, a beginner is often introduced to basic kicking before learning the appropriate form. Traditionally, kicks are kept below the waist. This is characteristic of southern Chinese martial arts, in contrast to northern systems which utilise many high kicks.

Variations on a front kick are performed striking with the heel. The body may be square and the knee and foot are vertical on contact (Chum Kiu), or a pivot may be involved with the foot and knee on a plane at an angle (Mook Jong). At short distances this can become a knee. A roundhouse kick is performed striking with the shin in a similar manner to the Muay Thai version with most of the power coming from the body pivot. This kick is usually used as a finisher at closer range, targeting anywhere between the ribs and the back of the knee, this kick can also become a knee at close range. Other kicks include a stamping kick (Mook Jong) for very close range and a sweep performed with the heel in a circular fashion.

Every kick is both an attack and defence, with legs being used to check incoming kicks or to take the initiative in striking through before a more circular kick can land. Kicks are delivered in one movement directly from the stance without chambering/cocking.

Uncommitted techniques. Wing Chun techniques are uncommitted. This means that if the technique fails to connect, the practitioner's position or balance is less affected. If the attack fails, the practitioner is able to "flow" easily into a follow-up attack. All Wing Chun techniques permit this. Any punches or kicks can be strung together to form a "chain" of attacks. According to Wing Chun theory, these attacks, in contrast to one big attack, break down the opponent gradually causing internal damage. Chained vertical punches are a common Wing Chun identifier.

Trapping skills and sensitivity. The Wing Chun practitioner develops reflexes within the searching of unsecured defenses through use of sensitivity. Training through Chi Sao with a training partner, one practices the trapping of hands. When an opponent is "trapped", he or she becomes immobile.

Chinese philosophy:

"Greet what arrives, escort what leaves and rush upon loss of contact"- Yip Man[attribution needed]

Close range. Wing Chun teaches practitioners to advance quickly and strike at close range. While the Wing Chun forward kick can be considered a long range technique, many Wing Chun practitioners practice "entry techniques"—getting past an opponent's kicks and punches to bring him within range of Wing Chun's close range repertoire. This means that theoretically, if the correct techniques are applied, a shorter person with a shorter range can defeat a larger person by getting inside his range and attacking him close to his body.

First date? Watch out for these things

2011-09-03T01:03:00.002+08:00

You want to be able to enjoy yourself on a first date and get to know the person you are with. There are some things that you need to be alert to throughout the date that will indicate whether this person is the right person for you, and whether there will be following dates. Here are some positives and negatives you should watch out for when on a date.

Were they on time? There is nothing more infuriating than someone who has no concept of time management. It isn't hard; if you know there is going to be traffic, leave earlier. If you have an important date and want to give a good impression, leave earlier to ensure this. It screams 'unreliable' and doesn't get the date off to a good start.

Good manners shouldn't be hard to come by and therefore your date should have some form of etiquette and at least try to be considerate. Simple things like holding a door open, not drinking too much and getting drunk or avoiding moaning about things are all small things that amount to good manners.

Good conversation is key to a good date. If you are both able to relax, get on well and have a stimulating conversation then it's a good sign. If you really have to work hard at a conversation or to get someone to engage with you, then think again. While some people are shy, it needs to be a two way thing. Similarly, are they listening when you talk?

While eating habits aren't the be all and end all, you don't really want to be sitting with someone who inhales their food as though they haven't seen a meal in weeks. The same goes with someone who has the eating habits of a four year old, as they should be making more of an effort

Having an attentive date is definitely something you want. If you're stuck with someone who is constantly checking their phone or doesn't really seem too bothered whether they are with you or not, then it's a big red flag. Someone like this will make you feel that you are wasting your time, when actually it is the other way around.

Try to gauge whether they are being themselves or not. There is no point in them pretending to be someone that they are not, and the same goes to you, as the whole point of a date is to get to know someone so look out for exaggerating and lying, although this can be tricky.

Notice whether they made an effort with their clothes, their conversation and ensuring you had a good time. Someone that makes an effort shows that they care and want you to have a good impression of them. The last thing you want is to be on a date with someone who doesn't care about whether you are having a good time or whether they are on the date or not.

If he insinuates that he is expecting more than just dinner or drinks, it's another red flag, not matter how well you got on or like him. You need to take your time to get to know each other and have things in common before rushing into anything. There needs to be something more there than just physical attraction and chemistry if you want a meaningful and lasting relationship.

If the date really hasn't gone well and there wasn't much between the two of you, yet he still leans in for a kiss, just thank him for the evening and leave. Someone like this clearly isn't perceptive to whether you were enjoying yourself and whether there was any spark between the two of you and is just insensitive. A light kiss on the cheek is fine, but anything more isn't.

The effects and benefits of love

2011-09-03T00:31:00.002+08:00

There have been all sorts of studies that have looked at and delved into the effects of love on people, the emotional impact it has on them and the changes that this can make to the body and the brain. For some love can be all consuming, for others it can be life changing, some become a little crazy, while others are starry eyed. We take a look at the positive effects that love has on us.

Falling in love can affect the brain in many ways. Firstly, researchers from Syracuse University found that when a person falls in love the blood levels of nerve growth factor is increased and that the brain releases feel good hormones to the body. The nerve growth factor helps to protect the brain from degeneration.

Chuck away those expensive beauty creams ladies as being in love has also been found to slow the aging process. Studies found that our DHEA levels increase when we are in love and these are the anti-aging hormones. The release of hormones and endorphins also help to improve the appearance of the skin thanks to increased blood flow taking essential food and nutrients to the skin.

If you have tend to be slightly on the neurotic side at times, then having sex with your partner has been found to make you feel better about yourself, your life and your marriage. "Frequent sex is one way that some neurotic people are able to maintain satisfying relationships," the study authors say reported AFP Relaxed news.

Stress has been found to do terrible things to the brain, such as increase the risk of age related deterioration, the onset of dementia and can even cause the brain to shrink. However, it has also been found that those who hold their partner's hand before a stressful situation release less levels of the stress hormone, cortisol.

Pucker up and give your love a kiss, as kissing will power up and activate most of the nerves that are in the brain which affect function. Kissing triggers stimulates loads of sensory information which is all sent to the brain and encourages the millions of neurons which we have to make new connections which helps to transmit information better and boosts the brain.

Make sure that you hug each often too, as a study found that when a couple embraces each other, their blood pressure reduces which is extremely beneficial to the heart. It also found that hugging increases the levels of oxytocin, the bonding hormone, which over a period of time can greatly reduce blood pressure.

Lastly, being in love as a couple can reduce your risk of death because as human beings, love, relationships and being social are essential to our overall good health. Those in love are less likely to suffer and die from a stress related disease. Therefore being is love is good for our health.

How to heal your heart

2011-08-25T16:51:00.001+08:00

Becoming single after being in a long term relationship can be daunting, especially the prospect of dating again. However, there are some important steps you need to take to make sure you're ready for another relationship. You need to make sure you heal the emotional wounds from the break up. Here are some tips to mend that heart.

If you have come out of a long-term relationship, the thought of dating again can be a daunting. You need to make sure that you look over the past relationship, work out what you can learn from it and do some soul-searching. Use what you learn to fall in love again. Follow these five steps to heal that broken heart

You need to scrutinize and look over the past relationship and really work out what went wrong. Try to learn from it and grow by acknowledging the mistakes you may have made. By doing this you are taking the first step in moving on.

It's important to remember that no matter how the relationships ends, both of you had your part to play. Therefore be responsible for how you may have contributed to its demise, even if you didn't end it, or they cheated. There is no point pointing the finger at one another as this will only lead to resentment which you will carry with you

Once you have worked out how you were responsible and accepted the reasons, you need to let go. The only way you can move on and fall in love again is to let go of any emotional attachment and negative feelings you have towards your ex.

Concentrate on what you have and your positive traits. If you think there is a part of you which needs 'work' then take the time to develop these so that you become the best 'date-able' version of yourself. It will also help to boost your confidence, making you more attractive.

Realise that no matter what happened, you are deserving of a relationship, just like everyone else. Once you have healed the wounds of a past relationship and dealt with the emotions, you will be able to move on without the emotional baggage

7 ways to know a guy likes you

2011-08-25T15:58:00.002+08:00

Without directly asking someone, it can be hard and sometimes impossible to know if he is interested in you. It's not always easy to read people as we are pretty complex, but there are some signs that point towards someone being interested in you.

One of the main tools to know if someone is interested is by working out their body language. Someone who makes themselves approachable, is very tactile with you and makes his body posture look tough is usually trying to get your attention. In contrast, someone who doesn't want attention will usually be quite tense.

A form of non-verbal communication is eye contact, and it is a very powerful tool when it comes to flirting and can indicate attraction. If someone avoids your eye contact, it's not a great sign, but if all their attention is on you and their eyes keep catching yours, it's a subtle and subconscious message that they're interested

Someone who talks a lot and rambles when they see you is usually because they are trying to make a connection with you, but aren't sure how to go about doing so. It can be particularly unnerving or intimidating going to speak to someone they like and making conversation. However, there efforts demonstrate they are trying to make a bond and impression.

Some people aren't sure how to act when they are around those who they 'like' and can come across as having a nervous manner when in fact, they are just anxious about making an impact on someone.

If you find you've been bumping into the same person, it's because they are trying to find any reason under the sun to be around you so they get the chance to flirt. They'll make an effort to be at the same places and to find out where you're headed to. It may sound a little 'stalker-ish' but they are merely trying to get you to notice them.

Is there someone who always sticks up for you and is always taking extra care to look out for your wellbeing? They notice things that others won't and take extra interest in your likes and dislikes. They may even change their appearance to impress and so that you'll notice.

Some hints are subtle, while some can be full out flirting. Pay close attention to people's behaviour and signals that they give off and go on your instincts

Mohombi Feat. Nicole Scherzinger – Coconut Tree Lyrics

2011-08-25T15:30:00.001+08:00

I’ll always remember
our summer in Hawaii
Aloha mi amore

Under the coconut tree we stay
Falling _ into me like a wave
You bring the fool out my groove
Baby, use your tubes
Make me wanna change my ways

Under the coconut tree,
you be chilling with me
Making love to you in a bedford room
made of sand and sea

No place I’d rather be
no one else I wanna please
No one but you boo I got you
you got the best of me

Heey-ey-ey!
Usually I’ll be gone before
the morning lights

Ooh-oh-oh!
But you best keep telling me
that’s not the case tonight

You gon’ make me stay
You gon’ make me stay
You gon’ make me stay forever
You gon’ make me stay
2x

Under the coconut tree we stay
watch as the night turns into day

We let the fire be the light
Sky is the floor tonight
Fly me with your gentlest way

Under the coconut tree,
you be chilling with me
Making love to you in a bedford room
Made of sand and sea

No place I’d rather be
No one else I wanna please
No one but you boo I got you
You got the best of me

Heey-ey-ey!
Usually I’ll be gone before
the morning lights

Ooh-oh-oh!
But you best keep telling me
That’s not the case tonight

You gon’ make me stay
You gon’ make me stay
You gon’ make me stay forever
You gon’ make me stay
2x

Sing it to me baby, that melody
I hear the drums you gon’ make me stay
You gon’ lep it play
Baby, turn it up, up
You sound just like love
You gon’ make me stay
Baby, turn it up, up
You sound just like love
Just like love

Heey-ey-ey!
Usually I’ll be gone before
the morning lights

Ooh-oh-oh!
But you best keep telling me
That’s not the case tonight

You gon’ make me stay
You gon’ make me stay
You gon’ make me stay forever
You gon’ make me stay
2x

Heey-ey-ey!
Usually I’ll be gone before
the morning lights

Ooh-oh-oh!
But you best keep telling me
That’s not the case tonight

You gon’ make me stay
You gon’ make me stay
You gon’ make me stay forever
You gon’ make me stay
2x

I’ll always remember
our summer in Hawaii
Aloha mi amor

Hillsong - "God Is Able" Lyrics

2011-08-19T22:58:00.001+08:00

[Verse 1]
God is able
He will never fail
He is almighty God
Greater than all we seek
Greater than all we ask
He has done great things

[Chorus]
Lifted up
He defeated the grave
Raised to life
Our God is able
In His name
We overcome
For the Lord
Our God is able

[Verse 2]
God is with us
God is on our side
He will make a way
Far above all we know
Far above all we hope
He has done great things

[Chorus]
Lifted up
He defeated the grave
Raised to life
Our God is able
In His name
We overcome
For the Lord
Our God is able

[Bridge]
God is with us
He will go before
He will never leave us
He will never leave us
God is for us
He has open arms
He will never fail us
He will never fail us

[Chorus (x2)]
Lifted up
He defeated the grave
Raised to life
Our God is able
In His name
We overcome
For the Lord
Our God is able

For the Lord
Our God is able
For the Lord
Our God is able

THANK YOU HENRY , AILYNN and REYNOLDS for the PRAYER that I totally needed to release my emotional burden a bit.

I just broke into tears cause of the pressure and the pain and sufferings I am going through.

Todays topic the were sharing was on BFF Friendship and to my surprise it wasn't the topic I was willing to hear due to what is currently happening. C'mon you ditch a friendship which is for 10years over some guy whom you know for 2 months now. Where's your brain women? Like seriously wake up and think how the hell you knew him in the first place.

I had to cry again cause every single thing spoken about BFF literally traced me back to what has happened and thank goodness I was with my friends who stood by me when I cried.

Thank you SAMUEL for doing a prayer for me. It was really thoughtful of you to do so.

Today we went for Badminton done by our group of students. We met up in the sports centre besides Mydin shop for a game of badminton at 10am-12pm. It was fun playing badminton again after the last time I had a game of badminton was primary school time. After that about 12pm we all were done playing badminton then all of planned to head up to Sunway Pyramid while some just went home to rest. At pyramid, we had tonnes of laughters from Asian Avenue to Ice Rink which happens to be under construstion then Bowling which happens to be RM 8 per game and RM 2.50 shoes. We then went to McDonald to have our lunch. I had my milkshake yummy yummy :) . We started giggling and making jokes and probably we were the loudest there. Time did fly by very fast before we knew it ; it was already 5something and we had to go as we had to go home. It sure was an exciting day full of laughter and happiness :)

Selena - I could fall in love

2011-08-15T22:51:00.001+08:00

I could lose my heart tonight
If you don't turn and walk away
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
'Cause I could take you in my arms
And never let go

I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you

I could only wonder how
Touching you would make me feel
But if I take that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still?
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know

I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you

And I know it's not right
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
But I could fall in love
Fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you

Siempre estoy soñada en ti
Besandos mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazadome con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amos
Cómo yo podia amar a ti

So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know

I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love
I could fall in love
with you...

Celine Dion - That's The Way It Is

2011-08-15T22:41:00.000+08:00

I can read your
mind
And I know your story
I see what you're going through (yeah)
It's an uphill climb
And I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you
Don't surrender
'Cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most
There's no easy way out
When you're ready to go
And your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you question me
For a simple answer
I don't know what to say (no)
But it's plain to see
If you stick together
You're gonna find the way
So don't surrender
'Cause you can win
In this thing called love

Chorus

When life is empty
With no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby don't worry
Forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all.

Camp Rock 2 "Wouldn't Change A Thing" lyrics

2011-08-13T17:07:00.001+08:00

[Demi (Joe):]
It's like, he doesn't hear a word I say
His mind is somewhere far away
And I don't know how to get there
It's like all he wants is to chill out
(She's serious)
He makes me wanna pull all my hair out
(She's always in a rush and interrupted)
Like he doesn't even care
(Like she doesn't even care)

[Demi + Joe:]
You, me
We're face to face
But we don't see eye to eye

Like fire and rain (Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane (You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
You're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing

[Joe:]
She's always trying to save the day
Just wanna let my music play
She's all or nothing
But my feeling's never change

[Demi (Joe:)]
Why does he try to read my mind?
(I try to read her mind)
It's not good to psychoanalyze
(She tries to pick a fight to get attention)
That's what all of my friends say
(That's what all of my friends say)

[Demi + Joe:]
You, me
We're face to face
But we don't see eye to eye

Like fire and rain (Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane (You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
but you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing

[J:] When I'm yes, she's no
[D:] When I hold on, he just lets go
[J + D:] We're perfectly imperfect
But I wouldn't change a thing, no

Like fire and rain (Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane (You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
but you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing

But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
but you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a
Wouldn't change a thing
