from my desk to your interest

Spending time with the person you like or love does not have to be always expensive. It also does not have to be done outside. A fancy restaurant has always been associated with steady couples, dating lovebirds and even pairs who are yet to become an item. Cinemas also attract many couples and are considered a perfect place to cuddle and just be near each other.

But if you are also looking for a quality and funny movie, then assembling a selection of romantic comedy flicks from time to time is not such a bad idea after all. Even guys will surely enjoy it, what with the fact that it is one of those chances they get to sit right next to their ladies.

Don't pretend to be so macho now and say that you don't dig watching romantic comedy films. Check the following items and see how a movie date can change your mind forever.

If you love humor so much, then, There's Something About Mary has to top your list. This 1998 romantic comedy film which stars Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz will hit the center part of your and your date's funny bone as the dating disguise tactics and suitors of Mary offered something for audience to laugh about through the years even up to now.

That's Life

2009-01-04T00:03:00.001+08:00

Did I say "comeback" the last time? I guess, it was only true for that moment. I went into a deep hiatus once again. God knows what tribulation I've been through on that facet of my life. But I don't want to dwell on it anymore. There is so much more to live for and to keep going.

Now, I return with a fresh sense of commitment to love and enjoy life, as well as all the things that surround me… be it good or bad. Like how the Germans would say it, "So ist das leben!"

And thus, I move forward.

Dating Is Such A Cruel Word

It would've been nicer if there were posts following the last one for Valentine's Day. But, there's this video that has so much moral lessons and reality in it which makes it worth posting - here...that is, after a long absence. It actually works as a great comeback for this blog.

Valentines Isn't For Everyone

2008-02-16T02:12:00.001+08:00

You may not know it, but the recently celebrated Valentine's Day may have been a cause of depression and further resentment of the word LOVE. It's not for all and is definitely not for individuals who have experienced break-ups. Yes, the word break up with s because one heartache isn't so much as experiencing it all over again.

But why do breakups and heartaches happen? If you ask me, it's completely normal for things like this to exist in an ongoing relationship and one that is about to end. Sad, but it is true, each of us has to go through this stage to move on with life and discover that it is actually essential to be hurt and learn important lessons.

You can still do something to counter-react these sorts of things though. It could either be the wrong choice of person to date (and love) or, you are behaving in such a way which your partner does not approve.

Always try to assess a relationship you are in and if possible, assess it with your partner. Lies, cheats, insults and actions that are too domineering immediately means that you are dating the wrong person. Do not only look in to how your partner's trait are affecting you but assess your own personality too.

To Death We Shan't Part

2008-02-13T02:02:00.000+08:00

Here's an interesting photo..

It's amazing how the bones of these Italian lovers were found intact after so many years, still hugging one another. A picture like this makes life and love worth giving a shot no matter how indifferently you think both are going so far.

So, yeah, go ahead and ask her out. It's worth a try.
Say "hello" to him and ask how he's been...it could be just what he needs.

Don't be afraid to let someone know how you feel even when you are at the face of rejection. Nothing is even more defeating than walking away, not saying a word.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Moods of A Man and Woman

2008-02-12T00:15:00.000+08:00

Moods of A Woman:

An angel of truth and a dream of fiction.
She's afraid of a wasp, will scream at a mouse;
But will tackle a stranger alone inside the house.
Sour as a vinegar, sweet as a rose;
She'll kiss you one minute then turn up her nose.
She'll win you in rage, enchant you in silk;
She'll be stronger than brandy, milder than milk.
At times she'll be vengeful, merry and sad;
And she'll hate you like poison but love you like mad.

Moods of A Man:
...hungry
...sleepy
...horny

You be the judge. (,")

Simple Romantic Date Ideas

2008-02-09T01:08:00.000+08:00

Okay, you might think you don't need to be romantic especially when you have been in a relationship long enough. But for couples and even for individuals who have just entered the dating and courting yard, being romantic pays off in the end and wows the special woman in your life.

Try to pull some strings in letting your special someone indulge in a romantic treat.

Getaway.

You might think that it can be a little too much for you to be romantic on a getaway trip. But guess what brother, a dinner for two in a paradise island can be all that it takes for her to realize that you are dead serious about her. Remember, it's also the time when you can have a decent excuse to ignore calls or mobile messages.

When you get the chance, plan ahead with her and to spice it up even more, present to her a surprise gift when you get to the place.

Art Pieces.

There are so many potential art pieces that were made by renowned artists that hold that tinge of elusive romanticism in them. Even during the stage of courtship, you can show how romantic you really can be by simply giving her a piece of this historical art.

No, you don't need to give her the original artwork itself, that would cost millions! All you need to do is to get creative. Perhaps a card of Frank Dicksee's Romeo and Juliet will do the trick. Put your thoughts and feelings about her inside the card to personalize it.

Cruise.

You don't need to be in a cruise ship just to pull this through. If you don't want to drive but still want to spend time with her while in a moving vehicle, you can arrange to reserve a limo and pick her up from her place. Cruise around the metro or the nearby town with champagne. This is also a perfect time to get to know her more. Just let the moment take you, don't force it.

Wrap it up.

Just before the day ends, you can take her to her favorite bar or restaurant or a choice of your own where the food and environment is excellent. End the night with a dance, a walk home or a sweet kiss.

Whatever you do, be as natural as you can be. You are the mastermind behind this brilliant plan and so make sure that you don't blow it off by forcing what you have to say or do. A romantic date is more than enough to please your woman, work from there.

To Kiss or Not to Kiss?

2008-01-30T01:38:00.000+08:00

Despite the sources, tips and advices from self-proclaimed individuals, the dilemma on first date kissing still affects everyone up to this day. It always is a wonder how people can turn red as tomatoes when this particular jittery feeling comes up after a great date comes to and end.

But, should you really kiss on your first date?

Here are some gathered thoughts and ideas about this mind-boggling and heart-pounding question.

Clue yourself in. You don't really need any sort of oracle or signs from heaven just to accomplish your kissing goal. You just have to pay attention to what the signals your date are putting on. Ever seen her eyes twinkle and shy away after you look towards her? What about her smile? Body language is the key element here.

Feel right. Even when you think that your date is more than ready to welcome you to ravish her; it's most important to ask yourself whether you are doing this kiss because you'd love to feel how her lips touches yours than just by having a shallow reason. Your date will even like you more if you treat her extra special and in this case; your reason for kissing her is not an exemption.

Right place at the right time. This aspect can make or break your kissing operandi. Take note of how to make your date feel special so by all means, do just that. If you want to move in for the kill, make sure that it's somewhere romantic and where there is nobody else but you and her to savor the moment. No, you just can't kiss her in the middle of anywhere-you-feel-like-doing-so because it will only make her feel like she's just like any other girls when she's really not.

When you have figured out all these points, you're on your own. Don't worry, you'll do just fine.

Goodbye to Scars

2008-01-24T17:27:00.000+08:00

Whoever said that today’s time is just getting worse to worst? If you try to think about it, there are many revolutionary discoveries that had been made in the modern times. This includes the latest discovery by UK scientists about healing scars fast.

If you think that gel is only good for styling hair, think again. The gel that was said to speed up a wound to heal and lessen scarring suppresses a key gene, boosts blood supply and somehow, develops a new way in generating a new layer of tissue. What’s great about this is that it does not only heal scarred tissues on the outside but also internal organ tissue damages caused by surgery or illness.

So, what is this “key gene” you ask? It’s called osteopontin which doubles up the speed flow of blood to the blood vessels around the affected area and the tissue regeneration. There is also less scaring due to the minimal displacement of the new tissue.

When is this going to be available then? That is what we all have to wait for because we’ll have to leave the pharmaceuticals to do their job to develop this gel and distribute it.

The Beautiful, Mystical Full Moon

2008-01-19T13:17:00.000+08:00

As far as I can remember, full moons always have fascinated the interests of young ones and the young at heart. There is no definite explanation though if what my grandparents used to share about aswangs, kapres, mananaggals and tikabalangs are true. But full moon is always the best time to gather around with siblings, cousins and friends while the elders talk about the enchanted world that we live in.

By the way, the words mentioned above are the local names of the damned creatures found in the different islands and islets of this archipelago. But does full moon really have any affect to both human and animal behavior?

Here's what the experts have to say...

When there is an unusual occurrence of just about anything, people tend to associate it to the strangest things which do not have any relation with each other at all. This is caused by a person's selective memory. When there's a full moon, we notice that moon and put the blame to it just because it looks so mysterious and it has been always associated with darkness.

And since this has been the usual reaction of everybody, the media tend to sensationalize the situation. But, we must all admit that its what they do – to sensationalize a slightly obscure scenario. That makes the full moon and a weird occurrence even more strange.

A psychiatrist have studied this particular belief and explains that people behave in a mischievous way because this belief has been carried down from one generation to another. Legends and folklores tell about people from an ancient civilization dancing and prancing about whenever a full moon occurs. Hmm...this is probably why people also tend to behave madly whenever there is full moon. The feeling of being carefree doesn't have anything to do with the forces of the moon. It simply is what people believed before up to now.

I wonder if going out to the woods during a full moon will not be safe now?
