February is just around the corner and with the love month starting tomorrow, so many lovers are excited to celebrate! A few more days and it’s Valentine’s Day. People take this holiday seriously and although it’s not really a REAL holiday, it’s being celebrated all around the world.

What I love most in February, if not spending time with my loved ones, are the love concerts. People are feeling extra romantic this month, and what can inspire that feeling more than love songs, right? I’ve always felt that love and music come together. They fit together perfectly. I think going to a love concert together with a partner and listening to love songs while holding hands is really romantic, don’t you?

Contrary to popular belief, love concerts are not just for the hopeless romantic. So many people are opting to have their dates in an intimate venue where their favorite artist is having a concert and listen all night long to love songs. Mellow music and love songs are really IN right now. It’s something that sets a nice, loving mood and makes you more open to being romantic with your loved one. So guys, why not take your girlfriend or wife out to a romantic concert this Valentine’s day? If they love music, they’ll love you even more.

I’ve been with Dneero for quite a while now, and their convos are really interesting. They offer lots of different topics and surveys and it opens up a lot of thoughts and opinions. I think it’s neat to be able to offer your opinion about things.

The second animal who arrived was the serious, enduring and hard-working Ox. The OX year is a conservative year, one of traditions and values. This is not a year to be outrageous. A slow but steady year. This OX year will bring stability and growth where patience and diligence pays off. January 26 is the start of the new year of the ox!

People Born in the Year of the OX are patient, stable, strong, dutiful, reliable, tenacious, practical, industrious, determined, honest, loyal, sincere, persevering and down to earth and tolerant. They can sometimes be lonely but they form firm bonds with home and family. The OX people cherish their private lives and are not usually very adventurous. They can be loners. They know the way to succeed is by a slow, steady, sustained effort. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. OX people are great traditionalists, they like the familiar. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster, and Rat people.

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

I saw him again tonight. But I had way better control this time than I had last time. Although I have to admit my heartbeat went a bit faster when I saw him. I guess it’s just an involuntary reaction I get every time I see him unexpectedly, I mean, I did love the guy with all my heart once - still do, as matter of fact. I guess I always will. But that doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t change the fact that that particular chapter in my life is over and that I promised myself I would never go back, if I could help it.

I was with some friends tonight and when I saw him walk past me, I had the urge to call his attention. But I didn’t. I couldn’t. I know that if I let him see me, and we would get to talking, then I would just be giving myself a hard time. It’s just too early. We’re friends through text and chat, but that’s about it. I don’t want to talk to him personally, not just yet anyway. I have to allow myself that separation time. I know I shouldn’t be texting or chatting with him even, but I just can’t stop myself. I want him to be part of my life still - as a FRIEND. I don’t wanna lose his friendship. Even though it didn’t work out between us as lovers, I still want us to be friends. After all, he’s the best friend I’ve ever had.

I didn’t expect to see him tonight. But like I said, I handled it better than last time. Way better. For one thing, I didn’t feel the painful wave of emotions and memories anymore. I didn’t feel bad about the past. The longing isn’t that intense now. I always knew it will get easier with time. It has to.

Tonight, I’m simply acknowledging the fact that I do miss him. I miss his company and his love. But for some reason, it seems like I’m feeling it in some other part of my heart. It’s a sort of distant feeling, not central to my emotions. I can’t really explain it, but I do know that it’s not the kind of emotion like before. I think it stems from the fact that I’ve accepted in my heart that we’re not meant to be together. What we had is just part of my past now. I still feel the attraction and temptation to go back, but it’s easier to ignore them now. I’ve learned to include them in my “box of memories” left somewhere in my past, and not let them affect me in a negative way.

I know that somewhere out there, I’m going to find the man that’s meant for me. But I’m in no hurry to meet him. He will come at the right time. As for my ex, I still love him. But we just can’t be together anymore. And I don’t wanna go back. I don’t want to feel all that pain again. Don’t get me wrong, I AM grateful for everything I’ve shared with him, all the good times and the bad. I feel lucky that I was able to experience love with him. But everything that I’ve been feeling is just felt in a positive way now. No bitterness, no anger, no regret… just pure acceptance and forgiveness. I can say that I’m well on my way. I’m really moving on. And it just makes me so happy that I’ve finally found the strength to do it. I feel light and free. And I know this is just the first step to finding my own happiness. A few more steps to go.

I love weddings. There’s just something about them… two people coming together to commit to each other forever. There’s a kind of magic in the air. It’s nice to see a couple so in love with each other that they’d want to spend the rest of their lives together… you can see it in their eyes, their smile. It’s a beautiful thing to witness, their coming together, saying their vows to each other in front of God and all the people that are special to them. It’s just so touching and inspiring. Weddings are one if not the most magical moment of a person’s life. I know that not all weddings last but that doesn’t change the fact that these people DID feel the magic on their wedding day. Even if it didn’t work out, they still felt love and happiness during their wedding day. And that’s special all on itself.

I’ve witnessed really beautiful weddings in my life, quite a few actually, and I felt goosebumps every time. The whole idea just touches my heart and inspires me. And music is hugely a part of what makes it all so inspiring. Wedding songs are so sentimental and meaningful, that they really make the experience more real and special. Here are some wedding songs I like to listen to. What other weddings songs do you like?

I didn’t get to sleep well last night. I don’t know why, I kept tossing and turning and there was even a point when I almost rolled out of my bed! My bed in my apartment is small, it’s a double deck, and the whole width of the bed is just enough for one person. Two people would barely fit in there. I’ve always been fond of big beds. Preferably queen size or king size bed frames. It’s just a great thing to be able to sleep and move all you want, without fear of falling off the bed. What about you, do you like big beds too?

Ever since I quit the gym, I started gaining a few pounds. I kind of expected it since I don’t really have time for exercise anymore. I sit in the office all day and with dinners here and there, the extra calories are bound to manifest themselves. Anyway, I have to get back on track, I have to adopt a more healthy diet. A friend of mine suggested this diet pill (again!) Fentraphen. Now this friend of mine is always on the look out for stuff to help her lose weight, and since I’m her friend, I’m always the one who gets endless product recommendations. I haven’t looked into it, but she, on the other hand, wants to try it. I guess I have to wait and see if she loses weight with it. Oh well… as for now, I have to watch what I eat!

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, ‘Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!’ This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you.

Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so….. ‘Love the people who treat you right.. Pray for the ones who don’t.’

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it.
