Music On Valentines

angel on Jan-31-2009

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. ;)

Wedding Songs

angel on Jan-24-2009

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? :)

 

Large Beds

angel on Jan-23-2009

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?

Extra Calories

angel on Jan-22-2009

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!

The Law Of The Garbage Truck

angel on Jan-21-2009

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.

Holiday Aftereffects

angel on Jan-20-2009

The holidays are over and a lot of people are dealing with increased weight and a much bigger stomach. What with all the feasts during Christmas and celebrating the New Year, people have forgotten all about their diets and ate like there’s no tomorrow. So now that the food season is over they’re a few pounds heavier. So some would go back to their diets, like the Slimquick Cleanse or whatever diet they were on before the holidays. Sometimes, it sucks when you have the type of body that gets fat easily, don’t you think? How about those who are lucky enough to eat whatever they want and not gain a pound?

Still Advancing…

angel on Jan-17-2009

A friend of mine wanted a new watch for Christmas but I didn’t have money to buy him one. That didn’t stop me from looking online and checking out new models of watches though. It’s bizarre, I never imagined there would actually be a whole bunch of weird watches available for sale nowadays. There are watches that can be embedded in a fingernail, watches that are on T-shirts, talking watches, and who knows what else! People are coming up with lots of wild technological advances, there are endless possibilities now. If you have money, you can avail of even the wildest, craziest stuff ever made. And it just keeps getting crazier and crazier! Who knows what stuff will be discovered and created a few hundred years from now…

No Boyfriend Since Birth

angel on Jan-16-2009

This is a story one of my readers sent in to me and she gave me permission to publish it here. Someone out there might be able to relate to her story, as so many people have the same problem. If you guys have any words of advice or any comment for that matter, please feel free to chime in. Here goes…

——————————————————————–

My love story is one of loneliness. It’s a long story, as I’m not sure when it started and when it will end, if it ever does.

I’m a cheerful, confident and sensitive girl. I was born in a caring family and I have close friends who are precious to me. I love arts, plants, animals and I sure can say I love life.

But I have a hole in my heart and sometimes I’m scared that it will never go. I’m 32 and I never had a boyfriend. Nobody could tell, ever, except people that I’ve known for years. Only a few of my friends and family know about it. It’s not something I talk about openly. I guess I’m kind of ashamed. The older I get, the worse it is.

I have both men and female friends. I get along well with women: I’m not the competitive type and I’m a good listener. My male friends consider me as “one of the boys” when we talk about music and play videogames but I’m very feminine too and I get a lot of compliments from intellectuals as well as from young punks. I’m a smiling person and men seem to like that :)

I never had a serious relationship. Never did a man say to me “I love you”, in a romantic way. I dated a few guys but never long enough too call them “my boyfriend” and I’ve been dumped carelessly. I got intimate with some and I don’t regret it: I needed affection, as every human being does. There was one I loved with all my heart but it was wasted. He liked me as a friend. Since he had drug problems at the time, I know now it was better that way. I know that I would have endured it all.

I won’t go out with a man at any price. I have good values and a good temper and I go along with men that are alike. If the point was “to be with somebody”, I would have been married years ago! I need to love and be loved. What’s wrong with looking for the Prince Charming? He’ll be pleased to have found his Princess Charming too :)

Nobody understands why it is: it’s like a curse. How can a sweet and smart girl never have a boyfriend? One of my friends almost cried when we talk about it. She knows how it makes me sad even if I don’t complain, though it hurts like hell. I try to think about all the other good things in my life. Except for my messy love life, I can say I’m blessed. But when I cry at night because I miss to be held in loving arms, believe me, I have to talk to myself otherwise I would go insane. Some days, I feel like a monster.

I’ve been hurt a lot. Sometimes, I wonder if I should ever trust another guy and give him a chance to get closer. I can’t help but give it a try. I’m a loving person and I will always follow my heart. Even if I don’t have a single proof that one day I’ll find someone, it’s worth trying. Maybe one day the bad dream will be over and the hole in my heart will be filled with love. :)

Rhythm & Blues

angel on Jan-14-2009

Last year was full of partying and bar hopping and discos. I’m not that well updated with current hits since I seldom listen to the radio, but when you’re out there dancing your booty off, you hear club tracks that… well… let’s just say, make you grind even more. Hehe. Anyway, here is a compilation of R&B club tunes that I’ve heard and liked. All designed for your clubbing pleasure. Feel free to suggest some of your own in the comments section. Enjoy! :)
