Tell Me More

Hello everyone!

I know nothing about SA. Except for a few bits about the Apartheid and a few music artists i liked, i know next to nothing. No, i'm not going there nor planning a visit. Just got around to finding more information about SA after watching a film "Searching for Sugarman" as recommended by a dear friend. I liked the film and set my mind on learning more about the country.

I'm posting this blog as i have recently read an article about the current social situation there and now i'm keen to know more. I know there are a number of bloggers here from SA so your contributions and information are very much appreciated as i'm more confident they're first-hand.

Below is a link to the article.

How true is this?




Thanks!

Do We Really Need To Be With Our Soulmates?

I suppose everybody here now is familiar with profile titles and "looking for" text that states they're here to find their soulmates.

I wonder... how do you know a person is your soulmate? fun talks, same taste, same humor, same background, same religion, same race, same values, same upbringing, same thought patterns, finishing each other's sentences, same life goals even? an unexplainable attraction on all levels? they tick all the boxes?

If and when you find yours, is it necessary to be with them as in build a romantic relationship? How many mistaken soulmates have you had?

confused

point is, awesome song below



hope everybody's groovy cool

"My wife was a man and i never knew!"



For the relationship seekers: How well should you know your partner? Do you think it's alright to keep things from your spouse? How do you deal with Deception?

People always say "what's past is past and there's no need to bring it out" or "Leave the past behind" or "as long as we click". It's all a romantic notion, but commitment-wise, a lot of things come into play and should be given huge amounts consideration. It's better to love with eyes wide open. Now i'm not just talking about personality and kindness here. I personally want to know everything. Not only about gender or preferences, but all other things included i.e. status in life, background, career, medical history including the family's med history and what have you.

What things do you consider when jumping into a relationship and commitment?

How Low Can You Go?

Have you ever gone down on your knees to beg someone to stay? Or say "sorry" with killer begging puppy eyes when you know you've done wrong. Are you brave enough to admit your mistake?

Most of us, at some point, must have gone through rough and desperate times. Losing and regaining trust and/or love. What approaches do you use? I have done my fair share of swallowing my pride. How far have you gone to save a relationship?

Hello Bloggers!
I'm just looking for an excuse to post this music. A bit old, love it and got me on LSS.


Chin up... have fun... spread the love. teddybear heart wings

If you ask me, friendships are both overrated and underrated, put simply-- misunderstood.
I wince when someone says they’re meeting up with their best friend. So what does it mean?--I’m not sure. Their other friends are not good enough?--That’d be rude. Haven’t those other friends given their best at the time their acquaintance formed a stronger bond to qualify for real friendship?--There’s no way of knowing. Were they just putting up with them and passing the time then for lack of a better company?--It sucks. How do you earn the title of ‘best friend’?—One definitely cannot scheme into it.

I got one. No, not the usual type of friendship where you have to adjust to another person’s attitude, But a kind of friendship that merely happens because it’s natural, a kind of friendship destiny if such a thing exists. Just like you found something that initially perplexes you, and it gets interesting as days go by, and fun, and comfortable without even trying to find a comfort zone. It is where you can just be your nasty ugly self, not trying to impress, or trying to be nice for fear of offending or fear of rejection or ridicule. It’s just comfortable and it’s homey. Like a favorite shoe that you never want to get rid of, you don’t wear it as often but you keep it instead in your closet and you love keeping it and you keep loving it. On those rare times that you do wear it, you enjoy so because it’s comfortable and it suits your personality and it looks good on you, according to your taste of course. Or that really old shirt that you still wear going out to the convenience store to shop for snacks any time of the day, or daydream in it and think all the thoughts you can think of, just sitting comfortably and not moving at all just letting your thoughts wander, or clean the house wearing it and you’ll stink so bad from sweat and dust, and even wear it to bedtime. It’s comfortable and you’re at home with it because it makes you be yourself, do the things you want to do without restricting your movements or getting conscious that you’ll look ugly in it because you’re happy with its out-datedness and unimpressive-ness without qualms or shame. It’s you. It’s honest. It’s that kind of friendship.

I am listening to a song and she came into my mind. Not that the lyrics are dedicated to her (duh-ness!) But because I know she will like the song as much as I do. I know that when she listens to this song, she will get the feeling that I’m feeling when I’m hearing it and I know she can get into that mood that I get into, that yearning, feel good feeling. I can play this song over and over and I know she’d dig that same feeling of déjà vu that this song gives me. It’s nauseating and I’m liking this song so much I want to throw up. You probably won't understand that feeling and it’s not because I’m talking about something out of this world or that your experience or comprehension is limited. It’s simply because you are not Lara. And I know she will understand that feeling of wanting to throw up when you hear a song you really like, like this one right now. It makes me want to cry, out of happiness that I experienced that kind of friendship with Pundsie. These are the moments when I miss her.



end note: I promised myself to write a blog about closure and forgiveness, but i'm posting this short i hav written instead. Just because!wine

Squeeze, squeeze, SQUEEZE!!!

I left the workplace feeling tired and drained on a Saturday afternoon. My hair's a mess, my uniform all crumpled, and my left stocking had a long "run" from the thigh down to leg at the back. It sucks and i have to drop by the shopping center to get a new pair to replace the new one i just ruined moving back up that darned steel table. Whatever. It's just a few minutes away from relaxing at home. I can get through this. blues

Walking (almost tumbling) down the steps, leaving the work week behind, I undo my hair bun and chuck eyeglasses, nameplate and cap in my backpack and head for the department store. Oh goody! There's not too many people at this hour and i can go and pick the item and head back home. Peaceful weekend, come to momma! reunion

Ladies garments. Second floor. Right. I step up the escalator and begin to reach behind the bag for my wallet. I heard cluttering and looked behind me, i was leaving a trail of my stuff on the escalator. I quickly move back down, which is a very hard thing to do when thing's moving upward. Picking up my uniform, blood splattered stockings, eyeglasses, nameplate, cap, hairbrush and clips. Crap if this gets stuck in the moving stairs, i'd be in trouble. I hate causing a commotion and in public too. Chit, chit, chit!!! doh

I succeeded in getting all the stuff and i step off at the second floor. Carelessly putting everything in the bag while moving to the side so i won't block the people coming up. The nameplate slipped by my sweaty fingers and i hurriedly picked it up. And what happened? I felt a squeeze on my butt! Along with some voice saying "Hey miss, you're in the way" As i turned upright to face the offender, his friend's hand grazed my right boob (could've been accidental) but it lingered a second! very mad

I faced two young men grinning their faces off and my things went flying in the air as i slapped both at the same time with both hands and the bag screaming "F*********CK!" which maybe sounded more like a kung fu war cry. They were shocked and didn't fight back (thank goodness), but i kept at them until i noticed a few people gathering. The two men kept saying sorry over and over and soon a guard arrived and took the two pervs each by the arm. Guard asked if i want to file a complaint, i said "no, just list them up or whatever, i just wanna go home".

Mental note: I have to use another bag and get the new set of stockings tomorrow. sigh sigh

No idea what the ones below me are on about but before i go out for late night coffee (a.k.a. beer sesh), let me leave you with something graphic, literally.

I love you and we've never met...

"They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops."
- Big Fish


So! We are all in an international dating site and i've met a bunch of very nice people and in my mind i may have paired them up (it might be you dear reader) with other members i know here. I'm not telling!

See, you come here and mingle, exchange thoughts, laugh and even tease. Members get to know each other as time goes by and that is a lot of investment in time, effort and emotional attachment. So, you find someone you like, and before you know it, you're wanting more.

Yet the more important thing (i think), during the "getting to know" process, is to let others have a hint of what we're capable of in the name of love (or relationship). Show them what's in store. Mind, these are important hints if somebody is eyeing you secretly giggle

So before we disappoint others and disillusion ourselves (or vice versa) into thinking this is all going somewhere, it might be a good idea to refrain for a moment and ponder.

If things are at a standstill, would you take the initial step and take charge of the situation?
What are the things you're willing to put on the line?
How far would you go to show how much you care?
How far are you willing to go to take things to the next level?


Just how romantic are you?

Below is a video i found quite appropriate for the subject. A young man enlists the help of a production crew to declare his love for a girl he'd known through the internet and communicated with for 5 years smitten

Feel So close

Is it the length of time you've known each other? Is it the amount of exchange you've had? Feelings aside, what conditions are required to know you can take it to the next level?
