Wow…
The Keys to Your Heart |
 You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you. You’d like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful… that you’ll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is comforting. You crave a relationship where you always feel warmth and love. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You’ll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |

If you had one hour to live and could make just one phone call, who would you call? What would you say? And why are you waiting?
At times like this, When I have a test every single day and super tired with things to do overwhelming me…I want to take a break…and I dream of sitting in the swing reading a book with the wind blowing in my hair… or
Lying on my bed back home with the windows wide open and the morning sun gently caressing my cheeks when I read my book
or
Starbucks…Javachip…soft lounge music…Mount Kiara…good book…need I say more…
oh man…I miss those times…I have yet to read a book in months other than my bio/phy/chem/russian text book and I was browsing and I found some rather good reads…
HANDYMAN- LINDA NICHOLS
Delacorte Press (Hardback), ISBN 0-385-33437-0
Sometimes life just gets you down. What if a handyman dropped into your life and fixed your troubles, and maybe that leaking faucet, too?
Maggie Ivey needs more repair than the seedy apartment she lives in. Who better to reconstruct her life than Jake Cooper, half-owner of Cooper-Jackson Construction and General Contractors? After all, the company motto reads, “Let us turn your dream into reality.” And Handyman Jake certainly wants to do just that after Maggie walks into his life. He can’t let her go — or tell her the truth.
Dr. Jason Golding, pop psychologist extraordinaire, hired Jake and his partner, Ethelda Jackson, to remodel his office. Meanwhile, Maggie’s friend Gina gave her 21 days of therapy from Dr. Golding. When the sobbing, distraught Maggie arrives for the first session of Dr. Golding’s famous 21-Day Overhaul, behind the doctor’s desk sits a quiet, handsome man who listens to her woes and never reveals his name. Maggie assumes the laconic man listening to her is Dr. Golding. Jake doesn’t disagree. How can he? One session and this sweet, troubled woman puts a lock on his heart.
And troubled she is — in fact, too troubled, too needy, too downtrodden. Nichols pours tragedy in Maggie’s life thicker than concrete. Maggie, a single parent, suffers from no money, works for a boss who sexually harasses her at every opportunity and keeps her in employment limbo in the Temp Help pool. Her sickly five-year-old son needs ear surgery. Her mother wants her to move back home to Georgia. And Maggie lives in a worn-down apartment building on the wrong side of the San Francisco Bay. Will 21 days even begin to fix Maggie’s problems?
While Jake builds a new Maggie, others draw up plans to tear her down. When Gina learns that Maggie’s 21-Day Overhaul involves more than the routine one-hour sessions, she becomes suspicious. Jake’s narcissistic ex-girlfriend Lindsay schemes to rekindle their romance, but Jake doesn’t want her back. Besides, impersonating Dr. Golding keeps Jake too busy. Just how far can he ethically push the patient-doctor relationship?
Every time Dr. Golding enters the scene, Nichols’s sharp wit and satirical tone prevail. At the zenith of his career, about to deliver a paper to a prestigious group of his peers who previously scorned his celebrity success, Dr. Golding suffers a heart attack. Stuck in a New York hospital, Golding plots new ways to scam money from his unsuspecting, gullible patients. You can’t help but cheer his inventiveness, if nothing else.
But the not-so-good doctor pushes his feel-good books as much as he ignores his patients. How long before Maggie buys one and looks at the picture on the book jacket?
Although Handyman offers some entertaining moments, an overabundance of exposition slows the narrative pace. Nichols misses opportunities for her characters to interact. Nichols “tells” too much of the book when she should let her characters do the talking. But perhaps we shouldn’t expect first books to operate like Cooper-Jackson Construction and General Contractors and turn our dream into reality.
AN HOUR TO LIVE, AN HOUR TO LOVE- RICHARD & KRISTINE CARLSON
~trus story~
If you had one hour to live and could make just one phone call, who would you call? What would you say? And why are you waiting?
Richard Carlson’s sudden, tragic death in December 2006 left his millions of fans reeling, but even their many letters, calls, and e-mails couldn’t erase the loss felt by his wife and partner, Kristine. To assuage her grief, she pored over a quarter century’s supply of love letters, reliving the emotions and cherishing her late husband’s memory. In a profoundly moving act of healing, she focused on one letter full of particularly apt questions, which Richard had given to her on their eighteenth anniversary, and answered these questions with keen insight and fresh passion. Kris offers her heartfelt response to Richard’s moving letter.
Both an intimate look inside a special relationship and a gift to the many people whose lives were changed by Richard’s work, An Hour to Live, An Hour to Love will have readers everywhere wondering how they themselves would answer the question: if you had one hour to live, what would you do, and who would you call?
An Hour to Live, An Hour to Love is inspiring and uplifting, and shows the importance of treasuring each day as the incredible gift that it is.
This book is actually the compilation of RIchard’s love letters to his wife Kristine…

Meaning of Love
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8
year-olds, “What does love mean?” The answers they got were
broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.
See what you think:
“When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over
and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her
all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.”
Rebecca- age 8
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is
different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.”
Billy – age 4
“Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on
shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.”
Karl – age 5
“Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of
your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.”
Chrissy -age 6
“Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.”
Terri – age 4
“Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she
takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is
OK.”
Danny – age 7
“Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired
of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My
Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss”
Emily – age 8
“Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop
opening presents and listen.”
Bobby – age 7 ~ wow…that is a hell of a smart kid~
“If you want to learn to love better, you should start with
a friend who you hate,”
Nikka – age 6 ~we need a few million more Nikka’s on this planet~
“Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he
wears it everyday.”
Noelle – age 7
“Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are
still friends even after they know each other so well.”
Tommy – age 6
“During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared.
I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and
smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn’t scared
anymore.”
Cindy – age 8
“My mommy loves me more than anybody . You don’t see anyone
else kissing me to sleep at night.”
Clare – age 6
“Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.”
Elaine-age 5
“Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still
says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.”
Chris – age 7
“Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left
him alone all day.”
Mary Ann – age 4
“I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her
old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.”
Lauren – age 4
“When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and
little stars come out of you.”
Karen – age 7~ Adorable~
“Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn’t
think it’s gross.”
Mark – age 6
“You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it.
But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.”
Jessica – age 8
And the final one — Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once
talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the
contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor
was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon
seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old
gentleman’s yard,
climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked
what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, “Nothing, I
just helped him cry”
When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out
that God is all you need. Because God is Love and Love is God…
I posted this 2 years ago and I am reposting it because last night Pastor John Ollis in the Love Factor mentioned a quote of two from this list….and it just made me feel like posting it:)
Why BEAUTIFUL women marry LESS ATTRACTIVE men?
Women seeking a lifelong mate might do well to choose the guy a notch below them in the looks category. New research reveals couples in which the wife is better looking than her husband are more positive and supportive than other match-ups.
The reason, researchers suspect, is that men place great value on beauty, whereas women are more interested in having a supportive husband.
Researchers admit that looks are subjective, but studies show there are some universal standards, including large eyes, “baby face” features, symmetric faces, so-called average faces, and specific waist-hip ratios in men versus women.
Past research has shown that individuals with comparable stunning looks are attracted to each other and once they hook up they report greater relationship satisfaction. These studies, however, are mainly based on new couples, showing that absolute beauty is important in the earliest stages of couple-hood, said lead researcher James McNulty of the University of Tennessee. But the role of physical attractiveness in well-established partnerships, such as marriage, is somewhat of a mystery.
The new study, published in the February issue of the Journal of Family Psychology, reveals looks continue to matter beyond that initial attraction, though in a different way.
Supportive spouses
McNulty’s team assessed 82 couples who had married within the previous six months and had been together for nearly three years prior to tying the knot. Participants were on average in their early to mid-20s.
Researchers videotaped as each spouse discussed with their partner a personal problem for 10 minutes. The tapes were analyzed for whether partners were supportive of spouses’ issues, which included goals to eat healthier, to land a new job and to exercise more often.
”A negative husband would’ve said, ‘This is your problem, you deal with it,’” McNulty said, “versus ‘Hey, I’m here for you; what do you want me to do?; how can I help you?’”
A group of trained “coders” rated the facial attractiveness of each spouse on a scale from 1 to 10, with the perfect 10 representing the ultimate babe. About a third of the couples had a more attractive wife, a third a more attractive husband and the remaining partners showed matching looks.
Trophy wives
Overall, wives and husbands behaved more positively when the woman was better looking.
The finding “seems very reasonable,” said Dan Ariely, a professor of behavioral economics at MIT’s Program in Media Arts and Sciences and Sloan School of Management. “Men are very sensitive to women’s attractiveness. Women seem to be sensitive to men’s height and salary,” said Ariely, who was not involved in the recent study.
In couples with more attractive husbands, both partners were less supportive of one another. McNulty suggests wives mirror, in some ways, the level of support they get from husbands.
“The husband who’s less physically attractive than his wife is getting something more than maybe he can expect to get,” McNulty told LiveScience. “He’s getting something better than he’s providing at that level. So he’s going to work hard to maintain that relationship.”
Men who are more attractive than their partners would theoretically have access to partners who are more attractive than their current spouses, McNulty said. The “grass could be greener” mentality could make these men less satisfied and less committed to maintain the marriage.
Physical attractiveness of husbands is not as important to women, the researchers suggest. Rather, wives are looking for supportive husbands, they say.
So it seems the mismatch in looks is actually a perfect match. “Equitable is unlikely to mean the same on every dimension,” Ariely said during a telephone interview. “It just means that overall two people make sense together.”

Wow…I seriously never thought of that like no wonder so many beautiful girls are dating some average looking guys…Didn’t know that guys are so shallow also and beauty actually matters…But I would agree though that girls are more senstive and really see beyond what the eyes can see into what truly makes the person shine…I think that is important…and also maybe because alot of cute guys are jerks right…haha…
I went to this talk… L-factor….LOVE factor…it was alrigth….what I learn?
1.Love is God
~ Well I kinda know that already…because my life was saved because God = Love…. if not I am probablt still dangling and hanging in the air with no purpose in life.
2. Husbands should love their wife …like alot
~ something like that…I cannot remember that full sentence…but yeah…I totally agree to that…haha Like how my daddy loves my mummy.. :p
3. The body is a house to what is important… Love the owner of the house and not what the eyes see…
~ Don’t fall in love with the person because she is hot or he is cute because that fades away and also…that is call infatuation for your information…SO the stupid pickup line of “I walk pass you the first time and I understood the meaning of love” do not actually work..k…
4. Basically if you do not Love God …you do not know what is LOVE
~ Obviously….so….You have to Love GOD…
5. Love is a two way thing not a one way thing….both partners have to work things out
im not preaching…Im just relating what I learn from LOVE Factor….and I agree….he probably said alot more but I only remember this 4 because I agree with it ….:p

The Core of An Apple
I was checking my daily comments on my blog and when I reach the post,Blue lips and numb fingers I saw a blogging opportunity.. “Yeah!!!~ haha
One of my readers mentioned something about “Man always do stuff that satisfy themselves and make them happy”…Have you ever thought about that? I have…and I have to admit it is indeed true but of course it is true. No one wants to wake up sad…live through the day sad and then go to bed sad…it is pathetic and I have had days like this and it is so not fun at all….I guess it really doesn’t matter that you do stuff that makes you happy and leaves you filled with satisfaction…
like…I just ate an apple and according of the list of things that I should not eat…Apple is one of them but i eat it anyway because well firstly i am freaking stubborn, secondly I am desperate for fruits, thirdly because it makes me happy and keeps me satisfy and last but not least…it does not harm anyone so it is acceptable…haha
but like seriously…If you read her comment it is really full ofphilosophy and reading it took me back a few years ago when I was dumb and stupid and immature…haha I thought of the same thing and I felt no hope to move on in life like what do I do everyday…
I pray all the time on my knees by my bedside with my hopes lifted up to the starry night…I asked God all the time, “What is my purpose in life? I cannot simply do what I am doing now everyday until the day I died..” and as my prayers were answered I saw the calling for me and ever since then…I am immersed in charity, in doing things for children, and it has become my lifelong goal to dedicate my life to others and if God loves me he would let me die to save lifes of others. That will be the best thing that happen to me..(at least i hope that I will remember my goal to the day I graduate…and i set afew alarms already incase i drifted away from my dream)
HOPE is important to me…(Its the tagline for my blog…of course it is important) haha…and I carry that word on the bracelet i wear on my right hand…(My bracelet was given by one of my hostmums and it carries these words: Trust.Love.Laugh.Believe.Dream.Faith.Peace.Joy.Strength.Hope.)
Hope is important to me because no matter what the situation is…No matter how dark is the tunnel I am in I have hope that light will shine through.I never give up until I really give up. I strive and I fight through it all…I push and push with all my energy until the road is clear…
Problems will never stop coming, obstacles will never stop giving us excitement…but hey if you think about it..our life will be freaking boring without it…so be like me EMBRACE IT… and THANK GOD for it
P.S I have been in good mood these few days because I did something I wanted to do 3 years ago and now I finally have the courage to do it meaning I finally finally let go. All this while my lips always said that I let go, but something asked me back…Have you really let go? Can you really admit with truth from your heart that you let go? …honestly I couldn’t answer that question…but now…with me doing this…I know I truly let go…How do I know? How can I confirm…well last time…i feel stirs in my heart reading the replies but now…I really do not feel anything else other than wanting to help make the situation better…so…THANK YOU, THANK GOD for helping me let go….3 years of prayers, 3 years of patience and yes….I Finally did it… I settled my unfinnish buisness already ( “,)v
everyone….congratulate me k….haha

Are you ready to leave the place you are standing now and receive a one-way ticket to Heaven?
Can you really let go of everything and leave everything behind and go to Heaven right this moment?
