Wedding cakes
An enourmous directory

That is my cousin Chris with his just-married-wife Anna at their wedding ceremony about 2 weeks ago. They newlyweds looked stunningly happy. I noticed that the church they had their wedding in looked classical. And then I thought about myself. About where I am going to have mine when my time comes. If it ever comes. =)

Anyways, I’m sure when you wed, you’d want to have a kick ass, memorable place to do it too. I searched and found many people asking about idea places to have a wedding at. Well, here are your answers for several of the common places found all over the world that you would want to have your wedding at.

Seaside / Beach / Ocean Front Wedding

Couples from all over the world exchanging vows on the white sugar sand beaches, with the emerald water and breath-taking sunsets as a backdrop. Escalate the excitement by having everyone go barefoot.

Castle / Mansion Wedding

Celebrities seem to have a thing with castles and mansions. One of the reasons lie in the magnitude of the place. All the rooms and halls are huge and can take thousands. I know there are lots and lots of castles in England, Scotland and Wales that make it as stunningly romantic venues for a wedding.

Church Wedding

Christians’ favourite wedding spot. It’s easier to organize, and the backdrop will never change be it stormy or sunshine.

Poolside Wedding

You can easily find a nice modern looking pool in any 5 star hotel near your city. If you could find a poolside by the ocean front, even better.

Garden Wedding

Ah.. the pond, the trees, the birds and a swing set.

Something different. A wedding by the lighthouse brings about a historical, classical feeling.

Waterfall Wedding

Waterfall weddings rock! Get engulfed with the tranquility of nature surrounding it, especially the sound of the water falling.

Bridge Wedding

There are scenic bridges around but you have to put in some effort to search for them. It’s special, as it looks a bit like a fairytail affair. It signifies the ‘bridging’ of two people.

The age old saying of women are from venus and men are from mars. True to a certain point when it comes to the very defferent things that attract both sexes. Men are attracted to looks and women are attracted to status. These are the 3 things women look for in men and these are the 6 type of guys that exist in women’s eyes.

The 4th thing that a woman must have is that she needs to feel like a woman. She needs to enjoy being beautiful, sexy and feminine. All of those come with being a woman. They could mean :

• A day at the spa, manicure, facial, pedicure, massage, mud bath. These are some of the sensual and aesthetic pleasures designed to make her forget life’s problems and focus on herself. She loves the feeling of being pampered.
• A night out with her sisters at the local pub, bar, pot luck, dinner, party. These are the relationship activities that keeps her connected to her friends and help remind her that she’s not alone. Just sitting around, talking, laughing and enjoying each other meets her intrinsic need to bond and validation.
• Shopping for something special to add to the closet to make her feel like a woman. She shops to feel good, to look better and to get a buzz. It’s a substitutive satisfaction. A woman cares more about her outward appearances more than men. A portion of women are materialistic to a certain extent, but with exceptions.
• Getting a makeover or new hairdo. Women like the feeling of ‘new’ (there’s a word for it that starts with v but I can’t think of it at the moment) and going for a new look is always as exciting as the previous. A new lipstick, eyeshadow or blush changes her look. A different hairstyle will definitely change her face. It’s also part of feeling pampered when the hairstylist gives all the attention to styling that perfect hair for her.

The best thing about a woman feeling like a woman is the prerogative, to have a little fun, get in the action, feel the attraction and to have a good time.

‘if you don’t know why I’m mad at you, I’m not going to tell you’

This is the mother of all threats, to men. It’s like asking an accountant to repair a computer. Men are not psychics. They can’t read minds. Believe me. It’s frustrating and annoying at the same time.

‘errr… no offense but my ex had nicer 6 packs’

Let the past be the past. Some men are fine with women talking to their ex, some are not. Depends on the guy. But all men don’t like to be compared. Maybe he had a hotter body and richer than average, but are no longer together with him right?

‘do you think i look nice in this pair?’

DO not pose this question to men. Most men have less than 10 pair of shoes. How will they know if the shoes are nice? I have been asked by lady friends before to pick one shoe from the shop that I think looks nice. Truth is, I can’t. I just don’t know. I only have 5 pairs. Believe me, all guys are the same. Sometimes, men say and do things to avoid a commotion.

the case of the needy

Some women have security issues. NOT ALL, but some. Men who love their women will always be there to support them mentally, morally and emotionally. Though it may seem like an advantage, men who are in this situation would prefer to retain some peace of mind.

in the workplace

In the corporate world, gossip and competitiveness may get out of hand.

bossy and naggy

This may happen at home or in the office. If you get a lady superior that is bossy or naggy, you gotta switch. This may also happen in friendships and relationships.

jealous and back stabbing

Some ladies do that to their own friends. Some may overreact and get jealous easily over their men. I’ve heard some of the things my lady friends say when they think other girls are hitting on their boyfriends or husbands. Sometimes, I feel it’s a bit unnecessary.

the amount of toiletries

Loofahs, potpourri and peppermint foot scrub exfoliant spiked with Shea butter are some of the things that you will find in the bathroom.

My friend is suicidal. How I be of help?

According to the National Mental Health Association, more than 19 million Americans suffer from depression each year. Among teens, one out of five is depressed. Suicide comes into a person’s mind when life reaches a climax of unbearable pain. These are the times your friend doesn’t think he can ever get through, but when he does, he won’t know how he got through it. Here are several ways to deal with it.

• Try talking to your friend. If you think that the source of depression comes from the family, don’t speak with them. If not, talk to his parents. Let them know about your concern and the seriousness of the situation. Talk to a professional about it. Ending a person’s life is something that cannot be replaced. Once gone, it’s gone forever.
• Be a true friend and keep his mind occupied. Pick up a hobby together that uses up a lot of strength and power. Maybe he’s a pain glutton. Try body building. It will keep his body in shape and healthy, plus release all the rage inside.
• Start buying him lots and lots of dark chocolate. Why? Cause it keeps a person happy. Really. Dark chocolate has this thing called ‘phenylethylamine’ which enhances your mood.
• Do something crazy with him. Go for a haircut. Something different for a change. Dye it, highlight it, shave it. Whatever. Feel new. Feel different. Feel good.
• Have a look at depression.com

How do I ask my crush out?

• Look for common ground. Music, class, office politics or even mutual friends will help.
• Timing is very important. Don’t ask during breaks. Ask in private. When I was in school, I waited till after class to ask. My chance came when both our parents came late to pick us up. *jeng* *jeng* *jeng*… when opportunity came knocking on my door, I took it. =P
• Maybe there’s no chance that you and your crush could be alone for even a moment. Or maybe you’re too shy. Then, this is where other methods of communication come in. You can choose to email her, sms her, write a note and leave it on her desk.
• Ask your friends for help. Invite him/her out to fun and interesting activities like movies or dinners with mutual friends so that both of you have a comfortable environment to start in.

My best friend got a boyfriend and now she ignores me. What should I do?

It’s good to know that your best friend ignored you. It shows that you are only ‘used’ when she is lonely. But if you still think of all the years and good times that you’ve went through together and it makes you sad to see the friendship end, confront her. Tell her how you feel. Tell her about the disappointment you feel. Tell her (if you and her are best friends I believe you will be crying when you say this) that ‘these tears are the last tears’ that you will ever cry for her. Warn her to not come and cry to you if/when she breaks up with her boyfriend.

Yeah. That should sound better. Remember, do not risk yourself by asking questions. Just say how you feel and how you will treat her from that day onwards. The day will come when she grows up, but until then, carry on with your life.

What is considered cheating on someone?

Simple. It’s cheating if you say yes to these 4 :

• you have to hide it or lie about it.
• it’ll lower your partner’s self-esteem.
• you feel guilty about it.
• you wouldn’t want your partner to do it.

My mom and I don’t have a good relationship. What can I do to improve it?

• Write out your feelings in a journal and let her read them when she’s calm. Blogging helps.
• Maybe your mom doesn’t mean to have a bad temper. Maybe your mom is probably frustrated with her work or family situation. Maybe her anger is towards things you do or you don’t do. Maybe she a lot of things to do in very little time. Maybe you can contribute in getting some things done for her.
• Try movies, lunch, dinner, concerts, park rides or just give her a surprise b’day party. Try to reacquaint by doing things together.

How do I get along with my parents and talk to them without crying?

From a child’s perspective, some parents

• act like they know everything
• always boss you around
• are picky
• strict
• extra overprotective
• embarrass them in front of their friends.

I believe that children are the products of their parents whose message to their children is ‘do as I do’, and until some children breaks the cycle, only then will morality and bondage come back.

Ask yourself. Do they yell or overreact? Do you feel like you’re not being heard? Do they treat you like a child instead of a person who is becoming an adult? It would be helpful if you can let them know the reasons why you get upset.

Try talking to one parent at a time. A letter would also be a good idea. And try not to jump to conclusions. Most parents want to help their children with difficult problems. If you expect a parent to respond with a lecture and not really hear you out, you might actually get what you expect. Although it may be a little scary to think about, it is often true that the way we approach a situation has a lot to do with what happens. For example, if we approach a situation with negative expectations, we may do things to make a negative outcome more likely. On the other hand, if you can try to be open and honest, then your parents might also respond openly and honestly.

My boyfriend is all about my boobs. How do I get him to notice me and not my breasts?

lol. Talk to him. Tell him about how you feel. That’s it. If he’s still being childish about it. Then maybe you should reevaluate your relationship. A relationship without respect is like Wan Ton Soup without Won Ton. A couple who stops thinking and acting alike will lose attraction to each other. Once a person changes his character and outlook, the relationship will change too.

My parents walked in on my girlfriend and me having sex. What should I do now?

Damn. This is tough. Locks were invented for a reason, right? One thing is for sure. Parents will either react hard or easy. Believe me, both parties will surely be embarrassed. Sometimes it will result in anger, sometimes it will result in a mutual understanding.

If they don’t say anything, let it be. If they do behave or act funny, approach them for a time where you and your parents can talk about it. Be honest and open for comments. Remember that other people’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality. Let them finish talking before you say anything. Show some respect. When it’s your turn to talk, expect the same.

One more thing, please remember to lock the room. =)

I broke up with a guy who i really cared for and ever since then i am horribly sad. How can I get over this depression?

Time heals all wounds. Not your friends, family, comedies or counseling but time.

• Eat a bar of Hershey’s daily. It should keep you happy. Don’t over eat, ya.
• Take up a sport. Let go of all the frustration on the cycling machine, treadmill and dumbbells.
• The universal rule of karma. What goes around, comes around.

Once you’ve healed. Get a life. Socialize. Make as many friends as you can and stick to the ones that are true and honest. Make sure you have a life of your own before hopping on another relationship. See what you wanna achieve in life and go for it. Know that nothing in this world last forever. You should live your life for no one else in this world, but yourself.

Liposuction (Fat Reduction)



Benefits

What liposuction does is to generally remove localized areas of fat from common locations of the body such as the buttocks, tummy, lower abdomen, thighs and arms.

Risks

If too much fat and fluid is removed the body can go into shock.

An unnoticed careless mistake will lead to internal bleeding.

The skin may also be dimpled and saggy due to irregular surface.

Solution

The most healthiest natural way to reduce fat is to exercise. Jogging on a treadmill for 1 hour burns more than 600 calories. It’s the best.

Retin A (Wrinkle Reduction)



Benefits

Retin A is a kind of drug that causes the blood vessels beneath the surface to proliferate, which improves the skin texture and promotes collagen formation. This has the effect of plumping up the skin and filling out fine wrinkles.

Too much Retin A causes redness and peeling.

Difficulty breathing and the need for secondary surgery.

Considering Plastic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery pros and cons

SHORT

The pixie



This hairstyle gives your face full focus. It also makes you look and feel younger. However, this hairstyle is only suitable for chun chics. If you think you make the cut, gof or it. To maintain maintain this hairstyle, trim it monthly.

The natural afro



The natural afro suits black women best. Actually, this hair is suitable for the very busy. Why? Cause maintenance is low.

The long and short



This haircut is all about movement. The front can be tucked behind ears or left by the sides. If you’ve got a wide roundish face and a bigger than average mouth size, you’ll look gorgeous. It brings about a shine and make heads turn when you turn around.

Blunt bob



A lot of models wear this hair. This will certainly have you stand out among the crowd.

Short shag



if your hair is too thick or too fine, don’t do this. If you are a very ladylike person, this is for you. It will bring about a well mannered vibe.

Curly bob



This style brings about a sense of vintage classics. When I see a girl in this, I feel she’s gotta be fun to be with.

Romantic bob



Ahh… very suitable for going out on dates. You’ll look sweet. If you have dimples, ~fuh, you’ll rock the atmosphere around you.

Angled bob



If you wanna make your face look long and narrow, this is it. Your hair will have to be fine and straight. I like to watch the rustling motion of the hair when she walks.

MEDIUM

Paneling



The twist of layers gives your hair more volume. You’ll look lovelier if you have round eyes.

Medium shag



The layers will give your face form. Having some hair by the front of the eyes gives out a sense of mystery and attraction.

Wavy shag



This is for those who wanna look messy. Rugged yet massive.

LONG

Long shag



Well, this is pretty common among females. Why? Cause you’ll look refined.

Long with bangs



This is good for long faces. It gives more focus to the eyes and cheeks.

Long curls



Incredibly sexy. However, the price to pay lies in the difficulty of maintaining it.

Long straight



Good for anyone. Goes well with any dressing and occasion.

Long layers



Makes you look versatile and laid back. I feel that ladies in this type of hairstyle have amusing characters.

So I can imagine how difficult it is for a lady to do their stuff every time. It must be so frustrating when you’ve gotta unload when you’re driving and there’s no toilet in sight for another half an hour. The thought of having to squat and unload among the bushes sure is unhygienic and risky.

Well, what a relief it must be for women who use this product called the P-Mate. It sure is amazing when a woman is able to pee standing up. P-Mate is shaped like a shoe with a hole at the toes. The entrance is placed between the legs, under the urethra with the toe hole facing out. That’s it! Quick and easy. Great stuff from Holland.
