Why Women Need To Stop Watching Romantic Movies

1. WE EXPECT OUR PRINCE CHARMING TO LOOK LIKE BRAD PITT

Okay, let’s start with the easy one first. In movies, women always usually fall for the handsome lead. Thus, causing women in real life to use that celebrity or character as a basis of comparision regarding their own relationships. As much as I would love to be taken by Boris Kodjoe, it’s most likely not going to happen.

2. MEN DO NOT SPEAK IN MONOLOGUES PROFESSING THEIR LOVE TO YOU

In almost every romantic comedy or drama I’ve seen, the male lead will usually profess his undying love to the female lead (usually after a huge fight or temporary breakup) in these long and lengthy speeches that make Hamlet’s soliloquies look short, and that also usually make most womens’ hearts melt. Movies like ‘Disturbia,‘ ‘Jerry Maguire,’ and ‘Chasing Amy’ are all notorious for this. This causes many women to get depressed, because usually the closest thing a woman gets to getting a man to profess their love to her is when he gives her(voluntarily) the last chicken wing off his plate.

3. BEING A CONSTANT BITCH WILL NOT MAKE THE GUY WANT YOU MORE

Tell me if this sounds familiar. Boy meets girl. Girl is repulsed by boy. Boy keeps hounding girl. Girl eventually caves in and falls for once repulsive boy. Movies like ‘One Fine Day,’ ‘Something New,’ ‘Six Days and Seven Nights‘ and many others have all had female leads that literally treat the men like sh*t, and yet the men STILL pursue the women after being constantly rejected by them. Girls, let me tell that although playing hard to get and having a little attitude may help you catch a guy, treating the object of your affection like sh*t will get you nothing more than a “angry booty call” out of him.

4. FIRST TIME SEX IS NEVER AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS ON FILM

In the obligatory sex scenes in romantic movies, we usually see two bodies mesh in a perfectly choreographed way and the woman always has the most intense orgasm. We usually forget the first time with someone usually involves awkward positions and “shortcomings.” (If you catch my drift)

5. DO NOT EXPECT GRAND GESTURES

A few years ago, I got mad at my long term boyfriend at the time because he hadn’t done anything romantic for me. (i.e. Grand f*cking Gestures) How I longed for him to serenade me off key like Jerry O’ Connell and Adam Sandler did for their ladies in ‘Scream 2′ ( yup..even horror films are guilty of this) and ‘The Wedding Singer.’ Or for him to even carry me out of my workplace like Richard Gere carried Debra Winger out of the factory in ‘An Officer and a Gentleman.’ I remember him being angry at me after that…because I hadn’t appreciated all the little things he had done that were so much more important. :(

6. HE WILL NOT CHASE YOU IN THE RAIN

In fact he probably won’t chase you period. How many movies have you seen where the couple onscreen get into a fight, and the woman runs away, and the man catches up with her and turns her around to give her a passionate kiss? (I’ve lost count after ‘The Notebook.’) Let me tell you, that hardly happens. The only passionate thing I’ve gotten when I storm off after a fight is the finger.

7. HE WILL NOT RUIN YOUR WEDDING

I remember years ago I went to a psychic and they had told me that the man I loved was going to stop my wedding in the future. It was then, I realized I was getting jipped. Every woman has probably daydreamed in their lifetime about the one true love of their life stopping their wedding (like they do in the movies) and driving off on their motorcycle, (never understood that) and living happily ever after. Honestly, if that fantasy were to happen, it wouldn’t go down like that. You would probably be surrounded by debt (due to the costs of the wedding you skipped out on) and probably living in some remote place due to the fact that your jilted groom has probably put a hit on you and your “one true love.” Isn’t it just romantic? (Now I really hope the psychic is going to be wrong!)

Although our relationships may not seem as glamourous as they do in the movies, women (or the women around me at least) need to realize a man does not need to wear a cape or ride a valiant steed to be our hero or knight in shining armor. Honestly, forget movies’ perception of men, and deal with men for how they are and not how you would like them to be. If men did the same thing women did when watching their action movies, they would expect us to have perfect hair and make-up 24/7, an incurable sexual desire, and no PMS.

TWILIGHT

everbody's talking about it.....

The film adaptation is directed by Catherine Hardwicke, the production designer turned director responsible for Thirteen, Lords of Dogtown and The Nativity Story. The story follows Seventeen-year-old Isabella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and finds herself drawn to a mysterious classmate named Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), who is revealed to be a one-hundred-year old vampire. He tries to push her away, but they soon fall in love. When the arrival of another coven of vampires puts Bella in danger, Edward and his family band together to save her before she is killed.

Bella Swan

Isabella “Bella” Marie is the daughter of Charlie Swan and Renee Dwyer. Charlie and Renee were married at a very young age, and Bella was born soon after. After some time they divorced and Bella moved to Phoenix, Arizona with her mother. Bella’s mother eventually married a baseball player named Phil, and this made Bella feel like she was holding her mother back from living a good life. So she decided to move back to Forks, Washington with her father. Once she gets to Forks she meets and falls deeply in love with the a boy named Edward Cullen. She soon finds out that Edwards and his family are vampires but decides to stay with him where they continue to fall deeper for each other. Bella seems to constantly attract problems and disasters wherever she goes, but Edward is always there to save her life. She asks Edward to make her a Vampire on numerous occasions but he always denies her.


Edward Cullen

Edward Anthony Masen Cullen is the human son of Elizabeth and Edward Masen born on June 20, 1901 and died in 1918. Edward suffered from the Spanish Influenza when he was 17 years old. The only one who could save him was a mysterious young doctor named Carlisle Cullen. The only way to keep Edward alive was to transform him into a vampire. Both of Edward’s parents had eventually died from the Influenza pandemic. He was reborn and currently lives in Forks, Washington with his adoptive vampire family. His new parents Esme and Carlisle, and siblings Alice Cullen, Emmett Cullen, Rosalie Hale and Jasper Hale. One day Edward fell deeply in love with a human girl named Bella Swan. In the beginning he was attracted to the unique smell of her blood. The eventual consequence was Edwards inner beast coming out which nearly destroyed him and also everything that he and his family had worked so hard to keep. Edward’s fascination for Bella, soon turns into deep love. Bella always seemed to be getting into a danger and Edward ends up saving her from being hit by a car and then from four strange men. After these events Edward eventually finds himself unable to stay away from her and begins showing her his vampire “powers” and introducing her to his family. Edward has the ability to hear people’s thoughts, but for some reason he can’t seem to hear Bella’s. He hates the fact that Bella wants to become a vampire, and always refuses to make her one when she asks.


Dr.Carlisle Cullen

Dr. Carlisle Cullen is a Vampire who is seen as a father figure to the Cullen family. He was born in the 1640’s and lead an attack on a group of Vampires. He crossed paths with one vampire and ended up getting bitten and turned into one himself. Carlisle hated being a vampire and tried to kill himself in many different ways and obviously failed every time. He became desperate and tried saving himself when he crossed paths with wild animals which he attacked. Carlisle discovered that he could survive off of animal blood instead of humans. Carlisle works in Forks hospital and no longer has a flavor for human blood. One day in the Early 1900s, he came across a teenager suffering from influenza and decided to save him because of his begging mother. So he stole him and turned him in to a vampire which started his Cullen family. Carlisle now married to Esme, and has five adopted children Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper.


Esme Cullen

Esme Cullen is Carlisle’s wife and was once a human as well. Carlisle turned her after she attempted to commit suicide due to her sons death from a lung infection. She is the second person Carlisle turned and is a very loving person. She accepts Bella right away and is grateful for her being there for Edward. She is the adoptive mother to Edward, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett.


Rosalie Hale
Played By Nikki Reed

Rosalie Hale was born into a middle class family in 1915, she had two brothers and was the favorite of the three children. When she was 18 the Great Depression struck, but her father had a stable job at a bank. Rosalie was very lustful and longed for many material possessions and a rich fulfilled life. The richest people in the town she lived in were the Kings. Royce King owned the bank Roslaie’s father worked for. She began dating Royce II and was soon engaged to him. But something was missing, she began to want more from the relationship, like her friend Vera, who had a middle class husband but loved very much along with a child. One night she was on her way home from Vera’s she saw several drunken men. One turned out be Royce and he began showing her off to his friends, he ripped pins from her hair and the men joined in and proceeded to beat and then raped her. She was left to die when Carlisle found her, and chose to save her by changing her. Soon after she killed Royce and his pals without spilling a drop of blood. Two years later she saw Emmett being attacked by a bear and took him back to Carlisle. She begged him to save Emmett, who reminded her of Vera’s child. Soon after they were married. Rosalie and Emmett currently reside in Forks, Washington, but they often live away from the family as a married couple.


Emmett Cullen

Emmett McCarty was born in 1915 and died and reborn in 1935. He was turned by Carlisle after being discovered by his future wife Rosalie. He was attacked by a grizzly bear and was dying. He was adopted into the Cullen family and is now married to Rosalie Hale. Emmet is said to be very tall standing at 6′5”, muscular, very intimidating, and has curly brown hair.


Jasper Hale

Jasper Whitlock also known as Jasper Hale to non-family was born in 1844. He was involved in the Civil War on the Confederate side at the age of 17, but he lied and said he was 20. He was quickly promoted to a Major and served during the 1st Battle of Galveston. While evacuating women and children he saw three women who turned out to be vampires (Nettie, Maria and Lucy). They decided that he would be a perfect member for their vampire army.

He was bitten and trained to kill other newborn vampires and found out the southern vampire world was at war, and were arguing over human hunting grounds. Jasper realized he had the ability to manipulate peoples emotions. The newborn vampires he created with Maria would have to be killed before becoming a year old, due to the fact that they wouldn’t be able to be used as soldiers. Maria always made Jasper do the killing which made him depressed. After a few years he came across a newborn that was strong, his name was Peter. Peters job was to help Jasper dispose of the other children. Peter came across a newborn named Charlotte, whom he fell in love with. Jasper was attached and couldn’t kill Peter so he let them go. One day Peter and Charlotte came back and told Jasper of the life they had, so Jasper went with them to live as nomads. But after feeding he would become depressed once again and eventually left. One day he crosses paths with a woman vampire named Alice Brandon. She told him of their future with the Cullens and he once again had hope. Now Jasper is married with Alice and lives with the Cullens in Forks. He still has trouble with the vegetarian diet his family has mostly because he fed whenever he wanted during the wars. He also has bite scars shaped like moons all over his body because of all the newborns biting him.


Alice Cullen

Alice Cullen was born Mary Alice Brandon and is the adoptive sister of Edward Cullen. She is a petite girl standing at 4′10, but has a very bubbly, witty personality and has short black hair. When Alice was changed she awoke not remembering anything about her human past. Later it is revealed that she was born around 1901 in Biloxi, Mississippi and was kept in an insane asylum because she had spontaneous premonitions. Alice was changed by an old vampire who worked in the asylum in order to protect her from a dangerous tracker vampire named James. After being changed her power of foresight became even stronger. She began having visions of a vampire named Jasper who was seeking a more meaningful existence. She finally meets Jasper at a diner, and she asked him to come with her. He was confused but realized she could be his chance for a better future. They began traveling and fell in love, in the 1950’s they found Carlisle due to her visions, and are now apart of the Cullen family.

i'm an avid fan...

Barack Obama was raised by a single mother and his grandparents. They didn't have much money, but they taught him values from the Kansas heartland where they grew up. He took out loans to put himself through school. After college, he worked for Christian churches in Chicago, helping communities devastated when steel plants closed. Obama turned down lucrative job offers after law school to return to Chicago, leading a successful voter registration drive. He joined a small law firm, taught constitutional law and, guided by his Christian faith, stayed active in his community. Obama and his wife Michelle are proud parents of two daughters, Sasha and Malia.



Early Years
Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961. His father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya, where he grew up herding goats with his own father, who was a domestic servant to the British.

Barack's mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in small-town Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs during the Depression, and then signed up for World War II after Pearl Harbor, where he marched across Europe in Patton's army. Her mother went to work on a bomber assembly line, and after the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through the Federal Housing Program, and moved west to Hawaii.

It was there, at the University of Hawaii, where Barack's parents met. His mother was a student there, and his father had won a scholarship that allowed him to leave Kenya and pursue his dreams in America.

Barack's father eventually returned to Kenya, and Barack grew up with his mother in Hawaii, and for a few years in Indonesia. Later, he moved to New York, where he graduated from Columbia University in 1983.



The College Years
Remembering the values of empathy and service that his mother taught him, Barack put law school and corporate life on hold after college and moved to Chicago in 1985, where he became a community organizer with a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment.

The group had some success, but Barack had come to realize that in order to truly improve the lives of people in that community and other communities, it would take not just a change at the local level, but a change in our laws and in our politics.

He went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for eight years. In 2004, he became the third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate.



Political Career
It has been the rich and varied experiences of Barack Obama's life - growing up in different places with people who had differing ideas - that have animated his political journey. Amid the partisanship and bickering of today's public debate, he still believes in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose - a politics that puts solving the challenges of everyday Americans ahead of partisan calculation and political gain.

In the Illinois State Senate, this meant working with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. He also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama worked with law enforcement officials to require the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.

In the U.S. Senate, he has focused on tackling the challenges of a globalized, 21st century world with fresh thinking and a politics that no longer settles for the lowest common denominator. His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent. He has also been the lead voice in championing ethics reform that would root out Jack Abramoff-style corruption in Congress.

As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans who will need care after Iraq and Afghanistan. Recognizing the terrorist threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, he traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. And knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America's addiction to oil, he's working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels and higher fuel standards in our cars.

Whether it's the poverty exposed by Katrina, the genocide in Darfur, or the role of faith in our politics, Barack Obama continues to speak out on the issues that will define America in the 21st century. But above all his accomplishments and experiences, he is most proud and grateful for his family. His wife, Michelle, and his two daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, live on Chicago's South Side.

luv of my LIFE

" A N A M I E "

What Anamie Means

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic “Type A” personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

this is really MEE...

SERENITY

There is a longer version ( from Ireland)

" God take and receive my liberty,
my memory, my understanding and will,
All that I am and have He has given me

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference

Living one day at a time
Enjoying one moment at a time
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it

Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to his will
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy in the next. AMEN "

How To Live an Exceptional, Superb, and Powerful Life

Implement whatever you can.

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

13. Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk, and let new and flowing energy into your life.

14. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

27. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: “In five years, will this matter?”

28. Forgive everyone for everything.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

35. The best is yet to come.

36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

38. Call your family often.

39. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: “I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________.

touching LIFESTORY

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For
many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's
showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told
him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited
signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the
morning of his graduation his father called him into his private
study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine
son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son
a beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man
opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily,
he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you
give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy
book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in
business.
He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his
father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He
had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make
arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had
passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He
needed to come home immediately and take care things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and
regret filled his heart.

He began to search his father's important papers and
saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With
tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he
read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope
taped behind the Bible.
It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the
sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation,
and the words...PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not
packaged as we expected?

Parable Of The Pencil

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.

"There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."

"One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand."

"Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil."

"Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."

"Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside."

"And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.

"The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.

Now replacing the place of the pencil with you.

Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.

And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.

Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.

Contentment Could Be Happiness

Look back on your life and reflect on the number of times you said to yourself or to others that you "would be happy if you had this, or that, or would be happy if this happened, or that happened".

Examples could be, you are supposed to be happy when you earn a higher salary, or when you buy a new car, or when your health improves, or when you finally find your life partner, the list goes on.

Now, did those things, assuming they really did happen, really make you happier? If yes, how much, and for how long?

Chances are, many times, the happiness faded after some time, you began to take those things for granted, and you started to search for something new to make you happy.

The problem is, this could go on for your whole life, and you will never really be happy, because there are just too many things to attain in this world.

Perhaps, by being content with and appreciative of what you have right now, you would be a lot happier with life.

Contentment doesn't necessarily have to compromise ambition and the desire to improve. You can still seek to better your life. But if you become too obsessed with it, you could find yourself running around in circles, losing touch with the present and forgetting to be happy.

Sometimes, the source of happiness could just be contentment.

Notes on Bugoy:
Bugoy only recently discovered that he had a stage-ready singing voice, and only accidentally.
Coming from an impoverished family in a far-flung area in Camarines Sur, the hard-working farmer’s son went into university with the dream of earning a degree. He payed his tuition through scholarships and earned his pocket money working as janitor, dish washer and other odd jobs.
It must have been a habit for Bugoy to sing while doing menial jobs. But back in the farm where only the cows and the birds could hear him, his voice went unappreciated. It took a friend, who heard him singing while cleaning with a mop, to make Bugoy realize that he could actually carry a tune. Winning school competitions soon emboldened him to dream some more and try out for PDA.
Look where he is now. Pursuing his dream of becoming a singer. Wherever this takes him, Bugoy will has packed enough prayers in his suitcase to see him through. And he has yet another dream… to meet someone he could fall in love with and call his girlfriend. “Para hindi na ako paghinalaang bading.”
