Is your true love your "greatest" love?

What is love? Love is the license to have sex. Love is kind, love is not jealous, or does not keep a record of mistakes. Love is the agony of one, the ecstasy of two, and the downfall of three. Definitions can go on and on. But do we really know the real essence of love? Maybe not? Because if humankind knows, why is it most are hurt, many are left behind, and only few real love stories prevail?
There are so many theories: Physiological, Philosophical, or even Biblical. But no amount of human intelligence can really decipher what love is. Love is not only queer that we think it is, but also queerer than we can think.

Infatuation: It is an insanely intense physical attraction. Infatuation is love of emotion. Many young couples tend to believe that what they are feeling is true. The emotion is too strong that it makes them unreasonable. As a result, teeners tend to forget most of the important things in life like education and good future. Their focus is to pursue that intense feeling, that euphoric feeling. But sadly it is just temporary.

I am not saying that this is just for teeners. Many adults still fall into the trap. This is something biochemical thus even if you are married, or in a serious relationship, you can still find your co-worker sexy, and when his leg brushed up against yours, you might want to go out of the friendship zone. The problem with infatuation is it makes you feel good, it's too addictive, BUT it is also short-lived. Usually, when reality sets in, you are already pregnant, you already cheated on your husband, or you already have ruined a precious relationship.

True love: This one involves enduring commitment, maturity, and communicative relationship. Compared to infatuation, true love grows in a natural pace. It does not push but is willing to wait. For infatuation, couples tend to have sex immediately, while true love waits for the perfect moment. Why? Because it respects. It thinks of the highest good of the other person. Thus, a boyfriend must control his urge if you are fertile, if you cannot because you're tired.

If your partner yells at you, or embarrasses you, it is not true love. True love is tact, sensitive, and has social graces. True love does not broadcast to the world the faults of others. If you tend to tell your friends that your boyfriend sucks in bed, then qualify your feelings. True love endures in silence, and it is never self-centered. However, sometimes true love is not enough. Still it falls short. For example couples drift apart because of a long-distance love affair. The heart becomes lonely and true love can't hold on. True love sometimes fails when family matters or economics interject. The family does not accept, religion does not allow, or same sex marriage is prohibited. True love gives way. True love takes years to forget.

Greatest Love: It is similar to true love but great love transcends. Greatest love is timeless. One lifetime is never enough to consume greatest love. This is the type of love that even the universe conspires for that love to happen. It stands above everything. It outdoes distance, generations, and time. It loves even unreturned. It is unconditional, and can even give up life for the loved one. Does it exist? Yes it does. How do I know? I have one. I don't mind marrying this person everyday, and all the more I won't mind giving up my life even if I only have one breath left.

At the end of the day, hold your partner's hand, close your eyes and think, is he my greatest love? If not, you might want to find your greatest love. Remember, the gods conspire for one great love.

Jackman attended Pymble Public School and Knox Grammar School, an all-boys school, where he starred in the musical My Fair Lady in 1985, directed by the headmaster, Dr. Ian Paterson. Jackman was School Captain in 1986 and his favourite subject was Ancient History. The following year he spent a gap year working at Uppingham School in England. Upon his return to Australia he worked at a Shell station in Wahroonga and worked as a part-time clown for children's parties while studying at the University of Technology, Sydney. In 1989, Jackman participated in a Christian workcamp on Haast's Bluff and Areyonga Aboriginal land in the Western Desert in Central Australia. He then graduated with a BA in Communications, having majored in journalism. He later used his inheritance from his grandmother to attend the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts of Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia, from which he graduated in 1994.

Career
Australia
Jackman's early film work includes Erskineville Kings and Paperback Hero (1999), while his television work includes Correlli (where he met his wife Deborra-Lee Furness), Law of the Land, Halifax f.p., Blue Heelers, and Banjo Paterson's The Man from Snowy River (American title: Snowy River: The McGregor Saga).
On stage, Jackman played Gaston in the Melbourne production of Beauty and the Beast, and Joe Gillis in the same city's production of Sunset Boulevard. During his stage musical career in Melbourne, he starred in the 1998 Midsumma festival cabaret production Summa Cabaret. He also hosted both Melbourne's Carols by Candlelight and Sydney's Carols in the Domain.
In 2006, he was cast to replace Russell Crowe in Baz Luhrmann's Australia, starring opposite Nicole Kidman.

United Kingdom
He first became known outside of Australia when he played the leading role of Curly in the Royal National Theatre's acclaimed stage production of Oklahoma! in the West End during 1998. Jackman also appeared in a 1999 film version of the stage musical.

United States
In 2000, he was cast as Wolverine in Bryan Singer's X-Men, replacing Dougray Scott. According to a CBS interview in November 2006, Jackman's wife Deborra-Lee Furness told him not to take the role, a comment she later told him she was glad he ignored.
Jackman, at 6' 2 1/2", stands nearly a foot taller than Wolverine, who is said in the original comic book to be 5' 3". Hence, the filmmakers were frequently forced to shoot Jackman at unusual angles or only from the waist up to make him appear shorter than he actually was. In an interview with Men's Health magazine, he stated that he was also required to add a great deal of muscle for the role. An instant star upon the film's release, Jackman later reprised his role in 2003's X2: X-Men United, and 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand.
Jackman starred as Leopold in the 2001 romantic comedy film Kate & Leopold, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. Jackman also starred in 2001 action/drama Swordfish, along with John Travolta, and Halle Berry. This would be the second time Jackman would work alongside with Berry, the two would work together twice again in the X-Men movies, making a total of four movies starring Jackman and Berry from 2000 to 2006.
Jackman sang the role of Billy Bigelow in Carousel in a special concert performance at Carnegie Hall in Manhattan, New York City in 2002. In 2004 he played the title role of vampire hunter Gabriel Van Helsing in Van Helsing. In 2004, Jackman won a Tony Award for his Broadway portrayal of Australian songwriter and performer Peter Allen in The Boy from Oz. He hosted the Tony Awards in 2003, 2004 and 2005, garnering very positive reviews. The televising of the 2004 awards earned him an Emmy Award win for Outstanding Individual Performer in a Variety, Musical or Comedy program in 2005.
In 2005 after his award-winning role in The Boy from Oz, Jackman began filming his most challenging role to date. Jackman played the part of three different characters in Darren Aronofsky's sci-fi experience The Fountain. As Tommy Creo a neuroscientist, Jackman played a man who was torn between his wife, Izzi (Rachel Weisz) who is dying of a brain tumor and his work at trying to cure her. As Captain Tomas Creo, a Spanish Conquistador in the year 1532, Savile, Spain who is seeking the mythical Tree of Life for his Queen, Isabel (also played by Weisz) in order to retain her throne. Tomas is a character in the book Izzi is writing called The Fountain, and finally, as the future space traveller Tom enclosed in a transparent treeship seeking to be reunited with Izzi within a dying star called Xibalba. Jackman has stated The Fountain was his most difficult role to date due to the physical and emotional demands his director asked of him in the part. In the end, The Fountain wasn't well received and Jackman went un-rewarded.
Not one to stop working, Jackman filmed The Prestige directed by Christopher Nolan and also starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, Andy Serkis, and musician David Bowie. As Robert Angier, Jackman portrayed a magician who built up a rivalry with contemporary Alfred Borden in attempt to 'one up' each other in the art of deception. Jackman stated his main reason for doing The Prestige was to work with David Bowie, who played scientist Nikola Tesla. He also starred in another 2006 film with Scarlett Johansson, Woody Allen's Scoop.
Jackman rounded out 2006 with two animated films: Happy Feet in which he voiced the part of Memphis, an Emperor Penguin and directed by George Miller, and Flushed Away where Jackman also supplied the voice of a rat named Roddy who ends up being flushed down his Kensington family's toilet into the London sewer system. Flushed Away also starred Kate Winslet, Ian McKellen (the fourth time Jackman has worked with him), Jean Reno, Andy Serkis and Bill Nighy.
Jackman has been mentioned several times in the extremely popular American sitcom "Scrubs". Throughout the series, Dr. Perry Cox, portrayed by John C. McGinley, signifies his seemingly irrational hatred of Jackman through his infamous rants.
In 2007, Jackman produced and guest starred in the unsuccessful television drama Viva Laughlin. Viva Laughlin was cancelled by CBS after only two episodes. A decision about the remaining episodes already filmed at the time of cancellation has yet to be made. Both Jackman and his wife Furness were shocked and saddened by this cancellation.
Jackman is also preparing a number of movies which he will both produce and star in, including Wolverine, estimated to begin filming in early 2008, and a remake of Carousel in which he will play Billy Bigelow.
Jackman was also one of the choices to play James Bond but eventually lost out to Daniel Craig He is also currently working on a new comic series, Nowhere Man, with US publisher Virgin Comics and writer Marc Guggenheim. Jackman was chosen as People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive of 2008.

Personal life
Jackman married Deborra-Lee Furness in April 1996. They met on the set of his first TV acting job in Correlli, an Australian television series. Furness had two miscarriages, after which she and Jackman adopted two children, Oscar Maximillian (b. May 15, 2000) and Ava Eliot (b. July 10, 2005). They currently live in Sydney. Jackman personally designed an engagement ring for Furness, and their wedding rings bore the Sanskrit inscription "Om paramar mainamar", translated by Furness as "we dedicate our union to a greater source". In 2005, Jackman joined with longtime assistant John Palermo to form a production company, Seed Productions, whose first project was Viva Laughlin in 2007. Furness is also involved in the company, and Palermo had three rings made with an inscription meaning "unity" for himself, Furness, and Jackman. About the trio's collaboration Jackman reports "I'm very lucky in the partners I work with in my life, Deb and John Palermo. It really works. We all have different strengths. I love it. It's very exciting". Jackman is a longtime supporter of Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, a NRL Rugby League club based in Sydney. He sang the national anthem at the 1999 NRL Grand Final. In an interview with Playboy Jackman mentioned that as a result of his hard training for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he broke his personal best for bench-pressing which was 300 pounds.

Are you alone on February 14th?...

Chinese New Year was just celebrated by the Chinese people around the globe. Now, Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. Valentine's Day is the day to express your love, and to celebrate the spirit of love. Love is a wonderful feeling. And what better way to convey it than with music? Mere words are seldom adequate to describe the different feelings in love, be it the joy, the passion or the ardour. May St. Valentine's blessings shower on you and your sweet one!
The origins of Valentine's Day, like the origins of love itself, are somewhat obscure — a combination of myth, history, destiny, chance and marketing.

Legend has it that a certain third-century priest named Valentine persisted in performing marriage ceremonies despite a ban by the Roman emperor Claudius II (Claudius was persuaded that single men made better soldiers for his army). Thrown into jail, Valentine formed a relationship with his jailor's daughter (some say he cured her blindness) and he signed his last message to her "From your Valentine," a phrase which still gets a lot of mileage.

St. Valentine was executed on February 14, circa the year 270, and his remains (probably his, but there were two other Christian martyrs called Valentine) are now on display in the Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin.

There are many symbols that are attached with Valentine’s day and with expression of love.
HEART -- It was formerly believed that the heart was the seat of all human emotions. Accordingly, the gifting of a heart signified the selfless act of giving everything to someone you love. Though the ancients were not aware that the heart was responsible for pumping blood though the circulatory system, yet they knew one thing for sure that the heart was the center of all feelings. This ancient belief has lingered on through the ages.

Ribbons, Laces and Frills -- Ribbons and laces have been associated with love and romance since the days when a knight used to ride into a battle sporting the scarf or handkerchief presented to him by his ladylove. In the bygone times, laces were used making women's handkerchiefs. It was also usual for a lady to drop her handkerchief in the path of the man whose attention she wished to draw.

CUPID -- The love and attraction that a man and a lady feels for one another is traditionally ascribed to the mythological god, Cupid. In Latin, the word Cupid means "desire." Cupid is represented as a naked, chubby boy with wings and possessing a mischievous smile. He carries a bow with a quiver of arrows which he uses to transfix the hearts of youths and maidens.


The ROSES -- From time immemorial, beloveds have been compared to roses. If we juggle the letters of the word ROSE we get EROS, who is the God of Love. Rose has thus been the traditional choice of lovers around the world. The color red is associated with strong emotions and below are listed sentiments expressed by different hues of rose:
Tea Roses -- "I'll Remember Always"
Lavender -- Enchantment and Uniqueness
Orange -- Fascination
Pink (Dark) -- Thankfulness, Friendship and Admiration
Red -- Love, Respect and Courage
Peach -- Modesty, Gratitude, Admiration and Sympathy
Pink (Pale) -- Grace, Joy and Happiness
Deep Red -- Beauty and Passion
White -- Innocence, Purity, Secrecy, Silence, Reverence, Humility and (according to some sources) True Love
Yellow -- Joy, Friendship, Jealousy, Hope and Freedom
Black -- Farewell
Peach -- Modesty, Gratitude, Admiration and Sympathy Pink (Pale) -- Grace, Joy and Happiness
Red/White -- Unity or Engagement
Yellow/Orange -- Passionate Thoughts
Yellow/Red -- Congratulations
Rosebud -- Beauty, Youth and a Heart Innocent of Love
Red Rosebud -- Purity and Loveliness
White Rosebud -- Girlhood
One Dozen Red Roses -- "I Love You"
Single Red Rose in Full Bloom -- "I Love You"

HANDS -- The hands of a lady has been a favorite decoration for Valentine's Day for many years and is suppose to depict "femininity". To add to its beauty, the hand is often decorated with frilly cuff and a jeweled ring on the third finger. A lady's hands was a favorite decoration that depicted "femininity." Its beauty was enhanced by adding a frilly cuff and a jeweled ring on the third finger. Clasped hands are said to represent those of Queen Victoria and her consort, Prince Albert...the symbol of friendship between their respective countries of England and Germany.

DOVES and LOVE BIRDS -- It was the popular belief that birds chose their mate for the year on February 14.Since doves and pigeons mate for life ,they symbolize loyalty, fidelity and love. Lovebirds, the small birds with colorful plumage, commonly found in Africa, are so called because they tend to get cozy with each other and can't survive without each other. pairs. Doves...common urban birds, shy and gentle by nature, with a distinctive "cooing" call...symbolize loyalty, fidelity and love .

LOVE KNOTS -- They are made of ribbons and are traditional symbols of interminable and everlasting love.





History of VALENTINE’S DAYAs early as the fourth century B.C., the Romans engaged in an annual young man's rite to passage to the God Lupercus. The names of the teenage women were placed in a box and drawn at random by adolescent men; thus, a man was assigned a woman companion for the duration of the year, after which another lottery was staged. After eight hundred years of this cruel practice, the early church fathers sought to end this practice... They found an answer in Valentine, a bishop who had been martyred some two hundred years earlier.According to church tradition St. Valentine was a priest near Rome in about the year 270 A.D. At that time the Roman Emperor Claudius-II who had issued an edict forbidding marriage.This was around when the heyday of Roman empire had almost come to an end. Lack of quality administrators led to frequent civil strife. Learning declined, taxation increased, and trade slumped to a low, precarious level. And the Gauls, Slavs, Huns, Turks and Mongolians from Northern Europe and Asian increased their pressure on the empire's boundaries. The empire was grown too large to be shielded from external aggression and internal chaos with existing forces. Thus more of capable men were required to be recruited as soldiers and officers. When Claudius became the emperor, he felt that married men were more emotionally attached to their families, and thus, will not make good soldiers. So to assure quality soldiers, he banned marriage.Valentine, a bishop , seeing the trauma of young lovers, met them in a secret place, and joined them in the sacrament of matrimony. Claudius learned of this "friend of lovers," and had him arrested. The emperor, impressed with the young priest's dignity and conviction, attempted to convert him to the roman gods, to save him from certain execution. Valentine refused to recognize Roman Gods and even attempted to convert the emperor, knowing the consequences fully.On February 24, 270, Valentine was executed."From your Valentine"While Valentine was in prison awaiting his fate, he came in contact with his jailor, Asterius. The jailor had a blind daughter. Asterius requested him to heal his daughter. Through his faith he miraculously restored the sight of Asterius' daughter. Just before his execution, he asked for a pen and paper from his jailor, and signed a farewell message to her "From Your Valentine," a phrase that lived ever after.Valentine thus become a Patron Saint, and spiritual overseer of an annual festival. The festival involved young Romans offering women they admired, and wished to court, handwritten greetings of affection on February 14. The greeting cards acquired St.Valentine's name.The Valentine's Day card spread with Christianity, and is now celebrated all over the world. One of the earliest card was sent in 1415 by Charles, duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. The card is now preserved in the British Museum.

Why Friday the 13th Is Unlucky

The Unluckiest Day of All - The astute reader will have observed that while we have thus far insinuated any number of intriguing connections between events, practices and beliefs attributed to ancient cultures and the superstitious fear of Fridays and the number 13, we have yet to happen upon an explanation of how, why or when these separate strands of folklore converged — if that is indeed what happened — to mark Friday the 13th as the unluckiest day of all.
There's a very simple reason for that — nobody really knows, though various explanations have been proposed.

Bad FridayLEGEND HAS IT: Never change your bed on Friday; it will bring bad dreams. Don't start a trip on Friday or you will have misfortune. If you cut your nails on Friday, you cut them for sorrow. Ships that set sail on a Friday will have bad luck – as in the tale of H.M.S. Friday . One hundred years ago, the British government sought to quell once and for all the widespread superstition among seamen that setting sail on Fridays was unlucky. A special ship was commissioned, named "H.M.S. Friday." They laid her keel on a Friday, launched her on a Friday, selected her crew on a Friday and hired a man named Jim Friday to be her captain. To top it off, H.M.S. Friday embarked on her maiden voyage on a Friday, and was never seen or heard from again.

Some say Friday's bad reputation goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden.
It was on a Friday, supposedly, that Eve tempted Adam with the forbidden fruit. Adam bit, as we all learned in Sunday School, and they were both ejected from Paradise. Tradition also holds that the Great Flood began on a Friday; God tongue-tied the builders of the Tower of Babel on a Friday; the Temple of Solomon was destroyed on a Friday; and, of course, Friday was the day of the week on which Christ was crucified. It is therefore a day of penance for Christians.
In pagan Rome, Friday was execution day (later Hangman's Day in Britain), but in other pre-Christian cultures it was the sabbath, a day of worship, so those who indulged in secular or self-interested activities on that day could not expect to receive blessings from the gods — which may explain the lingering taboo on embarking on journeys or starting important projects on Fridays.

To complicate matters, these pagan associations were not lost on the early Church, which went to great lengths to suppress them. If Friday was a holy day for heathens, the Church fathers felt, it must not be so for Christians — thus it became known in the Middle Ages as the "Witches' Sabbath," and thereby hangs another tale.

13: The Devil's DozenLEGEND HAS IT: If 13 people sit down to dinner together, all will die within the year. The Turks so disliked the number 13 that it was practically expunged from their vocabulary (Brewer, 1894). Many cities do not have a 13th Street or a 13th Avenue. Many buildings don't have a 13th floor. If you have 13 letters in your name, you will have the devil's luck (Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Theodore Bundy and Albert De Salvo all have 13 letters in their names). There are 13 witches in a coven.

Though no one can say for sure when and why human beings first associated the number 13 with misfortune, the belief is assumed to be quite old, and there exist any number of theories — all of which have been called into question at one time or another, I should point out — purporting to trace its origins to antiquity and beyond. It has been proposed, for example, that fears surrounding the number 13 are as ancient as the act of counting. Primitive man had only his 10 fingers and two feet to represent units, this explanation goes, so he could count no higher than 12. What lay beyond that — 13 — was an impenetrable mystery to our prehistoric forebears, hence an object of superstition.

Why do guys wake up with a hard-on?

It's common for men to have erections during the night -- a phenomenon known as nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) -- throughout their life. In fact, the penis can actually stay erect longer and be noticeably harder when a guy is asleep than when he's fully aroused and awake.

While we don't know exactly why NPT happens, we do know these erections -- a guy can have three to five a night -- are caused by electrical impulses in the brain that tend to occur during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stages of sleep. So, when your dude comes out of the REM cycle when he first wakes up, he may have a still have a raging boner. But it isn't necessarily synonymous with excitement. If he is feeling randy in the morning, chances are it's because of his testosterone level, which can peak in the A.M.

Pinoy Version

• Wag Mong Pigilan (Awit ng Tugtugan) (Don't Stop The Music)
• Sugat Sa Puso (Bleeding Love)
• Isisi Mo Sa Akin (Sorry, Blame It On Me)
• Sundalong Bata (Crank That)

Pinoy is a demonym used by Filipinos for their compatriots in the Philippines and around the world. Filipinos usually refer to themselves informally as Pinoy or some times feminine: Pinay, which is formed by taking the last four letters of the word 'Filipino' and adding the diminutive suffix -y. The word was coined by expatriate Filipino Americans during the 1920s and was later adopted by Filipinos in the Philippines.

Pinoy is a term of endearment and is rarely used in formal settings. The term is akin to that of a nickname which is used by close family members and friends so that one who uses it somehow already developed some close ties with Filipinos.

How to Use Colors to Change Your Mood

We all have good moods, ambivalent and even bad moods. This is part of life, but did you know that you can use color to change your mood? In most cases people who are interested in using color to change their mood want to change their mood from a negative one to a positive one, and color is one of the best ways to do this. The interesting thing about using color to change our moods is that it is so subtle. In fact most people don’t even realize that when they put on their red suit,they are increasing their feeling of control and power over their lives or that they want to give the appearance of this to others. It is a fact that some colors are more stimulating than others. So choosing your color schemes carefully if you want to use color as a tool to change your mood is crucial. Read on to learn more.

Things You’ll Need:
• A tablet
• A pen or pencil
• An idea of your favorite colors

Step 1 - Make a list of your favorite colors.
Step 2 - Next to each color list the feeling that it gives you when you wear it, or see it. This may be difficult to put into words and some colors may evoke more than one feeling, just do the best you can to put a label to the feeling(s).
Step 3 - Make an inventory of your home. Go into each room and note which colors you or someone else has chosen to decorate a room.
Step 4 - Make a list of each room in your home and next to it, list the colors used to decorate that room.
Step 5 - Next go to your closet and look at each piece of clothing. Make a list with each item and the color it is. Also make a separate list with your accessories and shoes as well.
Step 6 - Compare your list of favorite colors and the feelings they evoke with the other lists.
Step 7 - Now make a list of what you want to be feeling in each room of your home. If the colors in each room don’t match the feeling(s) you are trying to evoke in that particular room then rearrange the items in all the rooms of your home until they do. Replace items and repaint rooms as necessary to get the mood you are looking for.
Step 8 - Now take a look at your clothing, shoes and accessories lists. Are your favorite colors there? Do your clothes give or evoke the moods you need for the occasions they are for? If not begin getting rid of those clothes whose colors make you feel badly or even just ambivalent. Replace them with colors that evoke the moods you want. Do the same thing with your shoes and accessories.

Tips & Warnings:
• Moods are like clothes, they change all the time. Don’t be afraid to experiment with new colors, or to play with the colors you already have to give different moods.

• Don’t go out and spend thousands replacing items in your home or your closet. If you cannot get the moods you are looking for right away with what you already have then begin slowly and carefully replacing items as you can afford to. Even a few new items in the colors you want will begin to shift your mood towards the positive.

• Try to work with what you already have. Chances are you already have items in the colors that evoke the moods you are seeking, so use these items first before going out and buying new things.

• Shop at thrift stores. It’s amazing what kinds of great things you can find at thrift stores. The fact is you don’t have to purchase anything new, check out your local thrift store because you just never know what you might find!

• A few colors and their emotional associations are as follows. Generally speaking red evokes feelings of danger, desire, strength, and even violence or anger, it is very stimulating. Blue evokes feelings of calmness, tranquility, and trust. Black because of its bad reputation evokes feelings of evil, darkness, and unhappiness, although this can vary from culture to culture. In Native American culture the color black represents the womb of Mother Earth and as such does not evoke bad feelings at all. Green simulates moods of vitality, health, calm and soothing, but it is also associated with jealousy and envy. Like other colors yellow has both positive and negative emotional associations. It can evoke feelings of happiness, joy, and hope, but it also has associations with cowardice and jealousy.

• While there are standard guidelines for what sorts of moods colors evoke, be aware that there are people for whom these standard guidelines don’t fit. For example, red tends to be a stimulating color, but for those who have Asian heritage it may in fact be calming as this is a cultural more that those of this culture are taught. So, if you find that blue stimulates you rather than calms you, or that red makes you angry rather than making you feel powerful and on top of things then go with that. Otherwise you may evoke the opposite mood to what you are going for and end up being pretty miserable.

How to Be an Alpha Male

Alpha Males give off such a sexy vibe that women can't help but be drawn to them. They display dominant, masculine behaviors that are extremely attractive. Follow these easy steps to be the Sexy Alpha Male and get everything you want! And yeah, I know you're thinking "What does SHE know?" Well, I know what I and most women LOVE... it's that Sexy Alpha Male. :-)

Things You’ll Need:
• Self-Awareness
• Courage
• A Sense of Humor
• Your Own Life

Step 1 - HAVE A LIFE THAT YOU ARE PROUD OF
... one that you invite others to share with you.
Be completely comfortable and content with all of your relationships.
Alpha Males are sexy because they don't depend onanyone else to tell them 'who they are'. An Alpha Male is first a MAN. A man works hard for what he has. A man takes the lead in situations, from his career to in the dating arena. A man is responsible and accountable for all of his actions. The Sexy Alpha Male is proud of who he is and what he does. Because of this, he is confident; and we all feel more comfortable around and attracted to those who are confident.

Step 2 - USE YOUR MIND TO CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS
Alpha Males may be emotional, but they do not show it. They are able to control their emotions through their sense of reason and good grasp of reality.
A man who has no control of his emotions... like "anger", "anxiety", or "embarrassment"... is NOT sexy. Take an objective view of every situation. Act as though you are a 'watcher' standing outside of yourself. When you do this, you will show that you are in control of yourself. A man who is in control of himself, and doesn't sweat the small stuff, is incredibly sexy.

Step 3 - BUY SOME GOOD COLOGNE
I can’t stress this enough, but your sexual scent is one of the most important parts of being sexy. Try on a few different cologne, after-shave, and deodorant combos until you get one that is uniquely YOU. Watch how people respond to you when you are wearing certain fragrances. Since a lot of women are NOT attracted to looks alone, the way you smell makes a huge difference in how sexy they find you.

Step 4 - LET WOMEN KNOW THAT YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO THEM SEXUALLY
This is so important if you want to stay out of the Friend Zone with a certain someone. You make women aroused when you show sexual desire and act like you want them. But of course, you can't do this in a 'creepy' way. :-) Just be natural and have fun with it. Throw sexual innuendos into the conversation. Check out attractive women as they walk by... Have a little bit of that testosterone-driven-on-the-hunt-for-chicks vibe. A man who's not afraid to show that he likes women is SEXY.

Step 5 - BE MASCULINE WITH A HINT OF SOMETHING ELSE
Think James Bond or Simon Cowell and mix it with something else. Masculine geek. Masculine violinist. Masculine playwright. Mix masculinity with something a tad softer. People who pull this off: Will Smith, Tim McGraw, even Alex Trebek from Jeopardy has this. Try it. It will give you an air of depth... as long as you remember mostly MASCULINE + HINT of something else.

Step 6 - STARE INTO PEOPLES' EYES
Don’t hold back… especially after you say something that you really mean. Maintaining confident eye contact is a key component of attraction. Not only does the person you are speaking with feel 'heard', but you are also showing DOMINANCE. Male dominance is sexy.

Step 7 - CHECK YOUR POSTURE
Yep, your mom and your elementary school teachers were unknowingly preparing you to be sexy in the future. :-) "Head up, shoulders back, good posture, no fidgeting." That's right.

Step 8 - SAY WHAT YOU THINK, WANT, AND NEED
Disagree with people if necessary. Stand up for yourself. Decide that your opinions matter and then express them. Be unashamedly unpredictable. Since most people have a hard time articulating their needs and wants (and worse yet, are afraid to stand by their convictions) you become a break from the norm by speaking your mind.
"A break from the norm" perfectly describes a Sexy Alpha Male.

Step 9 - FIND YOUR BEST QUALITY AND SHOW IT... ALL OF THE TIME
If you have strong shoulders, show them in a nicely tailored jacket. If you have a beautiful mind, talk about what you dream about. Work whatever you’ve got.
When you focus on the really great things about yourself, the other things fade into oblivion. You are only sexy in others' eyes if you are sexy in your own eyes first. So focus your attention on what's awesome about you, and others will pick up on it.

Step 10 - MAKE THE DECISION TO LOVE YOURSELF
You become sexy with this one simple tip. When you love yourself first, you will be coming to people out of an overflow of joy rather than neediness.
Choosing to love YOU makes others follow suit. So fall in love with you and be the Sexy Alpha Male who gets everything he wants!

How to be a Ralph Lauren Polo Model (or at least look like One!)

Ok a topic for the week... "How to ride the mechanical bull better than Travolta in Urban Cowboy?" or "How to stay fit at 50..." or "how to use Slimfast" to supplement your diet or"how to be sexy enough to model for Ralph Lauren or how to purchase your first Acoustic Guitar? Well without another thought let's take that journey!

Things You’ll Need:
• Money for your first guitar.. $200 or 4,0000 YEN! Because at that price, it's gonna have to be made in Asia!
• Bring it On! ..Attitude!
• Physical Endurance, Mental Separation!
• A Model for a girlfriend, Fitness or Aerobic Women to gossip with.. (it pays off later, be patient)
• The best Haircut you can afford!
• SlimFast for the Quickness!
• Bar or Night Club with a Mechanical Bull..
• Surround youself with Positive people, Young and Older!

Step 1 - Colorful Martin Guitar! Big Fun.. You want a Good Acoustic Guitar! It's a must that you are able to play it! Start working' on that now, it isn't that hard.. You look for a Solid Wood Acoustic. "Solid Back and Sides Wood" ..Meaning, not a laminated! Craigslist is loaded with acoustic guitars, just copy and paste the models # of the guitars you find into google and find out if they meet that criteria! Now you have something to be creative with and attracted to by others! You are on your way by working hard, at your accomplishments too.. that's right, being a "Polo" model!

Step 2 - Required Polo Model Hatwear.. everyday use and natural, yeah? Find a Job that uses all or most of your body muscle groups! Focusing on the body core.. Legs and Arms will come naturally! I used my Job at the CVS stores, as a set-up person for new stores! I carried and pushed and stretched and rotated my core body, as I did my days work and then supplemented at the gym for cardio etc.

Step 3 - Real Cowboys make better Models when they get older and wiser!
After working that hard and being fed so much BS.. from co-workers, (That's wear the mental separation, comes in!) You go out to a Tough Local Bar in the Quad Cities, Iowa.. with a friend and avoiding alcohol, you mount that "Mechanical Bull" and pull yourself up forward on the seat, until your hand and the underside of your pelvic girdle is almost on top of the Hand Hold of the saddle! So, one hand grips the Hand Hold of the Saddle and the other hand is up in the Air (like reaching for the stars) and ready to counter balance any quick movements, left or right.. the up or down moves belong to how flexible you can slide back and forward on the saddle with the grip you have taken! Ride with the legs Gripping, but not so intense that you forget about the fact that riding a Bull is more about balance than strength! Where were we.. Ok, You can have that drink now, but don't get mouthy in the Local Bar! If you ride the Bull.. you won't have to prove yourself in any other way! Just get your stuff and walk out! That's better than Travolta any way you look at it!

Step 4 - Be friendly with the competition.. they hired me too!
* So you've bought a guitar, worked in the field, listened to your girlfriend (The original model) and her Aerobic girlfriends talking shop.. and then steal their Modeling agent's phone number.. The ladies really doing the modeling are coy about giving out their Agents phone numbers.. but not usually to a Guy.. so get the number and set-up a meeting or go to where their shooting. Look like a well dressed Man, not boy! New.. Well fitting Jeans, White Shirt, Short Sleeves, rolled up! no tie, no hat.. Show of that great hair... (keep your hair longer at first guys, you can always cut it down if the camera shots dictate that) To tell you the truth, I always knew I could work for Hugo Boss if Polo didn't work out, don't worry, stay strong! Show that Confidence! They can feel it!

Tips & Warnings:
• Really, you have to listen to the women on this one guys.. networking is good.. I even married one of the informants! LOL
• Stay Physical, active and well groomed, just for your own satisfaction, although everybody benefits!
• Be a tough guy, get strong, but walk with small children.. and kiss your mother's cheek and hold her in your arms!
• Don't get too strong and tough.. and then be hard, that's a big mistake!
• Work from within the system, looking for opportunities as they come.. don't force anything!
• Be Patient, but not Lethargic.. You have got to get a "head up" on this game!
• Don't hurt yourself! Never hurt or fail anybody else, when you can just exuse yourself and make it easier!

How to Become an Artist (or Just Look Like One)

Things You’ll Need:
• Money
• Pen
• Vintage clothes
• Dirty hair
• Coffee
• Art supplies in your chosen medium
• Black clothes
• Chuck Taylor shoes
• Paper
Step 1 - Choose an artistic medium.
Step 2 - Purchase the tools necessary to create in your chosen medium.
Step 3 - Learn how to use your artistic tools, at least well enough to fake it if necessary, or talk as if you know something about them.
Step 4 - Study the work of artists who work in your chosen medium, memorize the names of three or four, and the name of their least recognizable and disdained work, which you will tout as a masterpiece and misunderstood.
Step 5 - Lower your hygiene standards; artists have oily hair, dirty clothes and reek of genius, and two days without a shower.
Step 6 - Buy your clothes from resale stores, thrift shops or expensive trendy vintage clothing stores (but don’t admit the last one if you want to keep your artist cred).
Step 7 - Haunt coffee shops late at night, with a hollow-eyed gaze, and the stains from your chosen medium covering your clothing, hands and anything else appropriate.
Step 8 - When you are otherwise not engaged in café haunting, art supply shopping, or picking up chicks and/or dudes, try to make some good art.

Tips & Warnings:
• Choose an artistic medium with your budget and studio space in mind: becoming a wood turner requires heavy, expensive equipment and some room, while the watercolorist can create in cramped conditions at a bargain price.
• Research the artists in your chosen medium at the library or nearest bookstore; no need to spend money on art texts, just bring a pad of paper and take notes.
• If you cannot bear to go without a shower for days, employ one of the bevy of products available to give your hair that “I just crawled out of bed and "couldn't care less what you think" look.
• Black cotton, orange and day-glo green polyester simply scream “artist” these days, as do screen-printed T-shirts and the ubiquitous Chuck Taylors (see Resources below for Converse shoes).
• Consider getting a day job that supports your artist identity: waiter/waitress, barista, art supply clerk, nanny, dog walker and morgue attendant are popular options.
• Don’t quit your day job if you’re lucky enough to have one; artists are notoriously underpaid, even real artists have to work hard to keep bread on the table, much less poseurs without artistic ambition.
• Don’t overuse your art as a pick-up line or you may become a running gag among the single scene, “Oh, here comes that guy again, the one who says he’s an Artist.”

How to Seem Cool Even When You Are Not

Americans have always had some sort of a fascination over being cool. It used to be the Fonz and James Dean, now it is more like Tom Brady for his excellence in throwing a football. All of us have at least a small amount of cool going on; however, there are ways to overcome what you lack. Follow these suggestions on how to seem cool even when you are not.

Step 1 - Keep up with the latest trends in buzzwords. Most cool people talk like they are from another planet, with made up words like technosexual, aquadextrous and connectile dysfunction. Other cool people will know exactly what you are talking about, even though you really haven’t got a clue. You can keep informed of the latest cool buzzwords at webdoh.com, because you should actually know what they mean before using them (see Resources below).
Step 2 - Tell people that you are from a city that is much cooler than the one that you are in. Some cities just seem to be cooler than others because they have so much more to offer. So try to think of an extremely cool and hip locale to say that you are from, instead of the Podunk town you really came from.
Step 3 - Make your career something cool sounding. Even if you have to add a word or two to your existing job title, people will think you are cool, if you have a cool sounding job title. In today’s media mania, any type of job in the media industry would have people fascinated to even know you. It sounds more exciting to be an online creative media strategist, than a simple title of writer. Add words like digital, creative and manager to sound more important.
Step 4 - Get an accent. Something is very intriguing about a foreign accent that creates an aura of irresistible mystery. Be sure to research the accent before using it or you may come off looking quite uncool. Irish accents are fairly easy to copy and they give an impression of charm and sophistication.
Step 5 - Keep your cool and maintain composure under pressure. The saying goes to never let them see you sweat, but you don’t want them to smell you either, so lather good with a nice smelling wash and use plenty of deodorant. Staying cool under pressure means to avoid looking ruffled when faced with the unknown. There’s no need to try to get all of the attention either, because you will make yourself look needy. You will seem cool, even if you are not, if you practice patience and let the party, so to speak, come to you.
