Lilium...First Anniversary.

Each step I take towards happiness,

Is a step closer to you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------


But who will watch my lilies,
When their blossoms open white?
By day the sun shall be sentry,
And the moon and the stars by night!

~The Poets' Journal: The Garden of Roses~

Additional Info:

The lily family has traditionally represented innocence and purity....
White stargazer lilies, in particular, have come to characterize a sense of purity and are often used as an expression of sympathy. The pink varieties are also considered symbolic of wealth and prosperity, as well being as a sign of aspiration.

Of the many different lilies that are available today, the stargazer lily is one of the true stand-outs. Its spectacular blooms, which can range in color from pure white to the more familiar shades of deep pink, can make a definite impression. Its dazzling appearance and seductive scent has resulted in a flower that can really make an entrance. Stargazers are floral celebrities – bold, beautiful and dramatic – and they're sure to make that statement for you, whatever the occasion may be.

As the world passes me by...

*Warning: This is a personal post, so ignore if uninterested*
*
*
*

I can hear the sound of doors being opened, things being moved and footsteps coming from the other side of this wall.

But my eyes remain shut as a heavy presence weighs me down.
I am both awake and asleep. Drifting between consciousness, I recalled many things. Most of which are memories of recent events.

I don't dream anymore lately as I don't sleep very well.
And it makes me a little sad...

I hear my phone alarm and it gets louder. Loud enough for annoyance to overcome the dreary feeling i had earlier.

Turn off? -YES- *beep*

I rest down my mobile and sat upright. I can hear again clearly, the sound of others going about on their everyday lives. As if their body fuels itself on just air.

What is it that they look forward to everyday?
What is their motivation?
It is really motivation that drives a person? Or is it something else?

I know mine clearly and yet...I still feel very lost at times.
In the presence of others, i try to keep up.
My world forces itself to move along with them.
But this only exhausts me further when I'm dealing with my own affairs.

When the attention is no longer with me, I drift off once again.
My smile fades and i gaze unfocused.

Around me is a multitude of people filled with warmth.
Be it their hearts or just their smiles.

And amidst them I stood...a lone figure, cold as stone.

Someday, I will live like them.
But until then, I will be envious of them...

...

It's one of those days again.

Some part within me has frozen over and I can't thaw it back.

And I don't think anyone else can either.

All I can do now is hope that someday, I can feel the warmth of the people and everyday things around me...once again.

Life tips: Getting the female ticks out of your pet

Alright, it isn't exactly what the title says...but if you put a little imagination into your thought, you'd get it.

*Hint: Ticks are parasites yea? and pet is something you love and are committed to.

.....

And so it is actually,

HOW TO:
Stop-Other-Girls-Flirting-with-Your-Boyfriend

So, i was thinking...every girl will probably encounter this problem at least once in their lives, if not once every year depending on the attractiveness level of your catch.

Here's a wiki post on it ...
(Yes, Wiki has it all...!!! Banzai!)


How to Stop Other Girls Flirting with Your Boyfriend

There are girls out there who feel that they can get anything they want, including something that's not available for the taking, like your significant other. Here is a helpful way to keep those girls from ruining your relationship

Steps

  1. Figure out if the girl is just being friendly, or if she's actually looking to wedge herself in between you two. You don't want to cause a scene if she's just trying to be nice.
  2. Make sure your boyfriend isn't egging her on in any way. In fact, if he is shutting down the advances but the girl still persists, suggest that he move away from them at the bar, or stop hanging out with her.
  3. If the girl persists in her shameless flirting, confront her. Tell her calmly but firmly, "I do not like you talking/acting like that around my boyfriend." Make sure she understands that her advances are not welcome now or ever.
  4. If she still persists in her quest to bag your boyfriend (and it can/does happen), be prepared to fight dirty. Name calling, *edit*---can be used---. Try this tried and true phrase, "Look, you little skank, this isn't Baskin Robbins, and he isn't one of the 31 flavors. No samples."
  5. If she still doesn't get the picture, consider voicing the idea of filing harassment charges.


Tips

  • If your boyfriend seems to welcome the advances, or if he seems to be encouraging the behavior, let her have him. (He's not worth it)
  • Don't have loud, attention grabbing arguments with your boyfriend in public, as those tend to draw other women over to "comfort" him.
  • Be calm, yet firm when talking to the unwelcome female. Save your insults for a last ditch effort. If you come out slinging hurtful comments, you're going to look stupid, not her.

End note:

I think the most important thing is not about knowing how to fend them off but instead letting your partner know that you're not comfortable about him being so oblivious to the advances. Guys are just naturally slow in these things and they will just think that you're over-reacting. We understand our species better than them. More often than not, we are usually right. For the guys, it's usually all good fun...until the roles are reversed.

Even if you're good friends, do respect the fact that you remain attached regardless of whether your girlfriend is present or not.

So girls...follow your mind, your intuition, your instincts...and sharpen that tongue.

The best way to euthanize these ticks is by instilling fear and guilt in their mind to the very last brain cell. If she starts screaming at you for explaining simple logic, act surprised and remain calm. Remember, don't disgrace yourself by entering the shouting competition.

Wishing you happiness. Signing off.

Song Collection 19: Lenka

The Show



I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

Slow it down, make it stop or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot to be something I'm not
I'm a fool out of love 'cause I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show

The sun is hot in the sky just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs and synchronize in time
It's a joke nobody knows, they've got a ticket to the show

Yeah, I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show, just enjoy the show

I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show
I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show


Trouble is a Friend



Trouble will find you
No matter where you go (Oh, oh)
No matter if you're fast
No matter if you're slow (Oh, oh)
The eye of the storm
Wanna cry in the morn (Oh, oh)
You're fine for a while
But you start to lose control

He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part

Trouble is a friend yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine (Ahh)

Trouble is a friend
But trouble is a foe (Oh, oh)
And no matter what i feed him
He always seems to grow (Oh, oh)

He sees what i see
And he knows what i know (Oh, oh)
So don't forget
As you ease
on down my road

He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part

Trouble is a friend yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine

So don't be alarmed
If he takes you by the arm
I roll down the window
I'm a sucker for his charm

Trouble is a friend yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine (Ahh)

How i hate the way
He makes me feel

And how i try to make him leave
I try (Oh, oh) I try

But he's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part

Trouble is a friend yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine

So don't be alarmed
If he takes you by the arm
I roll down the window
I'm a sucker for his charm

Trouble is a friend yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine (Ahh)
