Clubbing 101 (For the ladies)

Photo SourceThis is for all those single pringles - sorry I've been neglecting you.This is obviously not the only way to meet people but somehow people opt for this setting because it's the easiest to meet people - when they're intoxicated... and well even if you don't admit it, when you go clubbing, you have a slight desire to meet someone whether or not you retain them as a friend or more than

The Key to a Healthy Argument

Photo SourceSome say that when a relationship is all too dandy, there's something wrong. After a certain length in a relationship, there's gotta be one instance, or a couple instances in which the couple ticks each other off and then pride kicks in.Although I'm not the biggest fan of arguments for it makes me sad, angry, and all those negative emotions, I do believe that an argument can

It Is Finished

***Note: the following is an assignment for a course. Those may be the words of Jesus Christ himself, but will they be the final words that radio, television, and print in the near future?Here's what I think...Radio.Photo SourceA great invention in that it was created to communicate beyond distance with numerous people tuning in at the same time. I don't think radio will completely cease as we

Rule of Seven

***Although I only barely make the cut (haha), forgive me if I may sound hypocritical.And of course age is SOMETIMES just a number, and just because people grow old doesnt necessarily mean that they grow up.But the for the sake of discussion, here we go.Guys, the youngest girl you should date (for legal reasons and maturity reasons), is your age divided by two plus seven. For example, if you are

Mr./Ms. Perfect

Photo SourcePhoto SourceWhether we realize it or not, in the midst of our search of "the one" we subtly find ourselves developing our list of criteria of what we want in the other - tall, short, dark, pale, thin, toned, ambitious, religious, not religious, etc. and the list really never ends.That person must have to be the complete package - your checklist complete.I beg to differ. The greatest

Beautiful?

Photo SourceI remember listening to a radio show a while back when they were talking about Kate Beckinsale. Now if you don't know what Kate Beckinsale looks like, you're missing out. She has a very cute, yet beautiful look to her and leaves me in a state of mixed jealousy and admiration.Now the radio hosts were talking about how Kate described her relationship with her husband - she always

Pros and Cons of Cohabitation

Photo SourceI am a firm believer that cohabitation should only occur after an engagement and likewise, within a reasonable engagement period. Though sleepovers and "weekend cottages" may occur, it's not the same idea.I read an article on CNN and I thought it was appropriately written. See for yourself here.There are many instances when cohabitation does work out because the couple is intending to

Is He/She Passionate?

Is your significant other or prospective one not only passionate about the connection you two have between each other, but passionate about life as well? And everything that goes along with it?This quality is probably one of the prerequisites I need in a person to be able to connect with them deeply. I don't know about you but I love it when guys can sing or play music in general.Exhibit A: This

Interracial Relationships

Growing up in Toronto is probably one of the best things that could happen in your life (and London is slowly becoming like Toronto). I say this because there's so much going on and so much to see and best of all, it's the most diverse city in the world.That being said, interracial relationships are becoming more common and more prevalent and you'd think that familes that immigrate here would

How NOT to Pick Up (Part 3)

How NOT to Pick Up (Part 2)

You can read Part 1 here.Now, this is more than a book review. If you want an extended, non-biased description you can go to Wikipedia.I was at an Indigo/Chapters bookstore one day and I overheard some guys raving on about what a great book this was. I was curious and I decided to see what all the fuss was about. I picked it up, read a couple pages and was instantly mortified.Mortified because I

How NOT To Pick Up (Part 1)

I'm starting another series. This time, it's on how NOT to pick up a girl/guy and sadly, I may be putting a lot more pressure on the gentlemen here because traditionally, the man is always the one with the initiative.I write about how NOT to pick up because frankly, giving instructions on how to pick up almost never works because it becomes so robotic and unnatural.Below is a video made by Wong

Long Distance Relationship Survival

Photo SourceThere umteen amounts of articles and how-tos to make a long distance relationship work. There are step-by-steps and all-too-many suggestions on what to do to instil longevity in relationships.Here are four suggestions that I found worked in my experience:Choice: You make the choice to be with one another despite distance.Communication: Phone calls, emails, messages, surprise visits

Taking Chances (Part 3)

Note: I had to omit some portions of the poem below because it was way too long. However, if you wish to read the whole entire poem click here.I thought this poem was befitting to Taking Chances in Part 1 and Part 2. Despite my opposition to confessing (because most of the time intuition is your best bet) and jeopardizing friendships ... this poem seems to speak a lot of the internal
