one lonely life
and he writes...
Dear diary,
i believe you're the only book which i really love throughtout my life. haha. come to think of it. i have so much to tell you. one book is not enough. so this is the first entry in the "second" body of yours. one new book. yet the entry is nothing new.
i made promises. promises to send her gifts. promises to care. promises to do all of these and that. yet, i couldn't lie to myself and to you. those are nothing but so empty promises.
half full or half empty? the bottle is always half empty.
in this case, i think i need to sort things out properly. don't you think so? i think i've done something soooo wrong. that if god above knew. hell must be waiting for me. with big wide open arms.
i must admit. for one thing, that she is quite a great girl. but the fact is, to be sooo frank, i have had no feelings for her. yet.
i guess she's sad.
she ought to be. she must be.
i'm so the bad guy right now.
maybe. if i see her more often, i might just like her? =)
i don't know.
but. for now. things are at peace.
enough for today.
i'm going to bed.

remember me
and she writes...
Dear diary,
i'm so sorry that i tore one page off you. it must have hurt. i've kept it well now. right there. at the back. it's crumbled. but. it's still attached.
i'm hurt too. this sour feeling within. it's growing by the minute. it's overwhelming. you're the only one that knows this. just like the page you've lost, i'm the only one that knows.
i wouldn't say i've lost my page. even if i admit. it's only one page. there are still many pages behind right? =)
i wasn't sure of how he is feeling. i definitely was clear about my own. i really do. but i am also sure that he doesn't carry the same affection that i do. noone actually knew. if anyone knows, they wouldn't care too.
i'm on my own. and of course, there's you.
everything seems fine. you know it. i've been telling you about him. all that had happened. wasn't sure it was meant to be. or not meant to be. he offered help. he cared. he showed promises to take care of me, didn't he?
he offered his hand. i slotted in mine. complex feelings flowed in. i believed it didn't reach him. i was literally gripping on to his hands. he's merely like a walking stick for me to hold on to.
to me, it was a feeling that has not yet happened since a long long time ago.
to him? maybe i'm just a burden. i'm like just somebody else.
so i told him.
"if people were to see, they will talk. if my parents were to see, there's going to be endless of naggings. so it'd be better if you were to let go perhaps?"
it was a suggestion.
he let go.
well, being honest isn't as easy as i've told you. it's hard. but i did it. and i wasn't really glad that i did it...

i'm hooked...

Your soul is bound to the Yellow Rose: The
Gentle.
"I've travelled through the land of
surrender and seen it all. I throw my heart
out and keep my head up, and now I travel
through the land of peace."
The Yellow Rose is associated with friendship,
intuition, and fun. It is governed by the
goddess Hestia and its sign is The Intertwined
Rings, or True Friendship.
As a Yellow Rose, you always look out for your
friends. You would much rather have strong
ties with friends than a single tie with a
lover and your devotion to your friends is
clear. You may have great intuition and be
able to read emotions clearly, but sometimes
you can seem distant yourself.
What Rose Is Your Soul Bound To?

The top ten myths of marriage
By David Popenoe for Discovery Channel
more from Discovery.com
How to build marital bliss
When your partner cheats
The most recent U.S. Census figures confirm what most everyone already knows — divorce rates, indeed, are on the rise.
With nearly half of all marriages ending in divorce, many couples are starting to re-evaluate their relationships.
But before you start any heady analysis, it's important to know the facts from the myths when it comes to marriage:
1. Myth: Marriage benefits men much more than women.
Fact: Contrary to earlier and widely publicized reports, recent research finds men and women to benefit about equally from marriage, although in different ways. Both men and women live longer, happier, healthier and wealthier lives when they are married. Husbands typically gain greater health benefits, while wives gain greater financial advantages.
2. Myth: Having children typically brings a married couple closer together and increases marital happiness.
Fact: Many studies have shown that the arrival of the first baby commonly has the effect of pushing the mother and father farther apart, and bringing stress to the marriage. However, couples with children have a slightly lower rate of divorce than childless couples.
3. Myth: The keys to long-term marital success are good luck and romantic love.
Fact: Rather than luck and love, the most common reasons couples give for their long-term marital success are commitment and companionship. They define their marriage as a creation that has taken hard work, dedication and commitment (to each other and to the institution of marriage). The happiest couples are friends who share lives and are compatible in interests and values.
4. Myth: The more educated a woman becomes, the lower her chances of getting married.
Fact: A recent study based on marriage rates in the mid-1990s concluded that today's women college graduates are more likely to marry than their non-college peers, despite their older age at first marriage. This is a change from the past, when women with more education were less likely to marry.
5. Myth: Couples who live together before marriage, and are thus able to test how well suited they are for each other, have more satisfying and longer-lasting marriages than couples who do not.
Fact: Many studies have found that those who live together before marriage have less satisfying marriages and a considerably higher chance of eventually breaking up. One reason is that people who cohabit may be more skittish of commitment and more likely to call it quits when problems arise. But in addition, the very act of living together may lead to attitudes that make happy marriages more difficult. The findings of one recent study, for example, suggest "there may be less motivation for cohabiting partners to develop their conflict resolution and support skills." (One important exception: Cohabiting couples who are already planning to marry each other in the near future have just as good a chance at staying together as couples who don't live together before marriage).
6. Myth: People can't be expected to stay in a marriage for a lifetime as they did in the past because we live so much longer today.
Fact: Unless our comparison goes back a hundred years, there is no basis for this belief. The enormous increase in longevity is due mainly to a steep reduction in infant mortality. And while adults today can expect to live a little longer than their grandparents, they also marry at a later age. The life span of a typical, divorce-free marriage, therefore, has not changed much in the past 50 years. Also, many couples call it quits long before they get to a significant anniversary: Half of all divorces take place by the seventh year of a marriage.
7. Myth: Marrying puts a woman at greater risk of domestic violence than if she remains single.
Fact: Contrary to the proposition that for men "a marriage license is a hitting license," a large body of research shows that being unmarried — and especially living with a man outside of marriage — is associated with a considerably higher risk of domestic violence for women. One reason for this finding is that married women may significantly underreport domestic violence. Further, women are less likely to marry and more likely to divorce a man who is violent. Yet it is probably also the case that married men are less likely to commit domestic violence because they are more invested in their wives' well-being, and more integrated into the extended family and community. These social forces seem to help check men's violent behavior.
8. Myth: Married people have less satisfying sex lives, and less sex, than single people.
Fact: According to a large-scale national study, married people have both more and better sex than do their unmarried counterparts. Not only do they have sex more often but they enjoy it more, both physically and emotionally.
9. Myth: Cohabitation is just like marriage, but without "the piece of paper."
Fact: Cohabitation typically does not bring the benefits — in physical health, wealth and emotional wellbeing — that marriage does. In terms of these benefits, cohabitants in the United States more closely resemble singles than married couples. This is due, in part, to the fact that cohabitants tend not to be as committed as married couples, and they are more oriented toward their own personal autonomy and less to the well-being of their partner.
10. Myth: Because of the high divorce rate, which weeds out the unhappy marriages, people who stay married have happier marriages than people did in the past when everyone stuck it out, no matter how bad the marriage.
Fact: According to what people have reported in several large national surveys, the general level of happiness in marriages has not increased and probably has declined slightly. Some studies have found in recent marriages, compared to those of 20 or 30 years ago, significantly more work-related stress, more marital conflict and less marital interaction.

CLASSIC!! Try this very soon, before someone forces Google to fix its site:
1) Go to www.Google.com
2) Type in weapons of mass destruction (DON'T hit
return)
3) Hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button, NOT the
"Google
search"
4) Read the "error message" carefully. The WHOLE
page.
Someone at Google really has a sense of humour. And will
probably be fired soon!!!

Ending etiquette
By Jennifer Kantor
The quest for love is bumpy at best, and not all romances are meant to be. Even with the best of intentions, passion fizzles, the ties that bind unravel and the next thing you know, you’re eyeing the door. It happens. And while breaking up certainly is hard to do, it can be done with class, consideration and decorum. For a gracious goodbye, follow the “Five Be’s” below.
Be Sure
Has the fire burned out (or never sparked in the first place)? Or are you ending it over something superficial or possibly fixable? This is not questioning your right to date whomever you want, why-ever you want. It’s just that love at first sight is rare, worthwhile relationships aren’t necessarily easy and soulmates often come in surprising packages. Assess the situation with an open mind — and open heart.
Be Brave
Being alone can be, well, lonely, and it’s tempting to choose "plus one" over "plus none." Don’t. Instead, step up and do the right thing (for both of you) and make the break. While it’s certainly worse to be on the receiving end of bye-bye, saying sayonara yourself isn’t exactly easy either (this assuming, you have a heart). We’ve all strung or been strung along, mostly to avoid the inevitable and painfully awkward confrontation. Have some guts and just do it now.
Be Decisive
Once you’ve made your decision, stick to it. People should accept rejection with as much grace, composure and dignity as they can muster. But some single-minded souls will beg, plead and guilt their way into a second chance. Unless they wow you with some new info (that hottie you spied him with really was his cousin or she just won the lottery) don’t give cave into the pressure.
Be There
Phone breakups are beyond tacky. Email breakups are worse. And don’t even think of doing nothing at all (not returning calls, not showing up for dates) — effective: yes, sometimes; offensive: yes, always. Assuming you’ve dated more than a handful of times, splitting up in person is the right thing to do. Select a low-key, unromantic public spot — sans cocktails — and do the deed. Please, do not break up smack in the middle of dinner. Besides, it's cheesy and you’re guaranteed to get stuck with the check.
Be Brief
No need to blather on and on about where you two went wrong and why this is the right thing to do, blah, blah, blah. While some would suggest “be honest,” I disagree. I’m not suggesting you outright lie (“I’m just not ready for a relationship”) or make up some phantom ex that’s back into the picture. I’m merely suggesting you not blurt the truth. (“You’re duller than watching paint” or “I’m hot for your roommate.”) A simple, “I think you’re great, but just don’t feel that way about you” will sufficiently crush the person across from you. That’s enough.
