Pretty Obsessed

He I’m sure is convinced that I think that life should mimic the above picture. And by He I don’t mean God, although I’m sure he thinks of himself as one, He is the boyfriend.

Being an intelligent being, he knows what romance looks like, he knows what it is…and like most women, I enjoy it. It enhances the enjoyment of being in a relationship … especially a LDR. I realize romance is a lot harder to pull off… the average guy may come off as a complete cheeseball if he mirrored movie like behavior. For instance, if my boyfriend and I were to take a cruise together, and he placed my body dangerously close to the edge of the deck Titanic style and screamed “I’m the king of the world!” I would probably puke a little in my mouth out of sheer fear of going overboard. That would not be my idea of a shared feel-good moment.

It sucks but there is a double standard… romance novels can get away with in your face romance, and so can movies, but the average guy has to find the comfortable medium. Somewhere between cheesy and a wretched wasteland of indifference lies the perfect amount of romanticism.

A man needs to remember women all over the world have these notions, its important to figure out her fantasies and make at least some of them come true from time to time. Abandoning the idea of romance all together comes off as plain lazy. So yes, life is not a novel … but to all the lovers out there, don’t underestimate what a little gesture can do for the spirit.

The lovely Boyfriend can easily be described as the ‘strong and silent type’ with emphasis on the silent part. Now I’m not saying I need daily confessions of his undying love for me… but a little can go a long way.

So we live in a practical world… does that mean we have to behave  in a practical manner all the time?

Consensus say no.

Apparently not! MyVibe is the first X-rated App approved by Apple meant to give you pleasure.

So now I have to wipe away more than face grease when borrowing a phone?! Uggh gross…wtf is our world coming to? Why would we need a Vibe App for our pleasure on a PHONE? There are enough perverts riding the metro or subway as it is. Did the idiots at Apple really have to give them more of a reason to “discreetly” pleasure themselves in public?Am I the only one who thinks this is unnecessary and inappropriate? While they’re at it, they may as well add a Self-Wash App for the phone which automatically goes off after the MyVibe App is used.

So…if you’re a malodorous pervert, there’s an App for that.

“Women .. Think they are men these days.. They feel that they are men but the part they dont realize is that they admit every day that they are not men.  I dont have guys opening my doors or helping me lift boxes or picking a oozing zit from my forehead. you get the point

So, the author of this website wanted to go to a Lakers game but the thing is she does not know the rules of the game. She wants to shell out major money in a recession but not even know why.  It is like a deaf person going to a concert.

it is incompetent and illogical.. besides, in that time she can be on the internet looking for recipes to make after i come from the laker game to have ready for me.

its this stupid behavior that needs to come to an end. they want the best of both worlds.

I always say we messed up when we gave them the right to vote.

Mark Wahlberg is the executive producer of one my favorite guilty pleasures ‘Entourage’ and its said that there is reportedly only two more upcoming seasons of the show and then its supposed to wrap up…so sad. In fact, this upsetting news may just cause my boyfriend (who I really do think is convinced he’s part of the entourage) to lose all reason for living.

So I’m posting this to give him and all the other guys out there a reason to keep on truckin! Because Mark also shared recently that there may be a movie in the works…I mean wow! I haven’t been this excited since Sex in the City hitting the big screen! HBO has not confirmed or denied the possibility…which means …nothing really.

I wonder what the big screen plot would be… maybe Vince will decide its time to man up and settle down… The whole movie can revolve around the possibility of this long- shot occurrence actually happening…and in the end, the camera can zoom in on his eyes, tearing up at the realization that his time has passed…as have all his friends and their families. OR…even better, we can get a couple hours worth of arguably the strongest character Ari Gold driving the movie in whatever direction deemed entertaining…whatever it may be, I am thrilled!

There comes a point in our lives… or should I say, at many points in our lives, we ask ourselves, “Who exactly am I?” At times like this, we are looking beyond what is obvious to others, beyond our great character, or morals, where we come from and where we hope to go….

Who exactly are you to yourself, what do YOU feel should define you, what makes you happy? We may feel the need for a deeper sense of purpose. Or maybe…just maybe we feel like we are ready to accommodate a more complex lifestyle. One that everything in your gut tells you YOU SHOULD be living. Whatever the case, the question of who we are needs to be explored.

During this exploration you may find yourself lost in an array of questions, drawing your attention so deeply inward that you inevitably find your answer when you least expect it.

Just because an idea or way of doing things is popular does not mean it is right for everyone. Many people go through life not taking the time to determine what is right for them, and continue doing what most people we know are doing. Our decisions in life should not be made by default. This may be an outcome of feeling pressured by family, friends or even society at large who normally do things a different way. But when faced with decisions that will directly affect you first and foremost… is following the popular opinion truly the BEST choice for yourself?

It is not always easy to make decisions that go against popular judgment; it creates apprehension within and forces you to weigh out your options under much pressure by loved ones. On your side of the fence, it’s easy to feel discouraged and defensive when you may be looking for reassurance and support.

My advice, it helps if you refocus your energy and consciously decide to be gentle and tolerant and calmly stay persistent, consistent, and communicate clearly with those whose opinions you value.

Our lives belong to us… sometimes it takes coming up against something we can no longer escape or deny (ahem, I’ve reached a crossroad) to make a life bettering decision. The hardest part of making a decision is accepting everything life will put in front of us after making it.

So let understanding sink in… and do what is best for you…for once.

Vogue India has featured many beautiful Indian faces on their issue. Change can be good however, Victoria Beckham stars as the Indian Bride and pulls it off beautifully.

Victoria says, “I have long been an avid admirer of the Indian fashion and lifestyle culture.”

Anahita Shroff Adajania, fashion director for the magazine, reveals that Mrs. Beckham was very excited trying on the Indian outfits, “She absolutely loved everything about it — from the ‘maang tikka’ and ‘haath zeb’ (traditional Indian jewellery) to the gorgeous lehengas (traditional Indian skirt with embroidery),” she says.

And who can blame her? Indian clothing is to die for! From the colors, to the styles, and the rich materials…the options are endless.

Britney Spears has also been inspired by Indian Fashion and culture. At a recent show at her Circus tour she performs wearing an Indian costume resembling one worn by actress Deepika Padakone’s from the movie Om Shanti Om.

The most addictive drama is back tonight! I can’t remember the last time I have been so excited about something…whoo hoo!!! I can not wait!

It will be a three hour long LOST fest beginning with a recap and followed by the first episode of season 5, and the second episode will close the third hour!

I must admit, I am pretty obsessed with LOST.

It has been a long while since my last post and I apologize for missing in action for so long. The last couple of months have been hectic to say the least. So much has happened… but with the New Year in full swing what better time than now to be here again.

With all that has been going on I needed some time away, some time for quiet reflection. I feel revitalized and replenished, and feel grounded in my own company. I’m looking forward to this year now that I feel more aware. With this new feeling of momentum that has been built, I can’t help but set specific goals for myself…

New Year resolutions… I didn’t make any last year, but I want this year to be different.

My list is long and making it felt overwhelming at first. But after a while I got into writing all the things I had always wanted to do if the lemons of life hadn’t gotten in the way. After some time, the list filled an entire page, containing all my ideas of an ideal life. My list has things I feel I should do to be the person I always wanted to be, and then I have a few practical resolutions… the practical being things like, eat better, make time to exercise, help others, etc., but it’s the not so practical resolutions that I would like to focus on this year.

After all, the more things that excite you, the more intensely you will live your time alive. Intuitively, we really do know who we are and how we should live. I guess it’s time to trust this inner guidance and follow my own unique path.

I have a feeling this year is going to be one to remember… a great year…

Happy 2009!

Diwali also known as the Festival of Lights is one of the most well-known Indian festivals marking the beginning of the Hindu New Year. It is a five day celebration marked with beautiful bright colors, oil lamps, and scrumptious food. Most Diwali celebrations around the world focus on loved ones and it is a time to reflect on the past and visualize a prosperous future.

May this Diwali be a new beginning of peace, joy, prosperity, and love for you!

Bad breath is a definite deal-breaker!

If your breath smells “bad” because you enjoyed a scrumptious meal then fine, I won’t make an obvious stink-face when you speak to me…But come on people its time to make sure that your oral hygiene is up to par!

I was speaking to a lost soul the other day and all I could think about was how horrific his breath smelled. I could barely hear what he was saying because his breath was louder than his words. I was offended, why did he want me to suffer like that…what did I do to deserve to be tortured by his toxic mouth smell? I’ll never know I guess.

Even a half-wit can figure out how to maintain good oral hygiene: Visit the dentist regularly! Take the time to floss, brush (including the tongue), and rinse after every meal or at least twice a day.

There are a number of causes of bad breath. We know how to get rid of bad breath when we are at home near our toothbrushes right? I truly hope so…

But what can you do when you are not at home?

I like to keep a travel size bottle of Listerine in my bag at all times. It’s super inexpensive and it really comes in handy. You can also buy a travel size toothbrush and toothpaste…but again the travel size Listerine bottle is a MUST have!

If you’re out drinking and decided to leave your purse behind or your pals are being stingy with their gum…then go to the bar and grab a lemon wedge, sprinkle some salt on it and suck away! That should keep you from grossing out your lover or any potential lovers for the time being. Worst case, find water and swish it around in your mouth a few times!

You are welcome!
