Resolutions...

I was supposed to put this post up yesterday, forgive me.
It's a Wednesday night, I'm hurdled at the edge of my bed with a box of chocolate wafers, four Oprah magazines and I'm listening to Adele. Yeah, yeah, I'm feeling mushy and gooey....bleurgh! Moving on, today is exactly a week since i stopped working and it has been a really boring week, 24 magazines down, five or six series and a couple of movies watched. I thought it would be a December full of partying but its turning out to be a lame ass one. Wait, i have a road trip next weekend, that counts for something right? Yaay! :]
I sleep half the day, partly because i'm sleepy and partly because i'm lazy, makes the days seem shorter too. In my defense though i've been sleeping really late, around 2 or 3am watching movies. I'm still trying to figure out the gist(I know this word courtesy of my bestie)*ahem* Oh, the gist of this post is New Year's Resolutions. Don't give me that look, I know you have already prepared one ama you were thinking of one. Its become kinda customary yeah, and same goes to not fulfilling them.

While you are at it, here are a couple of fashion faux pas you should not bring into 2012...

1. Popped collars

At some point in the early-to-mid-aughts, everyone decided that they wanted to look like that character James Spader played in every '80s movie he was in. You know, the douchey one in the tiny white running shorts who popped the collar on his pastel colored polo shirt? Remember when people started layering polo shirts of different colors and popping all the collars so that they would look like peacocks or something? So stupid. Unless it is raining, turn your effing collar down because you look like a goddamn date rapist. (And this is where I would shake my cane at the youths.

2. The return of Day-Glo
I remember hearing someone say at some point, "Orange is the new pink." Oh, really? WE DON'T NEED A NEW PINK BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE PINK. I want to blame Kanye West for this one, but it was a collective effort. Day-glo wasn't cool in the '80s and it didn't get cool just now. Unless you are going hunting, there is no reason to wear a shirt that hurts my eyes.

3. Fake Louis Vuitton purses/bags.
I'm sorry to any reader who may own/have owned one, but I am done seeing fake Louis Vuitton purses everywhere i turn especially the one in that leather pattern are fugly. Personally, I would rather my purse said, "I have good taste in colors/patterns" than "I spent too much on this fugly fake purse." I guess the plus-side of having a really ugly brown-on-tan purse is that when your stupid pink pugamuffin poops in your bag, no one will be able to tell. :p

4. Fedoras
Justin Timberlake looks good in these. Don Draper? Sure. You, me or your friend from campus who is trying to cover up the fact that he is going bald? Not so much. They just make you look like you're trying too hard. Fedoras: unless you are wearing a gray flannel suit and drinking whiskey or smoking a cigar, they are never a good idea.

5.Bunny ears?!
Introduced by Louis Vuitton, big bunny ears were the rage in 2010 and please leave them where they belong. This is where fashion walks a thin and dangerous line, fashion bordering on dress up party costume.

6.Ripped jeans.
Okay, a small tear or two is fine, but what i've been seeing on the streets, well you might as well not even be wearing pants. WHY purchase a pair of jeans, so abusively attacked with a craft knife, when you can do that yourself in 2 minutes flat?? Threads so mutilated, their barely hanging on are back,and worse than ever this ripped jeans trend, is constantly in and out of fashion, for reasons which i cannot understand! Sometimes, this trend works, but there's something ridiculous about the extreme cases of mutilated jeans..They give the impression that the slashes are for venting, but why wouldn't you just wear shorts or a skirt if it was a hot day?!

7. Jumpsuits.
The only people whom should be wearing jumpsuits, are infants. The main reason being that, very seldom is the jumpsuit flattering on anyone!
I have seen grown women wearing full jumpsuits that are apparently 'fashionable', yet all women that i have seen wearing them in reality, look frumpy. Not to mention ridiculous.
They have been 'in' for the last couple of years, and come in a wide range of styles, each one equally as ugly as the next. Not only is the jumpsuit design one that leaves a lot to be desired, they also come in a wide range of hideous prints.
I did not try the trend...gladly! Wasn't going to anyway...

8.Printed patterned pants.
Are something that should not exist. But apparently any kind of printed pants ranging from tight and floral, to baggy and stripped, are all good in 2010. I strongly disagree, and feel that many others will also!
Patterned pants delude the shape of the lower half of your body, usually making you look bigger than you are, and like a clown. Printed patterns have no business making their mark on pants, few people will entertained this trend, and hopefully it dies fast.
I have one, wore it once and never again...

9.Clogs.
They were ugly last time they were 'in', and their ugly now. What are they?? A shoe that can't decide whether it's a stiletto or a boot. Hey, they're probably a lot comfier than your 'normal' heels, but I'm guessing by the chunkiness they tend to posses, that they are heavy.
I took a pass at this trend too...

10.Parachute Pants. Personally i like these for lounging around the house in, but that is where they should stay! These pants are very comfy, but they should be classed more along the lines of pyjama pants, rather than a fashion statement.
There are variations of this pant that do actually look good, and are feasible for wearing in public, but that is with minimal bagginess, AKA, Genie pants. But minimal bagginess genie pants will tend to really only suit thin people.


I'm done hating, so my friend says she lives vicariously through me, i sure do hope she means well. My bro call me "simba marara" lol,you do not want to know what that means, in light of that...here are my resolutions!
1. Stop being so moody, i wonder if i have any control over this but i'll try.
2. Break down some of the walls around my heart*ahem*
3. Go to church, its been a really long long while.
4. Be committed, to both things and people.
5. Be friendly, some say niko na sura ya ndimu(not mentioning any names)
6. Be slow to anger.
7. Speak my mind
8. Learn to say no
9. Not be too nice
10. Try not to be too picky.
As you can see , i don't have quit drinking and what not because i'm trying to be realistic here.

Before i forget, Santa i have been a good girl this year, "all i ask for is true love"
Romeo ft. Justin Beiber- Mistletoe.
If you can't find that for me though, uh...the perfume provocative woman by Elizabeth Arden will suffice.
Xoxo...

December...

Officially welcoming you to December! *screams* Yaay! PARTY!!!(Responsibly ofcourse).
Don't even know why i called this post December, be warned though it's not all about December. Oh, but it is the 1st of December 2011(reason enough) :-D
I spent all day in the house today, wait.....



Had to get these images out of my head somehow, sorry...been watching two and a half men season 9 all day *ahem*. I think they give too much credit with the hotness, i do agree he is some eye candy, but not the ONLY eye candy...I'm just saying!
My post today was supposed to be about Ellen DeGeneres, you know her right? I like her a lot, her style and all. Did you know she has been voted #35 on the sexiest women over 50? Now you know, but that's a post for another day. Here she is for the Blondies :P


So, Christmas is coming soon, then New year's, and we all turn a year older. I am at that point in my life where i think i should have settled(not in that way) but get a job, move out and stuff like that. It doesn't seem to be happening as anticipated. I know you are probably thinking I'm rushing things and should be patient...but that's a virtue i fail miserably at.
I am the planner type, i plan everything, i mean everything but i have come to learn the hard way that things don't always go as planned. You ever heard that if you want to make God laugh, go ahead and tell him all your plans? My boss the other day told me that life would be very boring if everything went according to our plans. A few lemons have to be thrown our way and we have to decide whether to make lemonade or take shots of tequila.
Being the planner i am, i had everything planned out, was to graduate this past October which didn't happen(see?) I have to wait for next year, ya'll invited! After graduation, was to get a job(as if they are hang somewhere on trees?) get a serious boyfriend (Lol, no comment)enjoy my money two or so years, get married in 2015(highly doubt this will happen), get two kids(boy and a girl) boy has to be first(hahaha, laughing at myself now) and live happily ever after!
I have however decided to take it one step at a time, take a chill pill, sit back and relax. Let the days unfold as they please, dance to the music of life whichever genre it plays...Let's do this!
Oh, before i go seeing as i have been out of the game for a while now, i think i forgot how to tell if someone likes you or not...(you don't care? Ok, i'll stop here!) But it's not fair that i just die inside is it? lol, funny how the people you like most don't necessarily like you back the same way and the people you don't like, like you immensely?! Yet another reminder that not everything turns out as planned...yes?

Before i forget, today is World's Aids Day, hope you got yourself tested.
Stay safe. X.

My rant and rave...

Today was not a good day for me....allow me to rant and rave, with love mwaaah!
So to start it of, i woke up late not that i did not hear my alarm but decided to snooze from 5am, finally woke up at 6.20am! Was definitely going to be late for work, decided that since i was already late, there wasn't any need for me to hurry. So kama kawaida i checked into facebook, then twitter and finally sent a text to my bestie, i do this everyday! My bestie did not reply as promptly as he does, so that kinda ticked me off. Anyhow, i prepared myself and left the house at around 7.30am walked briskly to the stage and got into a mat, luckily it wasn't a struggle getting one.
So the mat quickly filled and we were on our way...just about five minutes later the dude next to me asks how long it would take to get to town, i resisted to ask him a dumb sarcastic question in return and simply said, about an hour. Oh, how i wish i would not have answered that simple question. Sijui he thought it was an invitation to a full on conversation? But heh, it was the longest ride to town ever. Then the dumbass driver decides it wise to go through Kiambu road and we all know how crazy that route can get especially after hearing from the radio that it was bumper to bumper.
All this time my bestie hasn't replied my text so im still sulking....then the guy next to me in jeans that is creased and a t-shirt starts to tell me vile he has just moved to sides of Thika road like three days ago because of the superhighway?!? :S
Ok, lets not even mention that his breath stank(I am sorry if i sound mean but its true) Dude, its freaking 7am in the morning, ever heard of toothpaste? Breath mint? Anything?


So, i don't know how friendly i look but i swear i tried to pull a serious face, i guess it didn't work. Went ahead to tell me vile he was late for his hearing at High Court(all this time i'm thinking, who cares?)Something about him receiving a fake cheque and presenting it at a bank...blah,blah,blah. All this time i was just holding my breath about to turn purple. I fidget several times, the guy at the other end notices and is smiling(save me now!)
I try opening the window but its stuck, the bad breath lad offers to help but im thinking it would be better if he helped by reaching into his pockets and pulling out breath mints....He turns to face me, now it looks like we are together*cringe* murmurs his name which i swear i can't remember. He is going on and on and on, did i say ON? Laughing alone because now i'm pissed, we're stuck in traffic thanks to the driver, and this dude is just irritating me.
Starts to talk about church and sijui what, i swear *kill me NOW*. My bestie texts me, finally a distraction....not! He is pms'n about stuff, ah! So much for adding salt to a wound. I thought it would be my way out, so i hold my phone to pretend i'm texting to stop this blubber stinky breath from talking. As we are approaching town, he goes on vile he'd like to see me again, hold up...."are you blind?" clearly not interested, goes to tell me i should give him my number, i refuse. Tell him to give me his instead but i don't save it...


Insists i give him mine ati he is not going to misuse it....ati? where do you come from? I said i'm not giving it to you kapeesh? To put the cherry on top, ati he likes me, wololo...you out of your mind? I swear i was about to tell that dude off, but i hold my cool, we're just about to alight, i can make it through. He corners me to the seat when everyone is alighting telling me ati he likes my eyes, my colour and some other shady nonesense, the smiling dude at the other corner had to intervene with a 'boss, kuwa mpole'...I'm like phew!
He moves so that i can alight and stands outside like he thinks i'm going to walk with him, to where? Heh....I go around the mat, cross the road and rush off into the crowded street, couldn't even look back!
Talk about the longest ride to town EVER? Nkt... :-(


Hope your day was better than mine, xoxo!

The 'one who got away'

It's been a while, I know....Many apologies! Hallo bloggers and blog readers....post number 51, feels like a milestone! lool
I had an awesome weekend(wait, yes...I am making an attempt at telling you how awesome my Saturday last weekend was. Don't want to hear it? Well, ok!) But honestly though, i had a great time...
So this bestie of mine on that particular Saturday says he doesn't like to date, looks at it as too much work! Well, i told him that i personally enjoy dates...the whole meeting a new person, getting to know them and what not. No, I'm not usually that bored, don't get it twisted, they have to be interesting people.I have been on quite a number of dates, some grew into something while others were just another speed bump. Besides how will you meet your prince/princess if you don't kiss several frogs? (old fashioned? Its true though...)
We all have that one(or in my case two #smh) who got away! I call them my 'what if's' and i'll let you in on why you need one if you don't have one.
This is for you bestie and all the beautiful people out there, read on to discover the heart-warming benefits of long lost love...

Perk #1. They bring objectivity and pespective helping you to re-evaluate why a great relationship failed. Were you nagging? Insecure? Petty? Over-protective? etc

Perk #2. It teaches to find conclusion, they're not called 'what if's' for nothing-these romances invariably have more loose ends than a plate of spaghetti. They make the importance of the closure stage hit home.

Perk #3. They become your relationship barometer. How often do you think about your 'one that got away' when you're deliciously in love? Exactly! If you are happy, it is unlikely you'll find yourself plundering the past.
If you keep thinking about how great a previous relationship was, or might have been, you're subconciously acknowledging how unsatisfying you're current one is....just saying.

Perk #4. They make you brave, the pain of someone slipping through your fingers can be a positive experience because it encourages you to be more honest with your emotions.

Perk #5. Because we usually elevate them to the ideal, the one that got away helps us focus on what we like and don't like in a patner.

Perk #6.. If you've been single for long *ahem* it's easy to think you are never going to find anyone, yet having a what if(even if it didn't work out) makes you likely to find that sort of connection again.

Perk #7. Its is also a wonderfully romantic and reassuring notion that can help you believe in love.

Seven is my lucky number(just so you know)and not surprising I could only come up with seven solidly good reasons....enjoy! xoxo!
What if? what if? what if? what if? what if? what if???

Open Post....

This is my 50th post and decided it would be open; I will not write about one thing but many different things...enjoy!

Now i was in Nyeri last weekend, Nyeri is in Central province if you were lost! I got rained on, i fell flat on my bum in very slippery mud, and consequently got a cold that has me caged up in the house now. Only upside to that weekend was the meat, i ate too much nyama and oh, we went to this white rhino club in Nyeri town. Heh, i don't know if i'm getting old ama the dresses there by some girls were barely there. Now, I'm not hating, i love Nyeri, its my second home but truth has to be spoken. There is a very thin line between sexy and trashy. What i saw was downright trashy! Don't wear something because its the in thing ama because your friends are doing it, wah! Go with your size and shape, I wish i took photos then it would be easier to explain....I digress! Now, there was this other group who came in, put their bags down on the floor and started to dance like mad men and women...How now? "what are you on?"

I realised the other day that i am a very weird person, i have something for scents, once i get your scent i can pick you from a crowd of people with your scent. It has to be cologne though, lol, i'm not a sniffer dog :P Plus someone's fingernails and voice....
That said i have a thing for accents, doesn't matter from where...lol, a man in a suit, a man who can cook and a man with really well polished english! Not forgetting T.I.

Its been a while since i went to church, but i do pray. I have a short fuse, i'm easily irritable. i was thinking of getting anger management classes, lol. I am very hard to get angry at *puppy dog eyes* I don't like gray areas, its either a yes or a no, not in between! If i like someone, its hard not to tell, its too obvious and i do like someone ;). I am a very bad liar, can't lie! I am easy to talk to, thus i have very many male friends....

Music relaxes me, i love stupidly i hate it...my favourite blog is Karlas Closet, ya'll(women) should check it out! Biko's blog on Monday is also a good read.

Con-Artists Alert....

It's a holiday today(whoop!whoop!)You do not know how long i have waited for this day, necessarily not that it's heroes day(siku ya mashujaa)but that i got some shut eye for a few more hours today morning! But all the same i salute all the heroes, thanks for whatever it is you did(being deliberately ignorant here)...
Anyhow, about two weeks ago i fell victim of a con-artist, i was so pissed all of last week.....if i had a gun?! *sigh*

Here is my story....
Oh, drat! Wait,looking for the emails that pea brained con sent me, just a moment...aah, voila! So, you know how sometimes we can get carried away when looking for employment especially when you're done with school and you're thinking its time to get there. I do most of my job searches online, and usually send my resume, application letter and stuff, you all know the process(i hope). It was a 'UNCDL' job offer as an administrative officer. They sent me interview forms and a personal history form to fill in a few weeks later which i did duly. I asked a pal of mine if he had ever heard of 'UNCDL' and when he asked where it was, my first red flag went off! I had never heard of 'UNCDL', I googled it and settled my fears.
A month later, they sent me an email confirming that they had received my email and they would get back to me....another month later, they sent me an employment offer email. Ok, sorry beautiful people, its in form of PDF, and the link won't attach! They said i would be getting USD. 138,130 paid in monthly installments.

I was so excited, hell ata getting to sleep was a problem. I didn't even care that the job offer was in Geneva. Next day though when i woke up, i was thinking...how lucky could i be? I had my doubts...plus they hadn't asked for money, said they'd cover all my expenses and i was like why not? Opportunity of a lifetime, who wouldn't jump at it? So i filled some other forms they'd sent me, something about accepting the job offer and training for three months and sent it back to them.

They sent another email telling me they would work on my travel arrangements and assist me in getting a visa but they would not pay for it. I thought small price to pay for that salary right? They sent another form i had to scan and attach a passport size photo. By now, more than three red flags had gone off...
1. Those lowlifes had mentioned not to call them ati they had too many applicants...blah!blah!
2. Not to visit the US embassy just yet until they had everything in place. Really?
3. How do you just employ someone you have never seen, no interview...nothing???
4. The first time i googled them, immediately after i sent my resume it said it was an NGO uplifting the lives of people in society. The second time i googled them months later, it said it was a scam! I think they had coned so many people.
I knew they were con-artists and was disappointed but i decided to play on, give them a taste of their own medicine. I had noticed that they barely read any of the documents i sent them, so anytime they sent me a form to fill in, I'd just write anything. I waited patiently for the day they would ask me for money, and those dorks did! Oh, all hell broke loose..."hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"
I sent them this email.....

You shitheads with brains the size of a pea! YOU chose the wrong tree to bark up. Use your brain if it exists to know that i am not stupid and i am not going to send any money to you! Next time you try to con someone, don't ask them not to call you. Two, don't ask them not to contact the US embassy, do not be so enthusiastic to welcome them to the 'UNCDL' family, do not tell them how much they are to be paid especially an overly large sum of money, and last but not least do not ask for money!
Stupid, shitless, douchebag, asswipe, dork and all other insults i can think of...
fuck you and get a life. Shame on you, i pity the one who gave birth to you, I'm sure they'd expect more from you!
And just in case you didn't know, the international police are after you lowlifes, we all know its a scam, better run for cover. Send me another email and I'm suing your smelly asses!
Payback is a BITCH! What goes around comes around, i rest my case and leave it to the most high!

I do not know who taught them to be cons because I'd do a whole lot better. And i pity those who fall for these scams and actually send these people money! Maybe, its because my history takes me back to central province and every coin has to be accounted for!
Be forewarned though, don't say you didn't know because I've told you!
Enjoy your holiday :)

No apologies...

Funny how inspiration hits us at the weirdest of times. I was on my way to work yesterday morning, stuck in traffic on Mombasa Rd. Couldn't get time to put it up though because i swamped as is usual with Mondays. Today, I'm not so busy and i thought why not?!
So yesterday i remembered this house party i had attended not so long ago and some girl had a fall out with her boyfriend and woke up the next day her eyes really swollen from crying all night. Those eye bags were big, she needed shades to hide under.
It got me thinking of where we have to draw the line....
-If he makes you cry
-If he takes up all your energy
-If he holds your hand too tight its painful
-If he is not your shoulder to cry on
-If he is an asswipe, douchebag or lowlife...excuse the lingo!
Compromise when you have to, do not be a doormat, stand your ground. I am 23 freaking years old, no way I'm changing now for anyone! I am not venting, lol, maybe i am...who cares? Do you? Didn't think so...
Do not say i love you first
Do not text or call first
Do not beg
Do not sleep with him if you're not ready
Always demand respect....
If he falls short, let him go and have no apologies! xoxo!

What women want...

Let's be clear first that,I'm not playing coy here, I know we're complex creatures. And, true, we operate on a different wavelength than men. It isn't as hard to win the heart of a woman as most men believe, and no we're not from Mars! Contrary to popular belief its as easy as A,B,C...
One of my no.1 fans Bonke Moses suggested i was favouring my female conterparts by focussing my posts on them and letting them know when to call quits and stuff! Well, today i focus on the gentlemen, giving you an inside look into the heart of a woman, you can thank Bonke and I later, enjoy!
Note: you won't find diamond rings or other fancy things anywhere on this list. While other women really do want luxury goods from men, when you break it down they are just physical representations of some of the points on this list. I promise.
1.Communication.
Women are vocal creatures. We know you love us, but it's nice to hear you say it, too. We can also be insecure. We wish we weren't, but the reality is that we often notice our wobbly thighs and forget about our gorgeous eyes. So let us know when you think we're hot, tell us we're beautiful. It helps us feel good. Plus, when we feel sexy we're more likely to act sexy.
2.Sex.
Yes, we know you love sex. But, remember that there are four bases to cover in the bedroom, not just one. Try stopping at each base instead of being so focused on the home run—believe us, we'll thank you for it! Likewise, remember small physical touches like massages. One can never, ever, have too many shoulder rubs. And scratching our heads is pretty great, too.
4.Time.
We understand relationships can't be all wine and roses; simply making the time to be with us and treating us like your top priority says "love" more than all the fancy gifts and lovely letters ever could. This includes helping around the house. The realities of a 21st-century relationship are that both partners probably work. If you happen to get home before we do, why not take vacuum the living room or throw in a load of laundry? If you take the garbage out without being asked, chances are you'll be getting a big ole smooch when you come back.
5.Attention.
I'll admit today here and now, that I am an attention junkie. Constant texts, calls every now and then and making time to see me, will send me falling head over heels. I believe it is also the same for most women, make her feel like she matters, like she is part of your everyday life and that you think of her constantly.
6.Be a shoulder she can cry on.
Women want to know that you are always there for them and this means being a pillar of strength when they are sad. They love a man that is masculine, yet also has a feminine side to them. More points of what women want in relationships is showing that you are not afraid to be yourself when you are with her, showing your feelings of love in public ( Which they know makes other women envious), and always being truthful and honest with them.

7. Have her details and important dates on your finger tips: Her birthday, How many siblings she has, where she grew up, her favourite colour....et cetera. I still insist that if a man has been with you for well over a month and still doesn't know the colour of your eyes, he's just not that into you.

8.Make her laugh and want to be around you all the time, just make her happy. Even if it means pinning her to the ground and tickling her until she farts!

9.Compliment her. Be very keen when it comes to new hair-dos,new nail job and such. If one of your boys says it before you do. Oh,trust thats not good.

10. NEVER COMPARE HER TO ANYONE! And even if you do, make sure its someone who's out of reach. For example, you could compare her to Rihanna or Amber Rose.

11.Spend money on her. Surprise her with something nice once in a while. Don't be selfish. Don't buy a 10,000 bob watch for yourself, then take HER to some shady dingy eating joint.

12. Kiss her in the rain. *ahem*

13.Kindly just remove that passcode from your phone. You insist on trust and such... What are you hiding anyway???

14.Always admit that you're wrong and she's right! ALWAYS!

15.Hold her hand once in a while. Some ladies I know dont exactly like PDA but it doesn't have to be outdoors, you could hold her hand indoors or over the dinner table.

16.Even if you were bullied as a kid, or a toddler once pooped on you, always, always tell her how much you would love to have babies with her. Let her know that you see a future with her.

17.NEVER call other girls the pet names you call her....."Babie...Hun...et cetera."

18.When you're talking about your future, always say "We are going to get this"....or "We will travel to this place", instead of "I am going to buy you this"...or "I will take you to this place"

19.All ladies want a man with a sense of security or someone she can brag about to her girlfriends.Its nothing materialistic or gold-digging.Its just natural. so get your act right.

20.Speaking of girlfriends. Don't get so uptight when she says she's going out with the girls....be easy!

21.Crowd her space. Make her feel like she's the only girl in the world. Feel jealous once or twice.Question where she is, and who she's with.A jealous hot man is a very sexy combination.

22.Take her shopping and at least pretend to enjoy helping her pick out outfits!

23.As much as people say "opposites attract", women love men who agree with them on certain random issues, like politics and such...

24.ALWAYS HAVE COLOGNE ON!! There's nothing that defines you like your signature scent. Trust me!

25.Keep your hair and nails short, neat, and kempt!

26.Let her wear your t-shirt, or sleep in your boxers just for fun.

27.No matter how angry you are, never suggest a break-up!

28.Tell her she has beautiful eyes, and a beautiful smile. That always works.

29.Sacrifice a night out with the boys to watch a movie indoors with her from time to time.

30.Conversations concerning ex-girlfriends should be avoided ALWAYS!!! Learn to let go of the past. No woman wants a man with baggage!

31.Kiss her randomly. That actually works best in between arguments, or during those mushy mushy movies like 'Just Wright', 'Walk To Remember' and 'Dear John'.

32.Clean up nice!! Of course she should love you for you, but don't be surprised if you've gone out well over a month and you have never met her friends.

33.Treat her like no one else matters. When your with her, don't stare at random behinds or make her feel left out when you're hanging out with friends.

34.Get your act right. You don't have to drive an AUDI to be considered, but every lady either wants a successful man,or on the road to success. Don't hide your businesses, open up to your woman.

35.Saying you 'love her' before, during or immediately after sex doesn't count. Say that when you really mean it, Say it with her clothes ON!

36. Chivalry is not dead...If you are a step or two ahead of me, I'd expect you to hold the door. Pull up a chair for me, open the car door etc...

37. Don't be rude to anyone especially waiters.

38. Leave your bad, childish behaviour and vulgar jokes that you share with your boys behind when you're with us.

39.Be the man in that relationship, don't PMS and expect to be smothered, we want that, you should smoother us, and not the opposite. Being manly is not being macho. Manliness is the positive qualities of decisiveness, strength in one's convictions, confidence, self-reliance, high moral qualities, self discipline, honesty and integrity.

40.We don't care what the plan is, Just have one.

Au Revoir!!!

Trend Spotting...MIDI!

Mid length hemlines, also known as midi...

Been a while since i wrote anything fashion related, was going through a rough patch(emotional and trust related) LOL....Clearly! Haha, I'm back though :-]
The hemlines are falling! The hemlines are falling! Well, dear readers, it's true. As much as you've been prepping your gams to style your favourite mini dress/skirt in the heat, now in this cold season hemlines are falling below the knee.While most of you are just getting a grip on the maxi-dress trend be fair-warned that there's a new look on the block.
Even designers I.e Chloe, Chanel, Alexander Wang, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Jil Sander, Brioni, Stella McCartney, Peter Pilotto, Rebecca Taylor and Ralph Lauren focused on this trend on their Spring 2011 runways.
