Look into your heart

Hey all, it sure has been sometime...here's something to boost up your self image and something to make all of you believe in yourself more...it's quite interesting and true...for those who like poetry......sure might enjoy it..:)


When you feel sad and betrayed

Who can you count on every single day?

When you feel lost and alone

Who will be there for youin every way?

When you've made mistakes and bad decisions

Who can you count on to tell you you're wrong?

When you feel you can't go on

Who will be there with a feel-better song?

Look into your heart andyou will find

That person you can trustis not far away.

Look deep into yourself,don't give up,

For if you do, it's yourselfyou'll betray.



This also made me think......there are so many instances where we are so close to our friends..but it takes a long time figure out that they can change at the most unexpected time.....why is it to difficult to judge people...anyone you know can always leave you when you most need them...or hurt your feelings..at the end of the day...it's only you for yourself...

you may enjoy life....with you friends and all the other people you know....but when you really need them.........you never know whether you'l ever get what you want....at the end of the day...It's just "Me, myself &I).....It's quite sad isn't it? and the fact that you can never know whats in the heart of another person........is even scarier........HOWEVER.....all people are not the same....:)

Live & screaming!!!!!!!!

Oh My God!! Guess what?? Peter Andre's finally coming to Sri Lanka!!! He's scheduled to perform on the 28th of this month at Henry pedris Grounds at about 7:45pm!! can you believe it???

They do promise a night full of fun with groovy beats and dancy tunes....Lets hope that it would be good..afterall we do still remember the disaster we faced with the so called "Venga Boys" concert isn't it? With all the lip syncing and stuff...and the fact that they turned up several hours late!!! lets jus keep our fingers crossed and hope that this would turn out to be a good concert..

But then again, come to think of it.......there isn't much of a hype about it, isn't it? we only came across this in the weekend papers....Besides, the only thing that comes to our minds right now is.........none other than "Mysterious Girl"....

So exactly how many of you are Peter Andre fans anyway? what do you think of him? we remember...when we were schooling, just about all the girls from grade 6 onwards thought that he was really cool and cute and blah blah...but it just died down... and that was a long long time ago......wonder what the modern day youngsters think of all these celebrities....;)

Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to support you.

How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?

-------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you fix a woman's watch?

Why do men fart more than women?
Because women can't shut up long enough to build up the required pressure.

If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?
The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.

In the beginning, God created the earth and rested.
Then God created Man and rested.
Then God created Woman.
Since then, neither God nor Man has rested. Boy ain't this the truth!

This is for the good men who need a laugh and to the women who can handle the truth..

Bum cramps!!! & a lesson on friendship!!:)

During one of the lectures y-day, our friend Shanessa * who was seated near us had a weird experience!! Well it was just after a break, when we all came back for the last half of the lecture, as she was about to sit down, we noticed that she has a really puzzled look on her face. So we asked her what was wrong…and do you have any idea what the reply was???????? Well…..she said, “I’ve got a cramp in my left bum”!! and she kept complaining about it for a while…and well, one of us , quite absent mindedly, asked if she wanted one of us to massage it for her!!!!!!! Which is even more comical I should say… Then again, I guess when you are really good friends with someone, you wouldn’t think twice about helping her/ him whenever they’re in need of something isn’t it? See, sometimes the sub-conscious mind just does things that you never really intended to do in the first place, right? Who in the right mind would want to massage someone else’s bum, unless its your job or it’s your better half? Rite? Well, it was really hilarious!!! We all had a good laugh out of it….and when we said, hey this is gonna be on the blog, she said “ ha, you offered to massage my bum. Make sure you put that too”…heheheeeee…. Now the two of us………well wouldn’t think twice about having to help eachother at all…we’ve been through a lot together…and will continue to do so….sometimes it’s a gift and a blessing to have someone like that in your life…a true friend…a best friend…..coz there’s such a lot of evil in this world…that the end of everything is that you are run over by someone else and hurt in the worst way possible..But having someone like (Jinie having Jay and Jay having Jinie) is a well made plan in heaven!!!!!:) * Names have been changed!!

Marzipan Babies....

Thought you'd be as fascinated with these as we were. These are made with marzipan (almond paste and egg white)....... really unbelievable! While some of the faces may look "crafted" rather than "real", every detail is amazing, and the rest looks VERY real. And whats more.... you could eat them (not that you would!).

Few more days to go, to celebrate the big V Day

When it comes to the month of February all we remember is February 14, Valentine's Day. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine".

Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. People have different opinions on celebrating Valentine’s Day. Some think it’s the best way to show love and affection to your loved once, sometimes it’s just a waste, etc

So what are your plans for this day?already getting ready for it? Well, when we were in school and then early years of Uni, there was a major hype about it…All looking forward to the so called “Valentine’s Ball”..But somehow it seems to have died down a little bit….Is it that we’re more matured, or can’t be bothered, or consider it to be a waste of time or resources, or can’t wait for that day to have a brilliant time with your loved one which will turn out to be an everlasting memory????????? Well, it’s upto the person we would say…..atleast it’s the season where high sales of fresh roses are encountered..so what the heck….lets all just enjoy it…

Quotes on Friendship

Some of our favorite quotes on friendship and we thought that we would share it with all you guys too….

Quotes

* “We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.”- Maugham

* "Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget." -G. Randolf

* "Never explain yourself. Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it." -Belgicia Howell

* “A real friend is someone who you can sit in complete silence with and still walk away feeling like you just had the best conversation of your life.” -G. Randolf

* “True friendship is when two friends can walk in opposite directions, yet remain side by side.” -G. Randolf

* “Side by side or miles apart, dear friends are always close to the heart.” -G. Randolf

* "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." --Walter Winchell

We believe, Friends are like television. Some are like PBS and always asking for money. Others are like the news, with sad tales to tell everyday, some are like that one station with the foreing language; you don't understand a word of it but you listen and watch anyway. And then there are the ones like the commercials, always changes, ever-so-annoying and only seem to be there when you are bored. But every once and a while you meet someone who's like a really good movie of the week or that one tv show you hardly ever get to see anymore because you're so busy. Our point is hold on to the friends you care about and since we don't have a remote control to mute someone or just change the channel, pick your friends carefully."

"Friends. A simple word isn't it? It's uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? We used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now we know that friends aren't that, they're the people that touch your heart. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it was with them. They're the people you canshare your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don't judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs and smiles. You're tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but greatest thing in the world.

In short Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."

Oh no...This is not what we were waiting to see....

Today we would like to share something hilarious that happened in the afternoon which also taught us all a good lesson about judging people….and the extent to which we can go wrong… Well we made an appointment with a young lady who works in a Government Office who was willing to provide us with information for a group assignment. The verbal conversation was handled by one of the guys in our group and the moment he hung up, he was soooooooo excited as the lady had sounded very “sweet” and he just couldn’t get the sweet melody of her voice out of his ears..so our friend Shawn* was overly excited and we could all sense the excitement in him and he was waiting for the day we were going to meet this lady (which was today). The appointment was made last Saturday and all that time he was trying to picture the owner of that lovely voice…Judging the sweet voice, he was expecting to find a very young, sexy & fair lady who could be small made and so on the list of features go….. In fact, he was soooo excited that he had planned out everything and was adamant that he got to do most of the talking..It’s amazing isn’t it, what wonders a seductive and nice voice can do, admist the fact that the physical features may not really match it. So, the big moment finally dawned and we were all eagerly waiting to see who this lady was that Shawn* was so interested in and was infact waiting to meet…..As the lady walked into the room, all mouths were shut….all eyes on her….and we were not sure of wat to say…as Shawn demanded that he was going to be the one to start the conversation…It’s amazing that he still had the guts to do it..But to ours and his sheer disappointment, it didn’t turn out the way he had imagined it..what we are referring to is the features of the lady... But we greatly admire his ability to stick to his plans and all went smoothly… Then we bugged him once it was all over and shared a good hearty laugh…now this topic will not fade away for a little while….he will be bugged!!:) and the advice he had for all of us was “ Never judge a woman by her voice”!!! and we would say that it’s the same for men as well….especially those with really seductive voices…they could infact turn out to be your worst nightmare………. * Names have been changed.

Break up or not????????

A little gossip for a change...

Are you ready for the recent developments of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline? Well, we do hope so..... The couple's split it still a hot topic back in the States. Kevin had left Britney and ofcourse the moment he did this, she had cancelled out all their joint credit cards and sent the Ferari that she had bought him back to the dealership!! Can u believe it?????? How shrewed...C'mon, you give a gift with a good heart and once things get a little messed up, you don't do wicked things like that..Take back gifts!!! No way.....we wouldn't do that.... If you were in a situation like that, would you ever take anything back which you had given your guy/gurl??

And the good news is that the two are back together...which means the Fereri is too..hehehee..:) But then again, chances are Britney's jus gonna get fed up with him anytime soon..It looks like Kevin's highly frustrated about jus doin all what she wants him to do ...That's coz she's the one who earns..and he's jus trying to get to the track where he'll find his own job and start earning too...and when things don't work out for Kevin, Britnet jus trashes his efforts...Now we really don't see anything supportive here, do we?

He had recently made a statement which said " She just wants me at her beck and call me a little househusband".

Now ladies, what do u think of househusbands?????What would ur approach be if ur man was without a job and u were able to earn and manage all expenses and stuff???? Have we ever seen anything like this happen around here???? well for one thing, we wouldn't really agree to it..How abt u???

Colombo Nights....

Its night time in Colombo. The dirt and the grime of the day is hidden under a merciful cloak of darkness ..... NOT!!! Colombo doesn't sleep (much). As befits its status as a major city it stays up all night. The denizens of the dark offering you any pleasure you desire... for a price. So what IS there to do in Colombo at night?

First of all some basic advice - CARRY I.D. Thanks to our erstwhile friends in the North we now have check points at almost every major area in the city and you never know when you will be stopped by the Army or the Police or the MP's (Military Police, not the Members of Parliament). If you are caught without I.D. you may find yourself in for a protracted and potentially uncomfortable grilling session. Acceptable ID includes National Identity Cards, Drivers' Licenses and of course the ever popular Passport. If they seem rather brusque (which they rarely are nowadays, the top brass having made them take "sensitivity courses" or whatever they call them) have a thought for them. If you had to stay awake from midnight to 6 a.m. wouldn't you be P.O.'ed at about 2 a.m. too?

Now, with that part taken care of let's get to the meat of the night. The question is, "What do you want to do?" Just spend a night dancing away? Relax a bit? Have dinner? Watch the city life pass you by? All of the above? None of the above?

Let's start the night with dinner shall we? Now the choice becomes what do you want to eat? Colombo has almost everything. The choice ranges from the cheap and belly filling to the expensive haute cuisine. The range is international from the many (some say too many) Chinese restaurants to the Swiss to the all American Kentucky Fried Chicken. If you are going for Chinese the Flower Drum chain (is good) with its restaurants on Duplication Road and in Nugegoda. The Chesa Swiss on Duplication is pretty expensive but the food is fairly good (not much to my taste though). A good belly buster could be food at a fairly reasonable price is the Alt Heidelberg German restaurant near the Galle Face Brown ... errr we mean Green. A draft beer and a filling steak(hmmmm....maybe..maybe not)

Fancy some Indian food? Try the Shanthi Vihar at the Thunmulla. Vegetarian Indian food served cheap and in heaping portions. There is the Alhambra at the Holiday Inn for Moghul cuisine ("tandoori stuff" for the uninitiated), and the Khyber Pass Pakistani restaurant on the Galle Road just before Colpetty.

Of course Chinese, Indian, German, Swiss, Thai, Korean, Japanese and other internationals are just imports. The real food to have on a night out is some real Sri Lankan food. For a truly Sri Lankan experience try a good old roadside "thosai joint" where the waiters wear white sarongs, the food is very cheap and well yea, the atmosphere truly Sri Lankan. Or better yet try some Godamba Rotti, Egg Rotti and some scathingly hot Koththu Rotti. Wash it down with a glass of Faluda and you are ready to hit the night with money in your pocket and a fire in your belly.

Then Pilawoos on Galle Road is usually open 24 hrs a day and will serve the food right to your car (and the Americans think THEY have drive-ins).
OK, so you have filled your inner man or woman. You are looking for a place to go hang your hat. Well ppl, in Colombo you have more than enough of them. There are lots of night clubs in the city and in its suburbs. The Blue Elephant in the Hilton is unarguably the most high-class of them all.It doesnt have the frenetic speed of the other places, but its a good place if you want to relax a bit AND dance. Next on the list would be the Chapter One at the Oberoi. Last we heard, they were in the process of a hefty renovation, but it should be ready for occupation about now. Then there is the My Kind Of Place (MKOP to the regulars) but it is usually frequented by the teeny bopper crowd. One of the newest clubs is Valentino's at the Galadari Meridien a fairly high class establishment. The music is pretty good and the people interesting.

From the latest to the first. The Little Hut (lovingly known simply as "the Hut" by its many fans) at the Mount Lavinia Beach Hotel is definitely a fabulous place. It has good music, both live and DJ'd, good atmosphere and a good crowd. It has a fairly large dance floor, a videotheque and lots of places you can sit in a fair amount of seclusion. After the dancing you can cool off with a long stroll down Mount Lavinia beach ( a romantic place if there ever was one) or just relax at the poolside watching the waves break on the rocks below.
So you don't want to go dancing. You just want a place to sit and chill.

The best place is at the Echelon Pub at the Hilton. With fairly cheap food and drinks, soft music and pool tables it is definitely a good place to be if you don't want to dance the night away. It is also a good place to get yourself wound up for a night of dancing or to wind down afterwards. If its Jazz you want try the Saxophone just opposite the Hotel Ceylon Intercontinental. Its a pretty eclectic crowd there but the live bands playing are pretty damned good.

Also keep a look out for the regular events that happen in Colombo. We remember the CR&FC used to have a "Rock Saturday" every third Saturday night of every month. It was a lot of fun and a good place to be. Look in the papers (especially the "Entertainment" section) for information about upcoming events.

On the way home after the wild nights you should stop at the traditional meeting place for all revellers - Pilawoos. Starting at 4 AM the crowd gathers from all the clubs to get some lime juice to clear unsober minds and coffee to wake up enough to drive home. Also you can get a pre-breakfast snack to tide you over until you wake up at noon.

All this is well and good, but what if you are not in the "club scene"? What do you do that is really fun? You can do my favourite night out routine. One that is enjoyed by many people in Colombo yet is different enough to be called "unfashionable" by the "in" crowd. But who wants to be fashionable? We want to have fun, right?OK this one is for the guys.. Well, there is only one thing to do. Get some of your friends together. Go to a liquor shop, get some bottles. Go to the Galle Face Brown and get thoroughly liquored up. If you want food there is always Nana's (hot hot hot) and usually an Elephant House ice cream van is parked there. Sing and dance away until the wee hours of the morning.

So there you go, lots of things to do on at least one night out. And if you pace yourself you can set up almost a month's worth of weekends. So good luck, enjoy yourself and please be careful.

Love or arranged marriage???What would you prefer?

Whenever we talk of wedding we try to equate it with arrange marriages. In Asia the social structure is such that we associate marriages mainly with arrange marriages. Most of us have the feelings that arrange marriage is the concept of society. But history tells us that arranged marriages use to happen even in the Victorian age. The history of England tells us that most of the kings and queens had arranged marriages.

Love or arranged marriages is still a debatable topic in society isn’t it? People still debate on the issue, which one is better. What should be the basis of the marriage love or social norms? We are still confused about these issues. Education and media played a vital role in changing the perception of people’s mind. As people started thinking beyond the social customs and traditions of arranged marriages. They realized that they have the right to choose their life partner without any kind of social pressure. It is after all their life. They can decide without having to rely on parents, relatives and matchmakers. This change in the mental set up of the people gave birth to love marriages. Now people are open to love marriages. It is no more forbidden in the society. In our country we are having both love and arranged marriages. If we start comparing love and arranged marriages we will see that both has certain pros and cons. But the common factor in both the concept is physical attraction. When a man and a woman go out on their first date physical attraction is the deciding factor. Same in case of arranged marriage where the relation starts only after the girl or boy likes each other. But there are certain things, which are found in love marriages and not in arranged. Like spending time together and getting to know each other. Because when you have decided to spend the life together it is important you know the person. There should be metal compatibility and understanding among both of you. And this happens when you spend time together. On this people may argue that even after knowing each other for so long than why people get divorced after marriage. It is because when two people are in love they are at their best to impress each other. They behave, they talk and they wear what the other person likes. But it is after marriage that you get to know the real person. There are couples who are still discovering each other even after twenty years of their marriage. This is the actual beauty of a relationship where everyday you discover a new thing about your partner.So whether it is love or arranged ultimately it is up to the individual to decide, which one to go for. Love or arranged both is based on empathy, responsibility, commitment, love and concern. So it's not just about initial love and attraction it needs a lot of dedication and effort to sustain a marriage. So there is nothing like an ideal marriage it's all about the way you perceive your marriage. After all you should be happy with your life partner irrespective of love or arranged marriage rite?

Desperate Housewives....one of the best prime-time soaps!!! You gotta watch it!

Hey all.... Have you ppl watched Desperate Housewives lately???? Yeah well it's been sometime since it has been aired..but it's really cool and funny and so true. It reflects alot of things that happen in our neighbourhoods...well ofcourse this is westernised... here's a little review into the series : "how much do you really want to know about your neighbours?" All is not as it seems on Wisteria Lane, the pristinely manicured suburban setting of televisions hottest prime-time soap. We learn this within the first few minutes of the DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES pilot episode, when seemingly sane and happy housewife Mary Alice Young removes a revolver from a drawer and shoots herself in the head. The show basically asks "how much do you really want to know about your neighbours?" The problem is that, as Susan Mayer says, "Sometimes people pretend to be one way on the outside when they are totally different on the inside." That's something true of everyone on the show. You gotta watch this...it's really amazing and quite cool..I'm sure you would love it instantly!:) Like we did...:)

Miss you Jay.......:(

Hey everyone...a very good morning to you all! I'm feeling kinda bored and sad coz Jay left to India for a week yesterday morning.

Hilarious diet tips for the ladies....:)

Hey ppl, when we were surfing the web, came across this hilarious article....BUT PLS, Don't take these humorous diet tips too seriously, they're just for fun!


Success is when you can look beyond food...and look down and see your feet.


* To make your hips and thighs look slim on the beach, dig two tunnels under your thighs and make a small dent in the sand for your bottom. Place your towel over the top and sit in the dug out area. Hey presto, no bulging thighs and hips.

* Always stand 3/4 on for photographs ..... really slimming

* Stand next to a person fatter than you whenever possible and never ever befriend a real skinny!!!

* Always eat in private, if people never see you eat, they'll believe you when you say you have a thyroid problem

* If you have a problem with eating too much in the evenings, go to bed at 7.30 pm every night and ask your partner to hand cuff you to the bed, you never know, you may solve two problems in one, by spicing up your sex life at the same time ;)

* If you do know someone who's naturally skinny, have them come and live with you for two weeks and eat exactly what they eat at exactly the same times. You are guaranteed to lose weight!

* Con your friends into thinking how good you're looking lately ..... study and memorize your most flattering pose in a mirror and ensure when anyone sees you, you strike the pose..... note, this only works if you then don't move again until they've left the room.

* Cross your legs at your ankles. Your thighs and calves will look slimmer.
Get a tan. A tan helps you look thinner

* Whenever a friend calls round, tell them you're on your way to the gym, word will get round about how fit and healthy you are.... and you may feel it necessary to prove it once in a while

* 100 laughs a day is equal to 10 minutes of exercise!

Now can it get any easier than that

A different opinion...

As we all know, Miss Iceland, Unnur Birna Vilhjalmsdottir, a part-time police officer who wants to be a lawyer, was crowned Miss World 2005. Well yes it would have been one tough competition. But on a personal note, many girl gangs do agree 2nd runners up Miss Puerto Rico, Ingrid Marie Rivera Santos, was definitely much more prettier and looks more deserving... What is it that Unnur had over Ingrid???????

Well yes, we do remember listening to the former Miss world saying that she looks at women who have a more innocent look on their faces and especially the look they have in their eyes is of more importance..... But don't you think it can be very deceiving and biased??? It's a little confusing here......

We've learnt that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change

Change is inevitable.....isn't it? Both of us went for a gathering recently where we met a few of our old school mates.Some of course haven't changed at all..They're still the same crazy people we used to know fromback then. It makes way for one to take a long stroll down memory lane of how beautiful school life was......with no worries, and all the fun times we had together.It Just makes one want to go back and live through it again... But the sad fact is that we all have to move on and leave it all behind. Then, there are people who have matured and forgotten to keep alive 'the child' in them and have become too serious that they just don't really see the importance of having fun in life anymore,which is really sad ... And then, we have people who begin to reveal a part of their true personality that we never saw before.. people who turned out to be nice have suddenly changed.....for the worse. I should say this sudden shift in their personalities is astounding as you begin to think.."what happened to them?" Why do we see a sudden change in them?? It makes life so depressing. Those who seemed to be really nice before and those who were close......are just not the same anymore. Where on earth did things go wrong? Well atleast one thing remains the same??Jay and Jinie are still the same!!!! Heheheeee?Touch Wood.... Maybe a little nuttier, and definitely a bit more mature. We have no clue as to why people change, but one thing that we can say is - never change your self. Be the same as who who were when you first met your friends and thats the best gift you can give him/her... :)Anyway guys plzz let us know why some people tend to change and be different??? And if there are changes..........may it all be for the better....:)

Ways of being rejected.....

Hey, this is Jinie. The weather is lovely today, and all I wanted to do was sleep...Until one of my close friends Maya called me all the way from Dubai with the sad news that she just broke up with her boyfriend....Yeah well, it's not her fault. He had cheated on her and so on the story goes......Well as girls, it's always a little relieving when we 'talk it out with someone we trust'. So i sacrificed my sleep for a conversation that lasted over an hour. Atleast the tone of her voice was much better at the end of it and she felt better.... Then I also remembered this e-mail....and the extent to which it is true.... I don't really know....so lemme know what you guys think.. Top 10 Rejection Lines Given By Women : (and what they actually mean) 10. I think of you as a brother.(You remind me of that inbred banjo-playing geek in "Deliverance.") 9. There's a slight difference in our ages.(you are way too old for me.) 8. I'm not attracted to you in 'that' way.(You are ugly.) 7. My life is too complicated right now.(I don't want you spending the whole night or else you may hear phone calls from all the other guys I'm seeing.) 6. I've got a boyfriend.(I prefer my male cat and a half gallon of Ben and Jerry's.) 5.

Let's be friends.(I want you to stay around so I can tell you in excruciating detail aboutall the other men I meet) Top 10 rejection lines given by Men : (and what they actually mean...) 10.

Why worry???

Hmmm....Jinie wasn't really feeling too good about something...There was this little 'something' that kept bothering her for a while. And then one day this lovely e-mail was sent to her by Jay and it really made a lot of sense and these words would mke you feel a little better.....atleast for a little while.... well, just thought of sharing it with you all...and think about it.. Why Worry? There are only two things in life to worry about: Whether you are well or whether you are sick. If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you are sick, there are only two things to worry about: Whether you are going to get well or whether you are going to die. If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you die, there are only two things to worry about: Whether you are going to go to heaven or whether you are going to go to hell. If you go to heaven, then you have nothing to worry about. But if you go to hell, you'll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends, that you won't have time to worry! So, Why Worry? Be Happy Do not cry if the Sun sets at the end of the day, because the tears will not let you enjoy the beauty of the Stars.

Happy Girlfriend's Day!!!!!

Hey, I just got to know that it's girlfriend's day....Well afterall we chicks are a unique creation and we all have wonderful friends...not forgetting my best pal...So ladies...this one is for you too...Enjoy...and I'm glad someone ever came up with this. Only it needs a bit of publicity...what do you all think? Let us know.....

God did not intend for us to be all rich, beautiful, or great alone; but he does intend for us all to be friends .

Good times are even better when they're shared. A good long talk can cure almost anything. Everyone needs someone with whom to share her secrets. Listening is just as important as talking. An understanding friend is better than a therapist; And cheaper too! Laughter makes the world a happier place. Friends are like wine; they get better with age . Sometimes you just need a shoulder to cry on. Great minds think alike, especially when they are female! When it comes to "bonding," females do it better. YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD FOR SLUMBER PARTIES!!!! It's important to make time to do "girl things." Calories don't count when you are having lunch with your girlfriends. GEMS MAY BE PRECIOUS, BUT FRIENDSHIP IS PRICELESS!!!!! So all you girlfriends.....Happy Girlfriend's Day Ladies!!!!!!! p.s. and guys, don't forget to wish all your female friends.

VALUABLE TIPS FOR THE LADIES...

(This was taken from an e-mail)

HOW to tell He's Flirting with YOU or Attracted to YOU: 1. The Eyebrow Lift When a guy first sees a girl he's attracted to, chances his eyebrows will rise and fall. Quickly. (You can slip the flip of an eyebrow back at him, if you're interested - it's a clear signal both ways.) 2. Gaining Your Attention Exaggerated movements or gestures usually mean that he's trying to stand out from the crowd. He may shift positions so that he is standing slightly apart from his friends or a group of people. 3. Slight Parting of the Lips His lips may automatically part for a second when your eyes first meet. 4. His Nostrils Open Slightly - Face Widens As his eyebrows raise and nostrils flare slightly so with the parted lips, he has an open, friendly expression on his face. 5. He Shifts to the Classic Male Courship Stance The macho stance (cowboy style) - he'll probably lock his thumbs in his belt or belt loops, point his fingers downwards, spread his legs about shoulder distance apart and tilt his head to one side. 6. Touches His Own Face He may rub his chin, brush his cheek with the back of his fingers or touch his ears. (He may not realize this is a combination of nerves and unconscious preening behavior.) 7. Strokes His Shirt Front, Smoothes his Jeans More unconscious preening - smoothing a shirt sleeve, tie, shirt pocket. (The equivalent of the female lip lick.) 8. Fiddles with His Hair He may smooth or tussle his hair involuntarily and more often than you might realize - again preening for you... 9. Eyebrows Arc While Talking He may, accidentally, exhibit a slightly surprised expression with slightly raised eyebrows - which means he is interested in you. (Forget the guy who looks at you with a smooth, relaxed brow and eyes - he thinks you're boring. You probably think he's boring so drop your eyebrows and more on.) 10. Sock Adjustment If a guy pulls up or adjusts his socks in your presence, it's an almost 100 per cent sign he's interested and trying to look his best. The big preening signal... There we go ladies....if you ever see any of these signs, you know what you are in for...(sorry guys!!:))

Faithful Friends are the medicine of life...PART 2

Now Jinie talks about Jay: Well….talking about Jay, I should say that we’ve known eachother for over 5 yrs and started off from School just as we started A/Ls…To cut short, she’s a “chick” (in modern terms) who loves to have fun and take life easy and something we both loved to do – bug other people!!!!!! Heheheee… We were always there for eachother during the good and bad times we’ve had to face in life and had countless occasions that have turned out to be everlasting memories… However, there is one scary fact that I’ve to mention here…although we’re accustomed to it by now, if something ever went wrong in one of our lives, something similar was sure to happen to the other…freaky isn’t it? But quite true… I should say that she is a person who gave life a meaning in the avenue of “true friendship” and definitely has never failed until this very moment….and the best part is that I still have the assurance that she will continue to be so till the end of our times on earth (which is a better way of saying, till death do us apart…..sounds very matrimonial, isn’t it?). I’ve to mention something about Pranesh, her younger bro….I always wonder why he hides from me whenever I go to her place. Well I did figure out the fact that he’s a little shy…..Then again there’s always something we never understand about our little brothers…..it’s like a mystery to be unveiled!!! Oh people….she loves to talk and talk and talk…….we constantly chat about something or the other and she definitely knows how add life to an extremely boring situation… During any kind of gathering if she’s not there……it definitely makes a difference coz one major element that adds a lot of life & fun is missing!!!!!! And her presence is always felt in a warm way…Whenever I'm feling down or in an extremely bad mood, she definitely knows the way to uplift my spirit which is very unique and something I'm always thankful for and need for the rest of my life.... So, she’s a person who loves to have fun, go shopping, chat both online & on the phone, play games, hang out, party, loves bollywood movies, sleeping, makes friends easily and would never forget to advice me in the countless things I tend to do,likes tennis, tends to undergo frequent panic attacks and of course cannot live a day without chicken!!! etc etc etc…and the list is endless….Oh and there are a few common things that we both hate…which will appear later on in this site…. Oh and I’ve to mention this, she’s also going to change one traditional aspect of weddings in her culture…..instead of playing the game that has been passed down through many generations, she’s going to play chess with her man on her wedding day….and I’m really looking forward to that day… You’ll get to know more about her as we share the crazy times we’ve had during our teenage years……

Faithful friends are the medicine of life.....PART 1

A glimpse of Jinie & Jay We realised that people are generally better at judging and describing others better than themselves....What can we do, it's afterall a part of human nature,don't you agree with us? Therefore, we decided to give a slight insight to eachother's personality.....where Jay will talk a bit about Jinie, and Jinie will talk about Jay... Let's see what Jay has to say about Jinie... "Jinie is 21 yrs old & has a very cheery character in her. She has one younger bro who just hates me to the max...what to do:(... i've been a friend of hers for nearly 6 years and we've been together at all good and bad times of life... i joined lyceum in the year 2000 and it was there where i first met her, from there onwards our friendship journey started... we were in the same school, then joined college together, we worked in the same company and now look we are doing the blog together and i'm sure u guys would know how close we are... we are just best best best pals and would remain the same forever... Jinie, she gets along with people quite well and people PLEASE watch out coz she has a very bad temper:)... hahahah.... she has a good habit and that's whenever someone is in need she is always there to help them out and give a lending hand. she make friends very quickly and quite forward. Both of us have done some really daring things to others and we shall fill u guys in a bit later... Jinie likes to party, luvs to eat gallons and gallons of ice cream, and also loves shopping. By the way, she is a MAJOR spenthrift... let me tell u one thing which she bust her money mostly on, that's RINGS... she just loves them and sooooooooooo crazy over them. I used to scold her for spending so much on them but she doesn't listen and the excuse she gives is that she can't stop buying them. She is so addicted to them... what can I do??? guys now u know what to get her for her birthday rite!!! i've let out one secrect... so just in short Jinie is a very nice person and will always be my best pal...
