You deserve a fucking phone call - a dating advice!

I think this one is worth sharing, this goes out to all the girls out there who's been in doubts about the person their dating.  Value, love and respect yourselves ladies - cuz the only person who will do these things to you is only you!.. :)

Yeah, you deserve that fucking phone call.

Choose the Real You!

One thing that we need to learn in life is to choose our own way or path. Be wise, don't let anyone dictate you, choose what seems fit for you, what are those things that can make your happy, those things that can fill your heart. Make your own way, and don't let somebody made one for you!

We should at least ask who we are, what we need and we want to be, because we cannot live peacefully if we can't even accept ourselves. People will love you because you accept the real you.

"JUST LISTEN TO YOUR HEART.."

Believing and trusting yourself is still the most effective way of surviving our lives. Live happily, be the one who can actually make others and of course yourself happy.

When in doubt pray.. Be Bless always.

What is your definition of LOVE?

How would you define love?

Though love was categorically broken , this one is concentrated on your attraction towards the opposite sex.

Love for me , is an understandable feelings towards that very special person. Mixed emotions that sated your inner being through out.



                  Takumi Usui's definition of Love


They say, Love often contrasted with Hate. But for me, the reason why you feel hatred towards the person you love because, you are scared of your feelings or might not understand what you feel inside.

So take time to evaluate your self, listen to your heart and set back, wait for that very special moment of finding your one true love!

Be who are, choose the right path made just for you!

There are few things that will enhance your true personality, but the best thing you can do is be who you are and choose the path that perfectly made for you!


One of the best inspirational quotes I've read.

As you start your journey, seek GOD's guidance he will always give's you light in time of darkness. Enjoy your daily journey, and be bless!
