If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman,
If you don't you are not a man .

If you praise her, she thinks you are lying,
If you don't, you are good for nothing.

If you agree to all her likes, you are a wimp,
If you don't you are not understanding.

If you visit her often, you are boring,
If you don't she accuses you of double crossing.

If you are well dressed, she says you are a playboy,
If you don't, she says you are a dull guy.

If you are a minute late, she complains it's hard to wait,
If she is late, she says it is a girls way.

If you kiss her once in a while, she professes you are cold,
If you kiss her often, she yells you are taking advantage.

If you talk, she wants you to listen,
If you listen, she wants you to talk.

IN SHORT...
So simple, yet so complex,
So weak, yet so powerful,
So confusing, yet so desirable,
So daming, yet so wonderful...WOMEN !

Let`s go Bananas!

I read this week an article on a blog talking about bananas. Mention bananas and I'll tell you you're going bananas. And it's true, I found out that it's very good for the brain. According to information in an email posted by the expat blogger, Here, There and Everywhere, bananas are
a sort of magic medicine.

She listed an endless list of benefits of the fruit. For instance, for the brain, to calm you down, for the nervous system because it has vitamin B, for depression, for constipation, for blood pressure, for morning sickness. Even for mosquito bites, bananas will help reduce the swelling. For overweight people, bananas help control blood sugar and craving for sweets.

By now, I thought it would stop because it covers many areas of health. But no, the article goes on and on. For ulcers, because it helps cover the lining of the stomach and reduces irritation. And imagine temperature control! I'm not kidding. But honestly speaking guys, I have a flu and I'm running a temperature. Should I try and eat a dozen bananas rather than take Panadol?

According to the article, bananas are good also for seasonal affective disorders. Do you think the whole of Kuwait should go and eat bananas to avoid the depression of sand and dust storms of the last two weeks? You open the window in the morning to see the sun and the whole earth around you is orange and dusty. You immediately close the windows and feel like you want to crawl back into bed and hide from the day. Do you think bananas can help us?

And look at that. Also for smoking and tobacco users! Oh my God, now it's a bit too much, guys. Then the Arab and the Third World should be number one consumers of bananas. OK, stress is similar to depression. Strokes, just imagine it. People who eat bananas have a 40 percent less chance of dying from a stroke! Last and not least, warts. To avoid having these ugly swellings, rub them with a piece of the banana skin. Eat the banana first!

Men are as Chatty as Women!

Men are just as chatty as women, according to scientists.

Researchers bugged 400 students to log their chats and found little difference in word count between the sexes.

The University of Arizona study, published in Science, conflicts with previous US research suggesting women talk almost three times as much as men.

Whether someone was an introvert or an extrovert was more important, said relationship experts.

In the study, women spoke a daily average of 16,215 words during their waking hours, and men 15,669 words.

Lead researcher Matthias Mehl said: "What's a 500-word difference, compared to the 45,000-word difference between the most and the least talkative persons?"

The most talkative man in the study used 47,000 words while the least used a little more than 500 over a few days.

Relate spokeswoman Paula Hall, a relationship psychotherapist, said the findings matched her experience.

"It's not fair to say men don't talk. Blokes in the pub don't stand around in silence," she said.

"The problem is not how much people talk or don't talk, the problem is how well people listen."

English Jokes!!! (The English Language)
Posted:Apr 16, 2008 4:17 am
Last Updated:Apr 16, 2008 9:42 pm

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?

Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
It ends.

High heels improve s*x life!

(from the net sources)

Wearing higher heels may improve women's s*x life, according to an Italian doctor.

Dr Maria Cerruto says 2ins high heels can help improve pelvic floor muscles, reports the BBC.

Dr Cerruto, a urologist and self-professed lover of high heels, set out to prove they were not as bad for women's health as some suggest.

Her study of 66 women under 50 found those who held their foot at a 15 degree angle to the ground - the equivalent of a two inch heel - had as good posture as those who wore flat shoes.

And, crucially, they showed less electrical activity in their pelvic muscles suggesting they were at an optimum position, which could improve their strength and ability to contract.

Pelvic floor muscles assist sexual performance and satisfaction, and also provide vital support to the pelvic organs, which include the bladder, bowels and uterus.

But they often weaken after pregnancy and childbirth, and as women get older.

Dr Cerruto said: "Women often have difficulty in carrying out the right exercises for the pelvic zone and wearing heels could be the solution.

"Like many women, I like high-heeled shoes," she added. "It's good to know they have potential health benefits."

The Story of Ralph and Edna!

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.
One day while they were walking past the
hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled
him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act
she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she
now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news
and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were
able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life
of a person. I have concluded that your act displays sound
mind. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his
bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."

Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon
can I go home?

Another night slowly closes in,
And I feel so lonely.
Touching heat freezing on my skin,
I pretend you still hold me.


Im going crazy, Im losing sleep.
Im in too far, Im in way too deep over you.
I can`t believe you`re gone.
You were the first, you`ll be the last.

Wherever you go, I`ll be with you.
Whatever you want, I`ll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

Watching shadows move across the wall,
I feel so frightened.
I wanna run to you, I wanna call,
But Ive been hit by lightening.

Just cant stand up for fallin apart.
Cant see through this veil across my heart, over you.
Youll always be the one.
You were the first, you`ll be the last.

Wherever you go, I`ll be with you.
Whatever you want, I`ll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

Im going crazy, Im losing sleep.
Im in too far, Im in way too deep over you.
Youll always be the one.
You were the first, youll be the last.

Wherever you go, Ill be with you.
Whatever you want, Ill give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

Whatever you want, I`ll give it to you.
Wherever you go, I`ll be with you.
And whatever you want, I`ll give it to you.

To really love a woman
To understand her
You gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought, see every dream
And give her wings when she wants to fly

Then when you find yourself
Lying helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman
You tell her that she's the one
Cause she needs somebody
To tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me, have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman

To really love a woman
Let her hold you 'til you know
How she needs to be touched
You've gotta breath her, really taste her
'Til you can feel her in your blood
And when you can see
Your unborn in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman
You tell her that she's the one
Cause she needs somebody to tell her
That you'll always be together
So tell me, have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman

Oh, you've got to
Give her some faith, hold her tight
A little tenderness
You gotta treat her right
She will be there for you
Taking good care of you
You really gotta love your woman, yeah

And when you find yourself
Lying helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman
You tell her that she's the one
Cause she needs somebody to tell her
That it's gonna last forever

So tell me, have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman, yeah
Just tell me, have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman

Oh, just tell me, have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman

Real Talents Counts!

Two weeks ago a friend of mine give me this off. message: "YT Arnel Pineda faithfully". You`ll love this one. At first my reaction was, whose that guy?? (Of course, from the name, sounds like from my hometown but with no expectation on my part). She told me her cousin watched the Journey`s concert in Las Vegas and shared this one to us.

After hearing his music, I was blown away! I am a rock ballads fan, IMO it takes a tremendous lung power to sing rock and he CAN! Before I knew it, I find myself addicted to his song that I listen to him everyday. I found out that he`s now the new vocalist of the american band "Journey". I guess many of you are familiar with the songs "open arms" & "don`t stop believing". Some people named him as Steve Perry of the Philippines. Well, it is partially true but I think his more than that. This dude has this wide range pipes that he could "imitate" the voices of Bon Jovi, Air supplys, Survivor and even Bryan Adams.

Usually original is always the best but when I heard him singing the Survivor`s "Eversince the world began" I think his version is better. With "The search is over" they`re both equally good. But... with Cheap trick`s "the Flame" his much better than original. See for yourself to prove me wrong if you think I`m exaggerating...

What I find it hammer, it`s Neal Schon himself, (the rock god guitarist of Journey) who pursuaded him to audition for the Band.... and rest is rock history.

It`s really amazing that regardless of what race you are, what country you belong or what color of your skin, REAL TALENT COUNTS!

I just hope that those hard core fans of Journey will also accept and appreciate him the way they loved SP.

SMILE!!

(an excerpt)

A smile cost nothing but it gives much.
It enriches those who receive
Without making poorer those who give.
It takes but a moment,
But the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty,
That he can get along without it,
And none is so poor but
that he can be made rich by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home,
Foster goodwill in business and is
the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,
cheer to the discouraged,
Sunshine to the sad and it is
the best antidote for trouble.

Yet, it cannot be bought, begged,
borrowed or stolen,
It is something
that is of no value to anyone
unless it is given awayS

Some people are too tired
to give you a smile.
Give them yours,
as none needs a smile,
So much as he who has
no more to give.

... and make it a smile from the heart!
