General love traits of the Cancer woman

Having a thin-skinned sentimentality, the Cancer woman can let circumstances drive her love life. She is very receptive to those she loves, thus they exert a great influence - good or bad - on her fate. You can easily make suffer a Cancer woman because she is hypersensitive, but whatever her pain is, she accepts it silently and with resignation.

Generally, the Cancer woman strongly feels the need to find a partner with a heart big enough to give her the generous love she dreams about. She needs the loved one to bring her tenderness and affection, and she is ready to give it back. Her primary dream is a marriage of love, and she aspires to find a responsible man able to give her life a stable basis.

Many natives of the Cancer zodiac sign find happiness in a relationship marked by stability and complicity. And so she can completely open her heart and offer her partners large displays of affection and kindness. Moreover, a happy Cancer woman always tries to imagine how to enhance the relationship.

Astrologers often blame Cancer women for preferring quantity over quality, but it must be said in her defense that she naturally attracts many men. However, this does not mean that she is always fickle and unfaithful. She is also accused of being capable to create extravagant disputes, to engage the relationship on the unbearable field of emotional blackmail, and to adopt childish attitudes.

But, full of tenderness, affection and romance, the Cancer woman gives herself without reservation to the man she loves. If the relationships completely fulfill her, she will act with sincerity, innocence and passion. In return, she has a huge need of love, which must be clearly demonstrated. With her partner, the Cancer woman is full of tact, sensitivity and thoughtfulness. But she can also be possessive and jealous.

To satisfy her vital need for emotional security, and because she deeply likes to feel tenderness and love at home, the Cancer woman truly hates celibacy and tend to marry very young. If circumstances require her to live single, she can feel extremely unhappy.

My advices to seduce, date, and keep the Cancer woman

Emotional and tender, the Cancer woman you love has an extreme sensitivity. Therefore, she is obliged to find ways to protect herself from the outside world’s attacks that hurt her so much, even if she tries to hide it. That is why she is so attached to her family, her home, which are for her the most comfortable refuges.

Indeed, she who is discreet in her profession might be very different at home. If she feels that you are responsible enough to take the important decisions, she will show the same discretion. But if you do wrong, her perfectionist nature and personality leads her to hold the reins. In that case, do not try to challenge her authority.

Note that the Cancer woman often shows great anxiety and constantly needs to be reassured. As she fears more than anything to be abandoned by her partner, she will like to hear you repeat tirelessly, day after day, that you love her. Do not deprive her from these reassuring repetitions!

Keep the most attentive care to each other as much as possible, especially during periods when her latent anxiety intensifies. Show her your unreserved commitment. When she feels stability, the Cancer woman fully open out and will offer you all the treasures of love and tenderness she has deep inside of her.

Compatible Zodiac Signs

These zodiac signs are very compatible and harmonious when combined with the Cancer zodiac sign.

Taurus and Cancer – These signs are very compatible. They are both very loving and affectionate.
Cancer and Cancer – Both would be very happy together. They would understand each others sensitivities and moods.
Leo and Cancer – The Cancerian is actually attracted to the Leo personality. Very compatible union.
Scorpio and Cancer – The Scorpio man easily copes with the Cancerians moodiness.
Capricorn and Cancer – On the surface the two might seem a bit mismatched. The Capricorn is often misunderstood.The Cancerian is full of great sensitivity. These two share traits that have the ability to create a balanced and harmonious relationship.
Cancer and Pisces – An ideal combination. They both value love, friends, family, and home life.

Incompatible Zodiac Signs

Signs that are not compatible with include the following.

Aries and Cancer – The Aries man is too aggressive for the woman born under this sign.
Gemini and Cancer – The Cancerian personality is too domesticated for the Gemini man.
Virgo and Cancer – The Virgo man's hyper critical nature easily hurts the cancerians feelings.
Libra and Cancer – Libra's demand for constant attention causes too much disharmony.
Sagittarius and Cancer – The Sagittarius man's roving eye would wreck the relationship.
Aquarius and Cancer – Aquarian men are very social exactly the opposite of the home loving female born under this sign..

Cancers need to be needed in a relationship. The typical Cancer is kind and generous, and in return, asks only for love, fidelity, and sympathy. Cancers forge intuitive and even psychic bonds with family members, significant others, and friends, and they do not easily forgive a betrayal or unkind word.

Loyal and Protective

Unless the ascendant (rising sign) is in a more intellectually detached sign, Cancers tend to be loyal and somewhat possessive. They usually prefer monogamous romantic relationships and very close, emotionally involved connections with friends. Cancers tend to have a smaller number of very good friends rather than a large group of shallow or casual associations. They are fiercely protective of those they care about and prone to jealousy.

Sensitive and Compassionate

Cancers usually have difficulties with intellectually detached people. Even if they enjoy intellectual pursuits, they require sensitivity, compassion, and emotional input from those around them. A hurtful action can cause a Cancer to retreat for days, so it’s important that Cancers find kind, gentle, and very diplomatic partners and friends. When feeling hurt, Cancers may become grumpy, silent, or gruff to hide their vulnerability.

Reliable and Comforting

Cancers tend to be reliable, and they are extremely generous with time, energy, and resources when it comes to helping a friend or lover in need. They offer both emotional sympathy and practical help for problems, as well as a generous helping of comfort food when needed. Most Cancers are patient with friends or lovers who are ill or unhappy, and inclined put their own needs aside in order to meet the needs of others.

Self-Sacrificing

Cancers give 100% of themselves to their mates and families. They can be very solicitous and self-denying, in many cases doing most of the housework and childcare. They may also find themselves in one-sided friendships in which they do most of the giving. If they’re not careful, unreciprocated generosity can become endless self-sacrifice, eventually resulting in a resentful martyr complex and in some cases, passive-aggressive behaviour.

Cancer Dark Side Personality

Crabbiness, worry, and pessimism can be difficult to manage Cancer personality characteristics. This can be the dark side of a Cancer's personality, but it is are not limited to just Cancer. People born under signs other than Cancer who have these types of personality characteristics could make use of this advice.

Cancer Personality

The Cancer personality can be cynical, pessimistic, worrying, crabby, grumpy, and ill at ease. Like the Taurus, many born under Cancer will find themselves in positions where their "negative" personality traits will be rewarded. They can be accountants, lawyers, investigators, soldiers, prison wardens, or other professions that involve a certain degree of negative thinking.

The Cancer Man

The Cancer man may enjoy competition, but he is not necessarily as determined to win as the Leo. For the Caner man, the fun is not in winning, but in humiliating the opponent. The Cancer man can be a bully, a practical joker, or a fierce protector. His reliance on negative thinking may lead him to believe that approaching women will be futile, so the Cancer man is sometimes prone to shyness around the opposite sex.

The Cancer Woman

Many Cancer females fight like Cancer males, but others fight using the weapons of words. Some Cancer females are catty, enjoying gossip and rumors. They have long memories and do not forgive and forget easily. They enjoy getting respect, but will only give it to others if they deem them worthy of it.

Cancer Love

Cancer's traditional crabbiness can complicate romance. Someone with a fiery temper, like an Aries, or easily hurt feelings, like a Pisces, may initially clash with a Cancer, though once they understand that they should not take things too personally, the relationship can begin to work. The consideration of others and using kind language can be an effort for a Cancer, but it is an effort that they are willing to make if they know it means a lot to someone that they love.

Chinese Eat Baby Soup for Sex (No Kidding)

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:43:00 +0000

WARNING! This post contains disturbing images.

I've been Google-ing "disgusting food" and hope to find image of disgusting foods in Indonesia. Didn't find any. BUT!.. i found this old article from 2008 "Chinese Eat Baby Soup For Sex" and what you are going to read is really shocking and and Unbelievable. Here I quote from the news i read and for those who already knew about this, sorry for being so "last year" :-)

"Some of the Chinese people are known to be eating babies and the news circulated through the internet or via Email communication is shocking the world.
An Email report received by The Seoul Times confirmed that news with several vivid and appalling pictures of human embryos fetuses being made into a soup for human consumption.

The report went on. A town in the southern province of Canton (Guangdong) is now on trend taking baby herbal soup to increase overall health and stamina and the power of sexual performance in particular.
The cost in China currency approximately $ 4000 (it is about Rs2000). A factory manager was interviewed and he testified that it is effective because he is a frequent customer.
It is a delicacy whereby expensive herbs are added to boil the baby with chicken meat for eight hours of boiling and steaming.

A human baby is being prepared for food with herb in China

Those baby who is close to be born and die naturally costs 2000 in China currency. Those aborted ones cost a few hundreds in China currency.
Those couples who did not want to sell dead babies, placentas can be accepted also for couple of hundreds.
One local reporter was quoted as saying that this is the problem arising from Chinese taking too much attention in health or is the backfire effect when China introduced one child in a family policy.

A human baby is dumped into the water for boiling in China

Cutting the baby Chop..chop..chop..!!

This heinous crimes rise from the fact that majority of Chinese people prefer to have male babies and the poor families end up selling their female babies.
Dead babies can be purchased in Taiwan for 70 US dollars for being used as grilled delicacies."

Head of boiled human baby is about to be served at the table

Aren't you mad and pissed when u hear there are HUMANS who eat foetus JUST because they want to perform Great Sex ? INSANE'!! Why can't they just take Viagra instead being Cannibal? Obviously they are coldhearted human. and I dont know why i still think they're Human. AAArgghhhhh and YUCKK!! are my response. Oh Gosh i think i wanna throw up... :(

Dont they have some kinda law to put the canibals behind the bars? if they dont have it, they should start making it.

Caught in the rain?

noreply@blogger.com (Seaker Rich) — Sat, 02 May 2009 16:02:00 +0000

Did you ever get caught in the rain unexpectedly? Do you remember those experiences? Even if wearing good clothes, do you laugh? I know I do. For some reason every time I get stuck in bad weather I remember it and love it. I could be running and all of a sudden bang, some thunder and then the rain. I don’t care if I get muddy, I even encourage it.

One time I got caught driving with the top down in a down pour, no place to pull off the road. I turned on the wipers and whoosh, a sheet of water came flying into the car off the wiper. I got so wet that I was wet down to the bone. Squish squish! This happened at the very start of a vacation. I could not care less. What was even better was I passed a group of college kids in the same situation. They were all screaming and laughing. We exchanged laughs and I felt young again.

Child Abused by Indonesian Maid

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:55:00 +0000

This is video of Indonesian maid working in Malaysia abusing 3 years old little girl. I can't believe what I see, but hey this is really happening. Hope that psychotic woman rotten in jail. I wish she knows what she did will give a long term effect to the girl. Personally, I've been through this when I was a kid. Physically abused by my 'dearest' mom (I'm being sarcastic here), I'm not going to tell you in details what happened in my past, since it brings me back bad memories and I don't want to start crying big tears while writing this.

Research does indicate that there is a relationship between child abuse and BPD. People with BPD report high rates of childhood sexual abuse and/or physical abuse. Forty to 76 percent of people with BPD report that they were sexually abused as children, and 25 to 73 percent report that they were physically abused. So, while there is a good deal of research that links childhood abuse to BPD, there is also evidence that about a third of people with BPD report no abuse.

Just in case you don't know what BPD is you can check my post My Mental Disorder

Borderline personality disorder is a mental illness that causes intense mood swings, impulsive behaviors, and severe problems with relationships and self-worth. People with this disorder often have other problems such as depression, eating disorders, or substance abuse.

There is also evidence to link BPD to other forms of child maltreatment, such as emotional and physical neglect. In fact, some research suggests that emotional and physical neglect may be even more closely related to the development of BPD than physical or sexual abuse (however, this is difficult to determine, since children who experience abuse also often experience some form of neglect).

What is your first reaction when you see that? Well, my reaction was, I never feel really want to chop chop & kick this sick woman on the face and break her legs with no mercy, after I see this video (I told you I think I have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) :P

PISS?

noreply@blogger.com (Seaker Rich) — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 03:21:00 +0000

First off I apologize for the contents of this article. I usually am not so crude, however I may just save the planet or at least small parts of it.

Today is Earth Day in the US. It seems we celebrate it on a different day than the rest of the Earth which I find kind of ironic. (It’s also Vladimir Ilyich Lenin’s birthday. I always smell a conspiracy.) At work they have been tell us the evils of Styrofoam, wasted paper, the monitor accidentally left on over night. My personal opinion is we are in deep shit so it is a veiled corporate attempt to save money. Although we do recycle plastic bottles, probably a way to cash in on the 5 cents a bottle returns. For those not familiar with the US, certain states tax each bottle. You can redeem the money with the empty but I think they count on you not doing that, the same way department stores count on you to never use that gift certificate from Aunt Sadie.

I digress, story continues.

So I woke up wondering, “how can I do my part”, you know, “Save the Planet.” I was standing in the shower when it hit me, pee in the shower. Yup, that’s right, pee in the shower. Why? Well I save 1.6 gallons of fresh water by not using the toilet. According to the stamp on my throne each flush is 1.6 gallons. I know I should put a brick in my tank, sorry. But still think of it, if everyone followed the Pee In Shower Stall (PISS) standard, all the fresh water we could save? They call fresh water Blue Gold. Although the planet is 70% covered in water only 2% is fresh, and there is a shortage. So…..

Save the Planet – PISS every day.

Hey I did start out with an apology.

Esparks Coffee?

noreply@blogger.com (Seaker Rich) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 17:10:00 +0000

    I guess we can thank the banking crisis for this one. It was a rainy spring morning in Great Neck. I like my town because I am within walking distance of many stores, restaurants and other establishments. Anyone who knows Long Island knows that to get anything you have to get in your car and drive. So Great Neck is one of the few unique towns here. Like a city but not.

    Anyway I had to go my bank which is now Chase. WAMU (Washington Mutual) went under recently, Chase stepped in. BUT, this branch does not serve WAMU customers only the one on the other side of town does. So with umbrella up I continued my walk.

    Now I am an observant critter. I love to see what is around. Hey I found a better Chinese takeout recently, and it is closer than my old local fav. So now I pass a new coffee shop. I love coffee. It is legal. I look at the window, Esparks Coffee. Hmm, never heard of it. Looks all clean and new inside. Nice décor, looks like a nice place to sit and read for hours which is a favorite activity for me. I didn’t go in because I had to get home, I promised Verollete I’d be back.

    I found their website. Three stores, local to the Long Island/New York area. I guess let’s see if they grow, it may be the new Starbucks. Competition is good. I think I will skip Starbucks today and go to Esparks! Yippie!

The Journey Continues - The lonely guy travels again!!

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:30:00 +0000

hi verollete

I've been busy as always travelling around. Im in Bali and Lombok as usual but before that I went to Krabi in Southern Thailand with my senior students. We were there to do lots of physical stuff like rock climbing, sea kayaking, island hopping which is about 30 minutes from the airport. I chose aunang for the kids because its pretty safe and family oriented. There are a few bars and ladyboysdown a little alley but all you can get at the massage parlours is a massage!!! How strange. I saved a lot of money by booking tickets on Air Asia. I'd been warned about delays but having flown 10 times without problems i wasn't expecting anything I couldn't handle. as it turned out, it was a bit of a nightmare. We clocked up a total of 8 hours in delays over four flights and missed one connecting flight even though i'd allowed 4 hours. Luckily I'd kept some cash in the budget for emergencies and we went into Kuala Lumpur for the night and had a good time. Delays I can handle but the general indifference of Air Asia to my situation was irritating and they need to work on it a bit.
having said that , the terminal that they work out of is getting better and better.

Thailand is a great place to go - very clean, very beautiful, very laid back but when you need things to be well organized, the Thais are very good at making things like day tours start on time and run efficiently.

I'm at ther villa in Lombok right now adding a few things here and there and trying to relax a bit. Been coming here for years but I've only just discovered that the massage joints do plus plus!!!. Either I'm really dumb or my Indonesian is getting better. Nice guy that I am I thanked the sweet young lady for her flattering remarks about my body but said no. maybe the fact that my ex wife was getting a massage in the booth next door to me shut down my mojo. I got her HP number anyway just in case something comes up !!! By the wat ,you can see all about the villa on my website at www.vervevillas.com.

Whats coming up? Well,I've got to actually work for a while. Midyear I'm going to Australia to see the kids as usual then over to the Phillipines for some diving. Before then I'm taking some students diving in the 1000 Islands and going to Jogja for a weekend so I should have plenty of stuff for you.

here are some pix.

Luv Ya - mark

OH NOO!! BUG INVASION

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:07:00 +0000

I don't know if you have this happen in your country, here in Indonesia, it happens a lot. You see I grew up and live in Bogor, The raining City, it's because we have more rain than any other cities in Indonesia, regardless the season. Yesterday was raining around 6pm and I notice that I step onto this creature, we call it 'LARON', it looks like White flying Giant ant. Double Euww!! Disgusting. Once u found a LARON, be ready to be invaded by hundreds of them. Me and sis, was starting to turn off all the light sources such as, Lamp, TV, Computer. Cos Laron gathered around the light source. As we predicted . The next 10mins, My living room filled with Laron. They slam dunk into my coffee, and I don't know how they could get in my shirt. Their wings fell off so easily and as if Laron holocaust happened in my living room. There is no way you could escape from Laron dead body without stepping on it. I was wondering if my bf was here, he will say "bugs! Bugs! Bugs!" (he's anti-bugs).

The (Ideal) Body Story

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 18:54:00 +0000

We may not believe that there were times when a woman with extra weight on her body and look voluptuous became a trend and considered as IDEAL female body image and not ultra-thin bodies like you found in the pages of woman's magazines u read this morning. I'm not one of the skinny ladies u saw on TV or magazines, I'm considerably CURVY (I like the word Curvy rather than FAT :P ), I have fat short legs, and other 'fat' on the right places (and these are the only fat I love). Being FAT living in Ultra-thin people's world doesn't make me feel less beautiful or hot (well sometimes :P ). I'm doing a little research through Google and I found this interesting history of the female "Image ideal", and how time changed.

The Bigger, The more Beautiful

During the 1500 till 1800s The Rubenesque woman (also known as BBW = Big Beautiful Woman) was part of the ideal female body image. Until the early 1900's, for a woman to have extra weight on her body and look voluptuous was a sign of good health and wealth. You can tell from these paintings.

After The Bath, 1910,Pierre-Auguste Renoir

This painting, The Three Graces, done by artist Pieter Pauwel Rubens in 1639, shows what he thought was the ideal female form.

Sand Clock = Sexy

In the early 1900's, our culture saw a shift from this plump, voluptuous female form to a thinner frame with less curves. Plastic surgery and corsets became popular. If during the 1500s big waist was a hit, in 1900s slimmer waist equal with sexy (like the shape of sand clock). To gain the so-called ideal body, the majority of the women wearing corset as the new fashion item that was founded that time.

From Sand Clock to Thinner Frame

The 1920s saw the Age of the Flapper*. Thinness was the new sign of wealth. People started dieting and sports became popular pastimes as exercise began to be viewed as a healthy activity to enhance the body. Scales started to appear in both bathrooms and kitchens.

*The term flapper in the 1920s referred to a "new breed" of young women who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to the new jazz music, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behavior. The flappers were seen as brash for wearing excessive makeup, drinking, treating sex in a casual manner, smoking, driving automobiles, and otherwise flouting conventional social and sexual norms.

Chubby-Roe Era (Chubby Monroe Era) I made this up heheh

In the 1950's the ideal female body image was Marilyn Monroe, she was a size 14. Most likely, in today's standard of the ultra-thin body type, she would be considered chubby or overweight. I guess I'm in Chubby-Roe Era..

Tiny Twiggy

In the 1960's the waif-like look became popularized by the supermodel Twiggy Lawson. This was the first time in history that an underweight woman became the standard for the ideal body image. Please someone Feed her!!

In the 1970's singer Karen Carpenter began her battle with anorexia nervosa. She died in 1983 from heart failure related to the disease.

America began to pay more attention to eating disorders after this unfortunate loss. The aerobic exercise craze of the 1980's reemphasized fitness for women" Not only are "ideal" women supposed to be ridiculously underweight, but they are also supposed to be physically fit and toned without being too muscular.

Supermodel Kate Moss is known for having an excessively thin body. She became well-known after posing for a number of Calvin Klein advertisements. These pictures support the idea that movies and Hollywood actresses contribute to the unhealthy, extremely thin body image that is the current trend in our culture.

So the big question is (Drum Roll Please!!)..

What will be the female ideal in the next 5 years?

Is it the anorexia woman?

Is it the Obese woman?

or end up dead trying too hard to be thin?

With both eating disorders and obesity on the rise, it is clear that many women are striving for unattainable goals. With an ideal that's constantly changing, women are becoming even more frustrated with their weight and other body image issues. No one is sure who or what the new female ideal might be. But you can choose to make health your new ideal. It's a much more realistic and attainable goal.

And for me i choose to be ...

The Healthy Me

What about you? the choice is yours.

Older Men Have A Lot to Offer? Agreed!!

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:13:00 +0000

Looking back 8 years from now (Im goin to be 26 this July) I realize that 99% i was dating older guys, like 3 years older or 5 years older. And now im in a relationship (and i feel like deserve to be in Guiness Book of World Records) where i'm dating a guy with 20 years age-difference (I will let you do the math :P ). It's a record for me cos i've never dated a guy more than 10 years older than me.

This is my first time dating with a MUCH older guy. and trust me IT'S HARD!!! not the relationship but what people say about this relationship. Sometimes it makes me cry. People say I'm a gold digger, people questioning what my motives are, people say I'm just a mistress, that my boyfriend is only looking for a young fresh flesh to bang and blah blah blah... Actually I'm type of person who doesn't give a damn with what others say. But I'm just a human who knows when have to fight back.

I get responses from young guys who dated me or WANT to date me.Kinda guys who think they're better than my boyfriend just because they're young and good looking and hot. and some start to say that i'm only into his money.. (Hello?! trust me he's not Donald Trump. wanna punch anyone who say that right oh their face).

This is what I've learn, If having an older man or a younger woman makes you happy, hold your head high and don't let others influence what direction the relationship takes. Is it really that they don't approve or is it that they are jealous?

Reasons why i love older men

Down to earth

Older men are usually more disciplined and down to earth. They are more set in their ways and that can be bad thing if they have some bad habits. However, you normally won't find them out carousing at night. They are normally more of a home body that doesn't mean they don't go out. They usually like to go out with companions. The places they go are usually laid back.

One woman man

Older men prefer one woman and not dating a bunch of women. You won't find older men flirting with other women while they are out with a woman. Normally they are more faithful. Human nature being what it is there are always exceptions. Normally they are more devoted.

They know what they want

Older men normally know what they want. They have experienced the good and the bad in their life so they pretty much know what they are looking for. Reasons some older men don't date younger women is because they normally do not want any more children and younger women do. Older men have raised their children and can't fathom doing it over again. One of the other reasons some older men don't date younger women is because of energy level. They are afraid they won't be able to keep up. This is not just about sex either.

Sexual drive doesn't diminish with age

Older men still have the same sexual drive as younger men. They don't always have the same energy level of a 25 year old male. This can be a good thing or a bad thing for the women. If the women is more active she may want a younger man but if she is less an older man is perfect. Older men charge in like a rhino but when they are done they sleep like an rhino under a tree. For some younger women having an older man who they don't have to please every day maybe a godsend.

Financially secure

Not always but older men tend to be more secure financially. They have just had a longer time to work on it. Older men usually have a better work ethic than some younger men. Like in anything else nothing is written in stone it still depends on the individuals personality and habits.

P.S. I have a super-silly -with-chubby-cheeks boyfriend.. I don't feel like dating old guy.. except when he starts to talk about Stock and his old-schools fave musicians eekssss.... :P and we're going to tie the knot soon :D

Hi Verollete - sorry to be slow. Back to my travels. After I got back fromOz at Christmas I went to my house in Lombok for a while before flying out to Phuket in Thailand. Phuket is just an airport and a town. Where you stay is at one of the beach resorts such as Kara or Patong. Patong is where a lotof the nightlife is so I went there.

Its full of bars and clubs with bands, bargirls, ladyboys, "massage" places with plus plus,sunburned tourists etc etc. Even so, the place is really clean, the beach is lovely and the food is good. I was in a small alley down a side street and I made a really nice discovery there. The Thais love to stay up late eating drinking and chatting away. There are dozens of little cafes and bars along the side streets usually with only a few locals. I found a nice little bar where they made me very welcome so I just went there every night. One night they had a bit of a party for some reason and had a ladyboy in to spark verybody up - If I can find some pix of him/her I'll add them later. My main reason for being in that part of Thailand was to visit the amazing islands in the Andaman Sea. Famously used for movies like "The an With The Golden Gun" and "The Beach" the scenery is quite amazing and I have included plenty of pictures of my adventures for you to see.

Love as alwaysMark

Rules For Men

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 17:10:00 +0000

1. The Female always makes The Rules.

My Deadly-Smelly-Moments Eeuww

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:06:00 +0000

It was a FINE morning, like always i grabbed my cellphone and my headset and listening to Jason Mraz MP3 to accompany me during my 30 minutes trip to my office. Oh plus my OXford Pocket Dictionary (Yup this is my fave pocket book of all time :P ) reading this is as entertaining as reading Agatha Christie's Orient Express or Penthouse for you guys :P so i had no hunch at all that today it's going to be a SMELLY MOMENTS day

You see, as a Customer Service i have to give the excellent service to my customers right? that includes Smiling from 8 to 4, Patience, Sincere, and of course SMART. Smart to 'tame' the roaring customers, SMART to 'flirt' and cross sells, SMART to hold my breath for 2 minutes, inhale and hold it again for another 2 minutes because of a customer forgot to brush her teeth or take a mouth washer after eating PEMPEK. Gosh!!! No wonder Vampire avoid Garlic. Even human can't stand the smell.

(for those who doesnt know what PEMPEK is.. according to Wikipedia : Pempek, Mpek-mpek or Empek-empek is a delicacy from Palembang made of fish and sago. Pempek is served together with a dark, rich sauce called cuka (Baso Palembang: cuko, lit. vinegar). Cuka is produced by adding brown sugar, chili pepper, garlic, vinegar, and salt to boiling water.)

well that's a smelly moment #1, Smelly moment #2 was dealing with a customer with a body odor. OHMIGOSH it's even worst than the Garlic Lady. Do you think it's easy to manage talking, smiling, and holding my breath at the same time? you can try this at home so you can know exactly what I'm talking about. (oh God what sin did i do that you sent me these stinky people).

When i was thinking that my SMELLY MOMENTS day going to be over cos the clock showed 4pm (That means closing time), something happen in the air, the fresh-smell-room turned into the stinky-smelly-room. I instantly snapped to my beautiful-super-gorgeous-but-love-to-fart colleague "Did you just fart?", she just grinned and wickedly smiled and say "sorry, cant hold it anymore". Yikes!! since when she can hold her fart. The smell like she hasn't poo for a week.
everyone in the room hysterically said "EUWWW" at the same time and moving to a non-poisonous-gas area. Let me tell you, that was the second times she fart around us in three days.

I was thinking to plug her with a cork so she will stop farting anytime she wants ;P or ....give her a plastic bag to fart and a lighter (I'm sure it will be a deadly organic bomb heheheh..). Oh yeah and i wanna tell my Puppy (it's not a dog, it's my BF :P ) that he's lucky to have me, cos i only fart when i stay too long in an air conditioned room :P (P.S. my fart aint stinky as my colleague's.TRUST ME!

Anyway, a question comes into mind. Will you date a gorgeous girl but- since nobody's perfect- she cant help herself farting in public. Not that she does that on purpose, it's just that her 'backdoor' is like a free high way :P

Beef Cordon Bleu Vs E-Coli? Eekk...

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 18:55:00 +0000

Last Friday night me and my colleagues was having a karaoke night (If you think one of us can sing, well you are SOOOOOO wrong :P). The good thing about having karaoke with a non-singer-with-a-bad-voice is that no one will criticize how you sing or sound. There wont be the next Simon Cowel. Like always, i was being the clown. Making funny dances. We sang to Jason Mraz's, Rihanna's, M2M's, Peabo Bryson's and some of local band's hits.

Anyway that's not what I'm going to write tonight. Tonight I'm going to complaint bout my stomach ache. Can't sleep from 2 am till 6 am. My tummy so F***in hurt and i went back and forth to toilet every 10minutes. Is it because the Beef Cordon Bleu that I ate after that karaoke? It's a mystery!!

This is the second day I'm having watery diarrhea and STILL going back and forth to toilet. I need diapers people!!! Puppy said it might be food poisoning. So-like always- i look on my Google with da keywords Food Poisoning and yikes... there are different types of food poisoning.

The list of types of Food poisoning mentioned in various sources includes:

Typhoid fever
Botulism food poisoning
Infant botulism food poisoning
Ptomaine food poisoning
E-coli food poisoning
E. coli O157:H7
Salmonella food poisoning
Campylobacter food poisoning
Shigella food poisoning
Staphylococcus aureus food poisoning
Clostridium perfringens food poisoning
Vibrio vulnificus
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Yersinia enterocolitica
Norwalk-like viruses
Hepatitis A - occasionally foodborne.
Giardia lamblia - occasionally foodborne.
Cryptosporidia - occasionally foodborne.
Mushroom poisoning
Toadstool poisoning
Pesticide poisoning
Marine toxins

2 of those types sounds familiar to my ear: E-Coli & Salmonella. So let's check them out.

The list of signs and symptoms mentioned in various sources for E-coli food poisoning includes the 5 symptoms listed below:

The list of signs and symptoms mentioned in various sources for Salmonella food poisoning includes the 8 symptoms listed below:

So looking from the symptoms I'm closer to E-Coli than to Salmonella. Eekk... none of them are better. :( I know..I know.. you will say 'why dont you go to doctor to make sure?'.. I will. we'll see tomorrow. If i'm not getting better then i will see doctor (I hate doctor).

Now i'm goin to sleep. Hope i wont keep waking up to go to toilet. :(

XoXo

What Mental Disorder Do I have?

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:14:00 +0000

Yikes.. i took diff quizzes on the net.. and the result revolve around Manic Depressive, DO I REALLY HAVE THAT KINDA MENTAL DISORDER?!!! OHMIGOSH!! CALL A SHRINK!!! NOW!!...

What mental disorder do you have? Your Result: Manic Depressive You have extreme cycles of highs and lows. Sometimes you feel like you don't know who you are. One week you could be very hyper and happy and the next week you are slow and depressed.
Paranoia
GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder)
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)
What mental disorder do you have? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

It can't be Real!!. so what is Manic depression?

Manic depressive - What does it mean?

Manic depressive refers to mood swings from overly “high” (manic) to overly “low” (depressed). (I do have swinging moods).Another name for manic-depressive illness is bipolar disorder-(sounds like the polar bear :P). This refers to a person’s mood alternating between “poles” of mania (highs) and depression (lows). Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder that causes unusual changes in the person’s mood, energy, and ability to function (OH NO!! i think i might have bipolar disorder)
Manic-depressive illness or bipolar disorder affects both men and women. Although it can start at any age, it usually begins in late adolescence. Bipolar disorder is found among people of all ages, races, ethnic groups, and social classes. It appears to have a genetic link and tends to run in families (I think i got it from mom) Unfortunately, in addition to affecting the sufferer’s life, this disease also has the potential to devastate the lives of the caregivers and those in the immediate family circle.

The symptoms of manic-depressive illness or bipolar disorder are classified according to either manic or depressive episodes. Manic depressive states are diagnosed as:

Manic episode: A manic episode is diagnosed if elevated mood occurs with 3 or more of the other symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, or for 1 week or longer. If the mood is irritable, 4 additional symptoms must be present. (PHEWWW... my mood swings not occur everyday just SOMETIMES.. im quite relief)

Depressive episode: A depressive episode is diagnosed if 5 or more of these symptoms last most of the day, nearly every day, or for a period of 2 weeks or longer.

Mixed bipolar episode: In some people, however, symptoms of mania and depression can occur together in a mixed bipolar state. A person could have a very sad, hopeless mood, while feeling energized at the same time.

the different site said that

You May Be a Bit Borderline...

Your mood swings make a roller coaster look tame!
When you're up, you're a little bit crazy...
And when you're down, your whole world is crashing
Scary thing is, these moods can change by the minute!

Main Symptoms

Borderline personality disorder* is a mental disorder that results in four groups of behavioral symptoms:

excessive, unstable and poorly regulated emotional responses, especially anger;(I need to take the anger management class with EMINEM)
impulsive behaviors that are harmful to you or to others, such as spending sprees, excessive use of alcohol or drugs (Sorry I dont drink and do drugs), self-injurious acts (Hmmm... i tried to cover my face with pillow once and made me hard to breathe. i also tried to strangle myself but that's it. only happened twice. ) , and sexual indiscrettions (hmmm... i always becareful)
suspiciousness, misperceptions, an unstable self image, a poor sense of your identity, and difficulty in reasoning under stress; (OH DARN it's so Me)
tumultuous relationships that vary from extreme fear of abandonment to episodes of excessive anger directed towards a person very close to you, and the desire to get away from that person (wekkss.... i think that just happened recently)

Now i have so many questions in my head, cos i do have several symptoms of bipolar and borderline disorder : mood swings, impulsive behavior, suspiciousness and an unstable self image, and my biggest fear is being ALONE. But i dont think that im that severe. (except my moods of course) and for the impulsive behavior.. i never think to hurt others as much as to hurt myself. But i nver really tried to hurt myself, well, just strangled myself and cover myself with pillow. That was happened when i broke up with my bf.. like i said being ALONE is my biggest fear. sometimes there's no use of living without having someone whom i love and love me back.

I can be sooo sad and cant stop crying and the next second i can laugh and act like it didnt affect me that much. I can be so much in love with a person and also can be totally hate him if im being hurt.

P.s. i nver hit on the wall or anthing when i'm angry.. just throwing or break some little thing that i have it on my hand at that time..(like pen) but no throwing cellphone :P (My cellphone is too expensive to break hehehhe) it feels so relief when doing that. Like all my sadness and anger release..

so do u think im having bipolar disorder?

I'm In The Money......

noreply@blogger.com (Seaker Rich) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 19:55:00 +0000

...And everyone is mad at me! Let me explain. It was a slow day at work, not many people in because of a snow storm. It was payday too! The department next to me has some kind of drawing on pay days, everyone signs and puts a crumpled dollar in an old 'Super Size' movie theater popcorn bucket. So they approach me, I guess to sweeten the pot with some extra dollars.

Being the clown that I am I announce, "I am going to win!", while spaying my dollar with a bottle of Obsession I keep in my desk. Everyone laughs as I fold my dollar and place it in the bucket.

Well I had to go to the other building for a meeting, the drawing took place without my presence. There is no suspense as you already know who won, Meeeeee! But I came back and everyone was mad at me. Friendly but caustic comments were hurled my way! One; I was from a different department, two; because everyone felt I cheated. Like my prank cause some one's fingers to hone in on my dollar! Some said because I was not there they should draw again. Anyway justice prevailed and I am the recipient of $63, Yeee Haaaa!

Now I do think I did have somewhat of an edge. I cannot be sure but it is interesting. The clues are in the post. Do you know what it is? Hint: It pays to be different!

Melbourne - December 2008

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 05:49:00 +0000

hi Verollete
Please forgive my lazy behaviour, I have been busy but have not sent u any blogs.
over Christmas I went back to Melbourne to see the kids. That was nice, especially as my
daughter genevieve was buying a small house.
We had a nice Christmas lunch and I spent lots of time driving around in my hire car. Its tough being an aussie in jakarta because we just love driving down the open road. I saw plenty of beautiful beaches, farms and forests. Unfortunately some of thise forests are now destroyed. The areas affected by the recent fires were all well known to me. I know that one guy I knew was killed but they have not issued a list of the dead because they are still searching through all the rubble. I guess other people I knew were killed also.
Anyway, when I was in Melbourne all that stuff was still in the future. I had a good time going to the shops and eating my fave foods and drinking lots of wine. I brought back some olay olay and some toys for my indonesian friends which made them happy.

After Melbourne I flew to Lombok for New Year and then to Thailand. My adventures in these places I'll tell you about later. For now, here is a gallery of pix from Melbourne.
Bye bye

My 'Page a Day' Calendar Obsession

noreply@blogger.com (Seaker Rich) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 20:48:00 +0000

I have a confession... My name is Rich and I am a Calendar Addict. Every year after New Years I go to the mall where there is a temporary booth selling calendars of all types. It always seems funny to me. Dec 31, full price, Jan 2, %50 off.... Statistically they are still new!

Now I don't use these as calendars per se, well two do show up at work for my desk, but I use these because they are either full of cool obscure facts or are funny. Ok, the New Yorker calendar is really not very funny but to show my obsession I buy it every year hoping to find one solitary day that is funny. The joke to me has become how awful they are.

I read these in the bathroom, at work, in bed, anytime I want to read something but my head is too full for anything serious. Through the years I have learned about good wine, what to do if faced with a charging heard of elephants, snippets of philosophy, places to visit, corporate humor which as funny as it is is so sad because it is describes a large portion of my life. The all time funniest; The Far Side.

A few get left over from the years so the dates become meaningless. To me they exist for the pure pursuit of knowledge. And when I am done absorbing the nugget of wisdom what do I do? I tear off the page and use it for scrap paper!

Sleepy Head

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 14:50:00 +0000

Remember when i told you that last night i only slept for 3 hours (see Zinmag Remed y 2.0 ). Ok.. this is what you will look like if you only have 3 hours to sleep. Headache, look tired of course, getting INSANE!!!

You better stay away from me when i'm tired. Or I'll bite you.. Arrrrgghhh.. :P Are you good in Math? can u multiply 4 with 7? 4 hours X 7 days? well that's my sleeping time in a week. I think i will get older before time.. i will look 35 while im 25.. hiks hiks...

My phone rings...Puppy says :

Zinmag Remedy 2.0

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 12:40:00 +0000

*write this post with Jason Mraz's Butterfly as the back sound

As you can see, i haven't written on my blog for sooo long.. and now I'm back on track and trying to make a new fresh change on my layout. I was browsing through the net to find a new 3 column blogger template that makes me in love at the first sight.. and i found this cool template called Zinmag Remedy 2.0. Before i found that template,I installed the previous version of Zinmag Remedy,which was really difficult to edit . If you want to edit the top bar, the corousel, or the featured contents on the sidebar ,you have to edit it through the EDIT HTML, and you have to be extra carefull otherwise the error will occure. Plus the previous version always cause the Internet Explorer crashes whenever it try to download my site (Iguess it's not compatible with IE).

My site is using Zinmag Remedy 2.0 and i can tell that it's much easier than the previous one. it's more Widget friendly, u dont have to go to EDIT HTML part to edit ur top bar, side bar or corousel. Just copy the html (you can find it on Zinmag Remedy website) and paste it to PAGE ELEMENT. I finished the blog's layout from 8pm till 2.30 am (What a long nite :P ). The On-and-off connection also made me have to stay up and wait till it reconnect again and finish my layout ASAP. Even though i only have 3 1/2 hours to sleep and woke up at 6 and went straight to work, i guess it's worth it :P . But still....working with a sleepy head was so challenging.

XoXo,
Sleepy Head

Great View From Top

noreply@blogger.com (Verollete) — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 04:26:00 +0000

Me n my Fiance went to Talita Resort@ ciloto, Puncak-Bogor, Indonesia on Last November. Why we choose dis place cos, they seem have this unique n beautiful villas. Each villa has their own small pantry with cooking utensil, gas stove, fridge so perfect for us cos we want to cook for our dinner or lunch.

On our way to Talita we passed this Little waterfall site. We both love waterfalls... so there we were at Curug Cilember (Cilember waterfall). I was so worried cos Richie plunged into the waterfall, i mean i dont know how deep or how dangerous the waterfall is. I read sumone died there sucked into the whirl under da waterfall. Scary isnt it? perhaps that happened at the diff waterfalls but hey i dont wanna risk my beybie. :

This is the first waterfall we visited. Small but still beautiful. Never saw waterfall before.

my bodyguard :P

Curug 1000 (1000m waterfall)

Finally made it here

After we had fun n getting a little wet at the waterfall, we went to Talita straight away. First impression for me "Beautiful". It's really on top of the hills where u can see the mountain n da city from top.

We saw dis mountain view when we woke up n had breakfast.

A small wooden porch where my beybie reading like a grandpop hehehhe

Once upon a time in da morning. So misty n cold Brrrrr... gorgeous isnt it?

Our little house for 3 days.. sweet

We had sweet moments there. And Yucky Moment too (when a house lizzard landed a poo on my head when i was lying down)... n Bugs Buster Moment (when a huge bugs flying inside da house). We also had boring moments too since they dont hve Spa they advertised. Sucks! N No people than us n their employess... Weird! At least we had a laugh there..

Well see ya on the next post.
