A true understanding of love begins with the realisation that love is influenced by communication. Love always starts with a conversation, on some level. But to know more about how love works and how you can make someone fall in love with you, it helps to know a little more about yourself. So, just write down a few things about yourself, so you know where you’re coming from.

Just print this out (or maybe memorise the results if you have a photographic memory) and tick the situation that applies to you right now and you’ll begin to get an idea of what your personal goals are and also maybe who it wouldn't be such a good idea to get to fall in love with you.

Cinta memang luar biasa...
Very wide range description, i guess.
Selalu punya 2 akibat yang spesifik.
Selalu punya 2 hal yang kontradiktif.
Dan pasti, 2 rasa yang berlawanan.
Kadang, 2 anak cukup, kadang engga..
engga nyambung kalo ini, maaf ya.. :P

Cinta yang ini bukan Cintah Laurah.. ya..
Cinta yang ini bisa bikin banyak keajaiban, sangat malah.
Tiba-tiba aja kita jadi merhatiin hal kecil sepele, yang dulu dicuekin.
Heboh banget pokoknya... :P
Tiba-tiba aja kita sibuk teu puguh, teu puguh gawe, teu puguh rasa,
teu puguh sagala pokona mah.. (teuing ah..)

Tiba-tiba aja kita bisa bercerita tentang lukisan-lukisan terbaik
Leonardo da Vinci atau teori kesederhanaan Cantigi, loohhh...
Tiba-tiba aja kita bisa menginterpretasikan lagu dengan sangat
mudahnya. Semua puisi dengan gamblangnya. Bahkan laporan
tahunan MPR/ DPR yang paling membosankan sekalipun bisa kita
lahap dengan gampangnya (terlalu berlebihan kalo ini kali ya..) :D
Dan yang lebih ajaib lagi, kita, tiba-tiba bisa bikin lagu, bikin puisi,
bikin disain bagus, bikin artikel heboh di blog, etc. Semua terjadi
dengan kecepatan yang mencengangkan..

Pfffhhh...
Cinta memang luar biasa..
I guess, we never have an absolute conclusion about love.
Semua indera perasa, terpacu adrenalin yang bikin jantung berdetak
2 sampai 3 kali lebih cepat (such as orgasm, maybe, sorry..)
Muka pias dan tampak bodoh saat menanti sms, dan 8 detik
kemudian tiba-tiba larut dalam euphoria kebahagiaan saat ringtone
khusus berbunyi :P
Bahkan seorang waria, hidup atas nama cinta, walau harus
melakukan operasi trans gender sekalipun. Apalagi kita yang
manusia biasa ini...
baydewei.. siapa yang bisa mengelak dari cinta?

Jadi, pertanyaannya...
Mending jatuh dari pohon? atau mending jatuh cinta aja?
Anda pilih yang mana..? atau gimana..?

pfffhh lagi...
jadi inget Maroon 5 - This Love
..........
This love has taken it’s toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won’t say goodbye anymore
I’ll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything’s alright
..........
ciiieeee.... mantap bro..
(kalo mau dengerin, lagunya ada di DownloadBox)

Cinta & kasih sayang adalah anugerah terbesar Tuhan sepanjang
masa apapun untuk umat manusia..
Piss oll..

I said last week that I was going to make more of an effort with my relationship - that I had gotten lazy, and that I needed to put forth some effort to make things flow smoother, to be more loving. That was followed by a mini WWIII on Monday revolving around (surprise) drama related to my stepson, finances, my stepson's crackwhore mother, and my nerve to be upset about anything. Though my husband and I are both prone to outbursts, he's never straight out yelled at me like he did Monday. I ended up curled in a ball in bed crying while my six year old patted my head and offered me tissue - yes, it was probably one of my most horrifying mom moments.

He apologized later - said he realized later that he was yelling, that when he tried to lower his voice, he was still kind of yelling. He knew he wasn't being fair, he knew he was acting like an ass. He said sorry, but inside I just couldn't snap out of it. It was one of those moments where it was like I was sitting outside of myself wondering, "Is this truly my life? Is someone yelling at me?"

I'm not a believer in fairy tales, and I don't think that I ever have been. I don't believe in love at first sight, I don't believe necessarily that there is "a lid for every pot", I don't even believe that  love can conquer all. I'm far too cynical and jaded for that stuff, and that's just me - for those who believe,  well, I guess I'm a bit jealous. I wish I had more faith in love and human nature.

I have been married nearly eight years and I guess that there are things that fall by the wayside if you're not careful. I can say wholeheartedly that I love my husband, but when asked the other day if I was in love with him, it was difficult to answer. I equate the whole "in love" feeling with those butterflies and the shivers when that  special person says just the right thing, and you can't believe that someone is saying that to you and that someone feels that way about you. After eight years of marriage and eleven years together, well, sometimes it starts feeling like it's all been said. Every emotion that we are capable of having... well, haven't we had them all already?

He gets wrapped up in his golf and softball and I am wrapped in my writing and my music and it's like we work around each other sometimes. Does that mean I don't love him? No. Do we take each other for granted? I'm sure we do.

It's hard. Love is a great thing, it is, but being "in love"... I kind of miss it.

So does he.

Last night, he was hopping into the shower after a softball game and asked me to join him. It was late and I hate going to bed with wet hair, but I went in anyway. While it wasn't like the shower scene from any smut movie, it was nice to spend the time with him. Afterwards, we lay in bed talking for a long time about a lot of things and I think it was the first time in a long time that either of us felt that emotional connection.

Day to day, we're going to have to find those ways to reconnect. The fact that we are so different and our interests lie in completely different arenas makes it difficult. That our only common ground seems, most days, to be our children sometimes it gets tough to find where our paths intersect.

Our Hindi Music Industry has always churned out top-notch ’Love Songs’ for us to sing & cherish. Let me take u into this ’Mystic River of Love’. But first, lets have a word from me on - what else but Love.

Love has many forms. Love manifests itself in many ways. We all have been in love sometime in our lives. No one remains untouched by love. Once touched by love, u r bound to feel on cloud nine. Love is a wonderful feeling. Its heaven in the arms of ur lover. But love doesn’t always last. Sometimes, love fails. Though u never expected that to happen but it happened. ’’Why’’ - you would ask but won?t get any answer.

why did u break my heart.. why did u fall in love.. why did u go away..away..away..

When we break-up obviously it hurts. We feel depressed. But with time everything gets fine, howsoever cheesy it sounds, its a truth. Either we get a new love or revive with the old one. Time has a very significant relationship with love. Time nurtures love. Time is a test of love. When love survives all the odds, it lasts forever. Otherwise it ends & only memories remain. The old memories couldn’t be discarded easily. Howsoever hard u try, everything would remind u of ur lost love. U would feel like going back to him/her. In ur life sadness sets in & u just don’t let go of that feeling from ur heart.

tum bin jiya jaaye kaise.. kaise jiya jaaye tum bin.. sadiyon se lambi hai raatein.. sadiyon se lambe hue din..

But thats the way love is. Love follows a cycle - We love, lose & win in love again. Live life as per ur beliefs. Don’t change for someone. Even if u love him/her from the core of ur heart. Actually thats not love. Its just the illusion that makes u want a person with whom u don’t really get along well. Its just that sometimes u fall in love with the idea of falling in love. So, if someone breaks ur heart don’t let that affect ur life to an extent that u end up becoming a Devdas. If u can’t get Paro then forget her, accept that she isn’t made for u. By accepting it u r opening urself for new relationships.

ho gayi hai kisi se jo anban.. thaam le doosra koi daaman.. zindgani ki raahein ajab hai.. ho akela to laakhon hai dushman

Always bear in mind, its easy to fall in love but its difficult to be in love forever & ever. Love is a condition & for it to last forever, some amount of maturity is essential. And no one can teach u that. Its for u to learn by ur own experience. So go, fall in love, even if ur mind says otherwise give it a try if the wish came from ur heart. Always follow ur heart. U either break-up or u learn to accept each others? follies & grow up together. One of the two is bound to happen. So why worry?

chaand ne kuch kaha.. raat ne kuch suna.. tu bhi sun bekhabar.. pyar kar.. ohohooo pyar kar.. aayi hai chandani.. muhse kehne yahi.. meri gali mere ghar.. pyar kar.. ohohooo pyar kar..

Lastly, don’t follow whatever I’ve said. But just follow ur heart. If ur heart is saying fall in love with someone, then do it. Time will let u know if u made a right or a wrong decision. In case it was right then nothing like it. In case it wasn’t, never mind. Atleast now u know what u want from life. Every decision, right or wrong, has the capacity to teach u something. Wrong ones though are disastrous but nevertheless they are ur best mentors. Live & learn !!

I simply can't understand the concept of love at first sight. It is just an over-rated term and how does it really happen, I have no clue. But I know one thing that it fades away as soon as it happens. I don't know what formula such people use to find their combination. And these days people consider any damn feeling as 'love'. Probably they are just in love with the idea of falling in love. But the problem with me is that i just know how to fall in love with an idea.

All this is just too complex, but to make things simpler, lemme start with simple things.
What about a guy having mirror-cracking looks? Naaaah....I will leave them alone to crack all the mirrors. I think I will just get bored seeing the perfect looking 'duh' all my life. Hrithik Roshan is an exception.
I would prefer a cute guy with a sweet smile. But I have come across such guys, had a crush on few of them, but crushes are meant to be crushed when I find that these cutie-pies are dumb. I mean its just so difficult to have a good conversation when people reply in mono-syllables or talk about the most boring topic on this planet.

Although he is talkative like me but what to do if he has opposite interests?
He prefers reading a stupid book always when I wanna go for a movie or something adventurous? Or his kinda music just gives me headache. But if he turns out to be an understanding and caring person who cares what I like to do then I can expect some chemistry.

Two of a kind- If he likes all that I like and I simply enjoy his company. But he doesn't do anything special like giving me gifts. Oh! how boring. I like to be treated like a princess. I just don't understand the casual behaviors. Love is special and it makes one do special things.

Lack of acceptance? No. I just cant think about someone who doesn't accept the way I'm. He should respect and accept my thoughts and interests. I don't expect someone to think exactly the way i do, but there should be a sincere respect for my viewpoint.

What guys these days really lack is 'focus' and 'patience'.
Guys changing lanes with slightest of disagreement,desperado and commitment phobics is a big 'no'.
I just can't compromise when it comes to food, clothes and guys.

People say that it is easy to fall in love. Really?
Well, maybe. But not in my case, it is hard for me to fall in love with just anyone. Something or the other is always missing. And it is even harder to accept that I'm in love......

I read this quote few days back, it kinda put me at ease but still I'm in dilemma that does the right combination really exists.

"When you love somebody, be ready to take the intensity of emotions.
Be jealous, anxious. Love with all your might. Take the pain and everything that comes with it.
Just make sure that the person is worth it."

Cooking a romantic dinner is always welcome but what will make him or her even happier is if you bake a favorite dessert and here are some tips and suggestion for getting the Valentine recipes right.

Cakes And Chocolates

Sweets are a favorite of both men and women; therefore, you can never go wrong with such a Valentine recipe. However, it would help if you knew exactly what your sweetheart likes best.

Most people feel that the best Valentine recipe is chocolates or chocolate cake but surely your Valentine will not be impressed if he or she is allergic to chocolate, for example, or is one of those rare people who simply does not like chocolate.

Well, after you have established what Valentine recipe to adopt, the question is how are you going to accomplish your plan; it is usually extremely easy for those of us who enjoy cooking and have the time for it, but we need to consider the fact that many others do not enjoy cooking and/or don’t have the time to indulge.

It’s agreed that Valentine Day is a time when you should consider doing something out of the extraordinary, like cooking, even if you don’t really like it; however, what good does it do if you don’t know the recipe or, worse, if you don’t have the time to indulge.

Valentine Recipes For Everyone

The good news is that, even if you don’t like to cook or don’t have the time to bake, you can still do both with the right Valentine recipe and, to ensure success, here is how: in the market today you will find two friends: ready made products and half ready products, which you can use to your advantage on Valentine’s Day in order to create the Valentine recipe of choice.

First and foremost, check your local supermarket for your sweetheart’s favorite sweet dish in a ready to cook package like Betty Crocker, for example, where everything is readily mixed and all you have to do is follow some easy steps and, within no time, you can have an amazing cake or cookies made, all by yourself.

Your better half will appreciate the gesture, especially if he or she knows you don’t enjoy cooking and/or don’t have the time for it.

The other way to get the Valentine cake of choice is to order it at the local bakery and pick it up on the way home as a surprise for your sweetheart; it may not be cooked by you because you did not have the time, but it is the thought that matters; and the fact that the taste will be divine will make all your efforts worthwhile.

Kesinlikle evet!

Hayatımdaki boşluğun sebebi bu mudur? Bilmiyorum. (sometimes...)

Şööyle midem bulansın, iştahım kesilsin, "O" olunca etrafta ya da adı bile anıldığında başlasın sakarlıklarım.. O'nu düşünmekten uyuyamayayım, kanıma adrenalin karışsın boool miktarda.

Ne bileyim işte, şööyle en güzelinden en derininden bir aşk bulsun beni a!

Hep kaçınıyorum, hep kaçınıyorum ama verdiğim kararlarla örtüşen biri çıktığında "Tamam" diyecem evliliğe...

Der miyim?

Düşündüm de "Düşünelim..." diyebilirim. (:

A-ha, bana sevgiyle el sallayan üç tane sınav var ufukta...
Onların sonuçları vaaar...
Ulaşılması olası doruk noktaları vaaar...

Okunacak kitaplar, gezilecek yerler vaar...

Yalnız yaşanabilecek bi' sürüüü şey var!

Oooyy!

Ne derler eskiler? Kısmet...

 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

İşte bu da tam benlik... Tavsiyeler topluluğu. İsteyen istediğine uyar. Ben nasılsa biliyorum kendi seçeneklerimi. (make your choice)

Isn't this the best?  I found it in a shop in Green Bay and it makes me smile!  For some women it's jewelry, for some it's clothes, for others shoes...we all have our weaknesses - that item we can't seem to control our impulses about.  Even though we have closets/racks/drawers already filled with this must-have item, we simply cannot pass one by once we fall in love...something we do often!

For me it's jewelry.  Beads.  Earrings.  Bracelets.  Pins.  New.  Antique.  Costume.  Real.  Any and all of them - I love them all.  I couldn't wear in a lifetime all the jewelry I want to make for myself.  Fortunately I have a business that allows me to create all the jewelry I dream about and send it out into the world to other jewelry lovers like myself.

Fortunately or unfortunately the men in my life don't stand the test of time...but I still have my jewelry!

seperti ada selembar perasaan hangat menyelimutiku

menghangatkankku ditengah hujan deras yang terus turun

Kadang aku bertanya dalam hati kecilku,

“Do you feel the same?”

Ya, aku tahu…

Ketika kita mencintai seseorang bersiaplah juga untuk resiko terburuknya.

Dan sudah aku putuskan untuk ambil resiko itu lagi. Even nanti mau sakit model gimana lagi, aku udah nggak peduli.

Aku tulus.

Separuh hatiku udah aku titipin ke dia.

I feel sun shine on cloudy day, when I’m with you…

Speaking of anime, out of my boredom, I ranked my favorite ones to ten.

At the tenth spot is my all-time favorite Cardcaptor Sakura. What’s good about it is that it has a very excellent original story, and very nice vivid animation. My favorite character is Shaoran, although he’s an archetype, so to speak, but his character has a high degree of verisimilitude.

At ninth spot is Bokura ga Ita, or We Were There if I’m not mistaken in my English translation. I really like it because even though it’s the same pattern all over again, falling in love, breaking up, unrequited love – there is something in it that is expressed in a very subtle way. And the insert songs are so amazing. Even I, as a viewer, did have my own emotional struggle because of the conflict in Yano-Nana affair. And Yano is probably what some girls really like – after all two-thirds of the class is in love with him. The manga series is also cool, by Yuuki Obata.

At the eight spot is La Corda d’Oro Primo Passo which is currently shown in Animax. With its vivid animation and musical background plus fascinating guys, I couldn’t stand the fact of missing any single episodes. Hino is so captivating, I really like her a lot.

Next, at the seventh rank is Fruits Basket. It’s funny in a cute way, and even though Honda-san may appear so innocent and so naïve, she is really lovable. And see? There is always the usual love triangle affair among Tohru, Yuki and Kyo. The manga series is written by Takaya Natsuki.

At the sixth spot is Midori no Hibi (Midori Days). Midori is so cute. The anime is so funny, and worth my time, but later on when you encounter the drama part, you get carried away (maybe this is because you get used to think that this is a funny one, but when you get to the emotional part you ended up being touched by something you are not used to). Seiji Sawamura’s character as a highschool delinquent is a fascinating one, and the very cute Midori is really something to look forward to every episode.

How would you feel if you possessed a certain mystical stone that would increase your abilities a thousand fold? And if you’re an alchemist, you would have extraordinary power to heal all injuries and to have everlasting life. This is the story of Fullmetal Alchemist, at my fifth spot, a quest to find the ultimate Philosopher’s Stone. Edward Elric as the youngest state alchemist is utterly stunning. As you go on watching this anime you would find that there is an underlying message about the science-religion (or morality, for that matter) in it. After all, the power to possess the stone does not only bring good things, but it has the power to annihilate and destroy every single living life there is. I also like Winry Rockbell’s character, her addiction to rebuilding mechanical devices exemplifies her strong personality.

At the fourth spot is Honey and Clover! It’s a very heartwarming story of college students living their college lives amidst encountering emotional struggles and life’s difficulties until they learn more about themselves. My personal favorite character is Ayumi Yamada, the Iron Girl with her excellence in making pottery, and good looks (not to mention long legs). Her unrequited love for Takumi Mayama is one of the dramatic scenes of the anime.

At the third spot is Inuyasha, with its witty, amazing plot – a girl named Kagome traveling to the feudal environment using the old well and meeting the half-demon Inuyasha. The real story begins as they find the broken pieces of the Shikon no Tama, but along the way, there seems to be a lot of touching romantic episodes between Kagome and Inuyasha, and the conflict is escalated with the presence of another character, Kikyou, Inuyasha’s beloved. This is really a must-seen anime for me. My personal favorite character, aside from the main characters, is Sesshoumaru. Maybe because of his strong atmosphere that exudes in his personality.

At the second spot is Blood+ - an anime produced by Production IG and Aniplex, is a story of Saya Otonashii, as she fights Chiropterans and gets rid of them and finds her own self-identity along the way. This anime is a mixture of horror, action, drama, mystery, supernatural, and romance genres all in one, which makes up the anime’s complex and concentrated plot. Saya embarks on the journey to fight the Chiropteran (vampiric creatures) with her faithful servant Haji, some members of the Red Shield, brothers Kai and Riku and other faithful friends. The plot is so amazing that once you get started watching it, you wouldn’t like missing episodes in the future. Some scenes may contain strong violence and language, which is why it’s hard to let other people see it halfway because they might not understand. This anime is so good, that I love watching it all over again.

But my favorite most of all is Samurai X. The whole story is definitely amazing enough for anyone to like. The fight scenes, the language and the animation are perfectly incorporated. Kenshin Himura’s character as a wanderer and as a bloodthirsty swordsman is unforgettable. Some scenes are funny, terrifying and touching. My favorite character, other than Kenshin himself is Saito. He’s kinda disturbing but his personality is so strong for me. It’s a story of fighting for the better good, living a new life out of a dreadful past, learning to love even through circumstances when the haunting memories from the past seemed to still hang around within and being strong in one’s convictions. I love it.

In other news, I went to church (Substance) with a friend (Tiffany! One of my redheads! love her!) today. I enjoyed getting a glimpse into another church and seeing how they do things. I had fun being with new people and being let into her world. Plus, the sermon ended with a couple of great questions:

1. Fall in love with the Promiser not the Promise
2. Focus on God, not your circumstances

"Hello God did you lose your compass?  I thought the Promised Land was over here??"  My heart keeps wondering why I'm heading the direction I am when I want/ed to go a different way.  God led the people into the desert so that they could worship Him.  When the people were led out of Egypt they could have taken the "beach road" but instead they headed down into the desert and then back up.  Sometimes the promise is delayed so that we can learn something in the "desert" and fall more in love with the Promiser before we get to the promise.  In summation, the sermon served as a good reminder to seek and worship God in the times of "desert" and let Him bring me to the Promise Land according to His compass not mine.

I’ve often kidded people that I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up until I became a romance writer, but when I think back, I’ve always been the type to day dream and scribble stories for all sorts of things. English was one of my favourite, and best, subjects at school (horrors!) and even now there’s nothing I like more than getting lost in a well written story. So why romance? Let me tell you:

1.    Because no matter how awful the situation you’re always guaranteed a happy ending. Where else in life can you be assured of that. I felt positively cheated when I watched the movie Message in a Bottle through to the end. After all, how hard would it have been to give the poor guy a happy ending? Argh!  I love knowing that no matter how hard the trials that I put my characters through they’re going to win through in the end. 

2.    You get to visit all parts of the world through another’s eyes. In the books I’ve read I’ve learned a great deal about American cities, American towns, life in Australia, Europe, the UK, you name it. There’s been a book set there and that special flavour that is imparted by the author for the place she’s writing about gives the book another character in the setting.  For me, I get to write about the country I love and the places I’ve been to and have enjoyed. In fact everywhere we go, whether on holiday or simply for a day’s drive out of the city, I’m looking at setting to see how I can incorporate it into my next manuscript. 

3.    Being "The Boss". Basically I’m my own boss. I call the shots as to when I’m working and what I’ll deliver to my editor (who is probably my other boss but she’s too lovely to be mean J) and I love it! If I get myself all stressed out over deadlines and things I only have myself to blame and only I can get it right. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not a control freak, but there’s a lot to be said for being in charge...of yourself. 

4.    The hours. Because my man about the house is a shift worker we get to spend plenty of time together on his days off while I still manage to meet my deadlines. Plus, I’m always home if one of the progeny aren’t well and need a tender hand to their brow. Okay, maybe I’m going a bit overboard here. So I select a stack of DVDs, give them a bottle of water and some snacks and park them in front of the DVD player with their blanket and pillow. The important thing is I’m home and able to do that without having to ask anyone else to either  (a) let me have time off work, or (b) look after them for me, both of which I've done plenty of in the years preceding my life as it is now.  

5.    You get to fall in love with a new guy in every book. Not only do you get to write about whatever kind of guy takes your fancy, you get to go deep inside his head and his heart and find out exactly what makes him tick. And you get to give him his heart’s desire—the woman he’s going to love for all time and who will love him in return.   

6.    This is the most important reason of all—because it makes me happy. It makes me happy to write stories that have happy endings. It makes me happy to find out new things about my characters and their worlds. It makes me happy to be my own boss and work my own hours and to fall in love every time I start a new book. And it makes me even more happy to know that those books resonate with my readers and in turn make them happy too. How can you argue with that? 

What about you? If you’re a romance writer, what do you love the most about writing romance? And if you’re a reader, what is it that you love the most about the books you choose?

From your comments I will draw a random winner to receive an Australian/New Zealand edition of my TYCOON'S VALENTINE VENDETTA!

No meio desse caminho tinha mais que uma pedra...

Um filme que expõem os instintos animalescos dos homens. Perversos, até. O outro lado oculto. Que é deflagrado por justamente não querer racionalizá-lo.

Uma frase pontua a história: "O tempo arruina tudo." O outro lado da moeda - a face oculta. Pois visto por num outro ângulo o tempo edifica. Mas não é disso que o filme fala.

O filme deixa alguma indagações, mas que estariam mais num plano real; e não no contexto do filme. Entretanto, um deles seria em uma jovem usar uma passagem subterrânea, sozinha, e à noite. Se de dia já é assustador.

A história é contada de trás para a frente. Basicamente é um dia na vida de três pessoas. Um dia que ficará marcado para sempre. E que não terá mais volta.

Mesmo que queiram rever seus próprios conceitos que disseram de forma até descontraída a caminho de uma festa... Viram, sentiram, vivenciaram um outro lado nessa noite fatídica. Algo que nem sonharam. Opa! A jovem sonhara com algo. Presságios? Ou sinais desperdiçados ao longo do dia?

Uma jovem, um ex-namorado e o atual são os protagonistas dessa história. E um causador da barbárie com a jovem. Mas teria saído incólume dessa? Logo ele?

Ódio. Vingança. Violência gerando violência. Estariam certos, os dois jovens, a agirem como agiram? Daria satisfação a quem? Ou a que? O mal já estava feito. Não teria sido melhor entregá-lo a polícia?

O filme levanta um outro ponto: no quesito promiscuidade. Tanto no inferninho, como na festa do apartamento, rolava sexo e drogas. Em doses diferentes? Sim. Mas que não deixava de levar a uma mesma intenção: o prazer carnal. E amoral. Então, em ambas, as conseqüências não tardam.

Atentem para a conversa dos três a caminho da festa. E por um pedido em especial feito pelo namorado a Alex ao acordarem. São falas que... que o estupro destrói tudo e de modo irreversível. É no que virá depois, no "acordar" daquele dia/noite... que impressionam muito mais...

Ah! Para quem ainda não viu, há duas cenas chocantes! Enfim, pode até ser que eu venha a rever, mas por enquanto, nem pensar. Nota: 08.

Numas poucas, bem poucas vezes (duas ou três, ou talvez nem isso), a rede estava mesmo lá embaixo e impediu minha queda fatal. Era bastante firme e me segurou por algum tempo. Salva, suspirei aliviada e me senti protegida; poderia cair outras vezes porque aquela rede estaria ali, para mim.

Em compensação, em todas as outras quedas fui de encontro ao chão em alta velocidade e me quebrei inteira. Ora confiava numa segurança aparentemente à toda prova que me ofereciam em solo ; ora saltei sem olhar para baixo e quis acreditar que uma nova e poderosa rede seria estendida a tempo de me salvar. Os momentos que antecederam cada novo tombo são lembrados como os piores das quedas. De repente, percebo que estava enganada; não havia nada ali, apenas meu corpo caindo sem chance de voltar. Sei que estou, mais um vez, sozinha. Sinto-me uma idiota ingênua e mesmo antes de me arrebentar a dor invade cada centímetro cúbico e permanece por tempo indeterminado.

Essa dor também é, como o percurso das quedas, bastante característica. Nas primeiras vezes era de uma intensidade brutal misturada à negação. Enquanto recolhia meus pedaços espalhados e limpava o sangue que teimava em jorrar aos litros, uma mesma dúvida piscava em neon: 'mas o que aconteceu?' Nunca tive a resposta. Ensaiei alguns diagnósticos e cada suposição se perdeu no ar.

Várias arrebentações depois, acostumei-me a quebrar a cara e ganhar escoriações e, a certa altura, a luz da pergunta já nem acendia; talvez tenha se queimado após uso contínuo. Experimentada, catava meus próprios cacos ao som do clássico pensamento perdedor: 'aconteceu de novo'. E de novo. E de novo. Sempre da mesma maneira. Chegava a antever o final trágico de alguns saltos; entretanto, uma vontade irresistível e uma esperança sempre renovada impulsionavam as tentativas que, admito, eram cada vez mais fracas.

Agora estou novamente em segurança. Já não me lanço ao nada. Quando sinto o abismo se aproximar e a vontade de me atirar nele fica insuportável, amarro bigornas e bolas de ferro pelo corpo e permaneço fixa onde estou. Não me lanço, nenhuma vez mais. Perco a irreproduzível e indescritível sensação de cair em queda livre, a mais total entrega de que sou capaz, mas ao menos não preciso costurar meus pedaços nem conviver com novos fracassos.

Talvez me faltem asas.

Obs.: Não precisa ficar decepcionado, estrupício. Continua votando se você prefere ver a lista comentada das minhas comunidades do orkut ou a receita da deliciosa mousse de uva do meu tio Doni. Amanhã mesmo tem texto com o tema vencedor.
Afinal, isso aqui não é democracia porra nenhuma, mas eu gosto de deixar vocês pensando que sim :D

Recruiting Help

Getting the kids involved in the process can make for some interesting taste combinations and unique visual presentations that your sweetie will be sure to love, despite the flaws.  Children love crafts and cooking and are willing to jump in and help with special family projects.

Making Valentine’s cookies together can be an educational opportunity as well, as you can teach your child about measuring values, fractions, as well as how to preheat an oven, get shortening covered utensils clean with hot water and a little vinegar, and even how to tell when the cookies are done. Set a timer and explain counting backwards to your children.  Go over kitchen safety and what to do in case of a fire.

Valentine’s cookies can bring your family together just by being a perfect excuse to laugh and spend time together.  The kids will love rolling out the dough, decorating the finished product, eating the broken ones and even playing in the dishwater during clean up time.

Your sweetie will appreciate your efforts as well.  Try to choose a healthy recipe if your loved one is trying to slim down their waistline.  Try a diabetic cookbook for low fat, low sugar recipes.

Okay, some of us need a fire extinguisher every time we cook, right?  Not to fear, you can buy plain, heart shaped cookies and decorate them yourself, thereby claiming all rights to the creation of the cookie and gaining big points with your sweetie.  And for those of you who are not only dangerous in the kitchen but lazy as well, you can always buy the pre-made, pre-decorated box of cookies, smear the icing a little and try to pass them off as your own.

Valentine’s cookies come in all shapes and sizes, you can even turn a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough into one gigantic heart shaped cookie.  Add a little frosting and a cute loveable saying and you’re all set for sugar overload.

Making Valentine’s cookies shouldn’t be the highlight of your holiday.  Don’t forget to add a little romance to the sweetness.  You can send along love coupons inside your boxed creations to be redeemed later that night.  The possibilities are nearly endless, just remember to keep it fun!

"もしも願いが叶うなら 吐息を白いバラに変えて 逢えない日には 部屋じゅうに 飾りましょう 貴方を想いながら * Darling, I want you 逢いたくて ときめく恋に 駆け出しそうなの 迷子のように 立ちすくむ
わたしをすぐに 届けたくて ダイヤル回して 手を止めた I'm just a man fall in love
If my wishes can be true, will you change my sighs to roses--whiter roses, and I will decorate them for you. Let me think of you every night and let me know if I'm living in your heart as well. I'm just a man fall in love."
