NEW YEAR's RESOLUTIONS Let’s talk about New Year resolutions. People always make RESOLUTIONS every new New Year symbolizing their desire to be better, to change, or to break a habit. One famous resolution I know is the “I WILL LOSE WEIGHT” resolution. We think of exercising, dieting, eating healthy... BUT somehow we forget or lose determination after a week, don't we? HOW WAS YOUR 2011? Raise your hand up if your 2011 was full of challenges and trials! Emotionally, Financially, Spiritually, Mentally, Physically... I’m raising mine. Everyone should -- we've all experienced some kind of difficulty/pain/bitterness/anger/hatred/discouragement during the past year.. These past experiences may be the VERY REASONS why you've come up with your own NEW YEAR's RESOLUTION. Others may have their "DO's and DONT's" list, Others may have their own BUCKET LIST, and whatever list of things to make 2012 all diffe...
My wife and I spend most of our date nights eating out, we love it, we get to enjoy great food and have quality conversations at the same time. Recently, we went to an all you can eat restaurant where majority of their menu is deep-fried. We were excited and couldn't wait for our food to arrive.

Why go for the imitation lobster roll when someone is offering you the real one! The world has been spoon-feeding us with junk and we welcome it with open mouths. A sinful lifestyle has become the norm...
Before, when I go to malls with my friends and see a spectacular woman then see that she’s with a guy who cannot be labeled as spectacular, we’d usually say “Bro! love is blind!” and laugh out loud. It’s wrong for us to judge and I know we should never make fun of couples. Is there such thing as love is blind? Well for me it’s not. The couple explained earlier was an example of falling in love with the real person inside and not just with mere appearance. But I do believe this; some are blinded because of what they think love is. Here are list of examples that I witnessed in people: When you’re in a relationship and your network of friends become smaller because your mentality is the “YOU AND ME ONLY” mentality. I know couples that would strictly not allow one another to hang out with other friends because they’re jealous of one of the guys or girls. Then the network would be smaller and at the end you’ll be alone. I have a classmate and we were having an exam. I asked him...
