In few hours time i m going to be a wife. I wonder how's the feeling like to be a wife. I can't wait to kiss my hubby's hand. The moment that i have been waiting...

Tables and chairs are at the MPH. My room also has been decorated. Wonder how's Dear's feeling now? Now? He is in DreamLand enjoying his sleep. =)

Hope the wedding event go smoothly.

Did I marry the right person?

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She
said, "How do I know if I married the right person?" I noticed that
there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is
that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered
"How do you know?"

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's
weighing on your mind.

Here's the answer. EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning,
you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted
their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a
completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have
to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love...
Because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about
the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing
there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened
TO YOU.

Falling is love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But
after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the
natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls
become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome
(when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being
cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you
think about your marriage! , you wi ll notice a dramatic difference
between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller
or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I
marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the
euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that
experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown.
People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside
their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is
the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work,a hobby, a
friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage.
It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with
someone else. You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same
situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING
THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE
PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience.
It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love.
You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labor of love."
Because it takes time, effort, and energy . And most importantly, it
takes WISDOM .. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your
marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific
things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with
your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity),
there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and
exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in
your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct
cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are
predictable. ..you can "make" love.

Love in marriage is indeed a "decision".. . Not just a feeling .
"No one falls in love by choice, it is by CHANCE.
No one stays in love by chance, it is by WORK.
And no one falls out of love by CHANCE, it is by CHOICE"

the CUTEST thing ever

I can't take my eyes off from these little cute hamster.

Life is about Correcting Mistakes

Monica married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party, Monica's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook. With Rs.1000 deposit amount.

Mother: 'Monica, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your newlife, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line.

The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh.When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'

Monica shared this with Hitesh when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.

This was what they did after certain time:

- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage

- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Monica

- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali

- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Monica got pregnant

- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted

..... and so on...

However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things.They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world.... no more love...Kind of typical nowadays, huh?

One day Monica talked to her Mother:

'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine howI decided to marry this guy!!!'

Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if youreally can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all the money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.

'Monica thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account.

While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home.

When she was home, she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.

The next day, Hitesh gave the passbook back to Monica. She found a new deposit of Rs.5000.

And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.

'They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.I don't know how much they saved .I believe the money did not matter anymore after they had gone thru all the good years in their life.

"When you fall, in any way, Don't see the place where you fell, Instead see the place from where you slipped. Life is about correcting mistakes.".

IP Man

Watched IP Man with Dear yesterday. No regrets watching the movie and i wanna watch the movie again and again....

Synopsis:

The movie is adapted from the life story of Ip Man, the grand master of the Wing Chun style of Kung Fu and Sifu (master) of legendary Kung Fu superstar Bruce Lee.
Ip Man - martial art’s unyielding follower, whole-heartedly devotee to the free learning of Wushu. The fight to be top between the Wushu schools in the southern and northern regions of China did not stop him from goodwill matches with other practitioners. Nationalistic bad feelings and racial hatred did not lessen his respect for Japanese Kung Fu warriors. In a great era of hate and tragedies, Ip focused only on Wushu. His enthusiasm for martial arts saw led to devastating street fights with various elite practitioners.
To this date, neither movies nor publications about Ip Man exist. This movie is the first important record of the master’s life. Ip’s persistent devotion to Wing Chun is a classic example of the love and respect for Wushu and the freedom and spirit it represents.
