Have you found the right one?

i read this article on yahoo and thought i might just post it on my blog for keeps sake. Here are some questions to ask yourself if the person your in love with is going to be the right one or some one you can spend the rest of your life with. This article is written by Stacy D. Phillips who is a family law attorney and author of "Divorce: It's All About Control -- How to Win the Emotional, Psychological and Legal Wars."

There is nothing more glorious than falling in love! What a wonderful feeling it is, when, after all that searching and seeking, you finally hook up with that compatible mate. But wait! How can you know that the person you think is right for you, really right for you?

It's easy, well, maybe. All you have to do is make sure that you ask the appropriate questions -- queries that will help you establish how your likes and dislikes, and needs and wants, line up with those of your significant other (should that new love become truly significant in your life). And, of course, the reality has to match up to the answers to these questions.

At the right time and place, I suggest people exchange answers to the following questions:

1. Kids or no kids?
2. Smoking or no smoking?
3. Drinking or no drinking? (Same for drugs)
4. Religious beliefs: Match? Blend? Clash?
5. Who works? Who stays home (especially when the kids come along)?
6. Who wants to live where?
7. Who controls the checkbook?
8. What is his/her personal relationship with his/her family? Too distant? Too close?
Too weird? Appropriate to your standards?
9. How are holidays spent? At home? With family? Alone? Vacationing?
10. Windows opened or closed? Heat/AC on or off?
11. What side of the bed must you (he/she) sleep on?
12. Where to spend vacations? Leisure time?
13. Sick: Left alone or babied?
14. Appropriate gift giving: birthdays? Yuletide holidays? Special occasions?
15. Who does what around the house?
16. What is acceptable hygiene?
17. What are his/her hobbies, pastimes?
18. Preferences: Music? Movie? Book favorites?
19. Favorite foods?
20. Pets or no pets? What kind?
21. Decisions about the children: School, church, discipline, allowance,
extra curricular activities, friends, and curfew?
22. Mealtimes: Early or late?
23. Furniture: Vintage or Contemporary?
24. Sleeping habits: Four hours or eight?

Three more compatibility factors

If this list is not enough to help you determine whether or not your new love is right for you, try these as additional ways to size up the compatibility factor: How does your new love handle a crisis? Behave in public places? Treat your friends and family?

I also think you can tell a great deal about your new mate by the way he treats his mother and how she treats her father. Observing how a person regards that parent is key in establishing how he or she will treat you!

If you are in love -- if you've finally met Mr. or Ms. Right -- step back from all that awe and wonderment for a moment and get answers to all of the above. You will find out whether or not this new relationship (the one you've been looking for all this time) is one that will or will not last. As they say, love can be blind, but if it is going to last, love also has to be practical!

The pursuit of happyness...

i went to watch the above mentioned show with yao long on wed and i'd say it was the best show i watched this week not because it was action packed or has fantastic graphics but it was a show that touched me a lot. i'm gonna give it 4 out of 5 stars. i never could picture Will Smith acting in this kind of emotional crying show, to my knowledge he is always the funny man or the action hero but i dare say he pulled it off pretty darn well in this show. there were many thought provoking moments in the movie which relate very much to me ( and no it was not the fellow who insist that the machine is a time machine) and some how i was able to feel for him. there were several tear spilling scenes in the movie which i shall not elaborate lest i spoil the show for those who wanna watch it. recalling the scenes now is already making me fuzzy all over, this is a show which is heavy on story and takes a certain level of understanding and maturity to fully comprehend the true meaning of the movie. if not you'll end up sleeping through out the show like the guy beside me which i had to 'accidentally' kick to wake him up because he was snoring too loudly.

Its Friday already and school is starting soon! i've been playing so much wow this week that i haven't got round to marking my student's work. i have so much homework to do also, been procrastinating again and i still haven't finish reading my 2 books. think i should stop playing and start doing my homework already.

March holidays...

The March holidays are finally here! Some peace and quiet far away from the maddening screams and deafening noise of all the kids. now i must be a lot more tactful in what i write on my blog already, i can't believe some of the teachers (mr ong) *AHEM* actually went to search for blogs and found mine. how unlucky! Cannot write how horrible the kids are already. I am so looking forward to resting and getting to lv 70 this week! I can’t believe I stop wowing for 3 weeks already, this is so horrible. However, in some ways I am very glad I was given a form teacher appointment and thus exposing me to so so so much of the responsibilities of being a teacher like taking care of my form class, motivating them, signing their report slips, meeting their parents and entertaining their calls! Bloody hell this is the hardest $65 I have ever earned. Alright school aside, I watched 2 movies over the weekends,

The first would be “Happily Never After”. I would give it half a star. I went with yao long on Friday to watch it and we both slept through out the entire movie. I deduced something from it, to tell if a movie is good, put 2 guys who just knocked off from teaching kids in a nice comfortable cinema and start the movie, the amount of time they sleep in there is proportional to how bad the movie is. The storyline was very weak, there was hardly any laugh worthy jokes and all in all it was a totally messed up show. This show is supposed to be from the creators of the “shreck” movies but it did no justice to it predecessors.

The second movie which I watched just a few hours ago was “300” (M18). My rating for it would be 2 and a half stars over 5. again, the storyline was pretty weak and rather rushed, not something you’d expect after watching movies like “Gladiator” or “Troy” which were 2 of the best ancient war shows which I have watched. However, the fight scenes were awesome and the slow motion aka bullet speed were well timed making the fights even more enjoyable unlike many massive scale fights where all you see are mass of people clashing and blood spraying. What I like best about the movie are all the witty one liner and Leonaidas (the lead actor) extremely good sense of humour even in the face of death, they left me roaring with laughter. One last thing to add, if you like scantily clad men then this is the show for u, for once the men are showing A LOT more skin then the women.
