I Just Love Good Smelling People

Guess you've heard it.. That's right! This is a topic by Project Alpha.. They are coming up with topics every week.. Just follow the rules stated in the webpage at the link above and you'll stand a chance to earn some money just like that!

Well, I saw that this topic was rather interesting and decided I'd give it a try.. So, we all love good smelling people.. Come on.. be honest.. When there's someone with a body odour, I bet you can't resist the temptation of being as far away as you can from them, or if you absolutely have to be around them, you'd try breathing as little as possible!!

But did you know, actually that when a person falls for someone, its most definitely not only by their looks? Why then do you see people falling in love for some fat, short and hairy guy (not trying to be insulting here, just an example.. =D) instead of their ideal tall, dark and handsome guy? The answer is, their "smell"!

People are known to produce something known as pheromones.. And these pheromones can't be detected by your nose senses (eg: smell of strawberry and that sort). But it is detected by the vomeronasal between the nose and the mouth. These pheromones somehow triggers the attraction of the opposite sex. You hear people say that they love how their partner smells and some of the like and you might never understand what's the "smell" all about! Well, now you do.. They are attracted by the pheromones released by their partner! Pretty cool huh?

Well, for those of you that think you lack these pheromones, never fear! You can still use nice smelling perfumes or deodorants to compensate for it!

Perfume like these could do wonders!! They help keep you smelling good all day. People naturally love good smelling people and so do I.. By smelling good, you naturally feel more confident.. and by feeling more confident, well, lets just say it attracts people!!

P/S: I'm actually using Adidas Pure for women.. and I am simply loving it!!

Project Alpha Season 2 is presented by Adidas Action 3 and supported by P1 and MAS

The past event brought me to realise how much time I've wasted and what I should do about it.. I really hope that the past will not affect my future.. I will try my best to change my future.. I just hope.. Its not too late..

I just..

I just need someone to listen..

Someone that doesn't judge me everytime I speak..

Someone who can just share my pain and be a shoulder I can lean on..

Is that too much to ask for?

I tried once, I tried twice..

Talking to this person I always shared my problems with..

And yet, each time, I got the scolding I suppose, I deserve..

Decided to change.. To share with someone else..

And yet, I get the same reaction as the one before..

I guess, I really deserve this treatment?

I thought I'll make a wrong decision,

If I decide to quite.. So I held on..

Ignoring all my instincts,

Ignoring all my fears..

I told myself, if I gave up halfway,

All would be wasted.. I have to keep holding on..

One thing pass, another thing comes..

Again, I tell myself the same thing..

Just keep holding on..

Today, I reached the limit again..

I finally can't swallow my problems anymore..

I needed to share with someone..

To let that someone know how lost I felt,

How upset I am..

How much I need guidiance..

How much I wanted an answer..

I just want to know what to do..

I just want to know how to proceed..

And again.. I got the same answer..

Made me feel like I'm a rose..

That can't take a little rain,

or a little blow..

That made me feel like I can't live on my own..

That I'm so useless, so dependent, so weak..

Yes.. Fine.. I am..

I guess I just am..

I just want an answer..

Out of my dead end life..

The Saga of Darren Shan

Yes.. I read the book.. And if you are curious, the book is actually quite good..

I saw my colleague reading this particular book (as displayed in the picture above) not long after the movie was out and decided to borrow it from her right after she read it.. To my amazement, after I read this book, I eagerly searched for the rest of the series to read!

For your information. this particular book is a 3 in 1 kind of book.. From "A Living Nightmare" to "The Vampires Assistant" to "Tunnels of Blood". The whole series of "The Saga of Darren Shan" is written over a total of 12 books! (not to worry though, the books are not long winded and its rather interesting to read!)

The 12 books includes:

• In Book One, Cirque Du Freak, Mr. Crepsley makes Darren a half-vampire in return for saving the life of one of Darren's best friends.
  
• In Book Two, The Vampire's Assistant, Crepsley notes that Darren is quite lonely and brings him back to the freak show, where he befriends a snake-like boy.
  
• In Book Three, Tunnels of Blood, Crepsley goes back to his hometown, where one of the vampires' enemies, a Vampaneze, is murdering innocent people.
• In Book Four, Vampire Mountain, Mr. Crepsley and Darren make their ascent up Vampire Mountain and learn about the rites of the vampires.
• In Book Five, Trials of Death, Darren faces the Trials of Initiation, nicknamed Trials of Death, to gain the recognition of other vampires as one of the youngest vampire to be recruited in decades.
• In Book Six, The Vampire Prince, Darren finds out about the traitor and tries to stop plans to destroy the vampire clan.
• In Book Seven, Hunters of the Dusk, the hunt for the Lord of the Vampaneze, who is destined to destroy the vampire clan, begins.
• In Book Eight, Allies of the Night, Darren meets some of his past friends who now fit into his quest.
• In Book Nine, Killers of the Dawn, Darren faces the Lord of the Vampaneze for the second time.
• In Book Ten, The Lake of Souls, Darren travels to an unfamiliar land to find out who his best friend, Harkat Mulds, used to be; as a "Little Person," Harkat's mind sans memories was placed into a new body after his death.
• In Book Eleven, Lord of the Shadows, Darren finds out more about the Lord of the Shadows and gets closer to his last confrontation with the Lord of the Vampaneze.
• Book Twelve, Sons of Destiny, Darren faces the Lord of the Vampaneze for a final fight, and learns the truth about his parentage

p/s: The book is way better than the movie.. The movie seriously sucks.. =.=

Process of Life

I grew up today, just a little. I learnt how to be a more responsible person. I learnt how to make decisions and be ready to receive the consequences if the decisions I made were wrong. I used to be, and am still afraid of making th wrong moves, of regretting and also of not living up to the expectations of others. But I now learn that, with all these worries tying me to where I am now, I'll never improve. Yes, its a save move, one that ensures I don't make the wrong moves and get scolded or have to pay for my mistakes but its also a move that will bring me no where. 10 years from now, if I am still the person I am, if I'm so afraid just to get shouted at, I will never progress, I will still be where I've started.

Right now, I'm ready. If I get scolded, if my pride suffers a little or if I stumble along the journey, I will know that its all to make sure I get wiser and become a even better person than I was before. =)

Book sales!

For all you book worms! I recently found a book store that sales books at an unbelievably low price! And to top things up, they are now selling a whole load of books for the price of RM3, RM5 and RM9.90!!

I recently went to visit the book store and have totally fallen in love with it.. Will be going back to visit it as soon as possible to stack up on some books!! ^^

p/s: the books that are on sale are not the famous book types (eg: Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings and the sort). But if you are not peculiar about the author of the book, or if you don't mind trying new books, then I really recommend you to this book store..

What's the book store name you say? Its called BooXcess..

Where is it you ask? Its located at Amcorp Mall..

Be sure to go and have a look at it!!

You may also visit their website at http://www.bookxcess.com/ =)

enjoy!!

Lost

There's so many things I'd like to share, so many thoughts cooked up in me that I'd like to talk about but I just can't.. I try to tell friends, but I don't think I should always bother them.. I try to post it up in my blog, but then I get worried that the party involved would come to my blog one fine day and read it..

As time goes by, I learn more and more to keep things in my heart.. To not voice out my problems or stress.. I lie to people who care, so that they think I'm doing fine.. so that they think I'm leading a life I want.. There used to be a voice inside my head, screaming ever so loudly, wilding me to stop doing what I know in my heart isn't what I want..I kept rationalizing with that voice, telling it that this was just for the time being, that it was for my own benefit.. And now, I really can't tell anymore.. The voice in my head is dying away.. Its leaving me behind.. To dwell in my own imaginary dream..
