Can't Wait Til The Eve

My work has lead me to different places and meet all kinds of people both in my industry and those that are in some way do business with our company. I love my job and pretty much enjoy traveling. Although I encounter many frustrations and disappointments along the way I always take everything as a challenge. I want to be the best in what I do, striving always for excellence. Me and my brother have been brought up to have a very positive outlook about life but of course accepting the challenges that comes along the way. 

The good news is that my brother will soon be getting married, well I guess that it is about time that he settles down. Me and my brother are very close and we grew up always having each others back. I am so happy that he met someone special to share the rest of his life with. I hope that his fiancé will take good care of him. I just do not know how he did it or how he proposed to Roselyn but I am excited to hear all their stories. The only part that my brother did not fail to mention is that he met Roselyn from a dating tour which was arranged by pacificadventuretour.com and that she is a Filipina. 

The best part of all is that both of them are coming here to celebrate the new year with me. We will be watching some fireworks display for the 2013 New Year's eve. Here in San Francisco when new year's eve arrives a great fireworks display is something that is expected by everyone. Well I doubt if you will be disappointed if this is something that you expect for the new year when in San Francisco. 

When the clock hits midnight never miss to be in the waterfront area for a free spectacular fireworks display. I am just so excited to watch this new year's eve fireworks with my brother and his fiancé. I already told them all about it and they are just thrilled to be in the waterfront area during this time. I was informed that the best views was to be in the south area of the ferry building. It is near the Embarcadero and they launch the fireworks from the barges. It is of course being launched far away for safety reasons.

First Date Ideas, Anyone?

First dates always seem to have that certain amount of pressure on a person. Anyone who is going on a first date really want to leave a lasting impression on the other party, especially if the one that you are going out is a long time crush or person of deep interest. So we have gathered a few ideas that will be helpful for you when on going out for the first time with someone. 

Trying Out a New Restaurant

I believe that good food is one of the common equalizer between people. I mean who does not love to eat good food. Well if there's a new restaurant around the corner then why not invite her to try it with you. Of course you also have to make sure that they serve food that will fit the taste of your date. 

The Traditional Walk

One of the safest way to have that more personal time with a date is to invite her for a walk. It might be a walk home, a walk to the park, or a walk to the place where you will have dinner. In this way you will be able to have a more personal time with your date. Never forget to make casual conversation along the way. 

The Classic Movie Invite

This is an all-time classic my friends. The movies is one of the old but very effective way to invite a girl. If there are new and interesting movies in your area then ask away if she is interested to see that new movie. Do not forget to set the day of the date and buy the tickets ahead of time. This will help you avoid the long lines of movie ticket booths. 

Inviting Her for a Drink

Another classic idea is to invite her to go out for a drink and this is still commonly used today. Just make sure that you did your research about her favorite drink, if she has one. Also her favorite bar in your area. This is certainly a plus point for you. 

Attend a Local Festival Together

Festivals usually happen annually and if there is one coming up then it is best that you approach her a little early. Make that big step and invite her to that festival with you. Most of the time if there are festivals in your local vicinity people would take the time to attend and witness it. This type of first date is very popular, especially in Asian countries (e.g. Filipino girls just love this).

5 Gift Ideas For Your Girl

Ah the holidays are coming! Just a few more weeks to go and it’s Christmas. For all those who have completed their christmas shopping. I’d say good job! For the rest though, there are times when you just really don’t know what to get your special someone.

Normally for me and my girl, we’ve already somehow gotten past this little problem. Technically we’ve been doing this since we met. What we do is that we talk about what we want prior to Christmas and then that’s it. Although we both throw in a surprise with the gifts without the other knowing.

But for most if not all I’d like to share the top five gifts I’ve given for my girl that made Christmas extra special. (in no particular order)

 

Forget-me-knot Ring:

Saw this online for gift ideas during mother’s day and we just recently saw The Count of Monte Cristo on DVD around that time. We loved that movie! Especially the one with Jim Caviezel and in that movie he gave his woman a knot (on the finger) before he got betrayed by his best friend. Anyway, I ordered the white gold one online and kept it till christmas as an additional surprise. Oh and if you’re on a budget you can always get the silver one which is still really beautiful! And yeah, you can also go for one of those infinity rings. I think it's very popular wishlist items these days especially for Filipina women because of some famous soap opera LOL.

Charm Bracelet:

If you want a gift that keeps on giving, get your girl a charm bracelet. For the rest of the year you can get her an extra charm to remind her of those special moments that you have. There are a lot of really good stores in any city in any country that has this and you can customize the charms depending on your budget and taste.

Wax Seal Stamp:

My girl loves reading romance novels that are set in the good old days when chivalry wasn’t dead yet. So at one time I went to a specialty store and saw this little beauty complete with red wax candle (there are other colors too) and box. It looked like it belonged in a museum and until now she uses it everytime I get a letter from her. Plus you can get one with the letter of her first name to make it very personalized. Also it’s not too expensive.

 

Edifier Alarm Clock Ipod/Iphone Dock:

If your girl has and\ iphone or ipod or if you actually have the budget to buy her an iphone or an ipod touch / ipod. This would be the perfect gift. I got this for her when I bought the first generation ipod as a Christmas gift. Based on her wishlist. And for such a small set of speakers this one packs a punch! Pretty easy on the wallet too.

Meteorite Fragment:

I saw this at a specialty store and they were selling authenticated fragments from space! Now I’m a complete and total nerd and my girl at one point was telling me that she has never seen a shooting star. I got one and had it set as a pendant on a necklace as a promise that while I can’t get her to see one, I can definitely give it to her. She fondly recalls that day as the day that I gave her a "rock". About 2 months later she finally saw her first shooting star.

 

Now I don’t guarantee that the list that I have is something that your girl will also like. Its also really hard to make an unbiased list as every girl is different. Most important about giving gifts is that you made an effort to know what your loved one wants and carefully picked your gift with the intention of making her happy. This is my list from the past gifts that I have given and while they range from the not so expensive to the downright extravagant ones, I got them because I know what she loves. The most important thing during Christmas is that you both spend it together and enjoy it! Merry Christmas to all the lovers in the world out there! Hope your Christmas is as good as mine.

Your Perfect Partner -- is Available Online?

The internet has been a venue for many things. It has allowed people to have access to many things with just a few clicks on their computer. No matter what type of products or services that one needs the options are so many online. But recently finding romance online have caught the attention of many hopeless romantics out there. There has been many stories told of different individuals on how they found love online. Others even ended up in marriage. Is this really possible? Some doubts lingers on other people's mind if such a thing is indeed realizable. 

Well recently I came across an article which discusses vividly about how possible it is to find that partner which you think is perfect for you online. Although there are many skeptics out there, meeting Mr. right could be just a few clicks away if you try to keep an open mind. A lot of people has already done it and it is not impossible. In fact in this article it has been mentioned that about one out of five people ended up in marriage after using online dating sites and meeting someone on the web. 

Consumer group did a study about online dating sites and questioned about more than a thousand people. The study revealed that about half of those questioned had a history of dating someone that they have met on the internet. Although there are many venues for meeting someone many had expressed that it was easier meeting someone online than in other venues. In fact a staggering 62 percent has expressed this sentiment.

Everyone is in search of someone to spend the rest of their life with and the number of singles out there are so many. Many leave it all to fate while others take matter into their own hands. The fact of the matter is that no matter what venue or way you choose in meeting someone the success of a relationship is not dependent on that. Many relationship fail because of lack of communication and trust. These two things are the solid foundation that helps nurture love. 

Many people prefer to meet someone online because of the fact that they are able to communicate with the other person well. It is likely that they can talk about anything under the sun. Plus the relationship is less likely to be superficial. In that constant communication online you build a relationship, first as friends. In this way both of you have no pretensions.

BEWARE: Crazy Cyberstalker On The Loose!

All governments should work together to form stricter laws and collaborate in making the online community safer. The rapid increase of complaints when it comes to cyber crimes is at an alarming rate. One day you are doing just fine the next day you find out that someone have stolen your identity or is stalking you online. These cases are becoming rampant online because more individuals are able to acquire the skills and knowledge that is needed to harvest or use other people's private information.

Even with the advancement of technology it is still quite difficult to track down cyber criminals. It would take time to catch them and by the time the law are able to catch up with them the damage have been done. A person's reputation is very important for whether you are in business or employed it is part of your investment as a person. So when someone spread false rumors about you then your credibility will surely be tainted. It does not matter that it is not true because other people do not know that. Even people who know you personally would even entertain the idea that you just might be guilty of something which you did not do.

The worst part about false rumors online is that it becomes viral on a pandemic scale. No matter what your status in life or your kind of trade such a thing will surely be damaging to your credibility. This is why such an inconsiderate thing to do to a person is considered are a very sick thing. Currently in the online community someone has created a name for himself by cyberstalking, Evan Iliadis. This psycho had been in operation of spreading false rumors about people that he do not personally know online for five years now. Evan Iliadis have a long list of victims. This time he has his eyes focused on expats and two of his victims are personal friends of mine. These two individuals are credible and respected professionals that are frequent travelers. So as a responsible individual in the online community I am sharing this with you so that you can take measures to protect yourself from such a sick man.
