Fine Wines
What’s the definition of “fine wine?”
Generally, this term is reserved for exceptional wines from the world’s best vineyards, the highest quality grapes and the most acclaimed winemakers. Over a period of years, they’ve achieved ‘blue chip’ status — Grand Cru clarets and Burgundies are classic examples. Due to demand, such wines can command anything from around $50 to $200 or more a bottle.
Are they worth it?
It’s a bit like asking a car enthusiast if a Ferrari is worth the money (if you see it just as a means of getting from A to B the answer is probably no). If wine is just a drink like any other, then perhaps no. But if wine is a genuine interest and if your enjoyment of it encourages you to experience greater, more complex, richer and satisfying bottles, then this is an area you ought to be exploring.
If I spend twice as much will it be twice as good?
Yes … no … well, sometimes. A $10 bottle of wine may well be twice as good as a $5 bottle … and a $16 bottle twice as good as a $8 one. Over and above this level though the value for money becomes more subjective. To a degree, you’re paying a premium for perfection because it’s so rare and so hard to achieve. You need therefore to buy with caution to avoid expensive mistakes. You can find the occasional gem for $15 or less, but wines above $50/bottle usually guarantee a wine made without compromise. It may not be your cup of tea, but it will be made with perfection in mind.

Knowledge about collagen
About 80% of your skin is collagen, minus water. It’s the main structural protein found throughout your entire body, providing your tissue and organs with both strength and elasticity.
As you age, the collagen in your skin begins to degrade. Skin forms wrinkles, folds, brown spots and spider veins, and the pores enlarge. This process is greatly sped up by sun exposure. In fact, 90% of the wrinkled, distressed skin we associate with aging is caused not by the passage of time, but by a lifetime of sun exposure. (For evidence of this, consider how different the skin on your buttocks looks compared to that on your face or forearm!)
The loss of collagen in your skin can make you look older and more tired than you actually are. Fortunately, a variety of injectable collagen products are now available to help you replace some of that lost collagen and rejuvenate your skin.
Zyderm/Zyplast
Introduced in the early 1980s, Zyderm and Zyplast have been used by more than 1.5 million people around the world. They’re made of highly purified bovine (cow) collagen, and are primarily used to improve wrinkles, fine lines and acne scars. They can also help create better definition around the borders of the lips.
Zyderm comes in two formulas: Zyderm I is 25% bovine collagen and 0.3% lidocaine (a numbing agent). It’s typically used for more superficial fine lines and wrinkles. Zyderm II is 50% bovine collagen and 0.3% lidocaine. It’s generally used on moderate-sized wrinkles and scars. Zyplast, an even stronger formulation, is used on the more severe wrinkling and scarring, and works particularly well on enhancing lips. Sometimes, Zyderm and Zyplast are used together to treat different areas of the face. Treatments tend to last 3 to 6 months.
Because the collagen in Zyderm and Zyplast is animal-derived, you’ll need to have a skin test about a month prior to treatment to determine if you’re allergic to it. Symptoms of an allergic reaction, which may take several weeks to develop, include chest pain and shortness of breath, hives, redness and irritation of the skin, lumps and scarring. Call your doctor right away if you develop any of these symptoms following your skin test.
Cosmoderm/Cosmoplast
Made from highly purified human collagen, Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast can be used to augment the natural collagen in your skin, making it fuller and smoother. Cosmoderm is, perhaps, more appropriate for superficial fine lines, such as those around the lips, while Cosmoplast is well suited for deeper wrinkles. Both contain the anesthetic lidocaine, which numbs the skin at the site of the injection.
Because these collagen fillers are made with human collagen, you don’t need to have an allergy skin test before receiving treatment. Results are immediate, and generally last for 2 to 3 months. You’ll need touch-up treatments to maintain the original results.
Evolence
One of the latest collagen dermal fillers to receive the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is Evolence. Derived from porcine (pig) collagen, it’s injected into the dermis layer of the skin to correct moderate to deep facial wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds. Some evidence suggests Evolence may produce much less of the temporary bruising and swelling common with other dermal fillers.
Evolence’s results are immediate, and, officially at least, last for up to 6 months. The FDA may soon permit the product’s labeling to change, however, for clinical trials in Europe suggest that Evolence may actually last up to 12 months.

Evolence’s results are immediate, and, officially at least, last for up to 6 months. The FDA may soon permit the product’s labeling to change, however, for clinical trials in Europe suggest that Evolence may actually last up to 12 months.
Knowledge about Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar that gives skin fullness and elasticity. It does this because its molecules are “water loving.” In other words, the molecules are attracted to water molecules in the skin, binding and swelling to several times their own weight. As you age, your skin loses much of its own hyaluronic acid and thus much of its volume. As a result, it begins to sag, wrinkle and fold.
Commercial hyaluronic acids—Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm and Radiesse—can revitalize and plump up aging skin. All these products contain non-animal, hypoallergenic hyaluronic acids. You do not need a skin test before you receive treatment.
What are hyaluronic acid injections like?
Hyaluronic acid dermal filler procedures are usually quick (less than 30 minutes) and are done in your doctor’s office under a local anesthetic and with an ultra-fine needle. You can return to your daily activities immediately afterward. Side effects are minor. You may experience mild swelling, bruising and perhaps some redness, but such symptoms disappear within a few days. In rare cases, patients develop red bumps, which may require antibiotics. Always call your doctor if you have side effects.
What can I expect from the injections?
Be patient! It usually takes several weeks for the hyaluronic acid to fully plump up the skin—and to create significant changes in your appearance.
Hyaluronic acids are biodegradable, so they’re not a permanent solution to wrinkles and folds. You’ll need maintenance treatments every few months—how often will depend on such factors as the treatment area on your face, your age and your lifestyle.
Restylane
Restylane is a crystal-clear hyaluronic acid gel that is most commonly used to smooth out wrinkles and folds around the lower portion of the face, such as the thin “smoker’s lines” around the mouth and the wider nasolabial folds that run from the edges of the nose to the corners of the lips. It’s also used to shape the cheeks and chin, reduce forehead lines, and rejuvenate the back of the hands. And it’s very popular for increasing the size of lips, giving them a fuller, more enhanced appearance.
Restylane’s results typically last from 6 to 12 months on the face and from 3 to 6 months in the lips.
Perlane
Perlane is essentially the same hyaluronic acid gel as Restylane, but its particles are slightly larger, a factor that makes Perlane more useful for reducing deep, large wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds, forehead “worry” lines, and the “marionette lines” that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin. Other common uses include lip enhancement, chin and cheek augmentation, and the softening of acne and other facial scars. Perlane is also sometimes used to fill in hollows under the eyes and to give the eyebrows a temporary lift.
Results vary, but last on average from 6 to 8 months. Most people need a maintenance treatment about once a year. (Often, Restylane’s smaller-molecule (and, thus, less expensive) formulation is used for the maintenance treatments.)
Juvederm
There are two types of Juvederm: Juverderm Ultra, which is used to correct moderate to severe wrinkles on the face and to add fullness to the lips; and Juvederm Ultra Plus, which has a denser formulation and, thus, is used to improve the appearance of deeper wrinkles. Juvederm is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler with published studies on its safety and effectiveness in people of color. Those studies showed that it doesn’t increase the risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in people with darker skin tones.
Results tend to last from 6 to 12 months.
Radiesse
This dermal filler is composed of calcium hydroxylapatatite (CaHA) particles suspended in a hyaluronic acid gel. Over time, the CaHA particles create a “scaffold” that gives your skin greater shape and fullness; the particles also stimulate your skin to produce new collagen in the treated area. This process, called neocollagenesis, provides your skin with even more volume and contour.
Radiesse is particularly useful in addressing the unsightly problem of folds and creases around the nose and mouth. It’s also used to raise the depressions of acne scars to an even level with the rest of the skin. In addition, it’s been used to help treat HIV-associated facial lipoatrophy, the loss of facial fat that often accompanies that illness.
Results typically last about 1 year.

Collagen is a Major Skin Protein
Our skin is made mainly of collagen, which is a protein. More than 80% (dry weight) of our skin is made of collagen. There are three major parts to our skin: collagen, elastin, GAGs, Glycosaminoglycans.
Collagen is a main structural protein found throughout our body. Collagen provides the strength our tissue and organs require while elastin provides the ability to stretch and recoil.
Sun Damage
As we age and we subject our skin to greater and greater amounts of sun damage, we degrade our skin's collagen, causing the look and feel of our skin to degrade as well. The ability of our skin to develop healthy collagen diminishes and we are left with collagen that is damaged.
Delay Skin Aging
Avoid the sun and using sunscreen with high SPF is the best way to protect your skin. The UV damage from the sun is serious and protecting your skin is the best way to ensure you will have youthful skin for many years

The words "I love you" are powerful ones. When you and your partner are pulled in different directions -- jobs, kids, friends, family, meetings -- sometimes a quick "love ya" is all either of you can manage at the end of the day.
1. Respond to a need
"The best way of expressing love is by anticipating a need of your partner's and fulfilling it,"
2. Share a laugh
"All relationships have times of conflict and difficulty,"
Encouraging laughter ensures there's some positivity to outweigh the negativity.
3. Be full of surprises
An unexpected gift or gesture says "You're special." It shows that you think of him and feel connected to him even when you're not together." If you happen to find something that relates to a topic or activity of interest to your mate, bring it home. Love letters also make great surprises.
4. Make eye contact
"Looking into each other's eyes signals you are deeply connected," Most busy couples, however, manage only quick glances. You needn't spend hours or even minutes gazing at each other. Take advantage of opportunities for eye contact that last longer than a few seconds.
5. Spend time together
It sounds obvious, but quality time is better than saying "I love you" a thousand times. Once in a while, suggest an activity that incorporates one of your partner's interests, even if it doesn't coincide with your own. The unselfish act shows that you cherish different sides of him.
6. Hug, hold hands and cuddle
Physically connecting with someone is the most natural way to express love. But after several years together, non-sexual touching often falls by the wayside, says Palmer. Revive it whenever you are together: pick up and squeeze his hand, or place your hand on his back. Sit close. Give him a hug goodbye and hello. And instead of sitting in separate chairs, cuddle up on the couch together once in a while.

Spend wise on wedding
The dress, the veil, the shoes, the flowers, the limo, the photographer, the cake, the caterer or country club… not to mention your wedding bands, honeymoon, bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts, parent gifts, and on and on. Don’t be fooled – the list of things to buy and book and do for your wedding is just as endless as you think, if not more so. Here are some great tips for how to save money on your wedding.
When it comes to congratulating you on your special engagement, everyone is there with open arms and beaming smiles. When it comes to shelling out the cash to pay for the big event, everyone points the finger. What gives? You only get married once, right?
Nowadays, there seems to be little rhyme or reason to the question on all our minds - who pays for the wedding. Some of today’s modern couples decide to undertake the bulk of the cost themselves. Sometimes the bride’s family follows the tradition of generations past and foots the bill on their dime. Other times, the bill can be split between both families, and often with help from the bride and groom. But any way you slice it, someone has to pay, and unfortunately, that money isn’t going to grow on the trees lining your backyard.
To make the most of the money that you do have to put toward your special day, keep this one thought in mind. Weddings are to wedding vendors what Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, and birthdays are to Hallmark, chocolate shops, jewelry stores, perfume makers and other gift merchants.
Weddings mean business. Weddings mean good business – megabucks. The vendors know just how important your special day is to you, and they capitalize on your emotion. They sense the flutter in your heart or they catch the tear glistening in your eye when you try on the dress and there, waiting in the wing, is the veil, the tiara, the shoes, the jewelry…all waiting on an assembly line once you’ve found “the dress.”
Call up anonymously and ask your preferred reception site what it would cost to book a graduation party, or a birthday celebration, or even a family reunion. I dare you. You’ll be sickened at the dramatic drop in price when the “w” word is no longer rolling off the tongue. On second thought, don’t call, unless you intend to book your special day incognito. You might lose your appetite for the whole thing.

Dating Ideas for Teenagers!
Let's say you have found a person you would really like to go out with, and you are ready to ask that person out on a date. You will immediately have the question, "What are we going to do on our date?" This question can be particularly tough on the first date because you are trying to make a good first impression and you may or may not know what your partner likes to do. On subsequent dates things tend to get easier. But there are few things more uncomfortable than the conversation that goes like this:
H: "Would you like to go out this weekend?"
S: "I would love to!"
H: "What would you like to do?"
S: "I don't know, what would you like to do?"
H: "I don't know..."
To avoid this little scene, it is helpful to have something in mind when you call!
The activity you pick for the date plays a big part in the date itself. A great activity that feels comfortable to both people can make for a great date. The activity also determines, for example, how much talking you will have to do. If you choose a movie you won't have to say anything once the movie starts. That can be a real relief if you find you are both tongue-tied. If you go out to dinner you will have to carry a conversation all night long. That can be tough sometimes, especially on the first date. You can also earn points for the creativity of your date - if you have a really great idea then your partner will be impressed by your ingenuity.
Here gives you some dating ideas. Use them as a starting point - let these ideas trigger off other ideas in your own head. Focus on the ones that sound good to you and go from there.
The Big Three
Every one knows about "The Big Three". These are the normal, safe dates that will cause no waves. They aren't very creative, but they are universally accepted:
A Movie - Inviting someone to a movie is definitely safe. It is probably the #1 first date. One good way to make it a little interesting is to let your date choose the film, or put a bunch of movie names in a hat and pick one at random when you get together. You might also check out the "Alternative" movie scene, especially if you live in a good-size city. Most cities have a small theater that plays foreign or limited-run films.
A nice dinner - Another classic. As mentioned above, dinner out means that you are going to have to think of something to talk about for an hour or two. Sometimes that can be hard, especially on the first date. One way to lessen that problem is to go on a double date.
A Dance or a game - High schools are always having dances and football games, so you can invite your date to one of these. It's a good, safe bet.
Other Classic Dates
There are several other "classic" dates that you might consider. Most of these are more fun if you invite two or three other couples to go along with you:
Bowling
Roller skating
Ice skating
Miniature golf
Amusement parks
Water parks
Concerts
Getting ice cream together

Tips to be creative and practice your brainpower:
Here are some of the tips to be creative and practice your brainpower:
Think more than it was supposed to be.
The synergy method where one plus one equals to three. Impossible? Well, it isn’t if you want it to be. It’s more or less like thinking through the box, seeing what’s behind it. Frankly speaking, in idea making there is not much of logic involved. Almost everything is a possibility. When a thing combines with another, the outcome may not be another thing, but many things. Get other peoples view of all ages if possible and see things from many different angles.
Getting the right environment so you can start exercising your brain
To be able to think you need a very good mental state and good body health. Good mental stress simply means that the person is free from all bad stress and in a good inspiring and motivating environment that he or she freely have chosen because this is highly objective. Some people get more ideas in crowded places while some in quiet and secluded places, some in their room while others in the garden when it’s closest to nature.
Keep learning and never afraid to lose and fail
One thing you should never let go is to learn, and keep on learning. If so happens that you fail and fall, get back up and start again. If the previous methods have failed you, try again with a new one. Look into what is lacking actually and have it fix right away. Knowledge knows no boundaries, and knowing and learning more can broaden your scope and horizon as well. Living is part of learning, be more alert with your surroundings and if you just make sure you learn something new everyday, you will definitely hit it off someday, one way or the other.

Quote of the day
In this life of ours, we are definitely not living for ourselves alone for there is a saying no man is an island. We cannot live on our selves alone for we need other people to fill the things that we do not have. We cannot have everything that we want in this life and it is a reality that the things that we do not have can only be provided by other people.
This is why it is very important for all of us to understand the importance of having others in our lives. They play a very important in our life in which we are not totally aware of.
Just like when we are in school, friends are those people who can be with us in times of difficulties. Being alone in school is definitely the last thing that a student wants.
Friends are considered to be the mood boosters whenever you feel like you feel the need to ease the stress you are experiencing because of the work loads that you have in school. Our school life will definitely going to be a boring stage in our life if we do not have friends who will stick to us through ups and downs.

Women desire to be loved dearly
Women can change without any signals or warnings - that could be the biggest challenge in any relationship of a man and a woman. However, sometimes you can sense the changes in her attitude and way of speaking. Her voice tone might turn a little cold, giving you that very unsettling and guilty feeling. Well, that is if you’re sensitive enough to sense it.
In any loving lasting relationship, women desire to be loved dearly, tenderly and be treated with much passion and respect, which sometimes men think they are a little too demanding. But it’s pretty much within their nature. Nevertheless, if we take some time to think the matter thoroughly, men and women don’t differ that much in terms of need, but rather in ways of seeking and processing those needs.

Nevertheless, if we take some time to think the matter thoroughly, men and women don’t differ that much in terms of need, but rather in ways of seeking and processing those needs.

Share Your Blissful Memories
Whether you’ve been dreaming about your wedding for as long as you can remember, or its advent has taken you completely by surprise, it is an extraordinary day that you will remember for a lifetime! Celebrate your special union with memories of your past, promises of the present and dreams of your future together.
Half the fun of your wedding day is capturing the wonderful memories of the priceless moment in time, but the other half involves reliving the cherished memories times you and your spouse-to-be have shared.
Showcase your love for each other by decorating a table with photos, albums and memorabilia from the various unforgettable times you have spent together. Vacations you have taken, special events and outings you have attended, and basically any fun times and activities you have shared could be displayed in the form of sporting or musical event tickets, a stuffed animal, or countless other small tokens of your lives together.

Wine Tasting Guide
Step One – Look
Clarity is an indication of the character and condition of the wine.
Colour (intensity and hue) should be assessed – generally a darker colour and a difference in colour from the centre of the glass to the edge can indicate oxidation, which may be a deliberate part of the winemaking, an error, or a part of the natural process of maturation in bottle.
The ‘tears’ left on the inside side of the glass after swirling can be indicative of the amount of glycerol and alcohol present in the wine.
Step Two – Smell
Inhale and try and identify as many flavour compounds as possible.
Aromas refer to smells derived from grapes and include fruit descriptors (eg: lemon) and herbs and spices.
Bouquet refers to smells derived from the winemaking process such as characters formed by yeasts, specific fermentation techniques or type and size of maturation vessel.
Step Three – Taste
The texture of a wine can provide clues as to how the wine is made.
Progression of flavour from when the wine enters your mouth to after you swallow, is an indicator of the quality of the wine, a long aftertaste is generally a positive indication of quality.
After looking, smelling and tasting, make an overall assessment of the wine – a lasting impression of harmony and balance is considered desirable and easiest to enjoy.

Creativity -new keys in survival of living?
Creativity has been taken into the next stage with a great emphasis on creative thinking as one of the major selling qualities for an individual. The ability to have great ideas, to be able to think out and through the box, combine with charisma and the ability to interact with the public is a great skill seen by many companies worldwide.
What do you have to say about thinking big and new ideas being the new keys in survival of living? Perhaps some people might see it a little too extreme to associate this with a person’s survivability but it’s not entirely unrelated too. This is because new ideas are usually influenced by new overviews and ways of thinking toward many things in life, it shows indirectly how fast and skillful a person is in facing new challenges and changing situations - an explorable necessity which one needs in order to adapt to the current situations and dynamic intervention of events and happenings.
No human beings are able to use 100% of their brainpower, an average person only use up to 10% of it. Brainpower is something that improves as you practice - through thinking especially. But to some people thinking can be stressful and too much to bear but there’s also another way of practicing your brainpower, that is through learning. The main point of learning is so that you can expand your knowledge and regular thinking habit can increase your brainpower.

Baggage problems, No more
What can probably be considered as the most common of any traveler’s woes most likely has something to do with his baggage. We always hear stories of people getting hit on the head by luggage falling out of overhead compartments on a particularly turbulent flight, or of the security line being held up by airline passengers who insist that the gigantic suitcase they have brought with them should pass as carry-on luggage instead of just checking them in. And then we have stories of lost luggage, wherein the hapless passenger finds that his suitcases have flown to Taiwan instead of coming with him to Thailand.
Losing luggage, among other baggage problems, is a fact in the life of a traveler. Thankfully, such problems can be avoided with a few simple precautions to be taken before the flight. Here is how:
1. If you can get away with traveling with only carry-on luggage with you, go for it. Airlines generally allow their passengers to bring two pieces of carry-on luggage with them, so bringing your bags with you to the cabin will save you the worry of losing your bags or having them stolen.
2. If your bags are heavy, do not put them in the overhead bin. Luggage, even the lightweight ones, can cause serious injuries if they get loose and fall on someone’s head.
3. Before you check in your bags, make sure that every piece of luggage you are checking in has a label that has your name and address on it. Better yet, put another label on the inside of the bag, as well as a copy of your itinerary. Do the same for your carry-on bags in the event that you need to check them in after all.
4. Make your luggage as unique as you can make them so the other passengers will not confuse your luggage with their own and pick them up. You can do this by putting colorful tags or stickers.
5. Never check in your valuable items such as money, jewelry, laptop and electronic files. Put them in your carry-on luggage.
6. Make sure that airline tag on your checked-in luggage is correct. The airline tag should match the airport where you are flying to.
7. If you have lost your bags, report the loss immediately. Approach the baggage agents on duty as soon as you discover that your bags did not turn up at the airport you flew in.
8. Do not throw away the stub from your checked-in bags. In case you do lose your bag, the stub will help airline authorities to trace your bags.
9. Always anticipate the fact that you may lose your luggage on your flight. It’s a simple application of Murphy’s Law. Thus, pack your bags in such a way that the loss of one bag will not cripple you. Pack at least one set of clothing in your carry-on bag.
10. Bear in mind the security regulations of the airline you are flying in when packing your bags. Leave prohibited items behind, such as knives, cutters and other hazardous objects. If you must bring such items, see if your airline can let you check them in.

A Woman Traveling Alone
It is tough to be a woman traveling alone. Not only do you have to deal with the usual hassle that a tourist has to face, like getting around the place, getting over the language barrier and all that, but women traveling are also vulnerable to being on the receiving end of unwanted attention, especially if she is traveling alone. This is particularly true in countries where women do not enjoy as much freedom as women in, say, the United States do.
Safety is a special concern for a woman traveling alone. A lot of enterprising people find a woman traveling alone to be an easy target for whatever heinous heist they may have in mind, so it is very important for her to take care of herself.
The first thing that a woman traveling alone should do is to secure her lodgings. As much as possible, her lodgings should be something she should not cut corners with. She should check in a reputable place and make sure that her room is not on the first floor, where many people come and go all too easily.
Another precaution that a woman traveling alone ought to take is to keep her room number to herself. Keeping her hotel room door locked at all times is also logical. She should never let anyone inside her hotel room without first identifying who that person is. When she is ordering room service, she should ask room service to call her when the waiter is coming up to her room with her order. While the waiter is laying out her food on the table, she should stay by the door.
Whenever she eats at one of the restaurants at the hotel she is staying in, a woman traveling alone should sign her bills with her initials instead of her full name. After signing these bills, she should give them directly to the server and should take care that no one else sees them. Whenever a stranger approaches her, she should feel free to say that she is busy and does not feel up to entertaining casual conversation with people she does not know. But if she feels inclined to it, she should be careful of the things she says to the person she is talking to. Never at any time should she reveal her itinerary for her trip. Also, a little white lie can also keep her safe.
If she is going out, a woman traveling alone should leave a note at the reception, notifying the hotel of her destination and the time she left. She should also check in regularly with someone at home. When she is going about the hotel, she should steer clear of the stairs and instead use the elevator; in this case, safety comes first before burning calories. Upon returning to the hotel after going out, she should not hesitate to ask the concierge to escort her to her room if she thinks she is being followed or spied upon.
Most of all, a woman traveling alone should wear sedate outfits and do her best to blend in. She should leave her provocative clothes at home, and she should not stash her cash and valuables in one place alone.
These safety precautions may seem paranoid, but it is better to be safe than sorry. A woman should have fun and peace of mind during her trip, even when she is traveling alone.

The words that women usually want to hear
The words that women usually want to hear, besides the typical ‘I Love You’. The effect may not be definite but it can sure do some good to your relationship with a woman. However, the most important part of the whole thing is meaning what you are saying and doing it sincerely with the intention to give her more love and happiness. Let it come from your heart, naturally. Below are some romantic ideas, as far as talking is concern…
“You always look good to me…”
Well, it is almost undeniable that women are deemed to be weak against compliments, even a simple one such as ‘nice shoes’. There’s no harm in telling your lover how beautiful and gorgeous, or how kind or cute or great she is as a partner. She’ll remember it always and know that there’s always her in your eyes. Even a compliment about how the dress suits her or make her look slim can do wonders!
“How are you today?”
Sounds too simple? Better think again. As simple as it is, the impact can be tremendously heart warming. It shows that you really care about someone and you want to know that everything went well for the person. You should not restrict it to the above phrase; it can be any question regarding how the person is doing, whether it is about her job, the current event or her family.
“Honey, where are you now?”
If a woman starts to feel troubled by this question, then something is not right about the relationship. A typical woman looks at this question as a sign of care and love. A man who asked this to his lover shows that he cares for her and mainly also because he wants to know that she’s safe. However, you should not ask this too often because it could looks as if you’re a bit of a control freak.
“Where do you want to go for the holiday this time?”
Actually, you don’t have to say this often. Nevertheless, this is one of the most favorable questions to women. You can do once every year, and by asking your partner ideas and opinions on the next vacation, your woman will feel greatly appreciated. More often than not, men like to make a decision on their own. So why don’t you make a change by asking her views sometimes. That naturally shows how important she is in your life.
There you go, a few of sweet and romantic lines that you should be able to practice whenever you’re truly, deeply and madly in love. Remember it is not a trick of wooing, because anything that’s not sincere will not give you a good outcome. Have a nice day!

Mount Fuji, Japan
Japan has over 3,000 islands, most of which are mountainous, and many are volcanic, including Japan’s highest peak, Mount Fuji.
The past meets the present in Japan, with its rich cultural history that dates back millenia and ultra-modern influences in technology, entertainment and lifestyle.
When visiting the Land of the Rising Sun, the best approach is to have an open mind and get ready for surprises.

When visiting the Land of the Rising Sun, the best approach is to have an open mind and get ready for surprises.
Mount Fuji is the most recognizable landmark in Japan. Mount Fuji located about 100 km (60 mi) west of Tokyo is an almost perfect volcano venerated by the Japanese, who call it Fuji-san - their most sacred mountain.
The Mount Fuji volcano is dormant - last eruption was in 1707 - and it is a popular tourist attraction. In the summer people enjoy going to the summit to see the dawn and at night the light from their torches looks like a trail of lava on the mountainside.
The main climbing season is during July and August. The crater takes about an hour to walk around. Ity is cold up there - the summit, which is 3,776 m (12,340 ft) high, is snow-covered between October and May.

Love involves mutual connection of two people
human is so hard to get satisfied with something. Each time we want more and more until that desire eventually consumes everything pure and natural about a person and feelings. We never get satisfied with anything over time… You know what they call this? It’s called greediness and selfishness. This greediness has really led many people astray, not only in matters of love but others as well. Some people are just too greedy to find and look into deep what’s best for them, which sometimes is right in front of them. They just want more and more.
Why selfishness? Well, many people just think of themselves until they forgot that love involves mutual connection of two people.

Tips to Paris
There is so much to do and so much to see in the city of Paris that it is impossible to savor everything that the city has to offer on a short visit. To be able to even have just a taste of the distinct flavors that are unique to Paris, a holiday to the city should be no less than a week. Alas, even a week would be too brief.
However, if a week is all that you have, all the more that you should make the most out of your visit to Paris. To maximize your holiday, you should take Paris one bite at a time. Never mind that you would not be able to get to see the whole of Paris in your brief stay there.
To see just one part of Paris on a short stay is better than rushing through the city in an attempt to see everything. Taking Paris one bite at a time would leave longer lasting impressions and more colorful memories. It will also give you a reason to come back to Paris for more.
So, how do you savor Paris on a short visit?
The first thing you should do after you have shaken off the jet lag is to hop on a tourist bus or on a boat on the River Seine. Spend your first day hopping on and off tourist buses and the Metro just to get your first feel of Paris and to get your bearings. You do not need to see one of the many tourist attractions in Paris just yet.
When you return to your hotel room on your first day, make a list of the attractions that you have seen on your overview of Paris on board these tour buses. Since you have only a short time to spend in Paris, prioritize the places that you want to see. Also, expect to see only one or two attractions a day; you cannot expect a lot of beautiful memories to form by rushing through the places that makes Paris a worthwhile place to visit.
From your second day on, roam about the city on foot on your way to your chosen itineraries for the day. Who knows what delightful spot or corner you might discover while strolling about the city? You do not have anything to worry about walking in Paris, as long as it is in daytime. The city is quite flat and very friendly to pedestrians. If you do get tired, you can take a short rest at a sidewalk café. Then just flag a cab on your way back to your hotel.
And since you have only a short holiday to Paris, remember to see these popular landmarks that Paris is known for:
1. The Louvre Museum. The Louvre is the world’s most visited museum, and it houses some of the best artworks that man has ever produced. However, it would be very foolish to see the entire Louvre in just one day. The best time to go there is on a slow weekday.
2. The Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is considered to be among the most recognizable structures in the world. It is also the global icon that stands for Paris. You can see the Eiffel Tower from any point in Paris, but the view from the top of the Tower is something you should not miss.
3. The Arc de Triomphe. The Arc is another monument that is considered iconic of Paris. It stands on the Place de l’Etoile at the eastern end of Champs-Élysées, serving to commemorate the soldiers of France who died in its wars. You can climb to the top of the Arc and enjoy a panoramic view of Paris.
4. The Notre Dame de Paris. The Notre Dame de Paris is one of the most beautiful examples of Gothic architecture in the world. It is also a treasure trove of medieval sculptures and stained glass windows. The Cathedral has been featured in many books, films and even video games, most notably The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Always remember that a visit to Paris must be savored, especially on short visits. You can always return to see what you have missed on another holiday
However, if a week is all that you have, all the more that you should make the most out of your visit to Paris. To maximize your holiday, you should take Paris one bite at a time. Never mind that you would not be able to get to see the whole of Paris in your brief stay there.

From your second day on, roam about the city on foot on your way to your chosen itineraries for the day. Who knows what delightful spot or corner you might discover while strolling about the city? You do not have anything to worry about walking in Paris, as long as it is in daytime. The city is quite flat and very friendly to pedestrians. If you do get tired, you can take a short rest at a sidewalk café. Then just flag a cab on your way back to your hotel.
And since you have only a short holiday to Paris, remember to see these popular landmarks that Paris is known for:
1. The Louvre Museum. The Louvre is the world’s most visited museum, and it houses some of the best artworks that man has ever produced. However, it would be very foolish to see the entire Louvre in just one day. The best time to go there is on a slow weekday.
2. The Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is considered to be among the most recognizable structures in the world. It is also the global icon that stands for Paris. You can see the Eiffel Tower from any point in Paris, but the view from the top of the Tower is something you should not miss.
3. The Arc de Triomphe. The Arc is another monument that is considered iconic of Paris. It stands on the Place de l’Etoile at the eastern end of Champs-Élysées, serving to commemorate the soldiers of France who died in its wars. You can climb to the top of the Arc and enjoy a panoramic view of Paris.
4. The Notre Dame de Paris. The Notre Dame de Paris is one of the most beautiful examples of Gothic architecture in the world. It is also a treasure trove of medieval sculptures and stained glass windows. The Cathedral has been featured in many books, films and even video games, most notably The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Always remember that a visit to Paris must be savored, especially on short visits. You can always return to see what you have missed on another holiday
