Dating a Rockstar…

Have you ever hear the phrase “Avoid dating musicians?” Well, if you have not, then you will hear it from me. Girls tend to avoid dating musicians. Nope, they are attracted to musicians *gosh, so much talents* but having a relationship with them can be such a big NO NO to them. Maybe it’s the common knowledge musicians cannot be trusted or that his first love will always be music or maybe is the late nights and girl fans part. Yep, dating musicians can be quite a heartbreaker..

But then again, it’s not that hard. I should know about it *winks* Musicians have certain characteristics that should be known before entering into a relationship. What you need is lots of patience, understanding, persistence and love for music * I’m working on this* wish me luck

So here is my piece of advice..

Love Music. Enjoy listening to the music they are creating or when they play. If you hate their music, you’re signing up for disaster.

Understanding. Understand that part of being a musician means having late night’s activity and thongs of girl fans. It does not mean that they are cheating on you. Understand that sometimes they are so caught up with music and their gig that they may tend to forget you are around. It does not mean that they don’t need you to be there.

Time. Music is a time-consuming addiction more than a ‘job’. Resist the urge to compete for their attention when they are working. Don’t pout and whine that he is always spending time with his music.

Encouragements. Encourage them. Musicians are not superman. They also need the boost of confidence and praises from you, not just from his fans.

Security. You need lots of them. Understand that musicians have had a long-term relationship with the music. Any issues on possessiveness and/or jealousy got to be managed well. Don’t try and block the person from their music. Remember that with musicians, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE NUMBER TWO, even though they tell you otherwise.

 Yep, dating musicians can be tough but then again, musicians are well known for their passion *winks*

Nicknames for boyfie (& you)

I read somewhere that men like their girlfriend or love calling them using nick names. And I don’t mean names that their mother or male friends calls them with.

So why call them with nicknames? Calling them with nicknames makes them feel special and it gives a romantic spice to the relationship.  It’s also a compliment to your boyfie and it romantic & sweet *right girls*. And I sure it definitely brings a smile to his face.

So how to choose a great /perfect nickname for your boyfie:

1. Must be generic. Don’t make use of your boyfriend’s name with the nickname.
2. Don’t ever ever call him the nickname his parents of male friends call him with. He won’t like it.
3. Do base it on negative traits that your boyfie has. i.e. his looks
4. Nicknames must be flattering or makes him feel important
5. Don’t call his with a nickname his ex use to call him. It’s a sure turn-off
6. Choose something that is related to what he calls you i.e. he calls you ‘kitten’, you call him ‘tiger’

It doesn’t matter it is sweet or sexy or funny or playful *winks* or cheesy *to make the people around you cringe*. Just keep it special, unique and cute and I’m sure he will appreciate it.

Here are some names I’ve compiled that you can call him or he can call you:

Sexy  beautiful handsome sweetheart my love darling sugar lips sweet cheeks snookums   sunshine smiley angel sexy babe Tarzan Superman Honey Darling My man Boyfie honeybunny snugglebunny snoogums butter sugar blossom baby Bo-bo Lil Man Babycakes hun sweety lil mama boo Schnookie bunches of oats Pumpkin amor Babydoll silly goose angel my lovey sweetiepie facecake Little bear    Movie Star Cowboy Honey Bear Big guy Cuddly Bear Hot Chocolate/ H.C Tiger Stud Sugar Daddy Daddy Beauty Beautiful Bella Buttercup Cupcake Cutie Cutie Pie Dear Doll Dumpling Hulk Hunny Bunn(s) Gorgeous Kitten Love Lovely Lulu My Little Cutie My Sweet Baboo Brown Eyed Girl Peanut Pookie     Princess Rosey Sweet Pea Twinkle Toes

So girls, get him a nickname and I’m sure he’ll melt for you *wink wink*.

Proposals & Ice-creams..

Hey girls,

Guess what?!! I just heard another great proposal from a colleague  

They plan a trip with a bunch of friends to conquer the highest mountain in South East Asia – Mt. Kinabalu in Sabah; and amidst the breath-taking splendor and panoramic view on top of the mountain, he proposed to her. *Grins happily* Hearing things like that makes me smile; not because I’m a hopeless romantic but because it’s a reassurance to me that life (and love) is a beautiful thing .

Well, I know we said we’ll probably do a post on great proposals but I’ve read so many interesting ones that it’s just so super duper hard to select a few. However, I found one that caught my attention and I just had to share it with you girls

Hot sun and freezing cold ice cream. A contrast that creates a strong combination. These were the elements William used to propose to me, and this is the way it went: We were spending the afternoon at the beach. When we arrived the sun was high in the sky, the sea was crystal blue and it was HOT. I sunbathed for an hour or so, then we had a long swim in the water to cool off, played Frisbee for a long hour and got heated up again, and that was the point at which Paul suggested we go and have something cold to drink at the nearby restaurant. I agreed happily – it was a perfect idea – so we collected our bags and various things and headed to the restaurant. We sat down, our table had a view of the vast ocean (of course!) and we waited to be served. Meanwhile Paul gave some excuse for leaving the table for a few minutes (I think he said he was going to the gents) and returned after a minute or two carrying two ice creams on a stick. This was a little strange – usually we would order from the waiter – but I still hadn’t noticed that something a little ‘unusual’ was happening. “Look what I brought us” he cried out to me, “ice cream”, he held the two ice creams out towards me, one had the word “MARRY” on a little sign stuck in the ice cream, the other the word “ME” was on a little sign stuck in the ice cream. My heart missed a beat, I just looked at him, or should I say “gazed” at him, then I started laughing and crying at the same time. Of course I said YES!! This was so Paul: a cute, sweet and refreshing way to propose to me. The ice cream started melting, while we kissed and hugged, people in the restaurant were smiling all around us, some even pulled out a camera to photograph us. We ate some of the ice cream – it was part of my marriage proposal so I didn’t mean to miss on that – and then Paul pulled out an engagement ring, and kneeling down on one knee said to me: “today you’ve made me the happiest man in the world” and put the ring on my finger. So that was my marriage proposal: cool, fresh and sweet. Until today I love ice cream and my husband! 

I don’t know why this story caught my eye but it’s just so simple, sweet and refreshing :) (or maybe it’s just because I love ice-creams :p) For me, there’s no need to spend huge sum of money orchestrating a whole event of fireworks and smoke writing ‘Will you marry in?” in the sky. A memorable proposal can just be, “He proposed to me while wearing his batik slippers” J or “He popped the question on our 2^nd ‘dating’ anniversary at the exact same spot he asked me to be his girlfriend” ”.

Whatever your proposal may be, or you dream it will be, just remember, that love is a miracle

Till death do us part

Last weekend, the boyfriend and I went to watch ‘He’s just not into you’ at Cineleisure. And guess what?!! We got to witness a totally romantic proposal, right in front of us. Well, not really the kind that turn me all mushy inside and all teary outside, but it was an unforgettable one. (Mainly it’s because I’ve never seen a marriage proposal happening right in front on me before :p).

Anyway, this was how it happened. After the movie when the credits started rolling, this trio of guys all prepared with mics and a guitar strolled to the front and started belting out this popular Malay song (which I don’t know the title but it goes something like ‘Aku inginkan kau selalu…’). And then pictures of this one Malay guy and Malay girl started flashing on the movie screen. And there was about 8 people standing along the aisles holding tea light candles.

Halfway through the song, that Malay guy whose face keeps flashing on screen, who was sitting around the middle of the cinema, stood up with a mic, turned to his girlfriend sitting right beside him and said something like this. “I’ve been with you for 7 years already, and I don’t want to be with you for the next 10 years of my life, but for the rest of my life…” And then the question which everyone was waiting for with bated breath; he went down on his knees and asked “Will you marry me?”

But before I could hear an answer from the girlfriend, the whole cinema erupted with cheers and claps while the trio at the front started singing the song again.

Well, I think the guy got the answer he was waiting for because in the midst of the cheering, I saw the girlfriend stood up and hug her new fiancée.

It must have taken the boyfriend not only a lot of effort to plan something like this in the cinema (special permission needed perhaps, as after the pictures slideshow, the movie credits continued), but also a lot of courage to do this in front of a crowd.

Occasions like this just put a smile on my face.  It’s amazing; the feeling of falling in love. But it’s even more incredible, to stay in love for a lifetime.

… to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.

Loves,

LovePieces

PS: Probably a post on unique unforgettable proposal ideas will be up soon. After we’ve done some research that’s it

Falling in love…

” It is a mystery why we fall in love. It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery when it comes. It is a mystery why some love grows and it is a mystery why some love fails.”

Yes, that is so true.. Just think back of the times where you fell in love, all the throughts running thru your head, and your heart skipping a bit every time he smiles at you, or the mushy feeling when ever he stares into your eyes… The feeling of love that makes your heart feel like its going to burst, walking around in a daze, smiling to yourself..

The list goes on and on but what matters is that most of us has experience it before.. A sweet happy feeling that makes life better each day..

Here we are, hoping to capture that feeling and somehow keeping it with you everyday.. So that each day would bring a smile to your face..

” Remember this and keep it to your heart. Love has its time, its own season, its own reason for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you. “
