Do U Believe in Love??

Why people fall 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.

You can analyze this mystery and look for reasons and
causes, but you will never do anymore that take the life out
of the experience. Just as life itself is more than the sum of
the bones and muscles and electrical impulses in the body,
LoVe is more than the sum of the interests and attractions
and commonalities that two people share. And just as life
itself is a gift that comes and goes in its own time, so too, the
coming of LoVe must be taken as an unfathomable gift that
cannot be questioned in its ways.

Sometimes, hopefully at least once in your life - the gift of
LoVe will come to you in full flower. Take hold of it and
celebrate it in all inexpressible beauty. This is the dream we
all share. More often, it will come and take hold of you,
celebrate you for a brief moment, then move on.

When this happen to young people, they too often try to
grasp the LoVe and hold it to them, refusing to see that it is a
gift that just as freely, moves away. When they fall out of
LoVe, or the person they LoVe feels the spirit of LoVe leaving,
they try desperately to reclaim the LoVe that is lost rather
than accepting the gift for what it was, then moving on.They want answers where there are no answers. They
want to know what is wrong in them that makes the other
person no longer LoVe them, or try to get their LoVe to change,
thinking that if some small things were different, LoVe would
bloom again. They blame their circumstances and say that if
they go far away and start a new life, their LoVe will grow.

They try anything to give meaning to what has happened. But
there is no meaning beyond the LoVe itself, and until they
accept its own mysterious ways, they live in a sea of misery.

You need to know this about LoVe, and accept it. You need to
treat what it brings you with kindness. If you find yourself in
LoVe with someone who does not LoVe you, be gentle with
yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. LoVe just didn't
choose to rest in the other person's heart.

If you find yourself someone in LoVe with you but you don't
LoVe him back, feel honored that LoVe came and called at your
door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not
take advantage; do not cause pain. How you deal with LoVe
is how you deal with yourself. All our hearts feel the same
pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different.

If you fall in LoVe with another, and he falls in LoVe with you,
and then LoVe chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it nor to
assess blame. Let it go. There is a reason and there is a
meaning. You will know in time.

Remember that you don't choose LoVe. LoVe chooses you. All
you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it
comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing,
then reach out and give it away. Give it back to the person
who brought it alive in you. Give it to others who deem it
poor in spirit. Give it to the world around you in any way you can.

There is where many LoVeRs go wrong. Having been so long
without LoVe, they understand LoVe only as a need. They see
their hearts as empty places that will be filled by LoVe, and
they begin to look at LoVe as something that flows to them
rather than from them.

The first blush of new LoVe is filled to overflowing, but as
their LoVe cools, they revert to seeing their LoVe as a need.
They cease to be someone who generates LoVe and instead
become someone who seeks LoVe. They forget that the
secret of LoVe is that it is a gift, and that it can be made to
grow only by giving it away.

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. But if it chooses to leave from your heart or
from the heart of your LoVeRs, there is nothing you can do and
there is nothing you should do. LoVe always has been and
always will be a mystery. BE GLAD THAT IT CAME TO LIVE
FOR A MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE.

If you keep you heart open, it will come again...

Prodigy to Prostitute : Shocking Revelation of Shilpa Lee

Written by FL Sam on Wednesday, April 02, 2008

It was reported in our local & foreign papers about a Malaysian Maths Genius who has become a prostitute. It is really shocking to hear about it. What cause her choose this path when she can be a successful person being a math genius.???? Family problems, Too much pressure to succeed or bad influence!!!

A gifted Malaysian student who won a place at Oxford at the age of 13 has been exposed as a $260-an-hour (£130) prostitute, British press reports said, in a tragic tale of the prominent UK-based Muslim family's fall from grace.Sufiah Yusof, 23, advertises her body on an Internet sex site and works out of a back street flat in Salford, 320 kilometers (200 miles) north west of London, the UK's Daily Mail reported on Sunday.

According to the paper, she describes herself as a '"very pretty size 8, 32D bust and 5ft 5in tall - available for booking every day from 11am to 8pm" with a preference for "older gentlemen".

When an undercover reporter visited her at the flat, Yusof stripped naked and gyrated on a bed as she reeled off her list of services, the paper added.

Yusof's family was once hailed as the "brightest in Britain" after she and two of her siblings won places at Oxford by the time they were 16, the paper said.

Yusof began studying at the university in 1997 at the age of 13, but ran away three years later, saying her parents had put too much pressure on her to succeed.

She was found by police 12 days later working as a waitress at an Internet café, but refused to return to her parents, who had given up their jobs to educate their five children at home.

At the time, Yusof accused her "controlling and bullying" father of forcing her to work in the cold to help concentration and said she never wanted to see him again, the paper said.

The prostitution exposé comes just days after her father was jailed for sexually assaulting two teenaged students, the Daily Mail said.

A British court jailed Farooq Khan for 18 months after he admitted to groping two girls, both aged 15, while tutoring them in math at his home. He had been jailed for three years in 1992 for his part in a $3 million (£1.5 million) mortgage swindle involving several family members.

When contacted by the Daily Mail, Yusof's mother Halimahton, 51, a scientist, said she had no idea her daughter was working as a prostitute.

Speaking from her home in Coventry, she said: "I didn't know anything about that. I am not in touch with Sufiah any more. I have got no comment."

Is This Woman Insane?

WICHITA, Kan. - Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years — so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the boyfriend finally called police.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.
"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."
Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.
"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself."
He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.
"And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'" Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom."
The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.
Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.
"She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said.
She was reported in fair condition at a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators.
Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.
Police have declined to release the couple's names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number.
The case has been the buzz of Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor.
"I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," he said.
Ellis said he had known the woman since she was a child but that he had not seen her for at least six years.
He said she had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up. At one time the woman worked for a long-term care facility, he said, but he did not know what kind of work she did there.
"It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."

However Mean the Streets, Have an Exit Strategy

In the South-Central neighborhood of Los Angeles, where Margaret B. Jones grew up in the 1980s, gangs recruited “with the same intensity as the N.F.L. did,” she says, and shootouts and hits were so ubiquitous that “the odds were stacked against a male child living to see 25.” Peddlers went door to door selling life insurance policies, reminding parents of these deadly stats, and even teenage girls and elderly church ladies carried pistols to protect themselves. As the crack epidemic metastasized, and turf wars escalated, the ’hood became a combat zone, with police raids and deadly face-offs between Bloods and Crips becoming routine parts of daily life.

A dealer the young Ms. Jones made deliveries for lays out the unforgiving rules of the street:
¶ “Trust no one. Even your own momma will sell you out for the right price or if she gets scared enough.”

¶ “War has no room for diplomacy, war is outright vicious. Never expect mercy and never show it.”

¶ “There is no greater sin in war than ignorance. Never speak or act on anything you aren’t 100 percent sure of, or someone will expose your mistake and take you down for it.”

This violent world has been memorably depicted before in Sanyika Shakur’s “Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member” (1993) and Leon Bing’s “Do or Die” (1991). What sets Ms. Jones’s humane and deeply affecting memoir apart is not just that it’s told from the point of view of a young girl coming of age in this world, but also that it focuses on the bonds of love and loyalty that can bind relatives and gang members together, and the craving after safety and escape that haunts so many lives in the ’hood.

Although some of the scenes she has recreated from her youth (which are told in colorful, streetwise argot) can feel self-consciously novelistic at times, Ms. Jones has done an amazing job of conjuring up her old neighborhood. She captures both the brutal realities of a place where children learn to sleep on the floor to avoid the random bullets that might come smashing through the windows and walls at night, and the succor offered by family and friends. She conveys the extraordinary stoicism of women like Big Mom, her foster mother, who raised four grandchildren while working a day job and a night job. And she draws indelible portraits of these four kids who became her siblings: two young girls she would help raise, and two older boys, whom she emulated and followed into the Bloods.

Ms. Jones — or Bree, as she was known to family and friends — was abused as a child, put in foster care, and after three years of carrying a trash bag filled with her possessions from one temporary home to another, ended up, at 8 ½, in Big Mom’s home in South-Central — a part white, part Native American girl who looked utterly out of place in this nearly all-black world.
Bree had been told she had attention deficit disorder, reactive attachment disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and labeled “S.E.D. (severely emotionally disabled).” By age 8 she had “decided not to hurt anymore” and mastered the art of detachment: “I was shocked that I hadn’t thought of it before. I would watch my life from the outside rather than feel it from within. If I couldn’t feel it, it couldn’t hurt me.”
Though her foster family’s love would help heal Bree’s heart, the numbness always threatened to return, and she observes that this sort of emotional hibernation was rampant in South-Central. When Bree went to visit her foster brother Taye in prison — he’d been sentenced for selling drugs — he told her he loved her but didn’t want her to come back for any more visits: waiting for visits and letters, he said, “was killin me,” and he’d decided he wasn’t going to “even find out what was up wit y’all.” He had to do his “time solo” or he “ain't gonna make it.”

You Bitch!!

Victoria Beckham has allegedly been labeled a "grade-A bitch" by the crew of her new reality show.
The former Spice Girl has reportedly infuriated staff working on the NBC program - which follows Victoria and husband David's summer US move as David joins the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team - with her rude attitude and arrogant behavior.
A show insider told Britain's Star magazine: "We think she's full of herself and not very nice. She's very picky, demanding and rude. And she was mean to the assistants, too.
"She waltzes around with her icy attitude. People will walk up to her and say, 'Welcome to America', or, 'Good luck with the move', and she doesn't even stop to talk to them.
"The show is designed to make her a star in the States, but she's dreaming if she thinks that's going to happen. She's coming off as a grade-A bitch!"
It is also alleged the show's nervous producers are worried the series will be boring and a major flop.
The source added: "No one knows what to do with her to make the show interesting - she's so boring! Every suggestion the producers make, she rejects."

You're all about sunshine and smiles. Sweet as you are, we wouldn't be surprised to come across you sitting in a green meadow, surrounded by adorable baby animals eating out of your hand while your halo shines in the sun. Okay, maybe not. But you are an awfully good person. Sure, you may have dipped your toe in the naughty pool once or twice, but you generally stick to the shallow end, leaving the deep waters to the leather-and-nudie-magazine crowd. It's all well and good to follow the straight and narrow, but remember: It's okay to walk on the wild side once in a while, too. Have a drink. Make a crank call. Go to strip club. Trust us — as long as no one gets hurt, it can be fun to be bad. waaaaaaahh.. beshh!! remember ar... it can be fun to be bad! hmm... good, i'm about to do bad things this coming weekend..
