My mother says that a womans success is to not look her age. I can truly say that my mother is very successful!


I also must be doing a great job since I don't look my age either. You know what they say, like mother like daughter!

Has anyone ever had that out of mind experience when reading a book? Suddenly the sturctured words typed on the page transform into a pretty picture around you & you become encompassed by the reality the author is trying to portray. Suddenly you become one of the characters & you suddenly teleport into a laugh out loud scene. Then the pictures disappear & you're left on your bed laughing your sorry ass off because of carefully selected words promogluating a stupid ha ha moment.

Who knew that a yoga gerbera induced scene followed by some illicit floral sex scenes would brighten up my day. Melanie La'Brooy I love you.

Q: You say there are really only two types of men. Do tell!

A: Most men fall into one of two categories, Marrying Men and Hardened Bachelors, aka Bad Boys. In my private practice as a love coach, many women in relationship trouble often don’t know how to tell the difference between the two, and that’s the problem. They fail to see the telltale signs of a man who’s really relationship material, or a man who’s a Bad Boy.

Q: What are the signs of a Marrying Man?

A: It’s not particularly tough to spot this type of guy. He says things like, “I’m looking to get married,” with the ease of a man saying, “My company is looking for a receptionist.” He brings up the subject of marriage, family and commitment on his own, unflinchingly, and without prodding. When dating, he asks questions like, “What was your last relationship like?” to understand whether you qualify as a marriage-minded woman. Marrying Men like being in relationships. In fact, they need them. Now, “need” isn’t a dirty word when it comes to men in relationships, because in truth, men only marry the women they need. Bad Boys just keep burning through women and then replace them with different models… who sometimes are models!

Q: So how would you define and describe a Bad Boy?

A: He can date in every age range and shag whomever he wants because he’s charismatic and handsome. He is also a master at making women feel really, really special because he loves them. These men aren’t monogamous—they don’t have to be! They have so many opportunities to cheat, they figure what’s a bon-bon or two when you’ve been offered the whole darn box?

Q: How can single women easily identify a Bad Boy? Sometimes it’s not that easy!

A: They often make wisecracks about how “unhappy” all of their married friends are. Bad Boys often run in tight little groups comprised of other sexy, equally unavailable males. Their long-term primary relationships are often with each other, but they are available to women for sex; fun, short-term romance; long-term, non-exclusive sexual arrangements; or marriages made solely for their convenience (which will likely be riddled with affairs). Beneath it all, though, most Bad Boys are still traumatized from a twisted relationship deep in their past—with mommy or an ex.

Q: Is it ever worth it to date a Bad Boy?

A: Bad Boys are perfect playmates for women who aren’t looking for a serious relationship, like divorced women who don’t want to get remarried and are just ready for excitement and fun. In fact, mature women are usually the only suitable partners for bad boys. They’re wise enough to understand the value of what he has to offer without making the mistake of falling in love with him. The thing to remember about these guys is that you will never come first; he’s totally self-involved, so keep your expectations realistic. Be in it for fun and fun only, and try not to expect more, because a Bad Boy will not be able to give it to you. Resist the temptation to think you’re different, that you can change him because you can’t, no matter how fantastic you are. It really is not you, it’s him.

Q: Can a woman ever win over a Bad Boy?

A: Bad Boys all have one thing in common: a need for “space.” His rigid boundaries ensure that you’ll remain far too distant for real intimacy to occur. As soon as he feels he’s being emotionally hemmed in, he’ll panic. This is one reason why these men prefer dating very young women; they know that most young girls aren’t ready for marriage and won’t pressure him much.

If in the extremely rare instance when a Bad Boy actually lets his guard down long enough to fall in love, know that he’ll be virtually tool-free when it comes to working out a real relationship. He’s often immature, petty, prone to jealousy, and then some! Frankly, in most cases, you’ll know that the relationship needs to end. It has to be you and you alone realizing this; it won’t come from all of your friends and family members continually reminding you how wrong he is for you. But when you figure it out and get over him, it’s the kind of experience that teaches you a lot of good lessons!

Don't do this. Don't do that. Clean this. Clean that. What happened here? What happened there? Why did you do this? Why did you do that? Fix this. Fix that. Why aren't you perfect like me?

Shut the f*ck up. Open your eyes & maybe you'll see you're not perfect.

Stop blaming things on me, because those imperfections that are apparently caused by me are merely a figment of your imagination, wishful thinking - not true.

You love to control me & make me feel like an incompetent imbicile, who's only good for being screamed at.

Get lost because I don't want to hear it. I'm so sick & tired of hearing your complaints & how I make your life a miserable firey hell!

I have lost all respect for you. All of it.

You talk about respect, yet you can't seem to give it. Nothing gives you the right to talk down on me & make me feel like an idiot every living second of my life. Your spiteful words annoy me & all they do is make me disrespect you further.

Stop scrutinizing my miniscule actions. Stop magnifying every little thing you think I do wrong. I am perfectly capable of telling myself that I am not perfect & you breathing down my neck doesn't help. You shit me. I don't need another toxic person in my life telling me how incapable & unworthy I am!

The hole's getting bigger, & it's getting harder to fill. Sooner or later you'll find yourself standing alone in an empty world with nothing but your cold, harsh heart.

If I had it my way, I'd cut you out of my life & never speak to you again. I hate you.

Strong words from a dumb eighteen year old, wouldn't you agree?

Waiting for the actual event is worse than the actual outcome. Whether the outcome is good or bad, we learn to deal with it. We usually can't cope with not knowing what will happen.

Don't be a confused child. Just tell yourself it'll all be over soon & instead of sitting on your ass & doing nothing, do something productive that'll actually help the outcome you want to achieve.

You don't want to look back & blame laziness & anxiety on the predicament you're faced with now.

Make anticipation you're best friend & use it as fuel to keep your fire burning.

As you've guessed, my name is Thea which is greek for goddess. I'm a seventeen year old, who currently attends Macquarie University studying B-Comm accounting.

I was born on the eighteenth day of April 1990, which makes me a firey Aries and born in the year of the Horse, who has a love for diamonds and romance.

I am an only child which explains the abnormal behaviour I promulgate. Throughout the years I've learned how to entertain myself without turning into a complete psychopath. Unfortunately, I dislike the spoilt brat cliche I'm often imposed with. I don't consider myself a snob, who is obsessed with materialistic highs. Although I admit I can be a brat .. sometimes, especially when you push the wrong buttons.

I'd assume if you met me, you'd think I'm very much angelic, quiet & bubbly. Only the last would probably be true. I'd say I have split personalities, not only split but multiple! One day I could be tearing your head off, the next I'd be showering you with hugs & kisses. But one thing is certain, whatever my mood, I'll express it with my face & actions. I'm often told that I have mature thoughts, & that only applies sometimes as I'm a kid at heart.

My hair is naturally brown, so please don't annoy me by asking what colour dye I use. My father being spanish explains why an Asian like me doesn't have charcoal black hair. I was born and raised for four years in the Philippines until my family migrated to Australia.

Being asian has its quirks, such as having the ability to outrun anything, having a super fast metabolism, believing in the supernatural and being tiny enough to fit into small crevices. Or maybe the last aberration only applies to me, I'm what you would call 'petite.'

I follow the Catholic religion, so you'd probably see me attending church every Sunday morning or night and reading the bible for inspirational quotes on how to live my life. But this doesn't mean I'm perfect, I do of course have flaws.

You'll see me prowling around the area with mainly boys. Boys are genuine & don't usually obsess about useless gossips. I enjoy being one of the boys. Playing sports, being immature and immersing myself in obscure activities, which in most cases are illegal, absolutely hilarious and extremely fun!

Yes, I'm an athletic type. I'll be up for anything! Throughout my years, the sports that I have competed in have been Basketball, Indoor Soccer & Swimming.

Not only do I enjoy playing, but I love watching sports. What girl can resist hot, sweaty boys? With their big muscular arms and athletic body. Rugby does it for me! & those basketball & soccer players - oh damn.

I'm currently content with being single. I'm not looking for anything temporary, & I'm not really keen in looking or testing out the waters. But you know what they say, you think you know what you want .. but you really haven't a clue. If you're really something amazing, you may sweep me off my feet without me or you even knowing.

I have issues with technology, as I believe they killed any prospects of romance. Then again it could just be the boys of my generation that don't seem to have the romantic gene. Old fashioned dates is something I want revived!

Reading beautiful prose is what I live for. I'm what you would call a book nerd and I'm a sucker for Romance novels. Although a hearty laugh is what I love. Books allow me to escape into a realm on contentment, which my life usually lacks.

Throughout my life, I've met a few bad eggs, so don't hate if I have trust issues. I also have a habit of twisting your words to suit my frame of mind. It takes someone special to beat me at my mind games. My advise, give up & let me win, you'll do me & yourself a favour.

Feel privilaged if I call you a friend. This does not include if you are someone on my MSN list or if I have accepted you on myspace. But once you're in my little network of 'true friends' you'll be showered with love & appreciation. You'll also get an earful of how great I am & how lucky you are to have someone sexy like me in your life!

I'm going to end with the best thing to do in the world! & that is eating. It's my favourite thing to do! Food is the most beautiful thing on this whole entire planet. It never disappoints! More likely than not you'll find me chewing, if not, i'll have a bag of treats secretly stashed.
