The Value of Friendship

I've never really known the real value of people until now. I have never felt like friendship was really that important because I had my dad, I had my boyfriend and that seemed to be just about enough. Whenever I was single I would be a loner, I would have just about enough friends to go out with occasionally.
Now I really can value a real friend because I have finally gotten to know genuine people that you or I in this case feel like sharing every waking moment with. It's indeed quite a new and recent feeling I have been having and many people already know this and life by this but I want to emphasize the importance of real genuine friends.

Knowing a true friend is the tough part. A friend has to have the ability to listen to you and stick to you through your bad times. It has to be the other way around too though; you should have to want to confide to that friend. You should feel comfortable in confiding and comfortable in being with the friend as well. You should be able to cry in front of them if things get tough and you should be able to know that they will definitely go out of their way for you if necessary.  A friendship is a relationship too that both parts have to work on regularly.

A friend is one's best counsellor and advisor. A good friend is one's best companion and laugh-mate. A friend is one's best therapist and in the end, a friend can be one's lifesaver.

To my dear friends: I love you, I cherish you and I thank you for all the great moments spend and all the tears cried out. <3

A Real Life Saver

So remember when I posted that I am not solely going to concentrate on reviewing books anymore (although the next review is coming pretty soon ), and that I will also give you some livesavers. Some more livesaving and some more of the saver of the moment (whatever that moment might be).

This one is pretty recent and it's supposed to be a no brainer, but so many people around the world and around the clock ignore it. So here it goes:

If you are NOT feeling well, GO to the Doctor and DON'T procrastinate!! 


Why this you may ask? The story behind the advice just happened to me recently. My boyfriend got sick on my birthday. This little "not feeling well" mood turned into high fever later that night. His fever lasted throughout the next day as well. He was shivering all the time and he complained of soreness all over. He couldn't swallow food and therefore couldn't eat. This went on for the whole weekend and if you thought it doesn't get worse it did. He woke me up in the middle of the night telling me he had to take a shower. A shower at 4 am? Riiiiiiiight, I thought. Then I touched him and he was drenched in sweat. This happened every night since. We went to the doctor on a Monday morning and the doctor couldn't diagnose whether it was a simple case of tonsilitis or if it was a monononucleosis. The latter was worse and would mean that he would stay sick for at least 2 weeks after that. In addition to that it meant that I was going to get sick too, since it is called the kissing disease and only contagious through exchange of saliva. I googled the symptoms and they were exactly the ones my boyfriend was exhibiting. Damn, I thought.
So two days and a lot of caretaking later, we went to the doctors again and she said it was getting better. Oh, right I forgot to tell you that it was just a tonsilitis after all. So the doctor made a comment that left us all thinking. She said that we came just at the right time. If the tonsilitis was left untreated it could've developed a bubble or so (I know it sounds funny :D). That bubble is lifethreatening. So there we were stunned which left me thinking and eventually led me to write this post.

So many people die of the simplest things all the time. Pneumonia, because it was carelessly left untreated. A stroke, because the person neglected to take Aspirin. Tonsilitis, because you didn't go to the doctor. Get my point? Do not neglect your health for a second.
For the ladies: put yourself first gals, do not take care of others if you should take care of yourself.
For the gentlemen: Do not act so tough and refuse a doc because you think it's gonna be okay, because the possibility that it will be is pretty slim.

So guys stay healthy and safe. And precious I'm so relieved and glad your better <3

Bible to Men’s and Women’s Behavior

Another book from the Pease laboratory is Why Men Don’t Have a Clue & Women Always Need More Shoes. This book was once again co-authored by Allan’s wife, Barbara Pease and gives us a deeper insight on the Male and Female clockworks. We get a deeper insight on why men are so physically attracted to women and how women are attracted to men. In this book, the point scoring system of females is also introduced. This system distributed points to each activity done by the partner but women score differently than men. This book is a absolute must have if you want a extended peek into the male and female functioning.

Excerpt from Why Men Don’t Have A Clue & Women Always Need More Shoes:
Why Do Men Avoid Commitment?
Commitment: verb, female: A desire to get married and raise a family: verb, male: not trying to chat up other women while out with one’s wife or girlfriend.
