~ Woman I am ~

(speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil)

Lovers, partners and all things else

Today is the beginning of the end
Why you have to be so insulse?
How can we remain until we ascend?
Destined together was the start,
And now all that remains, it's both of us apart.
"The problem is all inside your head" - you said to me.
Well, I can sure help set you free.
It grieves me so to see you in such pain...
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again.
All I've done is try to explain...
And days have passed, I've realized it was all in vain.
Wonder what really happened to us then?
- No, I don't want any men!!
Last night you told me in my sleep...
That it was me you couldn't keep...
How can I tolerate such thing?
You act like your mind swing.
You said I wasn't woman enough for you?
Because I talked too much and was egotistic too.
I wasn't soft and warm...
There was so much I needed to do!
When I wasn't doing you any harm...
You spit me out after all the chew.
In addition to that always nagging as well...
Wow, I made your life a living hell!
You said I should be polite and adjust...
Or everything should fall to dust.
Be supportive, not draw comparisons with others to you.
When all you did was again and again all the same do?
I should have always listened without a debate...
I'm sure neither of us would of ran out of fate?!
I don't fit into your idea of a woman
For I flare at the slightest provocation...
I speak my mind without cessation.
Arguments are an integral part of me,
It's sad that after all this time, you just can't see.
As you said all I do is talk nonsense
And I should not say nothing in my defense!
You said: There's a man out there for me...
But you and I are certainly not meant to be.
I could settle for any or all of them if I want...
All I had to do, is go out there and haunt.
I know what you have said of me is not true

Jealousy made me a new woman to you.
What we become! Why didn't you give me a clue?
How I wish this wasn't really true.
Justifications is what you claim I have to say...
And all I do is as I may and my own way.
Killing my spirit, heart and soul was so brutally crude,
Can I ever rise over this character assassination so rude?
My life doesn't need to be lived by two
After all, "I'm man enough for me and you?"
Love is acceptance of the others weaknesses too
Strengths one can accept without loving, getting used to;
You said I am not the perfect woman for you...
A Perfect Woman accepts flaws, yet loves her man true.

Tips for getting started on a fitness plan

Social Isolation Makes People Cold, Literally!

The cold shoulder is more than just a metaphor. A new study found that social isolation can actually make people feel cold.
Researchers wanted to learn just how icy loneliness can get. So two University of Toronto psychologists, Chen-Bo Zhong and Geoffrey Leonardelli, asked some subjects to remember a time when they felt socially excluded, such as being rejected from a club, while others recalled memories of being accepted into a group. Afterward, the researchers asked all the participants to estimate the temperature of the room, telling them this task was unrelated to the previous activity and that the building's maintenance staff simply wanted to know.

While estimates ranged from 54 degrees Fahrenheit to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, in general, those who had been remembering emotionally chilly times also literally felt chillier, even though the room's temperature remained constant during the experiment. People who had recalled feeling ostracized estimated the temperature to be about 71 degrees Fahrenheit, on average. Participants who were remembering the warm, fuzzy feeling of social inclusion felt the room to be a balmy 75 degrees Fahrenheit, on average. The discrepancy is a statistically significant difference, Zhong said.

"We found that the experience of social exclusion literally feels cold," Zhong said. "This may be why people use temperature-related metaphors to describe social inclusion and exclusion."

Loneliness is chilly

In a second experiment, Zhong and Leonardelli had participants play a computer-simulated ball-tossing game in which some people were passed the ball more often than others, so some volunteers felt included and others felt excluded. Afterward, the participants had to rate the appeal of various foods and beverages, such as hot coffee, crackers, an ice-cold Coke, an apple and hot soup.

The unpopular players were much more likely to hanker for warm items such as soup and coffee than those who had just felt socially accepted. The findings imply that participants who had been feeling left out were also literally feeling left out in the cold, and wanted the warm foods to heat them up.

"It's striking that people preferred hot coffee and soup more when socially excluded," Leonardelli said. "Our research suggests that warm chicken soup may be a literal coping mechanism for social isolation."

The study is detailed in the September issue of the journal Psychological Science.

Why the connection?

The researchers speculate that this link between temperature and social inclusion might arise when people are babies.

"For an infant, being closer to a caretaker brings warmth," Zhong said. "When you're a kid, being held by your mother means warmth, and being distant means coldness."

This connection continues throughout life, since when a person is in a room with 10 other people, the ambient temperature is warmer than when in a room alone.

"When we talk about metaphors, they're not just language; they're literally the way we experience the world," Zhong told LiveScience.

This finding fits well with a previous study of Zhong's, in which he asked people to recall a time when they were morally challenged and did something they feel guilty about. Afterward, those people felt a greater need for physical cleansing, such as washing their hands.

"Social experience and physical experience actually overlap to a great extent," Zhong said.
Our social perceptions are not always abstract, but include other information such as bodily perception."

>> I find this amazing because I am always cold. LOL <<

~Desiludida ~

Um dia no passado
Tive um aspecto jovem
Juventude que vem
e vai... mas que errado.

As vezes, sinto que estou a meio
nem venho, nem vou...
Eh como estar entre o caminho e o passeio
e um carro que veio, mas ja passou!

Confusa, complicada, desesperada...
Apontam eles o dedo,
grito, chamam-me revoltada,

E dizem: «olha tem medo»
Fico perdida, ofendida
Ninguem me percebe!! «I Desiludida»

Aprende - 400 palavras - 1 minuto!

Basta seguir umas regras basicas (simples).
Mas antes de tudo, quero explicar que as regras apresentam uma ou mais excecoes, o que demonstra duas coisas:

Primeira: que tais excecoes so servem precisamente para confirmar as regras.
Segunda: que eh preferivel, errar numa ou noutra ocasiao e aprender 400 palavras em ingles em 1 minuto, do que ficar preocupado/a com a rara excecao... e nao aprender nada.

Regra 1:

Para todas as palavras em PORTUGUES que terminem em "DADE" (como a palavra CIDADE) retira o DADE e coloca em seu lugar "TY" e assim CIDADE passa a ser CITY.
EXEMPLOS:

VELOCIDADE = VELOCITY
SIMPLICIDADE = SIMPLICITY
NATURALIDADE = NATURALITY
CAPACIDADE = CAPACITY

Regra 2:

Para todas as palavras em PORTUGUES que terminem em "ÇÃO" (como a palavra NAÇÃO) retira o ÇÃO e coloca em seu lugar "TION" e assim NAÇÃO passa a ser NATION.
EXEMPLOS:

SIMPLIFICAÇÃO = SIMPLIFICATION
NAÇÃO = NATION
OBSERVAÇÃO = OBSERVATION
NATURALIZAÇÃO = NATURALIZATION
SENSAÇÃO = SENSATION

Regra 3:

Para todas as palavras em PORTUGUES que terminem em "MENTE" e em seu lugar coloca "LLY". Mas quando o radical em português termina em L, como a palavra TOTALMENTE , acrescenta apenas LY). Ve alguns exemplos:
EXEMPLOS:

GENETICAMENTE = GENETICALLY
NATURALMENTE = NATURALLY
ORALMENTE = ORALLY

Regra 4:

Para todas as palavras em PORTUGUES que terminem em "ÊNCIA" (como a palavra ESSÊNCIA) retira o ÊNCIA e coloca em seu lugar "ENCE" e assim ESSÊNCIA passa a ser ESSENCE.
EXEMPLOS:

REVERÊNCIA = REVERENCE
FREQUÊNCIA = FREQUENCE

Regra 5:

Para palavras que terminam com "AL" (como a palavra GENERAL) nao mudes nada.
EXEMPLOS:

NATURAL = NATURAL
TOTAL = TOTAL
FATAL = FATAL
SENSUAL = SENSUAL


Facil e simples.

~ Eternidade ~

Ha quem viva de caridade...
Quem morra em saudade...
Quem viva por amizade...
Quem viva com ansiedade.
Quem goste de humidade,
Quem deteste simplicidade,
Quem escreva com capacidade...
Quem ame velocidade!
Quem aja com naturalidade.
Quem prefira a cidade.
Quem perca identidade...
Quem seja uma raridade.
As flores necessitam luminiosidade,
Os passaros pedem liberdade...
Ha quem peca felicidade.
Eu peco-te a ti, eternidade.

Opah, VIVE!!

Sabes que nao vou seguir a vida sozinha,
A vida eh como uma linha!
Segue em frente;
Numa constante.

Que erro, que medo...
Tudo eh um enredo...
Nao vivas o dia como se fosse o ultimo
Nao dramatizes tanto!

Vive como se fosse o penultimo,
Pois no ultimo seras um santo.
Sim, porque quando a vida esta a acabar...

E que nos lembramos de deus
Exigimos que nos va perdoar
Por nao sermos um dos "seus";

"Determination is the first chapter in the book of excellence!"

Quem me dera...

Quem me dera ser um passaro
E voar ate ao Infinito
E para sempre recordar
O lugar mais bonito.
Quem me dera ser chuva
Para poder percorrer o teu rosto
E saborea-lo como a uma uma
Que eu tanto gosto.
Quem me dera ser o mar
E assim, poder tocar
Nessa pele irresistivel,
Essa personalidade inesquecivel.
Quem me dera ser o perdao
Agarrar a tua mao
E fortemente apertar...
Nos teus olhos poder olhar;
E pedir-te desculpa,
Embora isso nao apague a culpa.

Dedicado a uma croma qualquer!

Mais triste que a tristeza
Eh ser triste, com certeza...
Tentar ter razao
Estragar os outros, reputacao.
Tentativa Falhada.
Obrigada, de nada...
Obrigado por tentares,
De nada por falhares.
Que gaja tolasca
Eh mesmo panasca!
Quando menos esperares
Tungas! Para aprenderes
A comigo nao te meteres.
E cala-te para nao teres mais azares!
Levas nessas fussas de nojenta
Queres bater-me? Anda ca, tenta.

Outro Soneto!

Indecisao, ai indecisao!
Consegues ser tao cruel...
Tento afastar-me; diz o meu coracao:
<>

Finjo que nao ouco...
E o meu coracao eh que nem poco...
Tem fundo!
E la esta tu, no meu mundo.

Deves pensar depressa e falar devagar
Quando queres enganar alguem...
Mas, nisto de amar

Nao ha espaco a essas coisas, nao sou ninguem.
Aos poucos vais perceber...
Que tudo isto eh mero sofrer.
