LOVE, Kloudiia

Pete like to say whatever problems we exhibited as a participant in POE, we will get back the same type of participants when we are a coach.

I think it is evident in my blog now. Whichever type of reader I am, I am getting the same back in more folds - inactive, non interactive and refusing to part with my email to subscribe to the blog on post updates.

“Kloudiia

How to maintain the relationship and keep the sparks?” – Devoted

Dear Devoted

Thanks for your question. I am so glad to receive this from you, because it only means that you are aware that to maintain a relationship and to keep the sparks alive and flying is a knowledge that can be learnt.

Hooray to one more loving soul out there!

These secrets will be precisely what I will be sharing with you in my new book. Since you asked me this through Ask Kloudiia, you will be entitled to a copy of my new ebook when it is out.

No this is not the movie by Keanu Reeves.

For the month of November, I will post a quote on love every day. The kind of love that is raw, unpolished and true. That’s why I am naming this series Love, Unplugged.

From tomorrow onwards, receive love in its plainest form on this love blog.

Hope you like them.

My seventh gift for you – The Gift Of Solitude.

Noise clutters surround us. The TV, radio, mobile phone, office phone, fax machines, external voices debating and internal voices deliberating.

It seems like we don’t really have a moment of true silence for ourselves! “Silence is golden” - I embrace this. Especially when it is a much needed one.

Thomas Merton wrote in “Notes on a Philosophy of Solitude”:

True solitude (as opposed to individualism or “going it alone”) is the cultivation of the sense of the self that permits us to adjudicate the cry of the mob and resist the lure of the moment.

“Kloudiia

I went out with a guy for about 3 ,4 years. And we have been on and off since last year, we now sharing a house with another girl. So we have our own rooms. It had been a pain since we brokeup last year, and the on and off is not easy. But we had been really good in the last couple of months and I thought it was going to be different.

This is more like a confession that I am going to make than a blog. It happened this afternoon.

We knew who they are and where they come from. It had become a norm now to have them around on weekends.

Two guys stopped us, and even as we told them we’re rushing they still persisted and walked along with us. My sister caved in and filled in the form. I didn’t. While waiting for her to finish writing down her details, the other guy asked me to fill in as well. “Just fill in the form will do” he said.

My sixth gift for you – The Gift Of A Favour.

It can be as menial as giving up your seat to an elderly or pregnant lady. It can be an obvious large gesture like donating all the $1,000,000 proceeds of your lottery winnings to charity.

Have you ever done a favour for someone? I’m sure you had. Did you expect a return of the favour to you? If you have then that’s a wrong reason for doing it. Helping someone means unconditionally. You do not expect anything in return nor do you need to let that someone knew you had lent him/her a hand. Only when you do a favour with absolutely no strings attached would you experience true joy in the giving itself.

How to know if the relationship is really over? When is the time to give up, let go and move on? 

If you are lucky, there are obvious signs telling you that it’s pointless to continue mopping over a relationship gone stale. If you aren’t as lucky, then you are probably stuck in a half-hearted, neither here nor there situation where it’s getting harder to still label it as a relationship.

When someone asks this question, I tend to believe that he/she actually knows the answer. The only thing that is stopping them from admitting that is the answer is probably courage. The courage to face the truth and accept that as the truth.

Terry Ng, who already has a fabulous looking one-of-a-kind blog design to show off now pulls off another amazing trick off his sleeve.

No, nothing to do with designing this time. But hey, there’s still some bits of it in this article (you gotta look at those lego-like graphics – they are hilarious!) where he is dishing out some real tips on dating!

I love the way he wrote this article. Truly entertaining, yet realistic enough. Enjoy my dear readers!

My fifth gift for you – The Gift Of A Compliment.

Find something nice to say to someone. Make it a habit in you to tell the person about it. Doing this not only makes that person feel good, it makes you attractive as well.

Yes, what I am saying is this – paying compliments will increase your attraction level.

Receiving compliments with graciousness also makes you attractive too. It works both ways.
