http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2011/01/blenz-red-band/
Blenz Coffee chain in Vancouver is actually giving out some customized red bands to singles, so while they are chilling in their coffee shops, they can possibly pick up someone who is wearing a red band. It is gonna start from Feb 1st to the 28th. Yes, it is a thing for Valentines' Day. Who cares..I think this is actually not a bad idea; it is indeed a very novel one. In that way, people who are still single may get to know someone who they think their apperances are already attractive. It just depends whether you have the guts to really take a step and start talking to your "target". I am not so sure if I was single, I would love to get one of those bands. You never know whether the guy who comes up and talks to you is a creeper or not. But then, I do always like the idea of meeting "the one" in a coffee shop. That's the most random but romantic thing in my opinion.
If you happened to be in Vancouver, would you get a red band at Blenz? Why or why not?
I would def. give it a shot since you never know what would happen. Plus coffee at Blenz is not that bad. If you were going to chill, why not have a coffee and maybe meet someone new? haha. But I am not single...
My boyfriend did comment on this after I told him about it. He suspected that girls would be more benefitted in this kind of events. Then, I told him we would have to check this out or maybe even do a little experiment. | | |
| Sometimes life is just a joke. After a few days that I told my boyfriend that I loved him, and we changed our facebook relationship status, then he told me that after all he thought that sex was a huge part of relationship. If I remember it correctly, before we dated, I did tell him that not to expect I would have any phsyical contact like you had with your ex-girlfriends. I did ask him again and again whether sex meant a lot to him. We discussed this on and off. Last night, he finally told me the truth. As a Christian, I am pretty sure that premarital sex is a no-no. It has indicated on the bible that a couple who has sex will become one flesh, etc. Now he feels like that me wanting to stay as a virgin till marriage may be a warning to him. He wants me to consider whether I really feel like premarital sex is a no. If I feel that way, then we gott break up. He did tell me though he did not expect me to have sex in the near-future or when I am not ready. The reason of why he asked this because he expected us to get married, so he just wanted to make sure we would be sexually compatible. He also asked me that whether God would see this as not good when two persons who love each other who just want to express it through a sexual way. I feel like this is a bomb that dropped on me all of a sudden. I have no idea what I should do. I do love my boyfriend a lot and do not want this to end. At the same time, I know that I should follow the Bible. I am torn between my relgion and my relationship. | | |
| I suddenly realize I do not have as many friends as I have once thought. It is weird. Being a second-year-university student, I should have a group of friends I can actually really hang out with when I am bored. You know how everyone says university is a lot of fun..and you will meet a large amount of people. Yes, I do know a lot of people, but they are not friends. I think there is just one person, well maybe two, who I would love to hang out with in the whole university. Okay. I know it's my fault. I have not joined any clubs because I always find myself have a lot of readings to catch up. I do not really talk to people during class. When class starts, I just want to listen to the prof. It's normal. I do not know.
I just hope that somehow people who have similar interests and personalities as I am will just pop up from nowhere right in front of me, then we can become buddies.
But, obviously, that is not going to happen. The solution is to join clubs, right? But I do not know. I do not usually be the first one to just speak to people, if you know what I meant. I do not really like talking to people sometimes cause I always think that I will make mistakes when I speak. :( I want to have more friends. I do. but I just do not know how.
(side note: I know it's been long since I last updated just cause I am busy with school and boyfriend.)

| A flower that grows in the greenhouse,
enjoying everything that she needs.
Water, Sunshine, Soil; there is nothing to lose.
Looking at other seeds,
the ones that grow outside of the protection,
she feels like she wants some motion;
Motions like fighting against the wind,
talking to the butterflies and bees.
However, there is always a storm.
A storm that is scary.
And worms,
worms that are hairy.
When they come,
there is nothing she can do.
Just be there and suffer.
Wanting to breakthrough,
but frightened by the cruel reality. | | |
| My boyfriend and I have just been through an 1-month anniversary. Although we were continents apart from each other, we still managed to be on skype and had our little celebration! The most important thing was that he remembered. We are going pretty steady right now: an email each day then skype on the weekends. It has been quite amazing after the discussion of us. Just a quick update... I told my boyfriend about how disappointing I was when he asked me to go on a date with my best guy friend. He told me he just wanted me to explore the different option before really making sure he was the one I wanted. I reassured him that he was the one I liked then everything went nicely!
My mother did not know about me dating till a few days ago. My sister decided to do me a favour to tell my mum about it. My mum does not like the fact that he is older than me for 6 years, and that we knew each other online. She is worried because this is my first relationship, and she thinks that he may get advantages of me. I have no idea how to explain to my mum that he respects me, so he is not going to force me to do anything. And I really do like him although we have just known each other for 6-7 months. He makes me a very happy girl.
It gets a bit tricky though when your parents/ siblings do not like your boyfriend. My sister is happy for me if I truly feel that he makes me happy, but she does not think he is right for me. I just do not know what to do. Yes, I have told my boyfriend about it, and he thinks they may need some time to get to know him..so they may change their minds. I just do not know what to do. My mum seems to be against the idea, and yet I haven't even told my dad yet.
Any suggestion? Any experience to be shared? | | |
