Tame Your Thick Hair With These Special Long Layered Hairstyles
Thick hair can look like a cloud if not cut properly. Also, unkempt thick hair tends to fall on your face, which is quite irritating. To tame it, you need the right hairstyles and cuts.

Thick hair can be very tough to manage and maintain. There seems to be very few hairstyles, that actually show through in really dense hair. It probably has something to do with the weight of the hair which sort of messes with usual hairstyles.
On the other hand, thick hair is a blessing to have, because you can be sure that no matter how much you experiment with your haircut, chop it, bleach it, or color it - your hair growth will not be compromised. It will grow back to normal without having to worry about hair fall.
Layered Hairstyles for Women with Thick Hair
Side Swept Bangs
Hairstyles that add layers which start from the top and descend towards the tips, help make the face look sleeker and more chiseled. When bangs are added to these, it allows many women to cover high foreheads so that the other features on the face are given focus. Women can opt for side swept bangs. These bangs can be kept rather long so that it mingles with the rest of the hair or it can be cut short so that it falls over one of the eye. The advantage of this hairstyle is that the side swept fringe looks excellent with other hairstyles as well, such as a simple ponytail, a single French braid, and even with a normal headband. You can combine this hairdo with scarves or bandannas as well. The biggest advantage is that it makes women of all age look younger, and coloring a few strands can add a whole lot to your personality.
Cleopatra Bangs
Women can also go in for the Cleopatra hairstyles combined with layered step cut, which makes the hair cover the entire forehead while the rest of the hair remains long. The hair can be kept pin straight or can be styled to fall in waves or big curls. However, the mandatory rule of this hairstyle is that the forehead section must have pin straight hair covering the area-this is what gives the distinct Egyptian appeal. If you have this hairstyle, make it a point to accentuate the beauty and sharpness of your eyes with makeup. Otherwise, it will make most women look much younger or childish. You have to bring out the edgy attributes that are attached to this haircut. Also, a Cleopatra hairdo is so dynamic that it will completely change the way you used to look. It will bring out a more edgy and sharper you. Add a few highlights to your fringe if you feel the need to be more experimental.
Middle Partition Hairdo
Most women can also try the middle partition, wherein the hair is equally parted from the center of the scalp. You may then add layered steps to your hair. Once again the hair may be left straight or with slight waves. You may even add slight highlights so as to give a new dimension to the entire look. This is a very earthly and natural way of setting the hair. This hairstyle looks best on people with oval and longer facial structures. It also works wonders in helping reduce the chubbiness of the face by partly hiding the cheeks and giving a more chiseled facial structure. However, you must make it a point to ensure that the layers added progress in step cuts and become longer as they descend towards the tips.
Curly Layers
If you are blessed with thick and long curls, you ought to make the most of it! A very rare and beautiful combination, which must be capitalized to the fullest. Let the curls loose and add distinct and visible layers to them. Smaller layers do not show on curly hair and almost always get lost in crowd. If you wish, you may add a very slight shade of highlight to your hair, so as to make the layers more distinct. If you are bored with your curls, you may really thin out the hair from the tips so that there are but a few curls left to reduce the volume of your hair. The biggest problem that women with curly hair experience is that they feel that their hair tends to look a bit too bushy. Therefore, you may crop some excess hair off and get a sleeker hairstyle, if you do not mind taking the risk. You could also try straightening out a few strands of curls in odd places, so that these straight hair blend with the curls and bring out a new and more attractive twist to your appearance.
Feathered Layers
Feathered layered hairstyles are a great 80's hairdo option for women with straight and slightly wavy hair. Get your hair cropped into continuous layers and then get them curled using a blow dryer. This hairstyle looks really edgy as well as subtle, when worn with a mild side fringe. So basically, your hair gets progressively longer as it reaches the tip, and then it flares out. This hairstyle looks great on women who have really thick hair, because the thicker the hair, the denser the feathers appear. It also takes away the monotony of wearing straight hair all the time. The days you wish to have rather normal hair, you simply have to let them air dry, while on feathery days, use a roller brush and blow dry. As simple as that.
Fringy Waves
This hairstyle is a classy combination of wavy to curly hair along with a straight forehead fringe. The fringy waves are perfect for every occasion and add a lot of feminine appeal to ones personality. You may fearlessly highlight your hair if you feel the need, or simply let the waves and the bangs blend into each other. If you have long hair but thinner hair on the crown, remember to get extra and rather short layers so as to give a fuller look to the hairstyle. You need not always have to straighten out your fringe and may sometimes allow them to be slightly wavy. You can straighten out the hair tips and leave some wavy chunks of hair in a few places. This will give more volume to your hair every time you feel the need.
Puffy Layer
If you have really long hair and a whole lot of it and are really fond of olden hairstyles, then the puffy layers are the perfect choice for you! You may add all the layers you wish at the tip of your hair, while ensuring that the hair on top remains long. This hair will be used for creating a bun, puff, or even the beehive hairdo. The hair at the tips are layered and let loose, while the hair on top creates the puff. The puff needs to be made of straight hair as wavy or curly hair does not work for this style. Nonetheless the tips can be kept in waves or even dense curls, much like the Victorian era hairstyles. Secondly, a must have for this hairstyle is a hair setting spray as it helps to keep the puff intact.
Hairstyles for Men with Thick Hair
Grunge Emo Hairstyles
If you are young and rebellious, try Emo colors such as sea green, deep metallic purple, electric blue, silver white, or velvet plum or red. There are innumerable options available in the color palette department when it comes to edgy hairstyles. Men can go in for long layered hairstyles, where they can keep random and prominent hair strands very long and certain others comparatively short. Thereafter, they can add hair color to either the short strands or to the bangs or only to the longer hair strands. There are innumerable varieties of emo hairstyles available for men-you may choose whichever you like best or you could get yours custom designed by your hairstylist. You have the complete freedom to opt for the color of your choice and need not always go in for the ones which we see so commonly these days. Being an emo means, that you get to do what you like the way you like it. So go ahead and do just that and flaunt your own style.
Swept Wavy Bangs
Men can get side bangs and choose to cut their hair short from the nape. Or, they can keep it as long as the shoulders or more, where the hair falls in steps. You need not have straight hair so as to try this hairdo. Guys with mild wavy hair and even super curly hair, can safely give this a go ahead. Either you keep the hair short or cropped at the nape or you let them stay long. This too looks great on guys who have a slightly thinner physique as it makes their face look fuller. You may seem like the guy next door, but you will look like a much cooler one. This style is not too over the top and suits men who do not wish to go overboard trying to emulate the ever-changing trends. Get a hairstyle that you are the most comfortable and confident in because at the end of the day, how you appear will depend a lot on how you feel about yourself.
Layered Messy Hairdo
There isn't much you need to do when it comes to looking after this hairstyle. All you need is to get your hair cropped in a way that the hair on top is longer, and is shorter at the nape and temples. After which you will need to use some hair gel to set your hair in a messy hairdo. That's it! This hairstyle has the 'GREASE' and the 'T-BIRDS' effect, which to this date remains a hot favorite among guys. This is a really convenient hairstyle as it gives you the 'just walked out of bed' look, while ensuring that you look rugged and trendy. It has that carefree appeal, which makes you seem like an easygoing guy with whom people can get along well. Basically, it makes you seem amiable. That will definitely works in your favor.
Feathered Layers
This hairstyle can be tried by guys who have either straight or ever so slight wavy hair. Get a messy full forehead bang and then casually slide them to one side. Let the hair be slightly longish so that the hair can curl outwards into feathered layers. The hair on the nape of the neck will need to be kept long as well. This hairdo has an ever so slightly windblown effect that looks great during summers and spring time. It also has its own carefree attitude, which makes it a suitable option for teenagers and younger men. It's a hairstyle you would find a surfer, or a biker, or a skateboarder wearing and looking completely relaxed. So if you're in the mood for a vacation, go get yourself this chilled out haircut.
Spiked Layers
This is another really edgy hairdo for men with pin straight hair. Dealing with absolutely straight hair is a very dull job and can get tediously boring. Fortunately, there is a lot that can be done to make straight hair look edgy by making spikes out of them. A good hair gel is all you need in order to try this hairdo. Secondly, there are a variety of spiked hairstyles that you can experiment with each passing day. Adding a few razor cuts on the temple can give great personality to your haircut.
Whatever may be the case, long hair is a rarity these days. Not many can handle the efforts that go into looking after it. Women with long hair have this innate mystique about them with it adding to their feminine charms.
I hope you now have a clearer idea about the sort of hairstyle that you desire. Though it would be better if you discuss the styling you want with your hairstylist. They may be able to recommend certain improvements that will suit your facial structure.

Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is the capital and the largest city of Portugal, with a population of 552,700 within its administrative limits in an area of 100.05 km². Its urban area extends beyond the city's administrative limits with a population of around 2.7 million people, being the 11th-most populous urban area in the European Union. About 2.8 million people live in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (which represents approximately 27% of the country's population). It is continental Europe's westernmost capital city and the only one along the Atlantic coast. Lisbon lies in the western Iberian Peninsula on the Atlantic Ocean and the River Tagus. The westernmost areas of its metro area is the westernmost point of Continental Europe.
Lisbon is recognised as a global city because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism. It is one of the major economic centres on the continent, with a growing financial sector and one of the largest container ports on Europe's Atlantic coast. Humberto Delgado Airport serves over 20 million passengers annually, as of 2015, and the motorway network and the high-speed rail system of Alfa Pendular link the main cities of Portugal. The city is the 7th-most-visited city in Southern Europe, after Istanbul, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Athens and Milan, with 1,740,000 tourists in 2009. The city occupies 32nd place of highest gross earnings in the world. Most of the headquarters of multinationals in the country are located in the Lisbon area. It is also the political centre of the country, as its seat of Government and residence of the Head of State.
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, and the oldest in Western Europe, predating other modern European capitals such as London, Paris and Rome by centuries. Julius Caesar made it a municipium called Felicitas Julia, adding to the name Olissipo. Ruled by a series of Germanic tribes from the 5th century, it was captured by the Moors in the 8th century. In 1147, the Crusaders under Afonso Henriques reconquered the city and since then it has been a major political, economic and cultural centre of Portugal. Unlike most capital cities, Lisbon's status as the capital of Portugal has never been granted or confirmed officially – by statute or in written form. Its position as the capital has formed through constitutional convention, making its position as de facto capital a part of the Constitution of Portugal.
Practical Information
Getting around the city
Public transport in Lisbon is inexpensive and useful for negotiating the hills between attractions. The fastest way to get around is by metro, which covers most of the city, and complementing this is a network of trams, buses, funiculars and a vertical elevator to connect the high and low areas of Lisbon. There is also a modern electric train that links the city to all the towns along the Portuguese Riviera, and ferries across the Tagus River. Trams and buses are very inexpensive and the old trams have become a big tourist attraction. It is best to avoid public transport during rush hours, as the crowded conditions are the perfect cover for pick pockets. Metered taxis are plentiful and affordable, and a popular means of transportation, but beware of drivers taking long, indirect routes. A car is not recommended for use around the city.
GMT (GMT +1 between the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October).
Electrical current is 230 volts, 50Hz. Round two-pin plugs are used.
Emergency number
Emergencies: 112
The international access code for Portugal is +351. The country is well covered by local GSM mobile phone networks, with roaming agreements in place with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in most towns and resorts.
The official currency is the Euro (EUR), which is divided into 100 cents. There are numerous banks, bureaux de change and ATMs available in main cities and tourist destinations. Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and automatic currency exchange machines. Banking hours are generally 8.30am to 3pm Monday to Friday. Major credit cards are widely accepted.
Lisbon has a warm climate with sunny spring and summer days (June to August), when average temperatures frequently reach 82ºF (28ºC). Winters (December to February) are wet and windy, with average temperatures dropping to 46ºF (8ºC) lows. The best time to visit Lisbon is in the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to October), because the weather is warm, hotels are cheaper, and the crowds are smaller than in the summer peak season.

Nineteen Years after Accident, Brownsville Man with Brain Injury Walks Again Using Robotic Exoskeleton
Gary and Mary Seelye of Brownsville, Pennsylvania, know that life can forever change in an instant.
In 1997, Mary and son, Nathan, then 14, were on their way to school when another driver ran a stop sign, crashing into their vehicle. Nathan, an eighth grader at the time, was ejected from the car and suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). He was life flighted to Presbyterian (now UPMC) Hospital in Pittsburgh and spent approximately two weeks in intensive care and three weeks in an inpatient step-down program. For much of that time, he was in a medically-induced coma to reduce brain swelling.
When Nathan was discharged, he was transferred to a local facility to begin rehabilitation. Nathan, who excelled at basketball and academics and was president of his school's Jr. National Honor Society, was unable to respond, eat or walk. What had once been simple tasks were now major undertakings.
Equally hard was the impact the accident had on his siblings, Joel, Joshua and Bethany, and his many friends. Over time, with few exceptions, the once-numerous visits from friends dwindled. Gary and Mary empathize, adding that it is hard to understand the impact of a TBI unless you have witnessed the profound changes it can cause.
"We initially expected Nathan to bounce back to his former self and pick up where he left off," says Gary. "Nathan was a really bright, outgoing kid. His body was recovering, but with the support of family and friends, we slowly had to accept that the person we knew was gone."
After nine months of inpatient rehabilitation, Nathan progressed enough that he could return home. He could communicate but was in a wheelchair and had a feeding tube to ensure proper nutrition.
While life had changed, it also had to go on. One of the first priorities was to ensure that Nathan continued his education. The Seelyes believed, as did Nathan's physiatrist, Richard S. Kaplan, M.D., of Uniontown, that mental stimulation was crucial to his recovery and insisted he attend high school.
After graduation, coincidentally with his younger brother Joshua, Nathan worked for friends who owned a restaurant, cleaning tables. It gave him a sense of purpose, according to the Seelyes. After the restaurant was sold, Mary and Gary attempted to find other employment opportunities for Nathan, without success. These days, Gary and Mary try to keep their son mentally stimulated with trips to the mall, the park or the YMCA, as well as physical therapy and (of course) watching every Steelers' game.
Last summer, while visiting Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Nathan's doctor was introduced to the Ekso bionic exoskeleton, a bionic walking device that helps spinal cord injury patients learn to walk again. Good Shepherd, the largest clinical Ekso user in the world, and Dr. Kaplan felt that the Ekso could help Nathan.
Like most things parents do for their children, the decision to bring Nathan to Good Shepherd for therapy every week is a labor of love. Gary started making the five-hour drive from Western Pennsylvania to Allentown for Nathan's weekly Ekso therapy in May 2015.
Without a doubt, say Gary and Mary, the travel has been worth it to see the progress Nathan is making. During his first time in the Ekso, Nathan walked 101 steps. Every week, the father and son joke about how far Nathan will walk that day. He recently walked his personal best of 685 steps.
Gary says that the therapy is making it easier for Nathan to get around at home. Everyday tasks, like getting in and out of the shower, are easier because Nathan can better balance himself.
"It's hard to describe the emotion everyone feels when a patient walks again for the first time," says Nathan's physical therapist, Nicole Yenser, PT, NCS. "Eighteen years had passed since Nathan's accident, so walking is an incredible accomplishment."
Nathan also participates in Good Shepherd's Vision Rehabilitation Program. Andrea Nichols, MS, OTR/L, occupational therapist, developed treatment to help Nathan overcome the left-sided vision deficit he still struggles with. Therapy is enabling him to read whole words and not miss the left side of words.
For the Seelyes, it is clear that the time Nathan spends at Good Shepherd is more than just a weekly rehabilitation session. After so many years, it is about never losing hope and never giving up. It is about quality of life and independence. It is about doing all you can do to give your child every opportunity to succeed. And that is the best therapy of all.

The Nun, starring Taissa Farmiga (The Final Girls), Bonnie Aarons (The Conjuring 2) and Demián Bichir (Alien: Covenant) surpassed The Conjuring's worldwide opening box office of just under $42 million domestically, one that was considered a very successful opening weekend for a horror film even just 5 years ago. The Nun opened to an additional international $77.5 million, totaling a little less than $131 million, reigning as Mother Superior over all of The Conjuring weekend opening releases.
James Wan' s The Conjuring ushered in a new era of horror, reviving the themes of haunted houses and possession. The latest installment of the film series, The Nun, underwhelmed audiences, but had no trouble moving the masses to the theater . The opening weekend numbers are nothing short of a horror film miracle.
Usually I'll wait a week or two before seeing a Wan film of any sorts at the theater in hopes of dodging the crowd and noisy teens. My initial viewing of The Conjuring was soiled from the aforementioned devils and I haven't had the virtue of tolerance since. I saw The Nun Saturday night (again, in hopes of weeding out some of the regular Friday crowd) and much to my disdain, the theater was packed. However, when the eerie opening credits rolled the theater was silent and remained silent throughout. Apparently, football season is not as important in the south as I thought it to be. Wan's terrifying saga was in no need of a Hail Mary, but got an extreme running pass up the field. When it comes to numbers, the scoreboard doesn't lie.
Remember, dear readers, this is a spin-off. A spin-off that made more money than its heavyweight successor in a genre that can be as finicky as the Catholic Church itself. Colin Hardy's (The Hallow) The Nun passing The Conjuring as far as money made in a weekend seems just as blasphemous. Now, there are some semantics at work here. In 2013 when The Conjuring was released there wasn't nearly as much marketing done, it wasn't released in nearly as many theaters as The Nun is (2,903 versus 3,876 theaters), nor was horror as popular among the masses as it is.
We are currently experiencing a horror renaissance where ticket sales are at an all-time high. More ticket sales means more products made available (think of all the cool shit we can buy now that we couldn't buy 10 years ago!), more conventions to attend, more platforms to stream from, a larger community to celebrate our interests, and more importantly, more movies to be made.
The Nun has its flaws, but you can't deny its oddly divine power here. Though it thankfully appears to be wrapping up The Warrens' series, it has left a truly remarkable lasting effect. Wan's scares and techniques remain to be an omniscient presence in a majority of haunting films released in the past few years and what I'm sure are still to come. While we can hate it at times, like life's little inconveniences, we should praise it for what it is: a gift to us longtime horror aficionados.
Though we love to hate on the Waniverse as it's progressed, by the number of films and the numbers in profit, all horror fans should be worshiping at its feet. The box office sure is. Say a prayer this genre steadily flourishes as it has been, and content continues to improve, while more and more followers join our spooky congregation. I have all the faith in the world that it will.
What did you think of this unorthodox installment? Confess your wicked thoughts on The Nun to us over on Twitter or on our Horror Movie Fiends Club Facebook page! We promise to forgive you.

Wow! Can you believe that 2007 is almost gone? It seems the older I get the faster time swooshes by me. (My kids would have a wise crack there about my age!)
As everyone is setting their thoughts towards New Year's resolutions, I want to put my two cents worth in on the subject.
Each year I have one goal that remains the same: Read the Bible in the year. That doesn't mean I always do it, but it is my goal!
If you haven't done so yet, I would like to redirect you, at this point, to my husband's blog entries for December 11, 12, and 13 on the Power of the Word of God. www.PastorRustysBlog.blogspot.com . Then I want you to consider making it a goal of yours to read through the entire Bible in 2008.
My question for each of us is this:
If every professing Christian in our nation would read the entire Word of God in 2008 what changes would take place in our lives, in our churches, in our communities, in our nation!?
Well, it starts with one. I want to be a change agent for the Kingdom of God. I want God to be able to use me more than He ever has before. I want to take the challenge of reading through the entire Bible again in 2008. Will you take it with me?
Being the "on-line" Bible study that we are, I have a resource to make it even easier for you to read through the Bible this year. (Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!) Just follow these simple steps and your daily reading passage will be emailed to you each day of the year!
1) Log on to www.studylight.org
2) Scroll down to the left hand side of the screen to the tab "Study Resources".
3) Find the one that says "Daily Reading Plan" and click.
4) To the right of that day's date there are small letters that read "Bible in a Year" by email. Click that.
5) The Bible in a Year tab is BIAY. Log in your email address and select your translation! You will need to verify with your first email to continue to receiving your scriptures. Also, add the incoming email to you address book so that your mail server will not spam it.
Is that not awesome?! I have been receiving my daily scripture reading via email for over a month now. I love it because if I don't read it, it is still sitting there in my inbox reminding me..... "You haven't read the Word yet....!"
If you skimmed through this post, please remember to go back and read Pastor Rusty's blogs for the 11th, 12th, and 13th of December. I pray it challenges you as never before to read and pray God's Word!
I wish you all a Happy New Year! May your Year bring you closer to the Savior than ever before!
May you continually:
Seek His Face- pursue and intimate relationship with the Savior
Know His Truth - gain ultimate reality about His Kingdom
Love His Word - desire passionate revelation of His Nature - and
Live His Will - daily submit to His plan and His way for your life.
Love you all!

Today, fashion is probably one of the great interests of the youth and a huge number of serious dressers no matter the age. It is somehow an obsessive hobby to some or something that shows their status in society or it can be a way to channel their own personality.
The internet is filled with all the information and looks you may need or want. There are thousands of videos uploaded under the category of fashion and hundreds of blogs that's dedicated to fashion as well. For a lot of people who are serious about their looks and would like to show the whole world, there are look-book websites where they can upload their photos with them wearing their own created style.
There are also fashion street style blogs that is managed by one person or a few who goes around the streets of a city or town, taking pictures of the people walking around.
There is a huge gap between the two despite being under the same category, dressing up in fashionable styles.
Street Style is more on what real people are wearing in the day or night while look books online sometimes just show pictures of people who wanted to take photos of themselves wearing something extravagant or too dramatic that they can't walk out of the house in it.
When it comes to taking photographs, look books online tend to angle the shots so as to make the subject or model look as though he or she is a snob and the people seldom smiles while on the other hand street style blogs offer photographs that are simple and taken to make the subjects look flattering in their clothes and no tricky angles included whatsoever.
Blogs about street style are more realistic as these people who manage their blogs simply go to the parks and take a shot of someone who sports their home-brewed style. Look books as they say are more on the narcissistic side of the wearer as they take photos of themselves and upload it themselves online.
Street style bloggers choose who they want to take photos of and feature on their blog, it is often unsuspected of the subject.
These blogs today can be found by the hundreds and there are a lot of photos to be found by real people wearing real styles on the streets. It inspires a lot of fashion enthusiasts around the globe by simply looking at what others are wearing outside.

Our time with the San Diego Symphony, once again, was phenomenal. Apart from being huge fans of the Harry Potter series, we have grown to absolutely love attending these symphony performances. It's always an incredible experience to listen to the orchestra and be completely captivated by the music.
Although we did not dress up in the Harry Potter class colors, there were a few attendees who did, and it was so fun to see! During the performance, it seemed that the audience was so engaged with the music and film that was being played simultaneously.
We truly want each and every one of you to experience this for yourself, it's definitely worth it!! There are performances that go on throughout the entire year of all genres, so there is sure to be something that you'll love!


text: I LOVED photographing this little guy. Is he not the cutest? For someone who was just at the start of walking when we took these, he sure gave me an extremely good workout! He is fast- and did I mention adorable? I had such a great time photographing Benjamin and his mom, thank you for letting me spend some time with you guys! Here are some of my favorite photos from their family session.

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has booted out the Sangguniang Kabataan chairman of Barangay Indahag, this city, after it was established that he was overaged when he ran for the position.
Lawyer Ramil Acol, city elections registrar, said Agustine Laron of Indahag was ordered removed from his present position.
Reads part of the resolution: "The respondent's certificate of candidacy for SK chairman of Barangay Indahag is hereby cancelled. The votes cast in his favor is (sic) considered stray."
The document was signed by Maria Rowena Guanzon, Marlon Casquejo, and presiding Commissioner Al Pareño of the Comelec 1st Division.
Acol said the commission ordered the barangay's board of canvassers to reconvine and change the certificate of votes and proclamation.
The board was also ordered to declare the candidate who got the highest number of votes to be the winner in the May 2018 barangay and SK elections.
Acol said the resolution would be passed to the Comelec's law department for further proceedings or to see whether what other cases can be filed against Laron. Acol however said Laron could still appeal his case.
The Comelec office here had suspended the proclamation of 14 winning SK candidates in the city due to questions about their ages.

Located in Galicia in the northwest of Spain, Santiago de Compostela is one of Europe's most beautiful cities. Its combination of old streets, traditional tavernas and modern, cosmopolitan bars make it a fantastic place to spend time with friends and ir de tapas. Drinks often come with free snacks, making it not only atmospheric but perfect for the budget-conscious jetsetter.
Restaurante San Jaime – Make this your first stop in Santiago. A favourite amongst locals and tourists, this bar is reasonably priced and authentically decorated. Expect Ensaladilla, Tortilla or Croquetas with your drinks and if you desire a little more, you'd be crazy not to order their Chorizo al Vino! Rúa da Raiña, 4
Casa Pepe – Amazing wine with a fantastic selection of meats and cheeses on little pieces of bread, Casa Pepe may be a little more difficult to find, but really is a tucked-away gem. Cantón de San Bieito, 5
Café Bar Tokio – Often overlooked by tourist guides and websites, Café Bar Tokyo is the place to choose on the strip facing Parque da Alameda for the best tapas, in both quantity and quality and without the marked-up drink prices. Avenida Figueroa, 7
El Gato Negro – Simplicity in every sense of the word. If you are looking for fine dining, then El Gato Negro may not be your cup of tea, but if you want good, local food at much lower than reasonable prices and homemade wine, then this is the place for you! Order lots and mop up all of the divine sauces with fresh bread. Rúa da Raiña
Trafalgar – Make sure you hotfoot it over to Bar Trafalgar for their Tigres Rabiosos. These locally-sourced mussels in a spicy sauce will set your tastebuds on fire! Every customer usually receives one with a drink. Stand at the bar, if you can find a space! Rúa da Raiña
Ambitus Veter – At just 1€ for a glass of wine, you can't really go wrong in this spacious, modern bar. The amount of tapas that you receive is a little ridiculous and you get even more when you order another drink! Keep an eye on football times however, as the place is absolutely packed when there's a game on. Aller Ulloa, 3
Senra – For an amazing selection of tapas and a great menu to boot, Senra is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of Albariño. Just make sure you can get a seat, as this place is a genuine hotspot for locals! Rúa da Senra
Restaurante Marte – Sit and enjoy the sunshine outside this traditional bar. If you arrive at the right time, you will be greeted with a lovely little plate of tortilla, croquetas or even a mini-paella! The terrace is a gorgeous suntrap, so top up on suncream before you relax! Avenida de Rodrigo de Padron, 11
Agarimo – The name means 'darling' in Galician and they certainly do cherish their customers. With a glass of the local Ribeiro or a caña, expect a mini spaghetti bolognese, pizza, sandwich or even a mini chorizo and chips! On a good night, you may even receive amazing tapitas, open sandwiches with a whole host of scrumptious toppings! Do not be put off by the sheer amount of people at the bar, fight your way to the back where you'll find a few tables and a lovely atmosphere. Praza de Cervantes / Rúa do Preguntorio 2
San Clemente – Renowned amongst students for their almost meal-size portions of tapas, San Clemente is the place to go if you are looking to sample some mussels and olives whilst sipping a glass of wine. The menu is a little pricey, but the tapas are enough to fill you up over a couple of drinks! Rúa do San Clemente, 6

Tutorials. You might be wondering what that even means – I know I had no clue when I started university. When I did begin them I found them to be a source of high stress. Sleepless nights ensued – and not from late-night partying. But, they don't have to be so daunting, and if done […]

How to take notes effectively
Posted by Arjun in Law on October 11, 2017

School and University, what's the difference? – Part 1
Posted by Georgina in Law on November 21, 2015
One of the most obvious differences you'll notice when you start University is the contrast between the way in which you are taught at school and the way in which you are taught at University. For one thing, at University you are not taught in lesson format from 9-3:30 every day. As an example I […]

It seems game developers took it quite literally when they said 'love knows no boundaries', and so while some of these dating sims are on the weird but interesting spectrum, there are some that are just borderline creepy. You're the only human in a world of birds (very fun), and you must navigate through schoolgirl quandaries in the prestigious St.
With its concentration of boutiques, restaurants, antique shops and theaters, it is a major draw for all who live in Alexandria as well for visitors. The historic center of Alexandria is known as "Old Town". In 2005, the United States Patent and Trademark Office moved to Alexandria.A large portion of adjacent Fairfax County mostly south, but also west of the city is named "Alexandria," but it is under the jurisdiction of Fairfax County and separate from the city; the city is sometimes referred to as the City of Alexandria to avoid confusion (see the "Neighborhoods" paragraph below).Parliament updated the law in 14, with the latter version, the Statute of Artificers, still being in effect when the English founded Jamestown.Between 15, England's population more than doubled, from 2.3 million to 4.8 million, and Parliament hoped its 1563 statute might "banishe Idleness[,] advance Husbandrye," and so deal with the near-overwhelming number of poor and unemployed citizens.It's a big world and the Senior People community wants to help you connect with singles in your area.Whether you are seeking just a date, a pen pal, a casual or a serious relationship, you can meet singles in Fairfax today!
Few places can recreate a setting for the period of the American Revolution as well as Williamsburg, where the original 18th-century buildings are either still standing or have been faithfully reproduced on their original foundations.
We are committed to helping Fairfax singles discover love every day by narrowing the field from thousands of singles to a select group of compatible matches.
Start here and get there by taking the e Harmony Personality Profile to see how you relate to other Fairfax singles.
But it's not just history that brings tourists here.
The state's natural wonders include Luray Caverns, Natural Bridge, the barrier islands of Chincoteague and Assateague, and Shenandoah National Park.
Contracts generally lasted a year, after which terms were renegotiated.

To conclude all the ideas that you will find in the following lines, we tell you the answer from the start: because it is pure fun. Bringing a sport that needs a great surface inside a house and keeping it close to reality in the same time definitely is a great achievement of modern technology.
In case you may wonder about the usefulness of an indoor golf simulator, think of the ones that live in an area with a climate that does not allow maintaining a golf course in the best conditions all year long. The ones that are passionate with golf would have to travel hundreds of miles not only for matches but also for training. This leads us to the biggest advantage of a golf simulator: the opportunity to practice whenever you want without going outside your house, without pressure and with the possibility of simulating various courses and conditions. Advance golf simulators offer an extremely high degree of realism so they can be successfully used for improving your game. Studying different shots, different club heads and different strokes and making a comparison is now extremely easy. Most golf simulators come with dedicated software that are going to display all the parameters of the shot, making it easy to see where you have gone wrong and where you can improve.

Carter Distributed Supervision in a Managed Learning Environment
Carter, D. (2005). Distributed practicum supervision in a managed learning environment (MLE). Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 11(5), pp. 481-497.
Summary: This study reports on a two year project in Western Australia where university tutor-supervisors used a managed learning environment (MLE) to supervise graduate students as teachers in a remote Australian town. The graduate students as teachers were being certified to teach high school. They used the MLE system to support the graduate students as teachers and their cooperating teachers because being face-to-face was not logistically possible. They investigated how this MLE system could offer support.
Key Words: technology, remote supervision, supervisory relationships, supervision as support
Conceptual Framework:
Harrington & Hathaway (1994) Critical self-reflection
Cross sectional, evaluation-research design
Logs, diaries, semi-structured interviews, unstructured observations
Seven graduate students as teachers (comparable to MAT students – those who have degrees elsewhere but need to be certified to teach, so they earn both their masters degree and their teaching certificate)
Three university tutor-supervisors
The students cooperating teachers
Intervention Description:
They used a course management system (MLE) to offer support as supervision to students and their cooperating teachers in a remote Australian town.
- "Social adaptations to the transfer of new information management technology
- Information-based practice as an aspect of reflective practice
- Supervision as a highly interactive process, involving continuity in professional discourse for thinking and acting, referenced in turn to shared information leading to evidence-based practice (p. 488)"
Key Passages:
- "The data from this study support the qualified view that web-enabled, new information management technologies can substantially assist in improving both the effectiveness of practicum supervision and the quality of an emerging self-critical awareness on the part of student teachers, and their supervisors as supervisors too, although this was somewhat more muted in the case of all the cooperating teachers in the urban school setting (p. 492.)"
- Technology can foster collegially-based relationships.

I'm Better than I've Ever Been. Can you say the same?
Christmas has just zoomed passed us and in a few more days 2010 will be bidding us farewell. Who would have thought time can move so quickly when you are having this much fun. To be honest, I still find myself at times pinching myself to make sure I'm not caught in a dream or lost in some food-induced ecstatic vision. The number of things that I had accomplished in this year alone are quite overwhelming, to be honest. It was almost as if I had been stagnating for so long and had never really noticed it.
|Merry Christmas from us!
|Life is like Inception.
Let's face it: Life can be challenging enough as it is. From academic to economic expectations, dealing with the pressures of school and work are already a lot for some people. Add to that the pressures from siblings, friends, and parents who all (well, at least the real ones) really just want was is best for you. Then finally, add the delicate act of sharing and yet respecting boundaries that is necessary for a relationship to remain healthy and not dip into either obsession or abuse. Life is pretty challenging enough as it is.
Add to that the discrimination from both others and one's peers for being gay.
And for being a geek.
|Trust me, you guys have it easier :-P
But in many ways, this never-ending challenge of embracing one's true self, and celebrating it with the world, is what makes life worth living. It is only when one is able to say, "Hey, look! This is me and I love being me!" can one start to honestly consider finding that special someone else whom one can share one's life with. Cause one has to be very careful out there. There are a lot of predators, users, and abusers out there who would not really feel any moral obligation to care about how easily they manipulate your naïveté to their advantage. A large part of knowing how to avoid such people is to learn to trust yourself first and to love yourself for who you are. Once you do, the adage like-attracts-like easily comes into play and before you know it, you will find someone who "gets" you as much as you "get" him too.
|Really. No. Don't go there.
|Year of the Rabbit is coming up!
*Thanks to my partner Rocky for some of the pictures!

Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation. It is better be alone than in bad company.

Geekwood: Tom Strong
While Tom Strong might not be as popular as Superman or Spider-man, his approach to defeating his villains is always an entertaining read. The comics show him doing everything from talking down an otherworldly digital construct to trading another planet for the salvation of the Earth. Each issue an interesting read by itself! But even more fun are the cast of characters that join him in his exploits, from his wife Dhalua, to his daughter Tesla, his gorilla companion King Solomon, and his loyal servant Pneuman.
There was even an issue where the explore a future version of Tom Strong, and yes, age has done little to bring down this man's hotness. Even if his hair had grown white, his body remains at the peak of delicious fitness and his fuzziness even more so.
And of course, what comic that embraces the pulp era would fail to have its own share of bondage moments? There also are issues where our good yummy Tom finds himself fighting against tentacle-like horrors or struggling against bukake-esque monstrosities.. but I think I best leave that for you readers to find the issues and experience the visuals on your won.
But definitely, this married man is off limits save for us adoring his heroic exploits. I mean, let's be frank here, he already has a daughter. Superman only accomplished that when an openly gay director was given the rights to handle his development. Yep, we gay guys are needed to remind them breeders to breed at times.
So with all that, Tom Strong wins a place in this blog's Geekwood entries. Admitted, he might not be the chunky bulk most bears are, nor the much more hirsute forest grizzlies can get, his massive guns, and even larger intelligence easy shoo him into the world of comic hunks that deserve to be noticed.
Check out Tom Strong when you can! With 36 issues out there with each one absolutely worth reading, I highly recommend you head for your nearest bookstore or comic shop and treat yourself to a four-color experience that tickles both your brain and your... other bone.
Take home your own Tom Strong now!
Or sleep soundly with original Tom Strong artwork on your walls!

I thought you guys were braver than this
The Philippines recently had its annual Gay Pride March and much to my dismay, I was not able to take part in it this year. My partner and I had been looking forward to taking part in it for months after experiencing the excitement and pride of being part of something meaningful last year. Unfortunately, my parents decided that the same weekend was to be a good weekend to fly to Singapore to celebrate my sister's birthday. So like a good recently outed gay son, I decided to do my share in being part of the family and joined them for the trip.
|Last year with my other friends.
I remember how excited I was last year to join the Pride March. I wasn't out to my family. While most of my co-workers and friends knew I wasn't walking the "straight" path, few neighbors or family friends were aware of my preferences. But I admired the courage of those who had been part of the march year after year and realized in many ways it was more than just a chance to show off one's gayest costume (like some do). In fact, those who showed off their gayest costumes were simply doing something I was, back then, afraid to do: Just be myself and have fun.
|My partner and me in our matching black Trek shirts
And experienced very quickly all the hate and bigotry that certain members of society had for me.
They were at the corners, with their banners and placards condemning us for being who we were. Calling us vile things. Speaking into their loudspeakers cruel and wicked words. They used the Lord's name in vain. They used the Bible as a personal weapon. And they said WE were the one's who had lost our way.
|So much hate from people claiming to love God.
Some of our friends retaliated.
They made their own posters. They chanted their own slogans. They yelled back. Or sang. Or threw jokes back. Insults too. But all they did was encourage the hate even more. Fan the flames stronger. Fed the evil that called itself good.
I felt it was a sad reminder of how people still believed we were best invisible.
Or non-existent.
And even worse was when I heard from people I consider my friends the similar themes of hate.
One facebook friend wrote about the Pride March not representing him since it merely showcased freaks. Another proudly shared how he was invited to the March but felt it was all just politics. Was that really how bad it get's here in the Philippines? That the discrimination ran so deep, rather than take part to BE represented, we would rather insult and demean those who clearly showed a courage superior to our own? That we would dismiss the march as merely something political, when in fact, it WAS political for the right reasons. It was political because we deserve to be acknowledged. We deserve to be recognized. We deserve to be accepted. We aren't even seen as mere equals. It wasn't a call for special treatment. It was a call to be identified as real. Damn right it was political!
|Yes, it felt so much like this.
There I was, stick in Singapore, wishing I could be part of it, and here were friends of mine so content with their own personal concerns that the idea of being part of something bigger felt... unimportant.
It was insulting. It was depressing.
It nearly drove me to disassociate myself with them.
Who needs friends who don't see the point in seeing you to the very least as equals.
More so when they themselves were gay.
Of course, when it comes to the "other" annual big gay event, the so-called White Party attendance shoots up and celebrations are explosively present. When it comes to bathhouses and models strutting around in badly designed underwear, you have throes of gay men screaming their tonsils out. Clearly sex sells.
|2010 March Route. How I wish I was here!
Things need to change.
And we need to do our part.
The March to the very least shows we are not afraid.
So I challenge you gay guys out there in Manila. Stop being content with hiding. Stop thinking you aren't part of something bigger. Take that step. Join the March.
Make a difference.
Be represented by being there to represent yourself.
We can fill the world with rainbows.
We can help make it a better place.
thanks to my partner Rocky for most of the pictures of last year's Pride March.
I promise, 2011, I will do all I can to be with you when we attend it.

My Piss Story
|Extra Joss + water in a used water bottle
|The corner
|Re-enactment: Clearly I did not look this amused when it happened.
|I guess I WAS holding it this way too.
|Disclaimer: Not me. If it was, I'd need a bigger bottle with a wider mouth.
I still can only wonder why they even thought I would go drink my own pee in the first place.
|They make a rainbow... where did you think them NIPS came from?

Are you REALLY worth it?
An interesting question was raised to me earlier while I was at my favorite haunt regarding relationships. I showed up to hang with my friends when out of the blue, someone who I have only begun to know as a friend threw me an interesting query:
It seemed like a strange thing to ask, given we were at O bar enjoying our drinks while dancing to Kylie, Duffy and other wonderful singers. The mood, though muddled a bit by a pair of horrendous monkeys who were practically dry humping on the stage, was far from serious and the drinks were still in their infancy. I considered the fact that it may have been a question that had been nagging the said person's mind and he may have opted to ask me for my opinion given he knew me to be both old and much more introspective about things.
I repeated the question aloud and thought about it for a moment. After all, the question had much more weight than one would expect. Is a person's "worth", for example, something that another person has the right to determine? Would factors such as occupation, personal wealth, good breeding, eloquence of speech and courage to come out be valid standards to forge the proper measure of a gay man? Would judging another based on such color one as being materialistic? Or a bigot? Or even elitist?
|We've all found ourselves at one point or another questioning our
own self-worth because of how another abused our trust and love.
Take for instance a couple where one is a wealthy, well-connected man of high profile status. The man may be raking in thousands per week, driving the best car money can buy, and practically be a celebrity in his field of practice. Some (and most of the time these would be parents or titos and titas) would say such a person is a great catch! That someone who is that successful is worth it, no matter how he is as a person. For some, such a person can even be a habitual liar who sleeps around with total strangers, or a manipulative bastard who brainwashes his friends to like him by bribing them with gallant displays of generosity. The idea that he's successful is worth those "tiny" problems.
On the other hand, imagine if one of the people in the couple happens to be a man who proclaims himself some kind of modern day hippie, despising work and relishing on spending his days doing practically nothing under the guise of searching for artistic perfection. The lazy slob might automatically be deemed as worthless by others who think the fact he doesn't earn his keep makes him less of a man.
But sometimes, such a strange mix can still work. Sometimes, the unfaithful bastard in the first example might simply have psychological issues that the other understands and accepts. Or sometimes, the sloth in the second example might truly be fantastically creative when the moment hits him and his partner embraces that probability and waits with him for that moment.
|It takes two. Two people who sleep around freely in a real open-relationship would work.
But one doing so, while the other has no idea or is kept from doing the same... that's doomed to fail.
Maybe. The only ones who can really answer that are those involved, if you ask me. Yes, maybe they can be abusive. Maybe they can be unfair. But if the people involved ultimately are happy, then they deserve that happiness, as twisted and inappropriate as others might deem it. Hey, come on, think about it. We are gay. We are in same-sex relationships. A majority of the people of the world already deem us immorally inappropriate and biologically wrong.
Does that make the relationship worth it, though? Does that make it worth the pain? The anguish? The self-doubt?
|Be honest.
In a relationship that is worth it, I believe both couples strive to maintain an ever present existence of trust with one another. Trust after all, once broken, can take quite much more time than expected to heal. And worse, many mistake a "bahala attitude" as trust. Sensitivity, on the other hand, when present already reduces the presence of infidelity, selfishness and shallowness. When one learns to hold one's partner's feelings in mind, one remains conscious of things that may strain the other's trust and patience. A sensitive person would never hit on someone else, because that person knows such an act can be painful to the other. A sensitive person would never claim to be okay with something, then complain about it once the other actually does it. Patience is the glue that strengthens the three. When one is patient in a relationship, one embraces the fact that no matter how close and wonderful two are together, one accepts the truth that they are still two different people. And two different people may have differences in opinions, interests, or taste. One learns to respect the needs of another, but, guided by sensitivity and empowered by trust, knows that such time will not be abused to the point it leaves the other feeling dejected or unwanted. And lastly, Responsibility. Knowing what resources exist in the relationship, from the material (cash) to the immaterial (time) and understanding that one has to treat such things with a much more mature perspective. Many who simply "do what they want since no one is complaining" fail to realize how irresponsible they are. Such people try to throw the blame on the other for not "telling them to stop" as if they were not given the brains to realize how abusive they are getting.
(I posted about this here too, for those who haven't read it.)
And with those said, we return to the question:
I think ultimately we all can try to assume someone is for an unspecified period of time. When we find someone we like, or feel we have a connection to, we decide, "Yes this person is worth it" for a period of time. Ironically, this period of time tends to be the time we are merely getting to know someone more. During this period, we cancel plans to make time for the other. Or cancel purchases to treat the other out somewhere we like. Many make the mistake of putting their best "show" forward, rather than being themselves, thinking it would be better to "win someone over" by showing them an "ideal" rather than to let someone get to know them as them and face the consequences. But I personally don't think there's anything wrong with assuming someone is worth it this early.
In fact, I think ultimately, we never know for absolute certain if someone is worth it. We can only assume. Or rather, to be more accurate, we can believe the other is.
When we find someone we feel is worth it, we make a leap of faith. We trust in something that doesn't exist. We give that someone a chance to show us otherwise. And sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, we give more chances. Sometimes, we give up. Too soon. Too late.
But we believe.
And that is a belief no one can tell us is wrong. Because as individuals we have the right to make such decisions. What we should never do, however, is blame the other for choosing to believe. (We can always, however, curse them for lying if they do.) And if we find someone who deserves us, it won't be hard to see how they too took that chance and believed in us.
And reached for the same ideals you had.
|Leaping ain't too hard if you know you're both doing it for each other.
But if that trust is shattered, that sensitivity is trampled on, that patience is broken, and that sense of responsibility is abused, I only hope that you realize these things and remember: You deserve better.
And someone out there, deserves you too.

Dear Zac Efron
And yes, I will admit, for someone of your age and looks, you have a fantastically fit body. I know of so many people who would die to touch your arms, caress your chest, and maybe even fondle your armpit hair if given the chance.
Strangely, I was not one of them.
Well, not until I saw these pictures:
And this is to be immortalized on my very blog.
You are HOTNESS.
Finally, in my eyes, I see you and I can believe you have a penis.
I always knew you had one.
Thanks to these pictures, I am now able to say,
"Yes, Zac Efron is hot!"
I just hate how Hollywood prefers its men clean and hairless like a prepubescent boy's testicle. Seriously. Men have hair for a reason. Hair is hawt!

[so easy] Home-made Ice Cream
|It doesn't help that he's pretty hawt for a cook.
Bonus points for posing with a cute piglet!
|This is our home-made ice cream topped with some Dark Chocolate topping!
Seriously, that's it. Bananas are all you need.
Step 1: Allow the bananas to get nicely ripe. In fact, a little bit more over-ripe is better. Once the bananas as starting to feel softer than firm... the brown ones are BEST!
Step 2: Cut up the bananas into slices.
Step 3: Freeze.
Step 4: Assuming it has been a few hours, or even a few days, and the craving for ice cream finally hits, take frozen banana slices from freezer, and toss into blender.
Step 5: Blend nicely, but not too much. Too much and you may end up with something more like puree. Just blend it enough to get the nice creamy texture of ice cream. You'd be surprised how the non-blended bananas mix nicely with the blended parts to form tremendously delicious ice cream!
|This is an example of blending TOO MUCH.
More a Banana Smoothie than Ice Cream.
So to make up for it, just tossed in a Flat Top and some chocolate sauce.
So yes, it is THAT simple.
Rocky found this recipe online and while we were very skeptical at first, it seemed easier than the other ice cream recipes that we found (some required looking for liquid hydrogen. Another used ice cube trays to create the ice cream. And all needed so many ingredients... milk, creams, etc.) This recipe was surprisingly simple yet very delicious and fulfilling to eat!
I highly recommend you try it to surprise the man you love!

Reading Between the Updates
The foundations of a relationship can sometimes be gleaned by simply keeping a keen eye on what either of the two seem to celebrate the most. While a great connection and a rich sex life are both vital to a relationship, one can discern quite easily by glancing at the details what one or the other celebrates the most in their relationship. It is in such introspections that social media such as Mark Zuckerberg's blue logo monstrosity, Facebook.com, or one's blog can be much more revealing than one expects.
|Who needs to worry about losing one's privacy to Facebook
when we're all too willing to already over-share information?
Me. I. All about the person and not about them. All about enjoying life alone.
I couldn't help but wonder when I read them, "Where they not ever together?!?!?" At one point, the two ate at some Italian restaurant. Their updates then followed.
The other, around the same time, sent this update:
And again, barely any hint of being together.
Maybe it was a case of being in the closet. Or maybe it was a hint that the other wasn't too keen on where they decided to go that night. But one would have thought the updates would have at least hinted that they were hanging out at the same place.
When things fell south, many were devastated. To many, it was unthinkable. How could they have ended such a "perfect" relationship? I didn't even bat an eyelash. I could see it a mile away. They were too happy with their own lives they did not really enjoy sharing it with one another.
|Yep, the POKE icon is actually a hidden taunt at what you are.
Then, there is this pair I know of which loves to play the switcharoo game in their social network updates. The two are greatly in love and passionately care for one another, but due to personal reasons are openly exploring having sex with other partners. My feelings on open relationships aside, I am happy that they do at least keep an honest and open flow of communication between them - honestly sharing if they found someone interesting and discussing whether or not it is alright to have fun with the said person or not. None of the "I'll claim to be single/your ex" manipulations in play. So their social network updates are tailored to hit the said "market". I applaud them for their courage in choosing to wade in what I feel is potentially dangerous waters. The risk of tearing apart trust can be tremendously detrimental to a long term partnership.
I do however pity the poor soul who becomes the victim of their united front. I can only hope that the poor sod at least is given a clear understanding of what the situation is, and isn't lead on to think he's in a relationship with a single man.
|To quote, Sharleen Spiteri and Johnny McElhone,
"You can say what you want, but it won't change my mind, I'll feel the same about you."
|There will always be them liars out there.
Or worse.
Sometimes, deny what one wilt, the updates reveal the details indeed.
So if you have a facebook account, well, maybe you ought to take a step back and look at how your updates normally sound. That may give you a better idea on why some people know you better than you think!
