RIVER LINE DATE NIGHT

This is a quick little tip for a date. I live by the Raritan River and one day i was walking around it until i walked into people's backyards, and that is when it hit me. Have a picnic by the river. Almost anywhere you go there is a state park by a river/lake.
I really like this date because I am an outdoors kind of person, and most likely you have to pay to get in, but besides that, it'll be a relatively cheap date because you would bring your own food. If you want to spice it up a little, you can also go canoeing and kayaking as well.
This is fun because it allows you to either relax or be adventurous but either way you still get to spend it with your other half, and that is all that matters<3

CTFXC IS THE BEST COUPLE

So today is another one of those topics where I want to talk about someone, and this time, it's going to be one of my favorite couples. Throughout the weeks I will do this a-lot because I really like couples. Today I want to talk about the people behind CTFXC Charles Trippy and Alli Trippy. A little back story is they both film their lives on YouTube everyday since May 2009. Charles is now the Bassist for We The kings. Oh and I should mention when they got married I guess.
Anyways, in September 2011 Charles decided to join We The Kings as the new basist. On November 20, 2011, Charles and Ali got married. Corey Videl and his team did an amazing job filming the magical day. This is where I give the couple credit because a few days after Charles left to go back on tour. I guess in today's age it's easier especially because one, the couple can facetime and because they video tape each other's lives so to me it's like they get to see each other everyday.
In February 2012, Charles was emitted into the hospital while on tour because he passed out. He later found out he had a tumor in his brain and he had a seizure.  Ali was in Thailand on Vacation and took the next possibly flight to meet him in the hospital.The couple flew home and a week later Charles had brain surgery.
During all of this time, his buddy Shay Butler from the Shaytards flew out to visit him. After the surgery everything was swell, but he couldn't drive, so kudos to Alli for one, driving him everywhere, and two after he went back on tour, she bought him a golf cart that he uses to get around.
Charles continued back on tour and everything was going well until a year later he faced another Seizure, and then, I think a month later he had another one. Charles went back on tour but this time Alli joined him. This tour had to be my favorite because I saw the couple all the time. Towards the end though, there was a video that showed Alli being "abusive" because she kicked Charles in the nuts, when clearly he asked for it.
I really find them my favorite couple because one its truly them, there is no drama that you see on TV and nothing to make them "look" bad. If you don't like them then its like why we don't like one another, because of their personalities and not mistakes. I also really like them because I don't see them fight, and I mean all relationships fight but they don't publicize it. Therefore CTFXC is one of the best couples and I wish them the best of luck at everything that comes to them<3

BACK TO SCHOOL DATING LIFE

If you are like me, it means you have started on going back to school, which can be very fun. It's a time to see old friends and make new friends, and even develop crushes.
Today I want to give some insightful tips on high school relationships.
Rule number one: keep your love life out of everyone else's life, first off most people don't really care and second people are judgmental so they will judge you every chance they get. The judging can put pressure on you and end up ruining your relationship. I've also found it better to just leave out all the fights and stuff when telling people when you do tell people.
Number two, it's a new year which means old friends and new people. Be social. Seriously, nothing can happen if you just try to be nice, I mean granted people are mean but who cares. For girls I would suggest to not really try, it can scare the guys away and if you develop a crush on a guy don't tell people, it''ll make your chances even harder. And for guys, just go for it, if you ask nicely, most likely you will score a date.
High school is the time to experiment. I would suggest to not really go into a relationship and just date. It's a time where you learn about yourself and about other people. If you put a limit on the amount of guys you see you won't really find the right guy and you don't really learn about yourself. Put yourself out there, you'll grow stronger and smarter.
Anyways I hope this was helpful and I will see you tomorrow :) <3

MOVE ON ALREADY

So I know break ups are tough and no one ever wants to just move on. Some people are better at accepting it than others and here is where it crosses the line.
So I have a few pet peeves about break-ups, number one is when like a 12 year old has a "girlfriend/boyfriend" and then they break up, the child is like my life is over, I am never gonna find love again. It's like no, shut up, go take a nap, I have a juice box for you. And it's not even just about like middle schoolers, same with high schoolers. Life is just beginning and everyone will find someone, so stop giving up.
I understand that relationships are hard and so it break-ups but that doesn't mean your life is over. Actually break-ups teach you a lot about yourself and about people. 
My second pet peeve isn't really like bad but when people break-up there is a good chance it won't work out again. I'm not saying to give up, but it's best if you just try to move on. I have a friend who dated a girl for a good year or maybe longer. Now it's been over a year since they broke up. He comes to me for advice about how to get her back. But honestly you have to see how she is treating you, because some chicks can be a real bitch and that is when you say screw it and move on. You have to face reality, hopes and dreams are good to have, but see it from a realistic point of view.
I don't have the right advice for this, I don't know how to tell people to move on, but hey just cry it out. Wear PJ's, eat ice cream and watch horrible movies and cry at the stupidest things. There is no right way to move on, each one is different.
So the point here is if you break up with someone understand that it is not the end of the world, there are gazillions of people in this world. You are going to find someone I promise, and if you really want to get back together with someone just show how much you care. Like stop being a coward and buy her flowers or go to her house on a lawn mower with a boom box and play 80 songs. If none of those things work than move on already, because honestly no one wants to hear how much you miss her and ask for advice all the time for over a year. You have to learn to move on sometimes.
And I know this advice may be hard on some people and seem harsh but it's the truth. So I hope this helped you and I will see your beautiful faces tomorrow. <3

LOVE DOESN'T MATTER

So today is going to be a little different. I don't have advice, I mean I could but I like this topic better. In an age like today, sexuality is important. But it shouldn't be. And it pisses me off.
Should it matter if a boy likes a boy or a girl likes a girl. It shouldn't. They aren't any different from us. Actually they are pretty much us. I never understood why people make a big deal, I don't understand how someone can hate a person because of who they love.
I have two examples of this. One, Lucas Cruikshank has been out of the closet for three years, but didn't think it was necessary to tell the public. He had thousands and thousands of people like his work, and just earlier this week, Lucas admitted to liking boys. I was reading through people's comment on his video and there was a lot of hate. How can someone who used to like the guy change their opinion just because of who he likes? I mean do we hate people because they like the opposite sex. 
I understand that, for society, being "straight" is the norm. But I believe it's a time for a change. Because example number two, one of my biggest idols is Adam Lambert, I supported him since the beginning of his adventure on American Idol.
 Lambert is an example of why judging is not fair. He had everything it took to win Idol, but because he was flamboyant about his sexuality, he came in second place. Only reason I am mentioning him is because everyone is so judgmental. Why does society care so much about the "gays" and not about the "straights." Society is so messed up because some of the best people who could make it big, don't get the chance because of who they love. Love doesn't matter. It shouldn't determine how people portray them. Everyone is human so get over it. Stop making homosexuality a taboo thing.

15 RANDOM THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT SEX

So in this post today I am gonna be like your mother. I have some statements about sex, which is kind of all based on self-opinions. I hope from this they will help mold your views on sex

1.  Age does matter.
2.  The best protective sex is to wait.
3.  The second best is to be on the pill and use condoms.
4.  Make sure having sex is worth it. I don't want you to regret it.
5. Saying that, make sure the person is the one you want to lose it to.
6. The same concepts apply with every person.
7. Be cautious about your body and health. 
8. Guys always think about sex.
9. But that doesn't mean they're faking their relationship for it.
10. Studies show that teenage boys care more about the relationship than the sex.
11. Think about what having sex can do to you and the other person.
12. Societal approval should determine if you are ready. If the thought that Society will disapprove your actions and it bothers you then you aren't ready.
13. Sex is like buying a car. You have to test each one out(as in dating) and figure out with one works best.
14. Sex is also a part of you. You really shouldn't give it away to anyone.
15. Sex can be addicting, so also make sure you are at the right age with the right person.

Again these are my views on sex and what I know. Also random fact did you know the sperm is really good for your face, it can actually reduce winkles. I hope you understand that I am not shoving my beliefs down your throat. Have a wonderful day and I hope to talk to you tomorrow.

THE FIRST KISS

So you scored a date, I'm assuming, right? well that will also mean you have to get through the date, which is challenging. But what happened when you drop the girl off at the front door? It's the first kiss!
The first kiss, no matter what, will always be awkward. Get over it! There is nothing you can do to fix that. But here are some tips to make the night more memorable . 
First. Make sure you are going to go out with her again. You don't want to lead the girl on, it is one of the worse thing a guy can do.
two. Find the right time, like when you are both done talking and you are about to leave. Her hair will glow in the moonlight and the smile will light up the dark sky. Find that moment.
third. Lean in, and just give a peck. It will be a little clean, because no girl really wants to have a slobbery wet first kiss. It will probably make us not like you, and you will likely not see a second date.
Finally. you just scored a still kinda awkward first kiss. But it'll be a cliche, cute first kiss, that really is pretty awesome. I hope this worked and I will write to you guys tomorrow. :)<3

FIGHT NIGHT

Here is something that in a relationship, no one can ever avoid. Fights. They will always happen. But there are a few things that each person can do that can either eliminate the amount of fights or that can prevent each other from hurting at the end of a fight.

So number one, if you can realize that something you may say will create a reaction don't say it, unless it is important and will bring you guys even closer together. This is important because your words can very indeed start heated arguments. By recognizing that what you say can start an argument you will be able to start decreasing the amounts of arguments.

Number two. Walk away from fights. If you and your other half is starting to get into a heated argument just walk away. This is the hardest thing to do. but by doing this, you can either earn great respect and look very mature. I suggest that you just say this is stupid and walk out or apologize even if you aren't wrong.

Number three. this tip is more for the guys. Sometimes in arguments you can say something really mean and it will cause girls to breakdown crying, not always, but sometimes. I suggest for a guy, to also just stop fighting. Apologize because it can make everything worse in the end.
I only give this advice cause I'm a sucker for flowers. If the two of you get into a fight and it is a major fight that ends up harming one another, well then, I think it is the guys duty to just go and buy something to show that you are sorry. Actually do something to show it, and girls can do that same. It shouldn't always be a guys fault kind of thing. Lets just admit know that we aren't so angelic as everyone thinks we are. We start fights and we should take responsibility for that too!

I hope this advice helped eliminate the amount of fights you and your other half have. If you want more opinions just contact me at its.a.love.thing13@gmail.com and I will promise to answer you back. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to tell someone you love them today <3

Change is definitely something that everyone has to go through. And it is not easy to deal with. So heres the thing, lets talk about me again.
My boyfriend left for college today and I am still in high school. It is challenging. It has been challenging to adapt to this change, As the days go on I realize that this change may be the greatest thing to ever happen to me.
Change has to happen. But if change happens in a relationship just work at it. It could bring you guys even closer to each other, I have learned from other people that if the change is a long term relationship it can actually bring the couple closer.
See here is the deal, when two people are far away from each other and you know you won't always see them, it can be very hard. But I have been told that you can get closer on a more emotional level because You will end up talking more about each others days. With today's technology you are able to connect much more with a person, with texting and video chatting.
So if there is a change in your relationship the two of you can make it work. If the two of you truly love each other then just work on it. Actually try and meet each other half way.  If you both work at it then the change can be very easy to over come.

BEST MARRIAGE PROPOSAL EVER <3

08/19/2013

0 Comments

 

So I am a huge youtube advocate, actually I make videos based on the blogs I post here. Lately I have been obsessed with SourceFed and before that I had known about this guy, Phillip Defranco. I knew as much as he was one out of like two hosts on Sourcefed who wasn't married but he had been dating this girl, Lindsey for over six years and I hoped one day he would ask her to marry him. AND HE DID!!
I love Defranco. He had balls to do this. First off he's like famous so he knew so many people would be seeing this, and it takes guts to ask a girl to marry them,  Defranco was unique, and on the last question he made a girl ask Lindsey if they would ever get married which puts both in an awkward situation and after he's done acting embarrassed he pulls out a ring and proposes to her. The best part about this video is that he made her parents come too, which you could see it meant alot to her, and I give him credit for pulling this off(: Although for being together for such a long time, I think he knew what she would say. I am a lover for this proposals but I wasn't big on marriage. I really hope that these two are happy and stay happy together forever. The end

LETS GO TO A CONCERT

Concerts are always fun! it is a way to bring two people with the same taste of music together. If you live close to the venue its even better. I suggest to find a band that you both like and then buy tickets for like standing admission or lawn seats. Most concert tickets go for about $30.  
I really like this date because I am a fanatic about music and well...concerts. This is a perfect date for when you and your other half have been dating for a while because its like you can be with each other but don't have to really be talking or kissing. Its a fun way to get out of your hanging out kinda dates.
You guys could go get something small to eat before the concert starts, and then during the concert you both can concentrate on each other and the amazing music and how amazing this experience is.  This will be a date that you and your other half will never forget :)

THE DO'S AND DON'TS

Are you going out tonight? Is it a party or a huge dinner? Well I hope these tips help create the best night of your life.
so here is a list of Do's.
-Do introduce your person to everyone, but make sure they get to talk to one another.
-Do make sure you spend time with everyone.
-Do flaunt your significant other off. Let them know you are proud to have them in your lives.
-Do be confident in public with your significant other.
THE DON'TS
-Don't ignore your significant other for everyone else.
-Don't be overly friendly with the opposite sex, it could give off the wrong impression.
-Don't be distracted by everything/your cell phone, Make sure you make your way around to everyone.
-Don't ignore one another....Invite them to each conversation.
And that will make the date more effective and it'll make both of you feel more appreciative and proud of one another. You should feel like they were able to balance their attention on other people and on you. Hope this helped. :)

DATE NIGHT STYLE

So this style is simple to pull off. First my top is really just a thin hoodie-like-top. It was bought at Love Culture for a relatively cheap price. Now the pants are from Kohls, and this outfit is perfect for any colored pants, like blue or orange and even pink. if you go to any store you can usually find colored jeans on clearance. Now I love my converse, and they work great for everything, but if you don't own a pair a simple pair of flip flops or black flatts can work too. My necklace is from the Philippines, but any bulky big necklace can work. My hair is pinned back with a clip and my make-up is just natural. Any hair style works great for this outfit. Now for date night. I would wear this for the first dates, like if your going bowling or to dinner or movies. It works great because its comfortable and you look modest, not really showing off anything. It'll make the guy pay attention to you and what you say. So I hope you like my outfit tonight and remember never kiss a guy on the first date ;)  <3

DATE NIGHT VIA RAINY DAYS

Rainy days can be such a bummer, and if you live in a place like me, it's almost impossible to find a perfect day. So here is a date to go on when it won't stop raining.
Panera Bread is always a wonderful thing to eat on rainy days. it is relatively cheap had usually makes the best soups. Can I suggest either the French Onion or the grilled cheese with tomato soup. it's deliciouso! 
After dinner you and your other half can go to the movies and see the newest chick flick or action movie. But if you want to save money you can either rent the newest DVDs at a red box or go buy a movie for $5 at Walmart. You can make your own movie night at one of your houses. Its cheap and you can snuggle up under the blankets with your other half. Its a classic rainy night kinda date :) <3

JUST FALL IN LOVE

So you know how people can give advice but then never follow advice? Well...Guess what??? Today I feel like making your lives much better by telling you not to fall into my mistakes.
So I have been dating a boy for a year, Awe<3 and only being seventeen I had been in a relationship where when it ended the guy decided to just treat my like crap and say all these horrible things about me. it hurt me so much that I just grew distant from everyone else. About eight months of being a social outcast I met a boy from a different school and then we fell in love....But there were a few problems, He was a senior, and I have anxiety problems, which meant a lot of things scared me. So I tried convincing him I didn't want to be in a relationship and I continued to push him away. A couple weeks later he told me to give him a chance and I just thought I will keep my guard up and hope that it'll only be for a couple months. But it was a mistake.
One year later I am crying in my bedroom because the greatest thing to ever happen in my life is going to college. In a year i have barely managed to ever explain any of my troubles with him. I keep hiding away, and that's a mistake. If you really truly like someone please you should maybe actually try to trust them. I had lost trust on guys because they used it against me to hurt me, but I know my boyfriend better than anything, and yet it is so hard.
I regret not letting him help me. We came to the boiling part where he told me he was fed up with me because I would transfer my sadness into anger and I would lash out. I regret this because I know how much harder it'll be for him to help me. 
So here is my advice...If you are going to fall in love, fall in love. But you don't have to rush it.  Go on dates and see if the person is right for you. You should be able to trust the person and I trust mine, but I let fear control my life. 
I want you to be safe and to not feel afraid that the other person will ruin your life and hurt you. You shouldn't have to. I want you to be happy. So if you want to be in a relationship then put yourself out there and don't be afraid to fall in love, because I held back and now I am risking everything. Don't be a me.

FIRST DATE?!

So is this your first date? And do you not wanna mess this up? Well here are some tips for you.
Gentlemen, first off be a gentlemen, Be nice, compliment her(but again don't kill it) Oh and girls find it classy when you open the doors for her and other people.
Second off, If it's your first date pay for both of you, even if she offers. And pay for the next couple dates, then you can start being lighter on the cash.
So if you go out to dinner for a first date, don't be messy, be classy, and if it's the movies don't ruin the movie, and be quiet for the entire film. Seriously it's not that hard. 

Now for women, it can go the same for you. Be classy and not rude. If you absolutely hate being with the person just act like you are having a good time. If you are out to dinner then offer to pay, and if you are at the movies, don't annoy everyone  and be quiet. 
At the end of the night you can find a nice compliment about how awful the date was like say, I had an interesting time with you, but don't crush his night. Or if you absolutely have to then please be gentle over it.
And for the tip of the date: Do not use your cell phones....Pay attention to one another!!

ASK ME OUT

Do you ever get nervous asking a girl out? Well here are some tips that may or may not help you.
first...understand that I have never been asked out on a date ever in my life.
But this is what I imagined it to be.
Grow a pair of balls, then go find the girl you like and be like uh...your pretty. wanna go grab dinner tonight.
I actually think it's good to be nervous, it shows that this is a big deal to ask her out.  So heres the other thing, Just please stop being all pessimistic about it.
If a girl likes you she will say yes. if a girl is single she might give you a chance. And what if she says no? then you go to a bar and drink and hook up and make a mistake you will regret, unless your around my age, then just go play with your cat.
It's not the end of the world. I promise you that, so just go and take a chance, the worse she can do is say no.
And seriously compliment her, but don't kill it. And if you score a date, well Check out my next blog because I will explain what to do on a date.
I love you 
and good luck

person ( for girls, it's wearing make-up and dressing up. Or for boys, it's cleaning up, I.e shaving their beard and trying to dress classy)


♥ You imagine a future with that person


♥ You get butterflies every time you see that person


♥ You start to over analyze every single one of your conversations and that person's action to justify it as that person as liking you
