My First Love

I always ask my parents how do they know when it's real love? They always just say: "You will know." So far, I haven't really found out for myself, but I have a pretty good idea of what to look out for, based on my parent's relationship. How to know it's love?

1. You want to spend every opportunity you get with them, long to see them when you're away, and dread having to leave them when you're together.

2. They're what you think about for a good portion of your day. You wonder what they're doing, what they had for lunch, if their boss has pissed them off today, and long to talk to them to find out about the above.

3. Their imperfections don't matter to you. You overlook their shortcomings and can tolerate their bad habits.

4. The thought of losing them literally makes you nauseous.

5. You know exactly how they are feeling just by their body language, their tone of voice, the look in their eyes. You can read each other very well.

6. You can sit in silence without feeling awkward or feeling the need to think of something to say to impress them.

7. You can be yourself around them, your uninhibited self.

8. Seeing them instantly makes your day brighter.

9. You know without a doubt you can spend the rest of your life with them.

10. Love songs actually mean something to you now.

These are just a few of the things I've observed from people around me who are madly in love. I can't wait to get that feeling, though I know it may come with some heartache, but that's a risk I'm willing to take!

How do you know you're in love?

I'm Back

So it's been well over a year since I've added a blog entry. And I'll do what I always do when I slack off of doing something...blame being in medical school. Which is partially true, because it is pretty stressful. Well I'm on holiday now (for two weeks, one of which is left) and so I've decided to take the 30-day blog challenge (to help me keep up with writing these blogs). So day 1, I'm supposed to introduce myself (I guess all over again), post a recent picture of myself, and 15 random facts about myself. Well here goes nothin'....

Well hi there, I'm Davia. Born and grown in the beautiful island of Jamaica. I am a fun-loving, friendly, talkative woman, who is an avid dog lover and a fan of all things fashion. I'm currently in medical school (as you have already surmised) and I am loving every moment of it! I live with my folks in an apartment in the city, an apartment that doesn't allow us to keep dogs so I have two birds instead, whom I love nonetheless. I enjoy going out with friends for dinner etc. and I'm always up for meeting new people. Well I think that's enough of an intro. Now for 15 random facts:

1. I'm a British citizen, but I've never been to England. That's on my "to go" list.

2. I'm a huge fan of spicy food. Jerked chicken, pork, sausage....mmmmm!

3. I was an honour student all through high school.

4. I never learned how to ride a bike.

5. My dad's an artist, and some of his skills have rubbed off on me, but I rarely get a chance to show them off.

6. I used to want to be a teacher, until I got to high school and saw how the kids were, realized I wouldn't have the patience to deal with them, and decided this is not the path for me.

7. This is my favourite number.

8. This is my birth month. I'm a virgo (well I think, the whole switching of zodiac signs thing kinda got me confused) and I have most of the traits: organized, critical, perfectionist, "reserved", etc.

9. I have never been drunk in my entire life. I'm proud yes :)

10. I've been called a heartbreaker.

11. I hate to lose/admit that I'm wrong. But I'm getting better.

12. If I wasn't doing medicine, I would like to do wedding planning. I'm a huge romantic, and I like to organize things and design so that would be my #2 career choice.

13. I get along better with guys than with other women. I find guys easier to approach, and they're less judgmental.

14. I'm deathly afraid of moths :| I have no idea why. It's an irrational fear I've had since a kid. Wish I could get rid of it.

15. My favourite icecream flavour is strawberry cheesecake. Mixture of my two favourite desserts! Yum!

Where's Mr. Right?

I know women are always searching for this so-called "Mr. Right". Each of us have our own criteria as to who we consider the right one for us. But finding this person seems impossible to most of us. Are we just too picky? Or have we just not stumbled upon him as yet? Well here are my criteria.
1. He must have good values/morals. Not saying he has to be a goody-two-shoes, but just share some of what I like to uphold. And I definitely want him to be a Christian.
2. He must have ambition. No you don't have to be the CEO of a company, you can even be working in Burger King, but just have a goal going towards, like saving your pay towards going to school etc. I hate bums that make no effort to achieve their goals in life.
3. He must be a good conversationalist. I'm tired of talking to people who give one word answers and cannot hold a conversation.
4. He must have a sense of humour. He doesn't have to be the next Jeff Foxworthy, but I like a guy who can make me laugh. And I don't want a guy who is serious all the time.
5. He must be intelligent. Not looking for the next Einstein here, but just want someone who I can have an intelligent conversation with, as I don't want to be talking about light stuff all the time. I also require general common sense. A lot of people seem to lack this.
6. He must be able to make decisions for himself. I've dated guys who left it up to me to make the decisions in our relationship, from simple things like choosing where to eat for lunch, to more important things like choosing his major in college. Not saying I hate making decisions, but at least make some for yourself!
7. He must dress nicely. The baggy pants, with your boxers showing, oversized t-shirts etc. is not cutting it. Wear clothes that fit please.
8. He must have a good family background. No he doesn't have to come from a picture perfect family. But chances are if his mother, brother, aunt and grandma are in the crazy asylum, it may run in his family. This one is kinda iffy though because he doesn't necessarily have to be like his family, but it's still one of the things I look out for.
9. You know the usual stuff like honesty, loyalty etc.
10. He must be chivalrous! Call me old-fashioned but I like me a guy that opens doors for me, offers me his seat, swats away a bee that's bothering me. I was at the movies the other night, and there was a huge crowd to go in. And men were literally shoving me to get a good seat. I was appalled.
11. Of course I must be physically attracted to him *tee hee*

I wonder if it is possible to find a man with all of these qualities? I mean I'm not asking for much *tee hee*

BRB (Be Right Back)

Everyone who is technologically conscious should know this ever popular shortcut, used to tell someone you're leaving the computer, quickly and without getting into details. Now I use brb for other reasons, depending on the kind of person I'm talking to. You'll see what I mean.

When I say BRB to ________ it means:
1. An annoying person: you're annoying and I don't wanna talk to you cause you annoy the hell out of me. What a pity you don't know how annoying you are. However, I can't face to tell you you're annoying so I say brb instead so I don't have to talk to you. And yes I'm am still at my computer.
2. A Frienemy: I don't wanna talk to you because I know you you talk smack about me. But I humour you just to play the "monkey game". I'm not leaving the computer, but I don't want to have an awkward convo with you, so I'll say goodnight with a smiley face when I'm leaving.
3. A "playa": I'm tired of your sugar coated lines. No I don't want to be you're girlfriend, no I don't want to go out with you and no I'm not the slightest bit interested in you. Stop bothering me and get the hint that everytime you say hey I say brb and don't come back.
4. The Awkward Conversationer: I think I'm gonna scream if I have to answer any more of your scintillating questions such as "so...what did you eat for lunch today? what did you like the best, the chicken or the rice?" -_- So I say brb to save myself from this utter boredom. Yes I'm still here. But I'll be nice and tell you goodnight before I leave :).
5. The Best Friend: BRB = BRB plain and simple. I love talking to you! And usually I'd give you tmi (too much info) as to what I'm gonna do *tee hee*.

Cheating

Yet another episode of Sex and the City that sparked my interest. The topic of cheating was brought up. Charlotte caught her new beau making out with another girl in her own gallery. The guy claimed it was not cheating; it was just kissing. Of course, the ladies discussed this topic. Carrie brought up the idea that cheating is on a curve, meaning what you consider cheating is directly proportional to how much you want to do outside of your relationship.
To me, kissing someone else is definitely cheating. Is it because I could never see myself kissing someone who was not my significant other? Then you have all these "open relationships" where basically anything goes as long as there is no sexual intercourse. Heck some couples even allow that!
In my opinion, if you're in a serious relationship with someone, you should be faithful in all manners of the word. Kissing someone else, going on a romantic date with someone else etc. should be no-no's and you shouldn't have to be told this.
What do you consider cheating? What would you allow in your relationship?
