Roses and its meaning...

"Oh the roses are so lovely– thank you so much, dear. So why did you give me 15 stalks?" the girl asks. "Huh? Hmm… well just thought the bouquet look nice with fifteen."

Ha! You just got yourself shoot!

Do you know that Roses, its colors and the number of stalks each has got their meaning? Yes, it has, and it might get you into some trouble if the person whom you’re giving the bouquet knows about its meaning.

So the next time you’re gonna try to impress that special someone with a bouquet of roses, make sure you know the meaning it represent.

Meaning of Color of Roses:


Meaning of Number of Roses:


Okay. Now that you know the true meaning of roses, you won't go wrong!

Whatever the occasion, there is always a rose color or combination that will express your feelings. Isn't it more meaningful that you chose the color that conveys a specific message for that special someone?

The recipient might not truly understand the meaning behind the roses sent but well, it’s your job to make her understand. Either from your own lips or from an accompanying card, along with the roses, your message will be delivered.

Try to express your feeling by telling your special someone the meaning of the roses you’ve just gave her. And with that, you may have just made that person be more impressed with you!

So why not send some roses to your loved ones today? It might not seem much of an effort on your side but think about it, wouldn't they be thrilled and surprised to receive a bouquet of roses say, in the middle of a boring day at work?

Free Hugs campaign...

There's a man who had been living in London when his world turned upside down and he'd had to come home. By the time his plane landed back in Sydney, all he had left was a carry on bag full of clothes and a world of troubles. No one to welcome him back, no place to call home. He was a tourist in his hometown.

Standing there in the arrivals terminal, watching other passengers meeting their waiting friends and family, with open arms and smiling faces, hugging and laughing together, he wanted someone out there to be waiting for him. To be happy to see him. To smile at him. To hug him.

So he got some cardboard and a marker and made a sign. He found the busiest pedestrian intersection in the city and held that sign aloft, with the words "Free Hugs" on both sides.

And for 15 minutes, people just stared right through him. The first person who stopped, tapped him on the shoulder and told him how her dog had just died that morning. How that morning had been the one year anniversary of her only daughter dying in a car accident. How what she needed now, when she felt most alone in the world, was a hug. He got down on one knee, they put their arms around each other and when they parted, she was smiling.

Everyone has problems and for sure his haven't compared. But to see someone who was once frowning, smile even for a moment, is worth it every time.




Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real-life controversial story of Juan Mann. A man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.

The Free Hugs Campaign is an Internet-spread phenomenon that appears to have begun in June, 2004, and was widely publicized in 2006 by a music video on YouTube. The phenomenon involves individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public settings. The campaign is an example of a random act of kindness, a selfless act performed by a person for the sole reason of making others feel better. The original organizer has stated in interviews that the purpose is not to get names, phone numbers, or dates.

A video on YouTube was released on September 22, 2006, and by November 2007, had gained just over 20 million views. According to the video summary, it was recorded in Sydney. In the video, the main character who is giving out hugs, (identified as "Juan Mann", a pseudonym and a homonym of "one man"), walks through the Pitt Street Mall holding up a sign with the words FREE HUGS written on it. Music for the video is provided by Sick Puppies, an Australian band that Mann met a year earlier. Shimon Moore, the lead singer of the Sick Puppies who worked at the mall, shot the footage which he later compiled into a video for the song.

Initial distrust of Juan's motives eventually gave way to a gradual increase of people willing to be hugged, with other huggers (male and female) helping distribute them. After some time, security guards, then police told them they must stop, as Mann had not obtained public liability insurance worth $25 million for his actions. Mann and his companions used a petition to attempt to convince authorities that his campaign should be allowed to continue without the insurance. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring. His petition reached 10,000 signatures. He submitted it and was allowed to continue giving free hugs.

In-love for the first time...


I think I just fell in-love...

I went to Tokyo for a business trip last week. As part of the trip, I went to the 40th Tokyo Motor Show to explore and check-out some new ideas and developments. With all the biggest motor company gathered, showcasing their new ideas and new car models, fanatics just got crazy! As usual, huge crowd and the area was packed!

And there she was... So attractive in black. The first time I saw her, I just can't take my eyes off. I wanted to feel her like I don't have another chance, like it was my last day here on earth. She's not the same slick sexy bitch that we use to see. She's rather wide but sporty with the beautiful curves on her body.

She's just so seductive with her arms wide open, literally inviting people to come to her. Of course, who's gonna resist the temptation with a gorgeous chick?! Everyone around her patiently waiting for their turn to take a picture with her. She's not mine yet, but I felt a little jealous when they came touching, feeling her smooth body.

But I played it cool. With that huge crowd, I know there is no chance for me to get close to her. So I just keep staring at her from a distance, trying to imagine what she've got in the inside. But the last thing I wanna know is her name... Coz if I could only get her name, I know there is a big chance for me to see her again.

And so I got it from her name plate...

Family Name: PORSCHE
First Name: CAYENNE
Middle Name: TURBO

Yes, you read it right!!! PORSCHE, CAYENNE TURBO - the embodiment of all Porsche values. I really fell in-love with her so badly that I wanted to have her as my own. I know it's hard. So I need to set my goal for the impossible to become possible. And so to Cayenne, I know it may take a long time, but I still believe in destiny.

Just for the record... For the first time in my life, I fell in-love with a car...
