Love happens when two people set eyes on each other by fate and develop a bond that cannot be broken by anyone or anything, till death do them part.

But one would question sometimes whether or not you are fated to be with someone when your relationship is very much disapproved by others, particularly your parents.

Gaining your parents’ approval of your heart-to-heart connection with someone is truly a measure of how much you believe that true love will prevail. Some people may very well capitulate, thinking that they are never going to surpass their parents’ disapproval. Others would still find the way out no matter what and how long it takes.

A true believer of love would go all out to resolve such strains. A true believer of love would definitely read this article…

Here, we would like to share with you some of the steps you can take if you are in need of gaining approval from your parents about the person you love and the bond that both of you share.

1. Be truthful about your involvement with your partner and why you feel he or she is the right one for you. Find some useful ways for your partner and your parents to meet up and learn more about one another, in terms of lifestyle, hopes and dreams, and even likes and dislikes.

2. When parents disapprove of their child’s involvement with someone, they would have a heap load of things to say about him or her. Still, do not walk away from them. Be a good child to them and open your ears to what they have got to say about your partner. After all, you need not necessarily agree to their opinions.

3. Refrain from using provocations or threats against your parents. Sometimes you just need to understand that they have got nothing but love for you, and want nothing but the best for you. Try to be gentler in the way you convince them, and do it at your own pace. If your partner really loves you, he or she would not mind waiting for two or three more years, or rather, would not force you into marriage too fast.

4. Bring your parents along to go for a counseling session or workshop pertaining to premarital issues. In this way, they may feel a little more at ease after getting the assurance that you are aware of the negative impacts of loving someone such as early marriage or even pregnancy before marriage.

5. If the disapproval from your parents is causing you to think twice about your decision to marry someone, postpone it or cancel it. It is actually less upsetting to cancel the wedding than to file a divorce.

6. You may have managed to gain approval from them to marry the one you love, but that does not mean they have developed a liking for your partner. There is such a thing called disapproval after marriage. Therefore, you and your partner should discuss the limitations in the connection between the both of you and the both of them. This would less likely cause any further strains between you and them, as well as between you and your spouse.

7. You need not pressurize your partner to be present for your family outings or get-together sessions, but you should also ensure that your partner does not restrict you from being with your family. Your relationship with your family should never be broken no matter what.

8. Disapproval from your parents can lead to lack of trust and major contradictions between you and your partner. If it reaches that point, it is advisable for both of you to seek help from a marriage consultant.

It goes without saying how rough love can be when two important people in your life are not favorable of the person you want to build a life with. But then again, one may not understand and appreciate the true meaning of love if there are no obstacles that both of you need to overcome.

To those who are going through this rough patch of love, we truly understand and we hope you can take this as a test of how much you and your partner love each other.

Remember, love is about being there for each other not only through good times, but also, through bad times.

When one plunges into blogging, the first thing that comes into mind is link exchanging, which is believed by many of us bloggers to be the golden ticket to huge amount of traffic and successful blog optimization and monetization.

Yes it could be every blogger’s golden ticket, if the blogger knows how to utilize the opportunity.

While link exchanging turns your simple online diary into a popular site, it can also cost you some misfortunes if you are less careful about it, especially when you link your blog to a site that is not highly recognized, infamous and holds a bad reputation.

You ought to be vigilant when it comes to this one because if you buck up the wrong tree, it can affect your page rank negatively.

If you think that emails have a fair share of scams, well it is actually the same for link exchanging. Hence, we would like to share you some useful tips on how you can avoid those unwanted scams.

1. If you were to receive a link exchange request, do research on the site first. This is really advisable especially if your site is an online business site whereby you need to ensure that its status is well maintained. Analyze the site in terms of whether it provides valuable information that you can benefit from, its significance towards your readers and visitors, and the page rank. A site that is ranked ‘0’ may not necessarily be a bad site, but there is a possibility that the site had once or is currently given a penalty. So do look into these areas before accepting the offer.

2. Upon visiting the site, check that your link can be found in the site to indicate that your link has been added into the blogroll or network. Not all webmasters are honest about a link exchange, or perhaps they have their own hidden agenda when they informed you of their request for a link exchange. Hence, you should ensure of this aspect.

3. Once you have found your link in the site, click on the link to validate that the URL is correct. This is because webmasters sometimes make use of your link name to link to their site instead of yours. This is another area that should be looked into as well.

4. Look out for the URL code by right clicking on the link and selecting ‘Properties’. If you notice that a java script or codes besides htm and html, or if you notice ‘rel’ included in the link, the exchange should be declined. These codes are actually used in order for the search engines to overlook your link and will therefore not make any difference to your page rank and traffic.

5. Ensure that the page code is such that your link is not associated with a robot.txt file, which can cause your link to be disregarded by search engines. You can do so by selecting ‘View’ and then ‘Source’ from your browser task bar.

6. Check that your link has been displayed on the home page of the site that requested for the link exchange. If your link is displayed on one of the other pages on the site, visitors of that site will not even know about your link. This is also apparently a tactic that dishonest webmasters would use so that you will not gain as many visitors as possible. So before accepting the link exchange, make sure that your link can be clearly seen on the home page rather than other pages of the site.

Being careful with link exchanges is like being careful when choosing your friends. You would only accept friends who truly want to build a friendship with you instead of those who want to build a friendship just to take advantage of you in the end.

The same theory applies to link exchanging.

With that, be careful not to hop on board the bad linky love train!

Talking about linky love train, we just remembered that Marzie has invited us for a ride on her enormous linky love train. We would definitely hop on board because she is a fine example of a true friend in the blogosphere who would support us and even help us when we need one. It was surely worth exchanging links with her!

Now we too would like to invite a few others for this amazing train ride!

Things can be easier said than done. This is especially so for someone who has plunged himself or herself into smoking and is now trying to find his or her way out of it. The quest to quit smoking is never smooth sailing. He or she cannot quit smoking over night simply by saying ‘I Quit’.

Smoking is addictive, and it is all thanks to the poisonous substance called nicotine that causes one to puff excessively.

The addiction to it can subdue your entire soul, and without putting in any effort, you are going to face difficulties quitting for life.

But on a positive note, quitting smoking is possible.

Let us share with you some effective ways for you to dispose off your smoking habits and get your life back to normal:

1. Pen down your wish to erase smoking from your life’s list of habits. Write down the causes of your intention to quit smoking so that you can always fall back on those causes in times when you still have the urge to smoke. In fact, holding a pen often can keep your fingers away from touching the cigarettes, thus lessening your craving to puff.

2. Reflect and write down where, when and with whom did you kick start the habit. These are the factors that constitute the story of your life as a smoker and therefore should be avoided. You should especially avoid people who had influenced you to take up this bad habit, and focus more on those who would encourage you to kick it off.

3. Change your way of life. Plan out on paper by stating the reasons for smoking and how you would like to put your urge for smoking to a stop.

4. Purchase those brands of cigarettes that you are normally not in favor of. Some smokers do have their own personal favorite brands when it comes to smoking, but if you were to buy brands that you are not too familiar with, it might make you be more turned off by smoking, thus gradually reducing your craving for smoking.

5. Inform all your friends and family members about your plans to get rid of your smoking habits so that you can gain more support and encouragement from them, which would definitely serve as an effective booster of your motivation to quit smoking.

6. Dispose all your ashtrays, empty cigarette packs and lighters and that would decrease your urge to smoke.

7. Once you have set the date you want to quit, ensure that you fully erase smoking on that day itself. That is after all the day that you are supposed to get rid of it for good.

8. Give yourself a prize for successfully saying ‘I quit’ to smoking. For instance, you can treat yourself to a hearty meal or go for a holiday using the money you have been saving up, knowing that you need not spend that money on packs of cigarettes anymore.

9. Do not fret if the craving abruptly comes back. It happens when you are in the midst of quitting, but it will go off within a span of a few minutes. As mentioned in the first point, you can always refer back to the reasons for your intention to stop smoking that you have written.

10. If it is too hard on you, consult a professional doctor to gain some valuable advice on how to quit smoking. The doctor would be able to follow-up with you on your progression and your quitting needs.

Quitting is hard, but not quitting is harder.

So to those of you who really wish to find the willpower to say ‘No’ to smoking, we hope you can spare some time reading these simple tips from us.

In our lifetime, we do feel the need to mould ourselves into good people. We wish to be able to do all the good deeds to others, and if possible, we do not want to portray a self-centered image in the eyes of others. Without a doubt, it would be very noble of someone to be able to lend a helping hand to those who are in need of one. It certainly would!

But what if those people whom you have offered to help are those who are apparently undeserving of your help? What if their pleas for sympathy from you are merely their gateways to taking advantage of you? This is where you will realize how essential it is for you to limit yourself in life.

It may be puzzling for some of you to learn that you have to limit yourself even when doing good deeds. But when you do so, you will find that you are constantly safe from unnecessary dangers and perils that you have to put yourself into just because you have done something good for someone.

While some people get indebted towards your sincerity in helping them and wish that they could repay you with a handsome reward, others would just walk away from you once they have squandered something from you, or worse still, put you into hot soup out of nowhere.

As someone who is always keen in being there for others, you would not ask for anything in return for sure. But just envisage how it feels like when you have poured milk for someone, and yet that someone gives you poison in return.

So one thing you should always bear in mind is that it is perfectly great to do all the good things in life, but do not submit yourself to people’s tears and pleas too easily either. Do not forget to think about your safety and well-being while helping others in their times of need.

Simply said, limit yourself.

Limiting yourself is also something you should apply to your life every time you go out there to enjoy life with others. It is never wrong to enjoy yourself with the company of your family members and friends. You can always go partying and dancing the night away. But a word of caution!

You should always remember not to go beyond the limits. Whether you believe it or not, too much of enjoyment, even for just a night, can change your lives forever, negatively.

Imagine yourself in a pub dancing to those upbeat songs that put you in a trance, and then without realizing, someone pours drugs into your drink. You drink it, and there goes your entire life! Your body is filled with drugs, and you may see yourself as a resident drug addict for life.

So before it is too late to say sorry, be safe. Limit yourself while having fun!

What about the occasional heated arguments between you and someone else? Don’t you think you should keep yourself at optimum level as well?

It is fine to emit your frustrations, as it will not do you any good if you bottle them up inside your heart. Still, you should not make the burning fire get too big. What would become of you if you end up throwing tantrums, banging and throwing items, and uttering those harsh words? And what would happen to those who are affected by your raging anger?

Would you want to see your loved ones and friends get hurt physically and emotionally as a result of your anger that is beyond control? So in such situations, you should also remember to limit yourself. Learn more about anger management.

That is how you can limit the anger in you.

So in every aspect of your life, limitations should always be observed. In that way, you can keep yourself in good shape, and still make others around you happy. It is indeed the philosophy of life that should be taken seriously.

Talking about limitations of life has surely reminded us of a meme that two of our lovely friends, Marzie and Jesse, have tagged us on.

Here is the trivia question that they have asked us:

What are the 5 gifts you would buy for yourself this Christmas, if you had unlimited income?

To us, the question sounds more like what we would indulge ourselves into if we were to have unlimited income at any point in time. Nevertheless, here are the five items we would pamper ourselves with:

1. Trips or getaways to the most exotic countries in the world, particularly Mauritius.
2. Issey Miyake and Anna Sui perfumes. For the NAFA girls of course!
3. Home theatre sets so that we need not travel all the way to the cinema just to catch our favorite movies.
4. A beautiful house for the NAFA team to stay in and hang out together.
5. More chocolates, nougats, and ice creams. We cannot live without them!

But frankly, if we were to have unlimited income, we would be glad to send our donations to all the charitable organizations out there, and also, purchase the best presents for our beloved blogging friends here. Hope that day would come!

What about you? Yes, all of you whom we are tagging to answer this question. We would love to hear from you!
