New Blog, New Adventures

So I have been looking at my blog....and have noticed that the links under the posts are super old. And they totally doing even relate to the posts. It shows too much of my old days of college life when I first started this blog. Now that my life is moving onto a whole new level I have decided to just start a new blog. I will still be using blogger temporarily for my personal use. but may switch later to wordpress when I start my business. I let you know. Anyways will be posting really soon!

It has begun!!

So I'm wondering where Beautiful is....

it's all quite....

and this is what I found.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"

 I put her in her bouncy chair while I vacuumed the room.

I tried to make a point by letting her cry.

But in the end I know it's not her fault.

The boys shouldn't have left food in the room!

I gave her a kiss (or ten) and said "I love you!"

I know this will not be the first time I see her making messes.

Yummy! Raspberries!! & the Princess sleeping

Fresh Raspberries from Grandma's Garden!

They are so JUICY!! 

Princess & the Pea

Seriously my baby can only sleep on Plush.

So our family goes out of our way to put a thick down comforter

into her crib for her to take her nap. 

At night she sleeps in bed with me

on the memory foam. My man isn't here

with me so she keeps me company in the bed.

So adorable!!

Proud DivaMom: Beautiful Starting to Stand!!

Age: 7 months

Status: Standing by herself

kinda....

She doesn't even know she standing cause

it's always when she is playing with something.

But only the past couple days she has been

trying to stand straight from the ground. 

But is the queen of pulling herself up from anywhere.

DivaMom MustHave: Incoco Nail Polish Applica

Incoco.com

I love these!! My dad got them for my sister Tiffany and it was awesome.

Let me tell you bout the first time as a mom trying to paint my nails. I remember I laid my baby down for a nap and said I would do my nails really fast. Okay so they were all done, but when she woke up and I had to pick her up and play with her, the polish smudged. And then I did the dishes and it slide off on some nails. Honestly hated it. I didn't want to go to a salon and pay to get manicures for $20 that only last like a week. And I don't really do acrylic or gel nails because it makes my nails weak and my man just likes natural nails better than fake nails. lol. I think he hates everything that's fake. 

So when I first tried the pink glitter manicure tips I loved it!!! It just goes right on and I didn't have to wait at all for them to dry. And it doesn't look like those tacky sticker nails. It really looks like professional nail polish. It just takes some practice getting the hang of it.And then I did the Leopard print and loved it too!! It's amazing both the manicure tips and the full nails with so many different options. The price is just under $10 and last up to 2 weeks! 

Here is the video of how easy it is to put it on:

At AGE 24: Are you settled/juststarting/startingover?

I can honestly say that I feel that I have accomplished a lot, but more importantly is that I did have so many experiences that I'm happy to be where I am now as a woman, wifey, and mother.

I think everyone starts to break out on their own at 18 and go to college. Women I would assume marry have babies by 24 and men by maybe 27. At least I can reference that from my parents expect my life to be somewhat the same.

My point is not everyone's life goes that way. I can't judge and I don't know why people have things happen in their life. But I have been starting to see a trend (especially in my generation) where I see women out on the town. Like frequently! Not like every now and then just to kick it with the girls but like enough to where they set aside money and make it part of their budget. lol. 

So what?? Have they not gotten it out of their system?? Here are some ideas of why women my age are still out there trying to party or brawling:

- They got pregnant early in life

- They got married early in life

- Probably dated really fast, got married, had kids, and divorced

- Still single and haven't found the one

I can't help but think to myself, "I'm glad I'm not one of them and I have a great man I come home to." Seriously, sometimes I go out to clubs to realize what I got. And I see those young girls and think that I use to be one of them. lol. I can't lie I use to be that girl out in the middle of the dance floor doing the latest moves, showing off, looking for hot guys and making others jealous. lol. But so done with that. But I can say I had soo much fun doing all of it. And as I get older I don't every have to be curious about what it would have been like. Been there, done that!! As of now I don't even really dress to impress or put on makeup at home. If I do try to impress anyone it's my man. That's all that matters.

What I'm trying to say is that maybe these girls didn't do that and now they feel like they have the money, time or now single they have to put their game on and looking for fun.

If my man left me and I became single again right now, I would probably be at the club looking for another man. I have met every man I have dated at the club even Chris. BUT there is a certain way to find the right man! Maybe in another post I'll list my Searching for the Right Man list according to NatNat. I guess my priorities are just different. 

Anyways I have my fun, lost my sense of innocence but a matured into a greater woman!

Here is my growth my the girlfriends that I have great single day memories with.

My Family 2011

Canada Day

I had put all her pictures on her Facebook page.

We spent Canada at the Cabin riding the new boat Grandpa got, taking the boys tubing, cooking at the fireplace, and having a great time.

Definitely going back soon!

First time eating solids!

Jolly Jumper!!

She loves it

Honestly it's been great being able to stay with my family this summer.

Beautiful has really bonded with all of them.

Especially her Grandma and Aunty Tiffany.

I'm so grateful for them helping me out.

I really can't believe how much she has grown.

She has now just started trying to stand without holding onto anything.

Practice makes perfect.

Christian is finally coming in two weeks. I miss him so much

So lucky to have technology to talk via video.

Keep y'all updated.

Canada!!!

Canada has been so great! I've been working full time both at the dental office and at home. Now I totally respect working moms. It takes alot of energy but more so love. There times when you can get so overwhelmed and just want to lay down but there are things to do and more importantly a baby who wants attention. So like Nike you "JUST DO IT" and keep it moving. I'm so blessed having an amazing family. Beautiful loves her Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunties and Uncles who make her smile every moment.

We have been here for bout 3 weeks and we have bout a month and a half left.

I just really miss my man and want him here already.....

RELATIONSHIP ADVICE: WILL SMITH

If You Marry Your Best Friend, You’re Good
Every man wants to marry his homie, Will explained. A lot of women will impress them, but it’s the one they can always laugh with and be themselves with that will ultimately impress them the most. If you can be yourselves around each other, 100 percent of the time, and they can make you life like no one else can, you’ll never have a dull moment together.

Remind Him of What He Has
When you start to feel that you’re nagging your husband to the point of no return and nothing you’re saying is getting through, Will suggests you try a new approach. Hold him close, look him right in the eyes, and tell him that you love him, you’re right there, and you always will be, BUT you need him to pick his socks up – right now. As Will puts it, it’s important to remind him that your request is coming from a good place, and what you want is a small thing in the grand scheme of things. Um, genius!

All Men Need A Little Space
“If you don’t give your husband thirty minutes to himself when he first gets home he’ll stop coming home,” Will told me, straight up. (You’re thinking, no way, right? I did too!) When I asked Will when a wife was supposed to say her piece, he responded, “anytime after that.” Will reminded me that everyone’s home needs to feel like a happy place, and it won’t if you’re “greeted with negativity” every time you enter the door. Touché Will. Talk about a pause for the cause.

Focus on Balance and Excitement Always
According to Will and Jada’s way of thinking about marriage, maintaining a happy union isn’t just about making time for one another, it’s about making the time count too. Excitement and mystery are everything, he said. Surprise them, let them know you love them, laugh together – whatever it takes to put a smile on their face.

Read more: Will Smith Gives Good Relationship Advice | Necole Bitchie.com

I can say from experience that this is all great advice. Especially giving space. I know that when my man comes home that he has to settle down for bout an hour before asking for help. Just imagine if you just got home and you were asked to clean and cook as soon as you walked in the door and didn't get a second to cool off. So sometimes we need to think of it as if we were in their shoes. And being with someone who is your best friend is truly your soulmate because you will always stand up for them, even over your family. It's not like your marrying your parents, your marrying your best friend to be with everyday. I hope everyone takes this to heart.

Celebrity Mama: Alicia Keys

This was interesting to hear her view on motherhood.

On being a mom
The past year has been incredible; just so many blessings, being able to be a mommy, being able to be a wife and just really finding my center and my place of comfort and knowing myself and feeling really solid. Being a mom is like, spectacular. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had, period. I feel like I’m having more fun than I’ve ever had in my whole life. I feel like I’m definitely more creative. I’m more thoughtful about my plans and the things that I do, so overall everything is like a hundred times better. I’m loving the process and I plan for it to continue to grow as time passes.

On not getting any sleep because of the baby
I never was one to get a lot of sleep anyway, because of the nature of what I do and how much we fly and how much we work. So honestly, I’ll tell Egypt, That’s all you got?! You only got waking up every three hours, that’s it? C’mon! I guess in a way, I was built for it.

In Canada!!

I am so happy to be in Canada staying at my moms and working for my dad at the dental office. I clean chairs after patients. I get to wear scrubs. Mom went crazy shopping for baby again. But hey that's what grandma's are for. Chris asked me does it seem different now that you are home and your a mom? Not really. I still feel like the big sister telling everyone what to do. And my baby is like a sibling but just a baby. My sisters love taking care of her. But not as much as my mom. Beautiful loves everyone by smiling at everyone. I have so many people to see.

The "Homemaker"

Honestly I have always dreamed of being a stay at home mom and raising like 5 kids. I wanted to be the most awesome woman by having everything done and be the most loving wife and mother. I really think it came from my mom and grandma. I was blessed to have mom that stayed at home. And I remember that she had learned so much from my grandma like sewing, cooking, baking, cleaning, etc. I think society has changed its views to become very negative to women that love this lifestyle.

I have come to realize now that I am not fully satisfied with being a full time homemaker. I think it comes from living a blessed life of doing so much in my life at one time. Such as college, work, dancing all at the same time. So I have decided that I will work but I will start my own business that way I have my own schedule. I will reveal later what business I am going into. I have already mentioned it to very close family because I believe words have power. And if you say it then you mean to live up to your word.

Now let me say I admire the skills to be a homemaker because I think those are skills that are slowly diminishing from the home. Which then forces families to pay others to take care of those needs. When you have those skills it allows you do it for yourself. Which makes you more independent. I know of some girls that don't know how to do their own laundry or cook anything. So EMPOWER yourself with some basic skills and maybe learn a little more. I know I want to learn how to make bread. And I love to sew. Wait and see once I get a sewing machine it's on!!

Inspired from the book that I want to get: How to Sew a Button: And other Nifty Things Your Grandmother Knew

Baby"Fat" - Getting my Hot Mama On

So my baby is been out this belly for 6 months now. But the past couple weeks I have been more conscious of my eating and drinking habits. I have also finally gotten the motivation to work out. I don't know what took me so long because it feels great! My goal is to at least work out half an hour and get some circulation in my blood. I don't have like a routine but doing 15 mins of cardio like running or elliptical then some various circuit training.

I know there are many women that use "I had babies" as an excuse to gaining weight. But I want everyone to know it's okay to use that excuse for the time of being overwhelmed by motherhood. But I have come to learn that what you do with your health habits, mothers are THE biggest influence. I would assume that it has to with the fact that we are the ones that not only nurture but also educate both intentionally and unintentionally. I've been blessed with my mother being such a great example for me. As long as I can remember she would get up and work out, then make breakfast all before we left for school. Then she would shower and get set for her day. Although I haven't gotten into that routine yet (I can barely get up before 9) I know I'm working towards it. All I know is that being healthy is one that is extremely important to me. I want to do every activity with my children like basketball, hiking, swimming.

So how to start?

Make small changes.

-I started by drinking more water on purpose. (try look up basic info on soda. Very interesting especially how it affects kids)

- Working out cause my legs were hurting from not doing anything

What inspires you to stay motivated to have healthy habits??

Goodbye Oprah

I have been watching the last episodes of Oprah. I have come to realize that I felt attached to her because I remember when I would come home from school and my mom would tell me what she learned from Oprah. I cried deeply when all the men she had helped go to college came out and she was crying. She has deeply inspired me to push myself to find my purpose in life. That I was born to touch others. Her last episode was exceptional and I will continue to rewatch it when in hard times. Here are the best quotes from that episode.

Best Quotes from the Final Farewell:

On Learning What Love Is
“I am truly amazed that I, who started out in rural Mississippi in 1954 when the vision for a black girl was limited to being either a maid or a teacher in a segregated school, could end up here. It is no coincidence that a lonely little girl who felt not a lot of love, even though my parents and grandparents did the best they could, it is no coincidence that I grew up to feel the genuine kindness, affection, trust and validation from millions of you all over the world. From you whose names I will never know, I learned what love is. You and this show have been the great love of my life.”

On Being Worthy
“…We often block our own blessings because we don’t feel inherently good enough or smart enough or pretty enough or worthy enough. You’re worthy because you are born and because you are here. Your being here, your being alive makes worthiness your birthright. You alone are enough.”

On Embracing Life
Start embracing the life that is calling you and use your life to serve the world.”

On Being Responsibly for Your Life
“Nobody but you is responsible for your life. It doesn’t matter what your mama did; it doesn’t matter what your daddy didn’t do. You are responsible for your life. … You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you’re responsible for the energy that you bring to others.’Please take responsibility for the energy you bring into this space.’”

On Everyone Having a Calling
We are all called. Everybody has a calling, and your real job in life is to figure out what that is and get about the business of doing it. It lights you up and it lets you know that you are exactly where you’re supposed to be, doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing. I want for all of you [...] to live from the heart of yourself. You have to make a living; I understand that. But you also have to know what sparks the light in you so that you, in your own way, can illuminate the world.”

On Never Feeling Superior to Anyone
I learned from the guests on this show, no need to feel superior to anybody. Because whether it’s heroin addiction or gambling addiction or shopping addiction or food addiction, work addiction, the root is all the same. The show has taught me there is a common thread that runs through all of our pain and all of our suffering, and that is unworthiness. Not feeling worthy enough to own the life you were created for. Even people who believe they deserve to be happy and have nice things often don’t feel worthy once they have them.

On Listening to God
“The only time I’ve ever made mistakes is when I didn’t listen. So what I know is, God is love and God is life, and your life is always speaking to you. First in whispers. … It’s subtle, those whispers. And if you don’t pay attention to the whispers, it gets louder and louder. What I’ve gleaned from this show: Whispers are always messages, and if you don’t hear the message, the message turns into a problem. And if you don’t handle the problem, the problem turns into a crisis. And if you don’t handle the crisis, disaster. Your life is speaking to you. What is it saying?”

On Being Rejected
“When we went national, I remember at the time, Roger King told me that one station manager said that he’d rather put a potato in a chair in his market than have a big black girl with a funny name. And in spite of that, from Memphis to Macon, from Pittsburgh to Pensacola, from New York to New Orleans, you all let me in.”

On Energy

"I want you to be responsible for the energy you bring around me."

21st Century Reality Check: Relationships & Motherhood

Now that I have been working on different projects & listening to others... I've been learning that there are so many people that feel lost. There are two things that I enjoy talking about with others: Relationships & Motherhood. But I think that people have this perception that it's easy!! They first get into it and then don't realize that it's not what they thought. I know very few people that I admire because I know they did it right. Or at least I see certain behaviors that show they are a Real couple. Not to say I have the most perfect relationship. We have conflict...conflict is good because it helps you learn how to work things out. But what I'm saying is there are certain things that need to be evaluated with yourself and your partner. So I definitely feel like I want to talk about it and see what y'all think about.

I love this.

The world is becoming illiterate!

Therefore it is up to you to BECOME MORE LITERATE!!

Pick up a book...a Fiction

to build your imagination...making pictures in your head.

I do love my Self Improvement books

but I know that every now and then I have

to connect to my inner-child.

I know people are in college or so busy...

But reading helps build your brain

and also helps us have a connection with others.

I have chosen to read a classic:

Count down to Oprah's Farewell

I honestly can't believe there will be NO MORE OPRAH SHOW!!

I will be watching her last episodes.

Later maybe do a memoir for her.

Proud Dad

Story to Remember: Deb saving a baby.

My mom called me I think two weeks ago to tell me about Osama bin Laden. But that same day she told me that Deb, my stepdad had saved a baby at the airport. It brought a tear to my eye. Here it is in his own words.

ME: I HATE COOKING!!!

I seriously HATE cooking!!

I'm okay and at least somehow feed my man.

I hate grocery shopping for meals.

I seem to cook the same meals EVERY SINGLE WEEK!!

If I could afford it, I would have family cook.

Let me just let you know that I CAN BAKE!!

And with groceries getting more expensive in Hawaii

I have a hard time getting all the ingredients.

Well I hope this website Allrecipes.com

can help me out.

MUST READ: Etiquette For a Lady

I Have Been SEARCHING For YOU for 2 WEEKS!!!

I FOUND YOU!!

Etiquette for a Lady is a MUST READ!!!

As quoted "what people don't seem to get is that these aren't RULES in the technical sense of the word. this is all just stuff that our mothers taught us- or, at least, should have taught us- about being a functioning, respectable modern woman who other little girls can look up to being. it's not about putting restrictions or limits or even rules on anyone, it's about keeping the class in a society that is very quickly loosing it. people misunderstand what it MEANS to be 'classy'. you can only go by your actions and your words- and if you throw the idea of class and lady-likeness to the wind because of some notion of ultra-feminism that takes offense to ideals and basic morals; well, then, shoving feathers up your butt doesn't make you a chicken. you can do what you want, but my momma taught me better."

Man's View: Guide to Making it work: LA Edition

When you meet her, ask her for her name, I know it seems to simple, but you would be surprised how original that is…no clever come-ons, no re arranging the alphabet just Hello, I’m so and so, I just wanted to introduce myself.

We have all made mistakes, wearing hers like a mirror, will make you disgusting to look at; let it go…and let her move on, the way you would like people to let you

When you kiss her, try not to still be texting as your lips lock

Phones off at dinner; this one, can literally save the whole relationship

Keep the Internet…out of your lives; this goes for both men and women
Public opinion, public commentary, other peoples uneducated thoughts have never helped a couple grow stronger, and they never will!

Get tested, there is nothing more beautiful, then doing something your embarrassed about, for the sake of true and genuine concern for both your safety

Guys, your straight male friends…will call you gay, for wanting to hang out with a woman, instead of them…I know it makes no sense…excuse them, they are lonely and think its gay you found happiness.

I know you know her ex, don’t bring him up. Picking scabs is for children, not adults who are trying to build love out of shards of broken mirrors

The day you slip and call her a “bitch” will bring you one step closer to beating your insecurities into her cheek bones…so don’t, under any circumstance, ever.

I know you think you’re famous, but never forget she is your biggest, and sometimes, only fan.

Also in regards to your celebrity, it is okay to be seen in public, blaming it on “you don’t like people talking about you guys” is lame…and an insult to her intelligence.

Get a job, I know this ones tricky…but if your art isn’t paying for your livelihood, you haven’t earned the luxury of being an artist for a living so I repeat

Get a Job Baptize the day in sweat; there is nothing low, or dishonorable about a hard days work. I promise you, you will look more like a man to her, than you ever did sitting on the couch waiting for your big break.

Silence is golden…
A relationship, consists of two people, Just those two people should know the ins and outs of said relationship. The more people you include, the more likely you wont last.

Just incase you missed it. Get a job

And lastly I know we have adopted lies as a second slang, but try to speak the truth…it will save you the stress of not getting caught. Its much easier to have nothing to catch in the first place.

Dedicated to my MOM

I don't say too much how much I love my mom!!!

You know when I was a teenager we use to fight ALL BECAUSE OF ME!!

I thought she was so mean and didn't understand me at all.

I was rebel and did everything

she didn't want me to do (except drinking and drugs). lol.

But I will always remember that no matter how mad she was at me

she would always say

"I still love you."

Even to this day when we talk about how frustrated

we are about our own families she says

"You just keep loving them."

She has taught me that even those closest to you like your partner,

children, siblings are only human and will make

their own choices because of their own desires.

But you have to be the stronger person and be there

to love them even if they don't know better.

LOVE IS: Loving them with their strengths and weaknesses,

achievements and mistakes, you just keep loving them.

My mom is now my best friend as I call her all the time to keep h

er updated but more importantly to get her advice. Love you mom!

5 years friends, 2 years lovers...Happy Anniversary

This will be one of the few posts that I will share

my love for my man.

The few people that are extremely close to me know

the journey I have gone through with him.

He is my best friend, lover, and my everything.

I am so proud of him and support anything he wants to do.

I admire that he respects me, still sprung by me

(which surprises me every now and then)

and really values my feelings and opinions.

We work together trying to build our future dreams.

We are so happy that our families support both of us.

I had named a star for him for our anniversary.

Let me share a small preview of our journey...

2008: Friends for 2 years and he was moving to Texas

after he had retired from the military. I was sad... but...

2009: He decided that Hawaii was were he had to be. We were still friends.

He had to figure out his life but I stood by his side knowing

things would work out for him somehow.

I asked him to be my date for my Debutant Ball for BBG.

May 4, 2009: Officially yours! I came back from Canada and he wanted

to be my man! Yay!! Our single days were over!

We were a couple to take over the town. Big dreams!

2010: Then our life took a turn for the better.

We were expecting a baby girl.

What was shocking was that we both had the same

idea in our heads what we already wanted to name her.

We knew times would be hard,

but we would always be there for each other.

November 30, 2010: Beautiful was born! She has brought us closer

together. We can't think of our lives without her. She brings smiles to our faces.

Love is always here.

2011: We still here. May we always be together.

I love you babe!

What's going on???

Well a lot has been going on in my life. Let me first say I am extremely blessed by God.

He has blessed me with the perfect man that was made for me. I will probably go more into that later next week when our Anniversary comes up!

God has given me such a wonderful baby that is Growing so FAST! Sometimes I laugh at her thinking she is the biggest weirdo & I know she gets it from me. I sometimes look at her & can't believe she is my baby. She is extremely smart, advanced, fun, happy, shy, & most importantly healthy. She can't stay still with me but totally chills with her dad. Sometimes she looks at her daddy like she has this little crush on him by looking away and smiling. It's adorable. If you didn't already didn't know Beautiful has her own Facebook page. Just search "Beautiful Fa'amauia." That page is mainly made for my dad & mom but definitely so all her family & friends can keep update on my lil' monster.

Things that I have been doing lately:

-Started to do my own journal.

There things I will write online via Facebook, Twitter, Blog, Tumblr, etc. that share a lil' bit of me. But I'm starting to realize sharing to much of myself can make me lose myself. Also there too many things that I feel that either hurt or offend others. I guess it's to really vent out. Sometimes I have angry, negative feelings, but I truly feel those are things that should be personal. I don't like it when people use FB or whatever online outlet to vent out negative feelings. What you put out to the world will always be permanent! You can't take it back. (Unless your smart enough to delete it). I also always felt like I have multiple sides to me and I know this because I have so many outlets that share different things that don't really relate. Like things are screened because I know who is looking at it. Everything is put on consciously. Which is sad that I feel like I can't share my true self. But I truly think that like I said earlier it's better so I don't lose myself & more importantly I don't need everyone's comments & judgements. So Honestly you will never know the full real Nat Nat. And on a side note I will eventually will be doing some adventures like starting my own businesses where image is everything. Even my online image. And you never know if my man will become famous, things will change to more private.

-Just deleted my Twitter account

I thought Twitter was important to connect. But honestly having a personal twitter is actually feel like work. Like I honest feel like it's NOT worth it to have continually write something to keep followers. I really only knew maybe 10 people on there. I did like staying informed with info but now that these blogs and companies are making Facebook pages, I'd rather have that. And I just think it's ridiculous that these news people can say they got their info based off some celebrity's tweet. I don't want somebody to reference me from a tweet. And the whole thing bout replying to people by @ while your followers can see it. I think celebrities do it to show who they connect to by having a back and forth convo. Only thing I like bout twitter is the promoting of news and events. I think I just perfer the FB comments to each other. Like Oprah said "So many people are into the Celebradom of becoming famous." Like this whole idea of having everyone getting credit. What ever happened to giving credit to actual talent??? That's why I hate reality shows!! Especially about Housewives or families. I guess I value privacy & I think it promotes pop culture of women always fighting. Maybe I'll post on this later...

-Have Tumblr

You don't know what that is, look it up. I get obsessed look at some people's Tumblr. It gives me inspiration on everything. Facebook me if you want my link.

-Still Supporting my Man

Self-explanatory.

-Finally came up with my Business Concept

I don't want to give this away because I don't want to jinx it. But I have officially voiced it to my man. Which means that words have power behind what you say. So never say things just because but mean it. I'm getting excited because I got my desk all set up. Just talked today to the lady I want to do my internship with in a few months. And I've been doing lots of research and things to get it together. My body is just feeling so much excitement.

- Dealing with Past Relationships

Everyone grows and moves forward. And I feel that yes I have made bad mistakes to people. Really did bad things to people even those I were friends with or men I had relationships with. But one night a couple weeks ago I talked to my man bout things we had gone through & I have now come to peace knowing that everything was meant to be either as a learning lesson and let go or to help build it up. I was blessed to reconnect with a girlfriend that I had hurt 2 year ago. I'll just say that I'm very happy that we have reconnected and can build from where we left off. It was good to catch up. As for the men. They said hi. Lol. I don't want to talk bout it cause one is my best friend and that's another story but I'll talk bout it in a different way later. It will do with used to being the "other woman." I think every girl goes through that. The other ex said hi via twitter. Honestly that was the only way he could say hi. Now that's cut too. Sorry. My man is more important than past relationships.

If you read this whole post....thanks. lol. It was long. Promise my new posts won't ever be this long again!!

MINDOPENER: What happened to Dating?

I read this and was touched. I remember when I was dating. And he always wanted things private.

I do remember trying to understand what his texts were saying.

Just know that seeing someone and making a call is more GROWN and respectful

than a text. Texting should be a last resort, even among friends.

I was shooting a scene in my new film, No Strings Attached, in which I say to Natalie Portman,

“If you miss me. you can’t text, you can’t email, you can’t post it on my Facebook wall. If you really miss me, you come and see me.”

I began to think of all of the billions of intimate exchanges sent daily via fingers and screens, bouncing between satellites and servers. With all this texting, emailing, and social networking, I started wondering, are we all becoming so in touch with one another that we are in danger of losing touch?

It used to be that boy met girl and they exchanged phone numbers. Anticipation built. They imagined the entire relationship before a call ever happened. The phone rang. Hearts pounded. “Hello?” Followed by a conversation that lasted two hours but felt like two minutes and would be examined with friends for two weeks. If all went well, a date was arranged. That was then.

Now we exchange numbers but text instead of calling because it mitigates the risks of early failure and eliminates those deafening moments of silence. Now anticipation builds. Bdoop. “It was NICE meeting u” Both sides overanalyze every word. We talk to a friend, an impromptu Cyrano: “He wrote nice in all caps. What does that mean? What do I write back?” Then we write a response and delete it 10 times before sending a message that will appear 2 care, but not 2 much. If all goes well, a date will be arranged.

Whether you like it or not, the digital age has produced a new format for modern romance, and natural selection may be favoring the quick-thumbed quip peddler over the confident, ice-breaking alpha male. Or maybe we are hiding behind the cloak of digital text and spell-check to present superior versions of ourselves while using these less intimate forms of communication to accelerate the courting process. So what’s it really good for?

There is some argument about who actually invented text messaging, but I think it’s safe to say it was a man. Multiple studies have shown that the average man uses about half as many words per day as women, thus text messaging. It eliminates hellos and goodbyes and cuts right to the chase. Now, if that’s not male behavior, I don’t know what is. It’s also great for passing notes. there is something fun about sharing secrets with your date while in the company of others. think of texting as a modern whisper in your lover’s car.

Sending sweet nothings on Twitter or Facebook is also fun. in some ways, it’s no different than sending flowers to the office: You are declaring your love for everyone to see. Who doesn’t like to be publicly adored. Just remember that what you post is out there and there’s some stuff you can’t un-see.

But the reality is that we communicate with every part of our being, and there are times when we must use it all. When someone needs us, he or she needs all of us. There’s no text that can replace a loving touch when someone we love is hurting.

We haven’t lost romance in the digital age, but we may be neglecting it. In doing so, antiquated art forms are taking on new importance. The power of a hand-written letter is greater than ever. It’s personal and deliberate means more than an email or text ever will. It has a unique scent. It requires deciphering. But, most important, it’s flawed There are errors in handwriting, punctuation, grammar, and spelling that show our vulnerability. And vulnerability is the essence of romance. It’s the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, “This is me, and I’m interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more importantly, all that I am not.”
