I stood still like a timid mouse. My hands were sweating and I was trembling inside. Out of no where, he dashed in and bumped into me. I dropped my books clutched by my wet hands. He looks at me, apologizes sympathetically, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, are you here for the installation?&#8221; his gentle words spoke. I stared back at him. I was blank. My tongue was frozen, all I could managed to pull a strength was to nod. &#8220;Let&#8217;s go in then&#8221; and he smiled. I  remembered that smile so sweet,  the dimples so charming, it caught hold of a special place in my heart.<br \/><\/span><br \/>And so it began my journey of meeting men in my life at the age of 15 years old. I&#8217;m a hopeless romantic. 13 years down the road, I still believe in fairy tale stories and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.romanceforeveryone.com\/\">romance is for everyone<\/a>.<br \/>I spent my time listening to father reading me bed time stories like Cinderella, Rapunzel and Snow White and the 7 dwarfs. All icons begin with &#8220;Once a upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess&#8230;&#8221; and ends with &#8220;and they lived happily ever after&#8221;. In between the lines, there was of course, &#8220;a dashing, young prince to save the day&#8221;. In today&#8217;s modern society, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.romanceforeveryone.com\/\">courtship and dating<\/a> journey is far more complex. Having said that, never underestimate the Power Of Attraction. People can do really, really silly things to attract and impress the opposite sex. I&#8217;ve done many of my own and I humor myself all the time thinking back of those silly experiences. The irony is, I am still walking that silly path.<\/p>\n<p>I will soon be celebrating my one year anniversary with my dear blog on 25th October. In July, I&#8217;ve made a pledge to my loyal readers that I will give away my first earned USD100 via blogging. I am here to fulfill that pledge. However, I&#8217;m rather disappointed that there was no response from the readers in stating their wish list to me. Please see <a href=\"http:\/\/doink-justme.blogspot.com\/2007\/07\/it-pays-to-blog.html\">here <\/a>for that pathetic call. Hence, I&#8217;ve decided to completely scrap off the goodies giveaway. Instead, I&#8217;m giving away my USD100 via paypal if you have a paypal ID, alternatively I&#8217;m happy to transfer the money to fellow Malaysians thru Maybank2u . Hang on, there&#8217;s a catch.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping the spark in a relationship is hard work, everyone knows that. There are plenty of ways to keep the fire, the burning passion between two person. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.romanceforeveryone.com\/romantic-ideas\/\">Romantic ideas<\/a> to show your appreciation and adoration to your loved one. I have plenty of ways to <a href=\"www.romanceforeveryone.com\">romance <\/a>my companion. Sadly not many are appreciative. Anyhow, I feel stupid, silly and stumped thinking back of all the silly things I&#8217;ve done to impress a guy. I&#8217;m sure the Power of Attraction strikes a deal with everyone. So, I like to hear your sweet, silly, funny story of what you did to impress, court the opposite gender. The story does not need to have a happy ending. Heck, most of the stupid stuff I did, the guy don&#8217;t even know about it and the admiration just went into dormant mode. Just send me the gest of your courting action. No perfect English is required. I will rewrite the story for you (names will not be disclosed) and I will publish it for the readers to vote. So, again .. a little response please. This is to mark my anniversary, make it memorable for me.<\/p>\n<p>Send your entry to doi_nk@yahoo.com.
