the chemistry of love

When sparks fly between two people, we’re quick to say they have "chemistry." Not everyone realizes that such couples literally have do have chemistry–it’s what’s behind those sweaty palms, the jumpy stomach, thumping heart, and nervous jitters. Chemistry also contributes to that warm, comfortable feeling you get from being with a longtime partner.

In the mid-1960’s, psychologist Dorothy Tennov surveyed 400 people about what it’s like to be in love. Many of her respondents talked about fear, shaking, flushing, weakness, and stammering. Indeed, when human beings are attracted to one another, it sets off quite a chain reaction in the body and brain. But there’s a perfectly logical explanation to those intense feelings.

The most well-known love-related chemical is phenylethylamine — or "PEA" — a naturally occurring trace ammine in the brain. PEA is a natural amphetamine, like the drug, and can cause similar stimulation. This natural upper contributes to that kick-up-your-heels, on-top-of-the-world feeling that attraction can bring, and gives you the energy to stay up all night talking to a new love. Sometimes this energy translates into the triple-espresso jitters; other times it simply keeps you wide-eyed and alert long past the time when you’d usually be yawning. "I always get excited about somebody who can keep me up late at night," says Elan Freydenson of New Jersey. "I really value my sleep."

Ngayon O Bukas Man

Nandyan ka palagi, niyayakap ako
Nandyan ka palagi, hinahagkan ako
Di ko pinapansin mga rosas mo
Pero ang totoo, di ko kayang wala ka

Ngayon o bukas, mahal na mahal na mahal kita
Hindi ko rin kaya nang hindi ka kasama
Init nang dibdib mo’y hinahanap hanap ko
Maniwala ka sa sasabihin ko
Ngayon o bukas man, mahal kita

Nandyan ka palagi, nakaantabay
umaalalay sa bawat hakbang
Pero hindi di ito ramdam nang pusong tabang
Sana hindi pa huli ang lahat… ooh ooh

Ngayon O bukas, mahal na mahal na mahal kita
Di ko rin kaya nang hindi ka kasama
Init nang dibdib mo’y hinahanap hanap ko
Maniwala ka sa sasabihin ko

Ngayon O bukas man, mahal… kita…
Sana’y maniwala ka, hah ah ah ah…
hah ah ah aahh..

Ako ay nagkulang
Sana’y pakinggan
Mapapatawad mo pa ba ako, haaaahh..

Ngayon o Bukas, mahal na mahal na mahal kita
Di ko rin kaya nang di ka kasama
Init nang dibdib mo’y hinahanap hanap ko
Maniwala ka sa sasabihin ko
Na ngayon o bukas man, mahal kita.

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow

What Silky Means

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don’t always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don’t have as much going for them as you do. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don’t get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don’t spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you’re snobby or aloof, but you’re just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you’re too busy having fun to care.

What’s Your Name’s Hidden Meaning?

pakiusap

*by ACEL 

Bukas ay may bagong araw
Na sisikat na bahagya ang ningning
Kahit ang ulap nagpapakulimlim
Pilit sumisilip ang gintong liwanag
Sa likod ng tabing

Pakiusap sa’yo kung susulyapan
Na kahit lihim lang
Sana’y may ngiting para sa akin
Pakiusap sa’yo kung lilingon ka man
May maiiwanang buntong-hiningang
May himig ng awit na hatid ng hangin

Tulad ng ngiti mong matipid sumilay
Pilit sumisilay na paminsan minsan
Hindi man malimit, hindi man palagi
Pagka’t ang ngiti mong sumilay sa labi
Ay tulad ng ngiti ng araw
Sa likod ng ulap

Pakiusap sa’yo kung susulyapan
Na kahit lihim lang
Sana’y may ngiting para sa akin
Pakiusap sa’yo kung lilingon ka man
May maiiwanang buntong-hiningang
May himig ng awit na hatid ng hangin
