Brothers is a family drama movie with war background that’s adapted from the successful Danish movie (Brodre), which was released in 2004.

He has created several movies with same character, such as ‘My Left Foot, In America’ and ‘In the Name of Father’.

Some myths about ED

December 14th, 2009 by turisuna 6 comments »

Lots of men worry about Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and secretly trying to find out the answers about ED. However, in their searching, men often get wrong answers about this problem. In a survey entitled Asia Pacific Sexual Health and Overall Wellness (APSHOW), there are some myths about ED among men. Find out what kind of myths that men usually believe:

1. Difficult to erect means that man loses his sex interest or barren?
Actually, some men with ED still have passion and desire to get orgasm and semen ejaculation. ED is related with the ability to maintain the erection; it doesn’t mean that he loses his sexual desire.

2. Man is always ready and wants to have sex?
In fact, this assumption is not always true. In real life, physical exhaustion or think hard about job and family can affect man’s desire and his sexual activity. Being in the right frame of mind is very important in stimulating man’s sexual response.

3. Only a man who gets bad influence from the ED?
It’s not true; the fact is woman as a partner also involved in this problem. Women can feel the impact of ED. The tendency to avoid sexual contact often makes woman feels unloved, unwanted, and unattractive anymore. Man’s failure to communicate his problem about ED can cause depression and anxiety to woman.

4. “A real man” can’t get ED?
When man gets older and there are many changes in behavior, habit and belief, at one time man will experience ED. If this problem happens only occasionally, such as when you are tired, you don’t need to be panic. But if this problem persists and lasts longer, then you should check up to doctor because this problem may affect your personal life with your partner.

5. Searching for help to heal ED should trough some embarrassing and difficult tests?
You can consult with the expert or doctor about the most appropriate and comfortable healing method for you. Some men have difficulty to articulate their problems, especially a problem that’s related with their sexual life. ED is not only a physical problem, but it’s also related with man’s “silent culture” about his sexual problem.

6. ED is a common problem in the aging process?
Indeed you don’t need to be panic about this problem, but ED is not a normal problem for man at any age. Perhaps ‘the senior man’ needs longer time to be stimulated or needs more physical stimulation in sexual activity, but it doesn’t mean that it’s normal if ‘the senior man’ experiencing ED.

7. ED is in your head?
Indeed ED gets many attentions from the psychological field, because ED usually related with man’s psychological conditions such as anxiety, stress, guilt, fatigue, problems in relationship, and depression. But now it’s found if 80% of ED problems also happen because of physical problem, therefore it’s very important for man to maintain his physical health.

8. ED will pass without doing anything?
The fact is, ED is a medical problem that requires some treatments processes. It’s same with the treatments that you should do when you want to heal hypertension or other health problems. You should do some treatments to heal ED, if you ignore this condition without doing anything, ED may cause psychological consequences, such as feel shame, lost, or insecure.

Seduce a man through his five senses

five sense

Maybe you know that man is a visual creature, but actually you can also stimulate a man through his five senses. You don’t have to use complicated way, using a simple way can also make him passionate.

1. Sight
Some researchers from the Rochester University, New York, studied 149 men to measure the level of man’s interest toward woman. They used a photograph with different colors of frames. The frames’ colors were white, gray, blue, green and red. The result showed that most of men are more interested to the photograph with red frame. Usually red is related with heart, love, valentine, and lingerie. Red means sexy. So if you want to seduce him trough his sight, you can choose red for your lingerie, dress, or shoes. You will catch his attention with that color ;)

2. Smell
You don’t need to spray lot of perfumes to your body, because your body’s natural scent has a role to enhance the passion. According to Sharon Moalem, PhD, the author of book entitled ‘How Sex Works’, ‘All of us have different kind of scent and unique’. The body’s scent has important role to trigger the passion. So you don’t have to confuse to choose different kind of perfumes or smear lot of lotion to all parts of your body before you are making love with him, as long as your body is clean and you don’t have problem with body odor, your body’s natural scent could become an aphrodisiac for him.

3. Taste
Open a box of chocolate, putting a chocolate to his mouth will become a sensual thing for him. Chocolate can release serotonin hormone in his brain that can make him stimulated. Serotonin is a hormone that induces the sense of calm, pleasure, and satisfaction; it is the same with the feeling when you are falling in love.

4. Hearing
One of man’s complains toward woman is because woman doesn’t make any voice when she reaches satisfaction. You don’t need to scream loudly, but soft sigh like ‘mmmmh’ or ‘yes honey’ will be able to make him more confident and excited.

5. Touch
It’s not only woman who likes to be hugged, actually man also likes if someone hug him. When man gets a warm hug or touch from his couple, his brain will release oxytocin hormone (Some people call it as love hormone :P ). The feeling that occurs because of the oxytocin hormone can strengthen the bond between you and him, it can also help to make a better sexual activity between couple.

Ninja Assassin

December 11th, 2009 by turisuna 14 comments »

Apparently Hollywood movie industry still becomes a big magnet for some artists all around the world, not only from America, but also from Europe and Asia. But unlike the artists from Europe, some Asian artists who try their luck in Hollywood industry apparently should work harder to get a prestigious role in the movie. Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chow Yun-Fat are some artists from Asia who have proven that conquering Hollywood is not an easy job.

This time, another Asian actor will also try the Hollywood’s tough industry. He is an actor and singer from South Korea who’s usually called as ‘Rain’. Actually this is not the first Hollywood movie for Rain, previously he has played in the anime adaptation movie entitled ‘Speed Racer’, however ‘Ninja Assassin‘ is Rain’s first Hollywood movie that put him as the main actor.

This movie is directed by James McTeigue, it tells about the ninja’s live who work as assassin. They get exclusive training for years in order to become a tough and powerful ninja. One of the best ninja assassins in the world is Raizo (Rain). Since he was a child, Raizo has joined a mysterious organization that has created lot of powerful ninjas. That organization’s name is Ozunu Clan, that’s led by Lord Ozunu (Kosugi).

But Raizo’s loyalty to Ozunu Clan finally ended after his best friend is murdered by that organization. Raizo decides to leave that organization even though he has to hide from the chase of some ninjas from Ozunu Clan who try to kill him.

Meanwhile in Berlin, a Europol agent, Mika Coretti (Harris), is doing an investigation toward the death of some politicians in Germany that has relation with the illegal money circulation in that country. The investigation brings Mika on a fact that there is an underground network behind that all mysterious murders.

Ignoring the warning from her boss, Ryan Maslow (Miles), Mika keeps doing her investigation until finally she becomes the next target of the secret organization that has raised Raizo for years; the ‘Ozunu Clan’.

Feeling disturbed, Ozunu Clan sends a team to kill Mika. But unfortunately the mission that’s led by Takeshi (Yune) wouldn’t go smoothly because Raizo tries to intervene the mission by saving Mika from the assassins.

Now Raizo and Mika should cooperate and trust each other, they realize that Ozunu Clan will not stop until both of them die. Raizo and Mika have the same goal; they want to destroy Ozunu Clan forever.

With the help of strong and experienced team, Rain’s debut in Hollywood industry seems will be going well, however, to get the top position of box office chart wouldn’t easy, because it seems that the ninjas should deal with the vampires on the Twilight Saga movie: ‘New Moon’ :P

Long distance relationship, is it for you?

December 10th, 2009 by turisuna 2 comments »

People know that Long Distance Relationship (LDR) is not easy to do; many challenges must be faced by couples who undergo this kind of relationship. However, although it is a difficult thing, but it does not mean that LDR is impossible to do, there are some couples who can face all the obstacles and finally go to altar for married.
But does LDR fit for you? If you have these following characteristics, it means that LDR is not for you:

1. You love the intimacy
Holding hands, hugging each other, and smelling his perfume are some interesting things that you like to do when you are with him. You will miss him so much if you can’t do that. Although you can see his face from the webcam and say how much you love him, still it feels something is missing and incomplete. You will feel envious every time you see other couples hugging, kissing, and making a romantic date.

2. You don’t know what you want to achieve from the relationship.
In order to succeed with long distance relationship, both of you should realize if this long distance relationship wouldn’t last forever. If you don’t have a plan to meet and stay with him in the same place one day, you don’t need to bother spending a lot of money to meet with him who stays in the other part of world.

3. You are not good in building communication.
His physical absence in your life makes you miss him so much. Unfortunately you are not good in expressing your emotion and thought through words. If you meet him directly, you can hold him without saying any words. This can not be done if you should face him from the phone. It is impossible to pick up the phone without saying anything. If you want to get serious with him, you have to learn how to build better communication, if you don’t; your long distance relationship will be boring.

4. The trust is still an issue.
It can not be denied if the trust on loyalty is the most difficult matter to be dealt in long distance relationship. Can you guarantee that you will still faithful to him when there is another man tries to approach you? Or can you believe that he won’t approach another woman when you are not with him? If both of you can’t trust and loyal on each other, it’s better if you stop this long distance relationship.

5. You are not willing to sacrifice.
If you are undergoing a long-distance relationship, you will have a different life with other couples. To talk with him on phone or chat with him through internet, you have to adjust your schedule with him, and this is not an easy thing to do. Maybe you should sacrifice your sleeping time to be able to talk with him, or even you should keep your YM opens when you are working. Whatever it is, long-distance relationship requires more sacrifice from both of you.

6. You are a spoiled woman
You like if he is spoiling you and treating you like a princess. He’ll do whatever you want and full fill whatever you need. When he’s away from you, you will feel lost, you don’t know to whom you can be spoiled. It’s impossible if you spoil with another man, because it absolutely will break the relationship between you and your boyfriend.
