When in Rome

January 28th, 2010 by turisuna No comments »

When the Valentine’s Day is coming, there are many romantic movies released in theater, one of them is ‘When in Rome‘. This movie is a free adaptation of a classic movie that was released in 1954; ‘Three Coins in the Fountain’.

The story of this movie is fairly cliché, it tells about a successful woman who’s not lucky enough with her love life. Beth Harper (Bell) is a beautiful and successful woman who lives in the middle of the glamorous of New York City. She does not have any problem with her career and finance, and she is a beautiful and happy single woman. Until she meets with her ex who’s getting engage with other woman soon. She realizes that when it comes to love, she doesn’t have too much luck.

When Harper attends her sister’s wedding in Rome, she meets with a handsome reporter, Nick Beamon (Duhamel), who has the same love fate with her. However, although Harper feels interested with Nick, she chooses to challenge the myth of Rome about the love fountain. It is said that if someone threw a coin into the fountain, then he will find his love, so Harper thinks if she took some coins from the fountain, maybe there are some magics will come above of her. Unfortunately Harper doesn’t realize if there is another myth about the fountain, it’s said if she took the coin from the fountain, then the man who threw the coin will be crazy about her.

Harper takes four coins from the fountain, then the miracle starts to work, Harper gets some unexpected surprises when she returns to New York. Some unknown men come up and beg for her love; even they do it in odd and extreme ways. Amid the confusion, Nick comes back into Harper’s life, but this time she wonders about Nick’s love, whether this is a true love or it just the effect of the coin that she has taken from the fountain.

This movie is the newest movie of Mark Steven Johnson, who has worked on Daredevil (2003) and Ghost Rider (2007). Kristen Bell is the main magnet of this movie, some of her romantic-comedy movies got pretty good position at the box office chart and maybe this movie will also get the same fate with her previous movies.

Note:
In Rome there is Trevi Fountain which is believed will bring love for someone who threw coins into the fountain, at least there are 3.000 Euros worth of coins that thrown by the tourists every day.

Be careful, emotion affair can be stronger

January 21st, 2010 by turisuna No comments »

You love him, both of you have the same feelings. You like to be with him and feel comfortable to chat with him, and he also feels the same way. You like to tease and make some jokes with him. You always try to come up with the best fashion when having lunch with him, or hang out together at coffee shop. You often send messages to him just to ask what he is doing now.

‘But the problem is, he is not your husband’, and your husband doesn’t know about this man, whether he is your ex-boyfriend in college, facebook friend, or your colleague at the office. Everything starts from unpredictable meeting and warm chat as a friend, and finally it continue to be an affair.

Even though you are not physically involved with this man, but you have emotionally involved with him. Make no mistake, emotional relationship could be long lasting rather than physical relationships. According to Peggy Vuaghan, the author of Monogamy Myth, the emotional affair is a form where you have an emotional relationship with the opposite sex that you hide his existence from your couple.

Affair is a form of betrayal against someone even without sex involvement. Affair occurs when there is physical and emotional relationship between two persons, and there are times and attentions are given to the opposite sex who is not your spouse. But what makes it a problem, there’s no sexual involvement in it?
A marriage will be tarnished by a third person. Most people are able to recover from emotional affair, but a lie that you have done to your couple won’t be forgotten. Maybe your husband can forgive you, but certainly he will still remember your lies. Can you imagine what it would be if a marriage without trust?
On the other hand, you will ruin the friendship because you do many things together with him rather than with your other friends.

The temptation to call this ‘other man’ is also big, because some social networking sites will allow you to track him down. When you imagine your ex-boyfriend, you can simply find him through virtual world. You can click on facebook, twitter, or Friendster. Relationship through virtual world will be faster, more intense, and easier.

According to Jessica Leroy, the founder and director of the Center for Psychology for Women, people who are emotionally involved in affair often don’t feel guilty to their spouse. It understandably, because there is no physical or sexual relationship between those two persons, so they consider it as an ordinary friendship.

So is it the end of your marriage? Probably it’s not. But if you have created a strong emotional connection with another person, with or without sex, your spouse will be hurt. The Settlement will be more difficult when the relationship grows further.

So what is the solution? Step back slowly, don’t be too close to him just like before, you don’t need to answer all of his sms, email, or phone call. You should realize that you can’t have intense relationship with him because you have already had spouse. The deeper your have emotional relationship with him, the more difficult for you to stay away from him, so you should end it immediately.

Get healthy heart by doing sex regularly

January 16th, 2010 by turisuna 3 comments »

The benefit of sex for human’s health doesn’t need to be doubted anymore, there are always new studies reveal about the advantage of sex. The study from American Journal of Cardiology, for example, they say that men who have sex at least twice a week can avoid the risk of heart disease. The result of study shows that men who have sex regularly will have 45% lower risk of heart disease rather than those who have sex only for once a month or even less. The study that involving 1,000 people indicates that sex gives heart-protective effect for man, but the study doesn’t examine whether the same effect will also happen to women.

Each of years, approximately 270,000 people in the UK suffer from heart attack, besides that, the coronary heart disease becomes the greatest killer in that country. Although for long time sex has been known as a profitable activity for mental and physical health, but there’s only small scientific evidence that shows if regular sex brings substantial benefits for serious diseases such as heart diseases.

Some scientists from the New England Research Institute, Massachusetts, made a note of the sexual activity of men aged 40 to 70 who were involved in long-term research entitled “Massachusetts Male Aging Study”, which began in 1987. After 16 years, the participants of that survey were asked about how often they had sex, and then checked for the symptoms of heart disease. That research also took a note of the other factors, such as age, weight, blood pressure, and also cholesterol. The research showed that men who had sex at least twice a week had lower risk of heart disease rather than those who had sex for once a month or less.

In their report, the researchers said that sex brought advantage for the health of emotion and physical. Men who had desire to do sex more often, and were able to fulfill his desire were included into the healthier group. Sex in some form of physical activities had components that could directly protect the health of blood vessels and heart. The men who had regular sex activity, possibly had a sportive intimate relationship; it could improve the quality of health by lowering levels of stress and social support.

Six types of cheater

January 12th, 2010 by turisuna No comments »

According to Dr. Doug Weiss, the president of American Association for Sex Addiction Therapy, and also the founder of counseling site; SexAddict.com, there are 6 types of cheating men. Do you like to know? Check these following things:

1. The hunter
He is smart, successful, and good communicator. He sparks sexual energy or certain narcissistic that can attract women. He is usually looking for someone who vulnerable, loner, or someone who also addicted to sex so he can enjoy quickie sex. He has clear pickup lines to trap his victims. But he won’t seek a woman who also a hunter, because she has opportunity to hurt him. The example of this type is Tiger Woods, according to Dr. Weiss, Tiger Woods looks for a certain type of woman; young, beautiful, slim, and willing to do anything for him. The victims are not a millionaire, not sport star, or actress, none of these women who have power. The point is they are not a threat.

2. The hero
This type of cheater usually pretends to help the victims who are experiencing difficulties. He will approach his victims while pretending to be a good listener for the victim’s problem. Of course the victims will feel appreciated and understood, and in short time the victims will trust this hero. This hero will accept the trust with open arms, because it means that he gets the opportunity to get closer to the victims. Even after he is able to ‘conquer’ the women, he still gets a label of ‘nice guy’. This hero likes to hear women adoring him.

3. The victim
This type of cheater is the opposite of the hero type. He plays as the victim. He will moan to the women that he never been noticed and appreciated by his wife, or his couple doesn’t want to have sex with him. This man pretends to look for someone who can help him out of the problem. He will make his victims feel pity on his problem; actually this is the way how he traps his victims. This type of man likes to manipulate women through compassion, he always complains that he is unhappy with his marriage, and this effort will convince the women to sleep with him.

4. The opportunist
This type of cheater doesn’t have certain target; he can accept someone who is 20 years younger or older, fat or thin, rich or poor etc. He feels happy to be wanted and desired by any woman, so he will accept enthusiastically every woman who wants him. He doesn’t care about the victim’s appearance or about her background; as long as there is a chance, he will get it. The opportunist type is looking for woman in any conditions.

5. The professional
This is typical of cheater in general. This type is not looking for love, he doesn’t care with the victim’s needs and desire, or he will not care about what the victim thinks about him. Because actually he has a normal life, he has a good wife, sweet kids, and a settle job. But he can become ‘a naughty boy’ when he wants it, therefore he tries to hide all the proofs from his action. His principle is “If no one knows, no one will be hurt.”

6. The worshiper
This is the most specific cheater. He just wants a certain type of woman that rarely can be found. Even he dares to take a risk to get closer to the woman that he wants. He can divide his heart, and he feels that he has a right to cheat his couple. This man makes an affair to satisfy the urge of certain type of woman. The criteria can be the ethnic, size, or whatever that he can’t find in his partner.
