5 THINGS WHEN WATCHING FOOTBALL

world in my mind
World in My Mind - It's not just about Love, Poems, Love Poems, Love Tips, and Breakup.

I'm not a football fanatic. I insprired to write this after watched El Real got big lose against Barca this early morning.


Xavi Hernandes show how football can be played so beautiful in the field, and motivate others to donate goals and cut off Madrid 5-0. Excellent Barca!

5 Things when watching football:

#1. Number First make sure that we know exactly when the right time the football will begin, we could decide to stay up late or wake up in the right time when the match begin coz if that's is your favorite team football.. you not wanna missed every part.

#2. If you can't wake up in the right time and missed to watch your favorite team, make sure that you know when it's gonna replayed or at least you see the record, or simply search the result and browse on the internet.

#3. Control your emotion! It's also for the players in the field who sometimes can't control their emotion when lose.. (be a coach or referee assistant if you wanna manage your favorite team to win hehee jst kidding) It's important coz we could so anger when there are a little bit mistake that done by referee and we not agreed with the decision.

#4. Don't too much in eating snack:D if you the one who always not forget snacks while watching football. I think coffe is a little bit gonna fresh your eyes to keep from sleepy... Remember just not too much ok!

#5. Make sure that you preparing everything if you have daily activities to do in the same day when you stayed up late watch you favorite football team. Take a rest a little bit to refresh your body! or if you have no time to replace your bed time, there are no excuses to keep you on spirit to doing your daily activities at worlk, at home, ...etc!

Keep your good health it's really important thing. We will realized it when we sick, so before we unhealthy take care always our good health.

Bridal Accessory Q&A

Brides have lots of questions when it comes to choosing the right accessories...jewelry, veils, shoes, it can get overwhelming.  But we're here to help.  Here are some of our most frequently asked accessory questions!
















Do I have to wear a veil?
No.  If the thought of wearing a veil makes you unhappy, don't pressure yourself to wear one.  There are lots of veil alternatives now.  Try a birdcage or simple face veil, cocktail hat, fascinator, or flower instead. Everyone will know you're the bride, even if you're not wearing a veil.  If you want to make mom happy and wear a veil, select a simple and elegant veil for the ceremony and switch to something more sparkly and fun for the reception.

Should I keep my veil on all night?
This one is totally up to you.  Most brides opt to remove their veil as it can tend to get caught and tugged on by all those hugging wedding guests.  We recommend removing the veil immediately after your ceremony and formal portraits or after your first dance.

What hand do I wear my bracelet on?
Wear it one which ever hand you are most comfortable with.  No preference?  Then slide that bangle on the right so your ring can get all the attention on the left.

Do I have to wear a necklace?
No.  A necklace can be a nice compliment to a simple or daring neckline, but is not a necessity.   If you prefer big, showstopping earrings, it's best to leave your neck line bare.

Can I wear open toed shoes in the winter?
Absolutely!  There are no rules anymore for closed toe and open toe shoes. Go ahead and show off those strappy sandals in the ballroom in February.  No one will think anything of it.  Still worried?  Opt for a peep toe or d'Orsay back shoe with an open center.  It's the best of both worlds.

Have more questions we didn't answer?
Leave a comment with your question and we'll be happy to answer!

NIGHT

world in my mind
World in My Mind - Love Poems - Night

Night..
So silent
So dark 
Night..
So calm
So cold

The stars blink
Seems to say Good Night!

Don't be sad and keep strong enough
I try to smile even bitter

I'm not alone
I believe I'm not alone..

And soon I'll sleep
Drowning deep in the night

Then dreams hugs me so tight
With so much hope for a better tomorrow

PROCRASTINATION TEMPTATION

world in my mind
Hi Welcome back! It's World in My Mind, here you can find Love, Poems, Love Poems, Love Tips, Breakup, and more. Today post is Procrastination Temptation.. do you know? if you mostly delaying your works, thats means Procrastination tempation starts to approach you hehe.

It's Monday again! Keep on spirit with so much activity that you have to finish today, so much messy things which need to clean up. Sometimes we think to finish it latter, and latter.., coz with looking so much things to finish make us imagine that the all things can't be done to clean up in once momment, to finish in one momment. Procrastination in work, in all aspect things that we do is the easiest way that we often do if we have so much work to do. That's a big temptation to
delay some works, or delaying to finish some works that actually we can finished at that time.

So.. keep on spirit and listen your heart voice that you can finish all things, or at least finish some works at that time, coz more we delay some works to do the more we have so much things that we have to do tomorrow, then we less time and nothing can't be finished at all. Don't waste your time for procrastination temptation. Yes you can!

With Monday spirit, let's together spreading Love to others and make difference. And if you hurry in the road, remember to be safe and "No Texting While Driving". Love your life!

NO TEXTING WHILE DRIVING

world in my mind
Hi Welcome back! It's World in My Mind, here you can find Love, Poems, Love Poems, Love Tips, Breakup, and more.

Today's post I wanna support to voice No Phone Zone! It's also means No Texting while Driving!


Think you have the texting and driving thing down? You do not. Statistics show that talking on the phone or texting while driving is really dangerous.

Please don't text while driving. Recent studies show that texting and driving can take as much as 5 seconds of your time away from the road and have caused dangerous fatal accidents.

Stop the car and let the caller know that you will look at their message at a latter time once you are stopped safely by providing an answer and contact them later. Be safe and love your life!

Find the right things to do to spend time in the weekend it's as the same as we find something fix and match with our fashion style to wear. Fashion style choices is about who we are right?

ENDS OF HARRY POTTER

world in my mind
Hi Welcome back! It's World in My Mind, here you can find Love, Poems, Love Poems, Love Tips, Breakup, and more.. Today post is about the last sekuel movie of Harry Potter, It's interesting coz it will divided into two part, and will be the last episode taken from JK Rowling's Novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.


If there is a meeting, there must be a farewell meeting. The sentence also seems to apply to the three companion of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. They're three feel very sad because they'll no longer together again.

Why? Latest movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has just been released. However, its stars through severe grief. They will no longer be together in film production. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow is the latest Harry Potter movie was released in theaters. Practically there will be no Harry Potter movie titles that jump-start name three of them in the film industry. "We cried for a long time. Our Feelings mixed between happy and sad.

Sad because we have to separate for a long time, "said Daniel Radcliffe as quoted E! Online. The three of them are actors and actresses who were raised by the Harry Potter movies taken from the same titled novel by JK Rowling. All three play a role as a magician when he was in college until they do other activities outside the academy magic. JK Rowling's stories are packed in such a way that makes fans of Harry Potter addicted.

In fact, Harry Potter characters were nicely played by Daniel Radcliffe, making fans of the Harry Potter version of the novel immediately imagine the figure of Daniel when he was reading novels by JK Rowling. "A lot of things that I got in this movie. I like have one with this film. Everything that is in this movie, is part of my life, "said Daniel. Their seventh movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, last film for them. After seven episodes of them together.
