Your smile is the most important and easiest physiological change that you can make to give a good impression on others, especially women.  The results you get from doing something so simple will absolutely blow your mind.  This is why this is the first article on Alpha Allure. I can’t stress enough how easy and important the smile is.

Most people do not smile, so if you are in the habit of smiling you will automatically stand out from the crowd in a positive way.  If you ever want to attract a woman, being unique and different from “the herd” is one of the best ways to do it.  Smiling is a huge step in that direction.

When you smile, it conveys to other people you are happy and that your life is really good (even if it isn’t).  Smiling actually can change your biochemistry and make you happy.   No matter how bad a day you are having, you can force yourself to smile and your mood will instantly change.  There is the saying, “people want to be part of a party, not a pity” and if you are smiling all the time, people will think that your life is a party and they will naturally be attracted to you and your positive energy.  On the flip side, “misery loves company” so if you are smiling and happy, you can easily avoid the people who are angry, sad and have a negative energy.  This will help you to be discerning about what people you associate with.

Smiling can improve your health.  When you feel good emotionally (which is your body’s natural state) your body responds positively.  People who are always frowning, or sad, or angry usually are not in the best of health.  This creates stress in the body which leads to disease.  So smile and expect to live longer and better.

Trust is one of the most important things you need to establish with a woman.  If you don’t have trust, I don’t care how sexy you are, you won’t get anywhere with them.  Trust is huge to women.  So how can you start to establish trust without saying a word?  Smiling.  How’d you guess ?  When someone smiles it is much easier to trust them.  Would you trust a stranger who was staring angrily at you?  No!  So the opposite would have opposite results.

These are just a few of the benefits received from smiling.  If you begin to make smiling a habit amazing things will happen in your life, so I suggest you get to it.  Try it, right now!

Exercises:

1.  Start smiling everywhere you go.  EVERYWHERE WITHOUT FAIL.   To the mailbox, to the store, to the bank and especially in social settings like parties, nightlife etc.  Take notice of how many girls make eye contact with you and reciprocate a smile back to you.

2.  At home, look in the mirror and watch yourself smile and notice the way it affects your body and attitude.  Do you feel better?  Were a little more happy?  Start to become in tune to these subtle changes because it will benefit you later when we discuss the power of the mind.

3.  Make sure your smile is a subtle smile.  You just want a nice casual smile not a huge grin.  Smiling too big can make you look ridiculous, so easy does it.

From textured blouses to red hot trenches, this is a fantastic fall color!

Diana Aurelia Isaline-Fowl scowled to herself at the note she’d found tacked to her office door. Her long, untamed sweep of vermilion hair fell in her face and she swept it back most un-Sue-ishly.

Professor Isaline-Fowl, this year we will not look kindly upon your excuses for not having a syllabus. We know that there is a natural time for everything, but please let us know what that time is. Also, we do not appreciate your usage of the lunar calendar to determine when the best date for your finals will be. Your finals will be held the same week as everyone else’s.

"Oh, poot." Diana stamped her foot. "This means I’ll actually have to plan ahead."

The half-pixie checked to see if there were any other notes chiding her for her failure – yet again – to appear in the Great Hall for the Sorting Ceremony. To her surprise, there were none. Maybe they finally realized that I’m not going to come. I’m NEVER coming. So many people… such a confined place… Diana wiped a tear from her cheek. Not to mention all the Flammasari…

There was nothing Diana hated more.

a very happy unbirthday, to me, to you.

:)

It’s the second day of snow fells, this exciting event, because every year the snow falls later. Why am I happy? Because soon I will enjoy walking on skis, skate on the rink … Yeah, it’s delicious. Soon the New Year, cool holiday and an unforgettable New Year’s Eve. This night has a very strange effect on people, I certainly can judge for myself. But all my memories of this event only good, ah, never mind. Actually just wanted to share my mood .. And maybe I love the winter because it is the only time of year when you can eat tangerines and persimmons. Orange mood of winter. Good luck and happiness for me and for you people:)

pq é muito bom acordar apaixonadinha.

Okay, so I’m a student in college.  The school term is almost over.  This means that everything thing is winding down and homework is piling up.  With all of the papers and projects due on top of all of the studying for finals, I like to zone out for a bit and listen to some music.  Today’s anthem is a classic.  Some my call it cheesy, but I think it’s the ultimate motivator… I never skip this song when my iPod’s on shuffle.  No matter what mood, the song makes me feel good.  I guess that’s because I associate it with sooo many good times I’ve had in the past while this song was playing.  All I know is, I love this song.

想很多很多很多。許多顧慮，有些人從我身邊消失了，有的人出現，有的人正打算離去。欠下許多承諾未及兌現，太多想法來不及實行。有的抱怨響起了，我卻始終沒有認真細聽，無法分辨語氣，無法確定重點。我知道，我一定又錯過了許多人與事，太多美麗的風景。可是我控制不了自己，就像臨涯的瞬間才發現，我無法抗拒一躍而下的衝動。我把自己拉住，無法停止，又無法前進。

–FROM.http://mylifetolive.wordpress.com/

 我想我并不能把自己拉住

如果說我現在的處境是無法停止又無法前進

那麼我一定做不出選擇

可能人生中真的是會遇到很多選擇

或許就像Pat所說:”Options are not optional.”

大概每天清晨開始,就要面對很多很多的option…..也必須make很多的decision…

–Go to school OR Not go to school

–Yong tau foo OR Wanton noodles

–Desperate housewives OR Off pedder

–Purple OR White

–Sneaker OR Skate board

…………………………………………………….

而最難下的決定

往往在淚水滿面后又漸漸遺忘

當遇到挫折時又要重新決定

雖然至今都沒有真正的選擇什麽

亦可能是心中本來已有了答案

到最後亦不過如此

途中我放棄了很多,浪費了很多,做錯的也很多

我亦不斷在反思

什麽是絕對的正確

“Right is relative”

突然令我想到有一天上lecture

lecturer在分析award power的正確用法,

講到”everything can be evaluated.”

當時就有classmate問”how abt love?”

lecturer:”Sure!”

知道現在我都未曾明白要怎樣去evaluate love

我想到現在我只知道

I’m sick of thinkin’ abt everyhing n evaluatin’ all those crap.

A few weeks ago, we had another critique in Design Photo. Our task was to present some kind of mood. Earlier, I began thinking about the rain and its association with sadness, but it would be no fun to shoot something so cliche!

You see, ever since I was little, I loved the rain. I love the way the drops hit your face when you look the the sky, even though you end up squinting to avoid getting nailed in the eyes. The sound is even more intriguing. Have you ever just listened to the rain? I could spending hours listening. Sure, I like the sun once in a while, but a decent downpour doesn’t turn me sour.

So I ended up juxtaposing a more cheerful mood with “lousy” weather. My younger sister also shares an appreciation for rain, so she volunteered to model for me (with a promise to stop by the bakery after the shoot). I had enough film for 72 exposures, so we didn’t hold back and acted like ourselves. The overall goal was to be who we naturally are, without looking like a scene from “Singing in the Rain”. One hilarious moment was when another person and their dog walked into the background, and the dog proceeded to do his business on the sidewalk right in my view– had I captured that image, it would have made for an interesting conversation.

The bad news is that I actually used the wrong film, so I didn’t get to process my own at school. Nonetheless, I still tried my hand at manually printing the images myself. I liked making contact sheets the best, because then I could see everything as though it were a narrative. Eventually, I selected my final shots that may reveal a slight hint of happy emotion without being too blatant. I also experimented with burning, which adds a layer of mystery to the images. Next time, I think I might try to find someone willing to lend me some contrast filters.

Was it worth the getting drenched with rain in the end? Definitely.

I’ve got an embarassing confession to make.

I’ve a crush over a lady 7 years my senior.

Ever since mom has made me come along with her morning shopping trips. And you know, MOTHERS and their shopping trips tend to stray off course very often. Because of this, ever since i stopped going to school i have been helping mother with the groceries and whatnot which means i miss out my breakfast. And you know TEENAGE BOYS eat breakfast at around 11-12 AM.

Which means that i had to go around LOOKING FOR FOOD! Could you believe it? Neither could I.

Anyway, ive made a habit of going to the Sushi shop at the corner of Chester Square, whereupon a family of Koreans have made it their livelihood. At this Sushi shop, i met this really pretty lady who has hair as black as coal and skin as white as snow.

REALLY PRETTY.

And if you are one of those people who have once had a silly little crush over older and mature people such as that hot primary school teacher or that Sexy science teacher [if youre into that sort of thing] Then you probably know where im getting at.

Thing is, i dont know her name, or anything personal like that.

Its like a mutual aquaintance, a sophisticated relationship, a blossoming love.

Something like that.

Red Flags and Long Nights:

Before I really begin, I’d like to tell a small story.

One night in September, when I was visiting home, I was walking home at around 4:00 am with a buddy of mine after having played video games at another friend’s house for well over 4 hours.  We get to discussing Music as a discipline and a program, and my friend says something to the bastardized, paraphrased tune of “Music is one of those things I can’t respect the same way I respect lawyers et al. because Music kinda happens and other things need a ton of math, time, degrees and stuff to get to where they are.”

The next time I hear that bastardized, paraphrased tune, I will shove my roughly size 13 boot up their ass.

That would also happen to be the opening scene of RAGE: the musical.  Someone would walk on stage, and say “Music is srz bzns, lolololol.”  Then I would march from stage right, swing my right foot back dramatically, and then shove a steel toed boot up his behind, causing a very satisfying yelp to emanate from his now desecrated corpse.

I don’t know why, but at the same time that playing music makes me the happiest person on the planet, it’s also what causes me to be at my most angry.  Obviously when I am playing well I’m happy and when I’m not I’m angry, but it’s a really, really big difference in mood.  One minute I’m dancing to the music, the next I am literally jump kicking walls.  It almost makes me wonder if I’d be better off majoring in something else, but then I realize what an untalented douchebag I am and I keep on trucking.

In all seriousness, I don’t think I want to change what I’m studying.  The only course I could think of that’d be more fun than this is Game design, and I don’t meant that shit involving the computers and all: I’m talking cards and boardgames.  Is there such a course? Actually, there is: but it’s in Oxford, and probably requires more than a talent for basic theory crafting and probability calculating.  Which, by comparison to other people who build games, is like saying I want to run a circus with a small house cat and a bag full of peanuts so I can lure in a technicolour pachyderm from someone’s delusional, drunken world.

So for now, I have act 1 of my musical pretty much written in stone, featuring the main song of the entire piece: the surprised, never-ending screams of a person who has a boot suddenly shoved up his ass, mingled with the rage of the man with a boot.  What’s next?

Act 2: The Man With A Boot performs a solo concert, only to have his fingers fail to move fast enough, causing him to jump kick his instrument into the audience, causing even the likes of Chuck Norris and Chuck Barry to go wide eyed and go “What the %$#@ is wrong with that kid?!”

Call me uncreative, but they should get a boot up their ass too.

These portraits are supposed to convey a mood to the view. What moods do you sense?

When starting these portraits I decided I wanted to do something within an interest of mine so I decided to go with a theme of weight lifting. I have been doing a lot of lifting in preparation for Track & Field. Being a thrower of shot put, discus, and hammer I need to be strong. This is one of my friends that also does a lot of lifting. I chose to go in the more serious direction and tried to capture a more self reflective emotion or an emotion that says he’s not happy with himself. A lot of the time people perceive weight lifters and cocky and in love with themselves but in reality that can be far off from the truth.
