    What to Do If You're Alone on Valentine's Day

    Just move on with my life! I have never had a V-day that was "not lonely"... sometimes I would help a friend win over his girl, or gift some chocolates to some old friends, but I think the world is selfish, no one really appreciates what you do whole-heartedly. Either ways, I guess this V-day...

    Profound hearing loss and earmolds

    Maybe your hearing aids need to be changed! I had alot of problems with moulds as well, but people around me would think I am giving excuses here and there for not actually wearing my hearing aids.

    Dating Cycle

    Not always true! I mean its pointless to generalize so much because not all guys are like that. Yes, the girl also needs to be sensible enough in her choices. If a guy can sweep a girl off her feet, the girl should use her senses enough to know whether the guy has crossed the limits or not...
