I want red shoes


I'm looking for classic red shoes and I can't find anywhere! Last week I spent six hours shopping, there's no shop downtown I missed and... no red shoes for me! I can't take this idea out of my mind...

Happiness Is ... Making More Money Than the Next Guy

One key to happiness might be whether you make more than your peers, regardless of whether that income is six figures or just a mediocre take-home, a new study finds.

This concept of "doing better than the Joneses" is well established among children: A toy gets ditched as soon as a shinier toy in the hands of another child is spotted. But some researchers have often thought that when it comes to adults and money, things works differently, in that the more money one has, regardless of how it stacks up, the more resources can be acquired to generate happiness.

However, the new study suggests income and happiness are indeed like child's play.

We tend to be happy "as long as we've got more than the people around us," said study researcher Christopher Boyce in the Department of Psychology at the University of Warwick in England. "You might buy a new car. But if your neighbor has just bought the very same car, that new car doesn't seem as good as it once was if you were the only one to have that car."

I make more than you do...

Past research has suggested that income rank, not just absolute income, is important, but previous large-scale studies looked only at satisfaction with economic conditions rather than overall life satisfaction, the researchers say.

Boyce and his colleagues used data collected between 1997 and 2004 in the British Household Panel Survey, in which more than 80,000 participants rated how dissatisfied or satisfied they were with their life overall. Household incomes were adjusted for regional differences in living costs and for number of individuals in a household. The resulting figure represented the amount of spending power a person would have.

Then, they took the ranked position of each person's income within the entire sample in a given year and compared it with the individual's absolute income. Statistical tests were run to determine how that rank predicated a person's life satisfaction. While a person's life satisfaction went up with higher absolute pay, when ranked income was taken into account, the absolute numbers were no longer linked to happiness levels.

Then the researchers grouped participants and compared their income with various reference groups, including geographical region, gender and education, and age, as people might do in real life. In each case, incomes were ranked relative to that particular reference group. Again, a person's life satisfaction was mostly explained by income rank within each peer group.

They also found that people are 1.75 times more likely to compare themselves to those above them in income than to those below.

That makes sense from an evolutionary perspective, because it would behoove someone to gather information about the higher-ups in order to improve oneself to ultimately get there, Boyce explained. "But that results in low satisfaction with your current standing," he added.

Happy nations

The results could explain why as national economies grow, average happiness levels haven't followed suit. "It's about having more than everyone else," Boyce said, "which is why our nations are not increasing in happiness on average."

Even if a nation's financial waistline bulges, that doesn't mean the individuals within that economy will become happier. There's only one guy at the top.

"Our study underlines concerns regarding the pursuit of economic growth. There are fixed amounts of rank in society - only one individual can be the highest earner," Boyce and his colleagues write in a recent online edition of the journal Psychological Science. "Thus, pursuing economic growth, although it remains a key political goal, might not make people any happier."

Boyce figures the study results can be explained by status, and all things associated with being "better than," including the best mates.

"Biologically, people are going to be more attracted to people at the top of the social hierarchy," Boyce told LiveScience.

Love is a seek and hide game


Love is a seek and hide game, isn’t it? Always the one is seeking and the other one is hiding to keep the game of love going on.

- First stage - Flirting

At first men seeks, woman hides. She spots her and start flirting. She’s pretending to be unapproachable to make the hunter put more efforts, but she gives him some hints to go on. He calls her, asks for dates and she says “May be”.

- Second stage – First night together

After having sex for a first time gave turns over, he seeks and she hides. He made a score and got her. She believed he likes her and gave him what he wanted. She wants the flirt become a relationship and he’s not sure about it.

- Third stage – Start of a relationship

He realizes she’s amazing, caring, understanding and a hot lover, so he’ll give her what she wants- commitment. He seeks, she hides. She’s tired making him commit and asks herself if he’s the right one, she’s looking around to see what else’s on market. He wants to impress her, to make her his girl.

- Fourth stage – Serious relationship

Relationship is granted for him. He get used having her and forgets to be romantic, caring, spending time with her. She’s trying to make relationship interesting, but he’s interested more in having beer with friends, watch football or just be busy. She seeks, he hides.

- Fifth stage – She leaves

She gets sick and tired to be the one who makes the relationship, to asks for his time and attention. So she leaves. Soon he realizes what he lost and wants her back. He gives promises, asks for forgiveness- he seeks, she hides. And the game starts over again!

Unusual shoes

Were those made for walking? I don't think so...

Some are not that strange, just look unusual:




Hahah and how about those?

Have you ever really loved a woman?

It's Woman's Day tomorrow, I wanna greet women with the song below!
As it's said "Don't try to understand a woman, just love her". Obviously we're more emotional than men and we need men to show their love and appreciation more than they think we do.

Have you ever really loved a woman- Bryan Adams

To really love a woman

To understand her - you gotta know it deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
she needs somebody to tell her
that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really -
really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman...

Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

Just tell me have you ever really,
really, really, ever loved a woman? You got to tell me
Just tell me have you ever really,
really, really, ever loved a woman?

SPA Weekend

This year we didn't have team building, so my coworkers decided to organize something by ourselves. They chose a SPA resort next to Bansko. It was nice and relaxing, but the weather was too cold. We enjoyed the indoor swimming pool and the sauna and the steam bath most. We took a walk in Bansko and had nice lunch there. In the evening we had party with chalga music, much alcohol and dances.
I'm sorry it was just for two days, I wish we could stay longer.
