Chambers Refurbished, Men Smiling

(by J.T. of Jacqui's Curve)

Lady Patsy is on hiatus - trying to complete and submit her income tax forms and doing some editorial stuff. I was kind of bored. So I asked Lady Patsy if I could do something to her blog. I felt that my last job on it was getting a bit "basi" (stale) for my eyes. She agreed and said, "Get creative woman. Do what you want."

Yippee! I finally found something to do on a Sunday afternoon. While Lady Patsy tackled her important matters in Kuala Lumpur, I was happily playing around with colours, pictures and fonts in Germany.

So ma' lady, I present to you the finished product - complete with an entry. I am not sure if it is pleasing to the reader's eyes but I tried my best.

When I showed the Lady of the Chambers a draft earlier, she approved the font size. She likes it. It's bigger. I can understand that. Lately, we have been complaining about our so-called growing (old) pains. Our eyesights are getting worse. Bladders are weaker - resulting in our frequent trips to the bathroom after midnight. I can remember when both of us did not have these complaints. We were in our 20s. It was a confusing time for us. We were trying to figure out life, love and men.

The first time I met Lady Patsy was back in 1992. We were preparing for a singles weekend organised by the church. Pat and I were chosen to be part of the panel of presenters. We shared our life experiences based on topics set out for the weekend. She was somewhat a veteran at presentations having done previous singles weekends. I was a rookie. It was comforting to have a friend like Pat during an intense weekend. Sharings were deep and it stirred a lot of emotions. We continued to share a lot more after the weekend and years thereafter. We had a lot of good times and bad. We saw each other through it all.

I asked Pat today, "What shall I blog for you?"

She said, "Anything lah"

"That's not good. Give me a topic, woman." We threw ideas back and forth. As I sit here, I still have no idea what to write.

So, if I have no idea what to write, I might as well share something from Cosmopolitan magazine . Yes, I do buy this magazine every now and then. It is informative. ;)
In fact, Lady Patsy started me on a Cosmo diet. I never knew about it until she shared the magazine with me umpteeth years ago.

The topic (and always the Lady's and my favourite) - MEN.
The subject - How To Put A Smile On His Face....

Making your guy light up doesn't have to take tons of effort. If he's in need of a little ego stroking, try these tips.

1. Let him save the day. Due to their provider instincts, "men feel important when they can help you," says Susan Rabin, author of Lucky In Love. Make him your go-to guy when you want advice on handling a sticky work situation or when your car is making a funny noise.

2. Brag about him. When you're around friends, tell everyone about his amazing chili recipe or how his bod blows David Beckham's away. "It's huge for his self esteen when you show him off," says Allen Berger, PhD, author of Love Secrets Revealed. Plus, it proves that you notice what's special about him.

3. Make him feel desired. "What turns a guy on most is being wanted sexually," says Berger. Try a line "I can't wait to get you into bed.' or suggest something new in the sack. Says Berger, "It shows that you value your sex life and want to keep it exciting."

My work is done here and I am off to make a man smile. ;)
