Love Episode Three

Many pet lovers consider their pets a member of the family. Pet lovers often share their experiences as a pet owner with others. Sometimes their memorable moments with pets explain how much humanity pets can have. It is not surprising to hear people say, "I saw my dog looking at me with tears in its eyes while I was crying." We all know that even pets have emotions. They know who their owners are! They know they are the 'beloved' ones! What about human love for pets?

I just notice that the human-dog relationship can be tested scientifically. One article "Pet love is similar to motherly love, say experts" shows a positive result to prove that social contact does exist between human being and dogs. Frankly, the tone of the article is quite academic with some terminology. It is difficult for someone who does not study biology to fully understand the experiment. However, I appreciate its news angle.

It is an attractive news angle which pet lovers are eager to know (at least for dog lovers). The news value is there in terms of human interest. I guess very few people may have heard about the test on oxytocin levels. By introducing the experiment precisely, readers believe how fascinating our relationship with dogs is. Maybe cats, horses ... not just dogs!

Effective use of quotes can be useful to arouse readers' interest. The author deliberately added the quote by Kikushi, "Miho and I are big dog lovers and feel something changed in our bodies when gazed [upon] by our dogs". The quote leads to a certain curiosity of what exactly the change in the bodies is. The layout of this online article is very concise. The picture of a cute dog and a girl appears to be an appropriate complement of the article. It is just the right size! Actually, I appreciate the use of a white background with words in black for this particular article. It gives me a sense of pure love for pets.      

If you believe the social contact with pets, why not try to feel your pet's emotions by heart from now on? Somehow you may aware of how much you love your pet.

She's so lovely!

Let's hug, my owner!

Love Episode Two

Learning to love is an endless journey throughout my life. If there is a psychologist who can give me BIG tips, I guess things are easier for me. Surprisingly, I found the relationship articles written by Dr. Grace Cornish Livingstone (one of America’s foremost Relationship Experts)very fruitful. Let's share one of her articles 'Why Use Your Finance to Buy His Romance?' together!

I've never thought of paying for a man's presence but things may change over my boosting age. Dr. Grace did not advise readers not to engage themselves into a "pay for play" relationship directly at the beginning. Instead, she shared her real case observation and analysis by the use of powerful word expression like 'cry with excruciating pain', 'a cash-machine for a gigolo', 'sweat at a nine-to-five job when I can get a Honey to dish out some money', 'leaves you broke, alone, and sorry' etc. To me as a reader, I feel impressed with what she said about love relationship.

Furthermore, I guess results from surveys are meaningful for readers in all situation. The survey summary of the three hundred women brings forth the notion of why women are persuaded to use finance to maintain men's romance. If I were the one who was surveyed, I would have known myself more after reading the four categories of personality types. OH! I'll then start questioning myself: Do I really love a man with THIS personality? 

I totally agree to what Dr. Grace mentioned in the last paragraph. Learning to love and value yourself is the key to a healthy love. Love is founded on trust and selfless care but absolutely NOT MONEY. Thank Dr. Grace for giving me this very last sentence - ... instead of one who tries to squeeze your finances dry like an orange in a juice extractor. It really strikes into my heart!

Love Episode One

Love is all around us. The most common type of love appears between males and females. Last night, I read an online love story. It is no more than ordinary but in fact it gives us room to think about 'Love'.  It may be true that most of the world's biggest and famous love stories don't have happy endings, yet they are just a fabrication. What about the reality? I guess the author's answer is still negative.  

The story attracts me in the way it is presented. A true story narrated by a girl who is waiting for a guy to love her. Through her words, you can feel how anxious and eager she is to develop a relationship with Lee. I feel pity for her not because Lee rejected her but the lost faith and courage in her. Her experience teaches us a lesson: It may be coincidence that love falls on you and your lover but somehow timing can drive you away from his arm. Why not learn to treasure your love now? Catch the best timing to say I LOVE YOU.  

People who believe in Internet love may have similar stories. They are readers who share similar feelings as the girl in this story. Either or not they succeed in an online love relationship (actually there are lots of happy endings), at least they learned and experienced.  Love across boundaries is not easy but possible. Imagine how powerful technology is to link people all over the world!

You may start questioning yourself like what the author does! I guess the more questions you have for yourself, the more critical you will be on handling love relationship. Actually, the author reminds me of my past experience. To change friendship into love relationship is not rare but most people fail because they are afraid of losing a friend. I agree to the author's intention of keeping an important friend, yet personally I find it more important to face my true feeling towards love.

"To be continued" happens to be the last sentence in the story. As a reader, I prepare to wait and see if fortune gives her a different story. Good luck!
