Once, I had a discussion with some of my friends about how friendly we can be with our significant other. Most of my friends prefer when their man is also their best friend, but not all of them. Some of my friends think it’s important to keep a part of mystery in their relationship. For that [...]
Recently, I went to the wedding of one of my friends. Her husband and her have known each other for years but they didn’t like each other at first. Both have a tempestuous charachter, and when they first met, it didn’t go so smooth. At least, from my friend’s side, it wasn’t the case. She [...]
When we fall in love, we expose ourselves to a complete change in our existence. I read once an interview of Helène Mercier, Bernard Arnault’s wife, where she said that she had to embrace a brand new world when she chose to marry one of the wealthiest men of the planet. This is especially true [...]
In the movie Chungking Express, the opening scene starts with a voice saying: “We cross every day. We don’t know each other. We will be probably friends someday“. Then, the movie follows with He Qi-Wu, a police officer, who just got dumped on the 1rst of April by his girlfriend. He gives himself one month [...]
Do we have to do everything in common when we’re a couple? Not necessarily. There are tons of situations where you will end up separated from your significant other. The first one is probably at work. Unless if you run a business together, chances are you won’t see him/her during the day because of this [...]
Recently, I had to interview a well known personality in my country, and the topic was supposed to cover his hobbies. Instead of telling me he liked to cook with his wife duringthe weekend, running errands in his garden, playing with his kids, riding a bicycle,… and other stuffs normal people do during their free [...]
In the movie “Amélie“, Amélie falls in love with a guy she doesn’t have a clue about, but try a little hide and seek game with him until they finally meet for real. There’s a voice in the movie that said “An ordinary girl would have invited the guy for a coffee and see if [...]
Recently, I went to lunch with some old classmates, and we spent our entire time talking about the other classmates. Our conversation pretty much revolved around one of them, who married just after College with the wealthy heiress of a powerful group. All of us were jealous. He quickly became the deputy CEO of his [...]
… Or just don’t give me at all.
At the G8 meeting last week, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy refused to follow the other president’s wives during their tour in Rome, and she also arrived on a separate group so she could avoid meeting Silvio Berlusconi. Apparently, she doesn’t like Il commendatore (and I can understand her). But unfortunately [...]
According to Daniela Drake and Elizabeth Ford, women should find their fortune while they’re young and marry a man with money. Should they? Yes and no. It’s true that we have a better chance to score when we’re young. The same doesn’t apply for men, unfortunately. Look at Geooooorge Clooney (Sigh).
At 48, he still attracts [...]
