The Love Compatibility Quiz

Romance Style

Both You and Jay are Traditionals

Red roses, chocolate truffles and champagne say it all for you. Whether you're playing Prince Charming or looking for him, you want things to be right out of a fairy tale. Traditional females have a harder time in love than their male counterparts; if they're not paired with someone who can show them affection, they may retreat into a world of romance novels and Nora Ephron movies, while Traditional males are generally snatched up like hotcakes!

Your Romantic Compatibility:

Traditional/Traditional: You'll both agree on engraved invitations to a white wedding, we're sure, and live happily ever after.

Sexual Style

Both You and Jay are Spicy

You like it hot! You have a healthy sexual appetite, and your sense of playfulness and adventure really excites your mate. Although you don't blindly (or unsafely) say yes to any sexual escapade, your list of "nevers" is not that long.

Your Sexual Compatibility:

Spicy/Spicy: Ooh-la-la! You two are a great match. You both enjoy sex and are willing to experiment.

Communication Style

Both You and Jay are Compromisers

You don't like friction, and because of your desire for smooth sailing, you welcome your partner's suggestions and point of view. You choose your battles wisely, but you don't always get to the heart of the matter, preferring instead to keep the peace.

Your Communication Compatibility:

Compromiser/Compromiser: How could this not work? Both of you are willing to compromise and talk things out. Both of you dislike arguing and friction, and you both work toward keeping the peace. Nice going!

Astrological Assessment

You are a Taurus

In love relationships, Taurus is devoted, romantic and sometimes jealous. The great strength of the Taurus-born is their stability and perseverance. Taurus is among the most dependable characters of the zodiac.

Jay is a Libra

In love relationships, Libra is playful and romantic. The great strength of the Libra-born is their drive for peace and harmony. Their skill at seeing all sides of a situation makes Libra one of the most fair-minded characters of the zodiac.

Astrological Compatibility:

When Taurus and Libra come together, it can be the unification of two halves of a whole. Both signs are looking for security in a partnership, and they share a refinement and love of art, poetry and culture. They can work together harmoniously, because both of them are trying to achieve the same thing. The relationship may start slowly, and on the surface they might have few common interests, but once they understand each other there is a lot of mutual respect and a realization that there is more in common than they may have first believed. The best aspect of the Taurus-Libra relationship is their mutual appreciation of beauty and culture. Aesthetics are important to both partners, and they share a love of the finer things in life. Their similar tastes and loves makes theirs a relationship of great romance and harmony.

Hahaha. I don't know how I got Jay to take this quiz along with me. Who knew we'd turn out to be perfectly compatible? :D

Janice and RJ: This is how it should be

Finally. Got my charger back and downloaded the photos from Janice and RJ's wedding. Yey! So now I can write about it, hehe :)

****

We had so much fun at Janice and RJ's wedding. Good old friends, out of town, all dressed up, great food, lots of love -- just so much fun! But never had I cried so much before. My dear friend Janice all grown up and getting married! Wait, that's a good thing. Why was I crying?

Tears of joy? Pride? Oh yes. Weird thing was I felt like a mother seeing her daughter walk down the aisle. I guess in friendship we do tend to "mother" each other once in awhile.

Happy tears? Most definitely. That wedding was a true celebration of love, cheesy as that sounds, I'm saying it. They are good for each other, plain and simple. And I know they will be happy together.

RJ is the sweetest, most devoted man. Damn those vows were good. All guys should take a page from his book! :) And come to think of it, I shouldn't have been surprised at how Janice was. Quite emotional and definitely the radiant bride. Really beautiful.

****

We saw them through from their first meeting to this. But this is just another beginning. I'm sure the best is yet to come. Kids come next Janice! Hahaha.

Damn. I will definitely miss this couple when they move to Japan. Janice, we have to visit each other!

****

Jay and I brought Hatice along and it was such a good idea. Hatice and Naya were BFFs for the weekend, complete with fights! Haha. They were so cute together, even though they just met for the first time! It's really so much easier to make friends when you're young, and clueless.

We also visited some of her relatives who were genuinely happy to see her, as they last saw Hatice when she was still a baby. It was nice to see her with family. "Plenty lolas," as she put it. She needs much love to make up for such a big loss. Although with Jay (and, I would dearly like to think, myself), she shouldn't be needing too much more. :)

****

Other friends are getting married this year. Sadly though, I'll be missing their weddings: Parej and Pam, Tanya and Albert. Oh well. Congratulations and best wishes to you all. Please just send me some photos...
