about

Hey! First off, i'm going to start by saying I came here on this site to give people advice. Some people actually don't know the real meaning of advice. They think its the answers they want to hear. But i'm not here for that. I'll give you advice, and it might be something you don't want to hear. But deal with it! You may take my advice or not, its completely up to you and you are not gaurnteed a correct solution.

Ok so now that's clear, I'll talk to you more about myself. Hence the username... I play volleyball. It is my passion and basically my life since I've played for about 7 years. Most of my friends say i'm 50/50 tomboy and girly girl. I LOVE sports!! I play volleyball all year round, and then I go to the park during free times to play some soccer, football, hockey, basketball or baseball with my friends. But then again, I could be inside trying on my new Sephora makeup i'd just gotten, or reading the latest Seventeen magazine or even arranging my clothes for school tomorrow.

You can ask me just about anything and i'll be happy to answer it. You can count on a full and detailed answer.

Oh and another thing... I love getting feedback! Even if its a negative comment. It tells me what I need to work on or even what I did correct.

BODY EXERCISES AND WORKOUTS! my way or the highway

advice

wat are things you can do to get rid of headaches.

im a pro at this kind of stuff. you probably are not drinking enough water. drink 8 glasses of water per day (you do not have to drink them all at the same time.) take advil and lay down. listen to calming music, have someone rub your temples. dont do it yourself because this does nothing. you need to have your arms by your side and have someone do it for you. slowly and softly. take deep slow breaths. falling asleep is also a very good thing because you dont think about your headache and in the meantime it goes away.

you probably just need fluids, rest and relaxation.

I'm going to the beach with my sisters, mom, and boyfriend for the day, and don't really know what to do. My boyfriend and I can only hold hands, so no romantic stuff really. But any ideas on games or anything different to do at the beach? So far we've got:

-Swimming in the ocean
-Digging a hole
-Looking for sand crabs
-Photo shoot, haha
-Going running

But we can't really think of anything else. Anything really creative or weird? :P Also, money's kinda tight, so no boardwalk. Hah.

theres a lot of things you can do! for example
-play beach volleyball
-play tag football
-write in the sand and take pictures
-listen to music on speakers
-sing with the music
-dance with the music
-slow dance with your boyfriend
-build sandcastles and have a contest
-tan
-sleep
-have silly contests like who can guess the name of the song or who can go the farthest in the ocean
-bury someone in the sand
-look for seashells and make a necklace out of them
-talk to the lifeguard... no seriously, my friend is a lifeguard and she says its soo boring and she loves it when people talk to her. the conversations are really interesting too.
-eat

just have fun!!

ok me and a friend were talking about how to get your butt to get larger. and she said she heard like a teaspoon of peanut butter and a piece a bread before bed would eventually make it bigger.

is it true?

bahahahahahahah i have heard no such thing. that is definitally NOT true. your butt is basically muscle and the only way it will get bigger is if you exercise it. and yes there are exercises for your glutes.

How do you get an emo boy to like you if your only half emo and half prepy?

talk to him about the things you both have in common. Im sort of in the same spot as you, except im not emo but i sorta like this guy who is half emo and half preppy. just talk to him about the things you both have in common. be his friend and when you think that you two could almost be best friends... ask him out. =D

This guy I know is really cute and i know he thinks I am too, but he won't initiatate conversation at all, except maybe hi or to ask what was the homework was. I have tried to talk to him but everytime I get near him I act like a total wuss. AND he is always near his friends and they don't like me. I've tried notes and phone calls (which he answers), but everytime we get to the subject of going out, he always hangs up.!!!! I just don't understand him. What should I do?????????!--------michelle

there could be that possibility that he thinks youre cute but doesnt want to go out with you.

or he could be super shy. right now, to be honest i think you are going to fast for him. take it down a notch and just talk to him as if he was a girl. talk about sports, and school, and gossip and stuff. dont talk to him about dating because obviously he gets scared and disappears. right now it sounds like you are not even friends with this guy. first become friends and once you can talk to him about anything....then talk to him about dating.

he could also be intimidated by you...

hi, this is my second year of cheerleading and i need my jumps to get higher for i can make varisty as a sophmore, and tryouts are around the corner i have the yell i just need to make a jumps higher then they are at. please help me
--sincerly
cheergirl0811

ok so basically you are just asking to improve your vertical jump. if you go to my column, i have some links in the About Me part and there are a bunch of exercises. go to the ones with quads and calves. thats the main muscle area where all of the jumping takes part.

also when you are jumping, make sure to really get your arms into it. they make you jump higher. and make sure you load before you take off. (load is when your butt is parallel, maybe even lower than parallel, to the ground and you explode off the ground.)

good luck at tryouts!!

can anybody plz tell me from where i can download free english latest movies on the net???????

www.filmzzz.com

www.watch-movies.net

basically just go on google and type in "online movies" and then click one of the links and search your movie.

Ok I recently got a facebook and everytime I request someone to be my friend and they confirm it Facebook sends me an email that looks like this: Merrill confirmed you as a friend on Facebook.

To view Merrill's profile or write on her Wall, follow this link:
http://www.facebook.com/n/?profile.php&id=1352117130

Thanks,
The Facebook Team

But when I follow the link and click to see my friends it doesnt say I have any friends. CAN YOU TEL ME WHAT iM DOING WRONG? tHANK YOU!

well i cant exactly say what you are doing wrong because i made it so that when someone accepts my friend request, they dont email me. but here is what you can do. when you add someone as a friend, check every your facebook every once in a while because in the notifications it will say "_____ accepted your friend request".

i always stay round my friends and this time it has seemed to land the day of my period. I wear pads , im confortable with that however i wouldnt really want to leak in my friends bed that would be embarssing, though i know her mum would be totally cool about it. How can i make sure that i dont leak during the night - should i wear extra layers of underwear or what? What tips should i use? And if i have a pad wear can i through it away? I have special bags i put them in first which i guess i could keep in my bag until i get home...but i dont feel confortable keeping it in my bag or throwing it away at her house. So how can i keep confortable and not leak?

before the sleepover go buy the pads that say extra thick overnight large. that way it is bigger than big and it wont leak because its so thick and its made for overnight use. when you want to dispose of it, go to the bathroom and take it off and roll it up in a ball and wrap it with tolette paper, then throw it in the garbage can. if you think someone will ask about it, youre wrong because i highly doubt someone will be like "hey what is this big ball of tolette paper doing in the garbage can?? lets open it up and find out!" haha. yeaa right.

just make sure to change it every so often so it doesnt leak.

and if you are really nervous, you could even set an alarm for in the middle of the night (make sure the alarm is not too loud to wake the others but loud enough for you to wake up. for example vibration on your phone and keep the phone next to you so when it vibrates you wake up but others wont.) and if they ask why its vibrating just say its a text and you have to go to the bathroom. then change it so you know you wont leak.#

ps: dont worry so much about it!!! just have fun with your sleepover!!!!!

So like my subject says, my best friend just had to put her dog to sleep and it is seriously killing her. She knows I'm always available to talk and be with her when she's down, but is there something else I could do or get for her to make her feel a bit better? Let me know.

If i were you, i would make sure that she is happy. if you see her at any given time and she looks sad... do whatever it takes to make her happy. for example, say youre at the movies and she looks sad. buy her favorite candy and give it to her. dont do anything stupid like buying her a card with a dog on it because that will most likely make her even more sad. dont mention dog for a while. in fact, dont mention any animal for a while. do something that she loves to do. if she loves rock climbing, then do it with her. if you are old enough to drive, take her on a road trip to all of the amazing places. maybe even take her somewhere where there is just nature all around. no towns, no people... just birds, trees and privacy. trust me, it will give her time to think.

i saw this in a movie and i dont know if it will work but i just want to share it with you in case you think its a good idea. you could make a video or slideshow of all the pictures of her and her dog. play nice slow music and when she is watching it, make sure the lights are off, give her her favorite food/candy/drink, put your arm around her and hug her. if she cries... thats a good thing. she needs to get her emotions out and not keep them bottled up. it might be best if it was just the 2 of you. otherwise she might feel embaressed if she cries in front of other people.

best of luck!!

I need some new hairstyles. I am tired of the same boring stuff i do to my hair everyday. I have long blonde hair. it is super thick and naturaly wavy but very poofy and frizzy. I straighten or curl it most days. I just need some new ideas and ways to put it up.
****I usually like to have some hair down around my face.

try doing a half up half down ponytail. or braids always look cute. my grandma once did a french braid that started on the top of my head and then gradually went down to the side so it was a side french braid. pretty cool! you should also look in magazines. I have cosmo girl and seventeen magazines and they always have A LOT of hairstyles and really cools ones i must say. I have some in my head right now that i can describe to you but they are so complicated to type on here without actually showing it. and i dont have any pictures of it unless i did it on myself, took a pic and posted it on the web.

inbox me if you want me to try to explain them.

okay so i met this kid anthony at my friends graduation party in june & we hooked up..nothing serious though. after the party we hung out at two other parties and started talking a little bit. my friend told me that he likes me & i have a crush on him. the only thing is that he hooks up with so many girls. so i don't want to be like just another girl he hooks up with. i don't want a relationship but i don't want him to only think of me as a hook up partner. how do i get to talk to him more & figure out what's going on in his mind. he's so confusing! thanks!

you said that you dont want a relationship... so why did you even hook up with him? isnt that what a hookup partner does? think about that...

anyways, have you seen the movie john tucker must die? well i think this might be related to a scenario from that movie. john tucker is a big player and lies to get girls, but then he meets Kate who does not like him and tries to destroy his heart. Anthony might be like john tucker because even if he is a big player, he still might fall for that one girl. so maybe right now hes thinking that girl is you.

if you do want to go further with him, you need to sit him down and talk to him and say "am i just another one of those girls you hook up with?" theres probably a 95% chance he will say no because no guy will say "yes, you are just like those other girls who i hook up with just for fun and nothing serious" i honestly dont think a guy would have the guts to say something like that to a girl unless they want to be slapped in the face.

Trust is the main key here. if you really like this guy, you have to be able to trust him that he will not cheat on you. now heres one thing that i DO NOT want you to do. DO NOT SPY ON HIM. dont read his text messages, or emails or listen in on phone calls or read mail. how would you feel if he did the same thing??? you want to earn his trust, not destroy it. if he catches you, which could happen dont think it wont, he will think that you dont deserve his trust and he will leave you.

i hope i helped

Everytime i go to get my haircut, they cut my side swept bang things REALLY thin. even if i bring a picture of thick ones. one time, the chick held a comb to my head and said that that's where the hair would fall forward. but i could even see more than that falls forward. ugh i dont know, is it supposed to be like this? cause i dont wanna make them thick if they're not supposed to be. even though thats how everyone else has them.

just like the other advicenator said, its different for everyone. next time you go there, make sure you tell the hairdresser that you want the bangs to be thick. and tell her when she is about to cut your bangs so that way she wont forget.

and dont feel bad if you think you are being too bossy. just think that this is their job and if they dont do it the way you want it to be, then they didnt do their job.

how do you copy a embed code thing and put it as a video on your your account
im not sure if i explained it right but i want to get a video thats already on youtube, get the embed (is that the right word?) code so that video is also on my account
im not sure ive been trying to figure out how to do it for ages

what do you mean by account?

if you are trying to say that you want a youtube video on your computer then go to this site

www.mediaconverter.org

then convert it to mp4 and you can watch it on itunes and even put it on your ipod.

i hope thats what you meant.

My brother is 19 and he smokes. He recently dropped out of college, does drugs, curses at everyone, has sex, cheats on his girlfriend, quit his job, and was kicked out of my house. I really miss him and I want the OLD brother I had that used to play with me and stuff. Now he doesn't write letters or emails or calls my family. And he doesn't keep in touch with his friends so no one knows where he is...what should I do!?!?

you could check in the phonobook because i think by 19 he is no longer a part of your family. so check in the phonebook or on the internet yellow pages. you can check facebook, myspace, yahoo or whatever. try searching for his email address. if you feel brave enough, you can ask his old girlfriends if they know his cell number and can give it to you. or his email address or even his address where he lives.

but one thing... be careful. before doing any of this i want you to promise me that you will first consult this with your parents and make sure that they are ok with this. if you dont ask them first, they are probably going to panic and think that you want to be with him and that he will influence you to be like him. which i think your parents wouldnt want you to do.

good luck!

Just wanted to say your giving good advice. Most girls/women are afraid to push themselves hard in the gym or home workouts, but you obviously do. I wish females would stop being afraid of "having muscles".

oh thank you so much! I havent been on this site for a really long time so im sorry about the delay. its nice to hear compliments once in while. thank you again =D

Okay, so I started my diet on around Tuesday, and what I'm doing is cutting out unhealthy snacks and substituting them with like healthier ones. and now I'm also starting to run with my brother. I have a habit of going on diets and then stopping them as soon as I lose a few pounds but I want to do something that will keep me on track and ENJOYING the diet, not doing it because I need to and want to and because it seems like one extra chore.

what are some more good ways to lose weight healthy and affectively?

by the way I'm 15, 5'2 and around 180 pounds (overweight for my height) so this diet needs to work.

thanks in advance!

playing sports really helps your endurance. Soccer especially because since the field is so long and you have to run with the ball. Track and Field is also a really good sport that uses a lot of endurance because you're running a lot, and also like Long Jump and Hurdles uses a lot of your leg muscles. Beach volleyball is also really good for you because jumping in sand is A LOT harder than jumping on an indoor court. So it takes muscle to do that. Or if you suck at volleyball, you can run on the beach. Because running in sand is a lot harder than running on a normal surface. Biking is also very good. Find an area that has hills (not too steep) so that when you go up, it works you out, but when you go down you can get a nice breeze and cool down. Tennis is also a good sport.

If you're not much of a sports person, you can go to the gym and work out (signing up for a personal trainer is the best idea, if you don't know how to work out properly) Or if you have a trampoline, just jump on it for hours because it helps your muscles too.

If you don't like any of these ideas, go on my advice column and there's a link by my info that says my workouts. Click on that and I have a bunch of workouts you can do at home.

does anyone know where i can find a dress with the australian flag printed on it? i've been trying to find one everywhere on the internet, because i live in thailand now. my school is having an international day. does anyone know where i can find one please?

what you could also do is get a pretty dress you want and go to a sewing/fabric store (Hancock's is where I go) and there's patches. You can ask if they have a patch of an austrailan flag and then sew it onto your dress.

alright i like this guy and stuff and he told my friends he was gonna ask me out like a long time ago but he was woried i wouldnt say yes.. i dont kno if he still feels that way or what.. and he wont tell anyoone who he likes or anything. i just want sum1 to tell me what i wanna hear but the only person that can do that is him and I DONT KNOW IF HE WILL... HELP PLEASE

you could try getting your friends to confront him and ask him if he's gonna do it. Also ask your friends to mention to him that you'd most likely say yes.

Or you could try confronting him and just talk to him about it. I once saw a girl go up to this guy and be like "When are you ever going to get the courage to ask me out??" and he ended up asking her and they went out.

Or if you're too scared, just leave it be and see what happens... but i wouldn't do that. He could find another girlfriend like *snaps fingers* that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juicy_Couture

Juicy Couture was founded by Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy. Hence the "love G&P"
