signs of love : Teddy Bear Factory

Hi,

Today on my way back from my home I listened to one of my favorite song after around to and half months. You must be wondering how come I listen my favorite song after so long time, here's the thing that I want to point about signs of love. The song I was listening is in one of my all time favorite song and I use to listen it many times in fact everyone at home would stop talking, playing other system, stop the channel where that song is being played. But all of a sudden I stop listening that song in fact i had forgotten this song and while traveling I selected all the songs in my cell phone and suddenly that song started playing then I came to know this was the song I used to listen a lot. I listened the full song.

Actually what happened was my friend has asked me to bring a song and I put my favorite song also but when she listened it for the first time her reaction was like yeh kya song hai plz play the next song. That was the time i had listened to that song prior to today (almost three months I am not sure). Its not that we have different taste of music but sometime she don't like the nasha and sharaab type of songs i listen( now i don;t) but whenever any of those songs play she will just give the headphones to me and say your song is being played listen and give it back when song is finished.

Now that's the sign of true love you not only love the person but also love his like and dislikes.



Now I am worried about one if my friend read this post she will definitely ask about that song and I don;t wanna tell about that dong now ;)

Best wishes,
Teddy Bear Factory

Best Gift ever received: Special gift from special friend

Hi,

Have a look at the picture of sweet teddy below; this is the best gift I’ve received ever. What makes this gift special is that I’ve received this gift from my one and only best friend :). No doubt in life you meet different people home you count as you friend but its once a lifetime that you got a friend that you can call your best friend, with whom you can share each and every phase of your life, your happiness, your sorrows and everything.





Well I haven’t receiver to much gifts in my life and today its was a special day to get a cute b’day gift in advance. I’ve mentioned above about the gift now its time for writing few things about my friend. Best thing about my friend is that he got a lovely heart, caring nature along with lil anger which is always present there ;). One thing more that whenever I am with my friend I forget my worries and time, It seems like I can spend my whole life in each and every moment I spend be it traveling (in that case I wish that journey never end), talking, chatting or sitting together fighting or in silence. I just wish that those moments continue forever. Currently hen I am writing this post am feeling like I continue writing more and more but it seems hard sometime to express yourself. The reality is that you never need to tell your friend that he/she is so very special to you and how special his/her friendship is for you. Its your friendship that express all.

At last I wish my friend all the very best in life may you achiever each and everything you wish for no matter how hard it may seem to achieve that.

Best wishes,
Webmaster

One thing more that am lucky to get a friend like you and I wish this friendship continues till last breath I take and till my last heart beat.
