Jealously on Valentines' Day

Hi, if you are reading this, then I hope you are having a great Valentines' Day, celebrating the day with your loved one.

But if you happen to not to have any partners to celebrate the day with or have broken up, then you have my sympathies. However, I ask you to do one thing; don't get jealous at couples.

I understand that it's human nature to be jealous at seemingly lovely dosy couples but I find jealously petty, it's my least favourite quality. Remember that you are valid and worthy of being loved. I know that it's not easy to find a partner but you are not alone, a lot of people are single too including myself (though I have been in a relationship myself which wasn't meant to be but it was good while it lasted).

You have friends, family or pets that are part of your life so you are never alone. So even if you don't have a partner, you can spend the day with them or by yourself; doing the simple things you love doing best. And ultimately, love yourself. You are the best person you can possibly be so celebrate the day by loving yourself.

I've heard the saying "Don't compare yourself to others as you don't know their full story". So in this case, focus on what makes you unique, happy and loved. And remember that being in a relationships is not always sunshine and rainbows as they may show (including on social media from which I've heard that it's how a lot of people compare their own lives to others). It may take hard work and commitment to maintain a relationship which is not always easy plus couples as individuals may have gone through a lot themselves so they have the right to be happy too. Being jealous at couples that may be your close friends or family would be no better.

So in other words, don't judge them and focus on your own qualities. Let them be happy and don't give up on finding someone who will love you.

For those who happened to be couples celebrating the day, then I wish you all the best with many more hopes and dreams along with the happy memories yet to come.

Whenever you are single or are in a relationship, have a great Valentines Day and you are always worthy of love.

Gushing about Mcfly, Busted and McBusted




As you may already know, I'm a huge fan of UK's boy bands Mcfly and Busted as well as their super group McBusted and to celebrate the release of the 4th Busted album Half way there, I'm going to be gushing about them in TV Tropes's Gushing about shows you like style (as there's, as of this time of writing no mention of them), based on my own thoughts and experience.

Mcfly have many fun, enjoyable songs that I can't stop listening to. They're such a good looking young pop band who have beaten the Beatles' record of having the fastest number one album which makes them this awesome! They have dominated my teen years to this day.

The guys themselves are always up to a lot of fun. It's always amusing to watch their antics.

The super group McBusted is just as awesome with both bands (excluding Charlie Simpson) forming together. Who cares about the fan dumb about McBusted delaying the sixth Mcfly album? As long as they had a great time together as a super group, then I have no regrets rooting for them all the way while it lasted.

It have helped me to rediscover Busted (who I've first took noticed when they sang Thunderbirds are go - which was also part of my childhood) as they sang their songs from both Mcfly and Busted. I still remembered their potential as a super group when I first saw them on TV. And the Mcfly guys seemed happier then they were before considering what they have been through which is again all it matters.

And even if McBusted have ended, it have lead to Busted's reunion with Charlie Simpson coming back, here to stay. With my love for Busted rediscovered, I'm willing to rejoin their journey and enjoy their songs, continuing to support the boys too. I can only hope that their reunion have made them closer than ever.

Even if Mcfly are on a hiatus at this time of writing, that doesn't stop me from enjoying their songs and supporting their solo projects as long as they're happy with what they're doing.

Danny Jones is my personal favourite member of Mcfly with his sense of humour, talent, handsome looks, kindness and his positive attitude. He may not have won Popstar to Operastar but he have done his very best which won my heart. My love for him have helped me to come out as a gay fanboy so I can thank him for that. He have also made me aware of anxiety as explained in his London Real interview reguarding to his parent's divorce. I hope he have become stronger from that experience. He's also proven to be smart as he wishes to help musically gifted children, telling them not to give up which makes him inspiring. It's great that he's a judge for The Voice Kids and I'm team Danny all the way. I can't wait to hear his solo album. As of last year, I had the most interaction with him out of the Mcfly guys with him liking four of my Tweets to him and answering my live Facebook interview question about joining Busted as McBusted again (for which he would like to)!

Just about anything that Dougie Poynter says is often amusing that you can't help but to smile yet lately, he's been using social media to voice environmental concerns including plastics which is good for him as someone who is concerned with the environment myself. I hope to learn more from him. It breaks my heart hearing what he have been through reguarding to his break up but I hope it have made him a stronger person since then. It's good that he have joined other bands including Ink which could widen his experience.

In addition, Danny and Dougie Pones is my favourite Mcfly/McBusted pairing and bromance who have funny and cute moments who needs more recognition (and are so much better than the spot light stealing Pludd - as much as I do respect that they have helped each other back then). 

James Bourne is my personal favourite Busted member who helped Mcfly rise to fame (it's still great to see the bands' interactions to each other every now and then). His Tweets are entertaining with his witty humour and interactions (who happened to be following me too). He's the reason why I look forward going on Twitter. He doesn't deserve the unnecessary hate from the Mcfly fans during the McBusted days, I'm rooting for James and Matt! I still remember my first Busted concert when I was very close to him! The closest I've ever got to my idols! He's a nice guy who sometimes help out with his fans.

Tom Fletcher is a cool, talented and adorkable guy with his love for Disney, Christmas, Dinosaurs and Science Fiction movies including Star Wars and Back to the Future. He is also shown to be just as talented with writing books including The Christmasaurus and The Creakers which are well written with their idealism. No matter what anyone suggest, I'm just as happy for him to write books. Who would have thought that his wedding speech on Youtube would go viral? It's amazing on how he uses his songs for his speech. He also made me aware of bi-polar, for which I hope he's able to manage. He's the first Mcfly member who I had interaction with including my question to him about Christmasaurus (if the other Mcfly or Busted guys will read it).

Matt Willis is pretty cool with his many hairstyles during the McBusted days. Amazing that he have many other talents too including acting. I hope he have become a stronger, better person in regards to his drinking problems as he becomes closer to his family while still maintaining his sense of humour as he described in his London Real interview.

I can still remember the day when Charlie Simpson have returned to Busted after years of separating from Busted, following his own path but now he's here to stay as rejoin the Busted hype train. I hope this have helped to become closer to James and Matt then ever before as I get to know him more.

And Harry Judd is proven to be good at everything as shown with his victory on Strictly Comes Dancing. Good hearted and witty (with his pranks), it's good that he strives to help people with his Get Fit, Get Happy book, having exercise to help with your mind as he experienced himself with his OCD which could help me to understand OCD more.

As for the songs themselves, there are too many to mention so I'll link my videos that features my top Mcfly, Busted and McBusted songs here (which were made as of 2017)
