ROM-COMS TO WATCH THIS V-DAY valentine’s day is a great day to cuddle up and watch a movie about love. but with an abundance of sappy movies, it gets hard to sift out the good from the great. of course that’s our job so we have done the work for you! here are some of the best romantic movies ever made to watch this valentine’s day.
3
4 1 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU This late ‘90s teen romance just screams angst. A smart girl avoids boys her age, deeming them too immature, but her younger sister doesn’t get to date unless she does. We love this movie largely thanks to the unconventional choice of its two romantic leads. Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger are weightier, more thoughtful actors than usually get cast in these kinds of roles, which is different but great.
2 (500) DAYS OF SUMMER
Zooey Deschanel is that quirky and beautiful girl everyone wants to be or be with. In short, the boy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) meets the girl (Deschanel), and falls in love, but she’s just that into him. The movie highlights their relationship, and is a great portrayal of modern love and relationships. (500) Days of Summer isn’t your traditional romantic comedy, and maybe that’s a good thing – unlike all the others, it’s a thought-provoking film about love.
5
22
LOST IN TRANSLATION
Lost In Translation might be one of those bleak comedies, but it has a great romance at its heart. Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) really capture what it feels like to be traveling somewhere completely unfamiliar and wanting a connection. The brief moments of Anna Farris spoofing Cameron Diaz add just the right amount of laughs to tide you over, until the moment when Bob whispers something in Charlotte’s ear and the two say goodbye.
6
LOVE ACTUALLY
Love Actually follows the stories of eight British couples dealing with love in very different ways. It’s a romantic comedy as well as a Christmas film, but its sappiness is complemented with genuine and heartwarming moments. It is truly impossible to watch this movie without laughing, crying, and falling in love with at least one character! Love Actually may be the best romantic comedy ever written.
8
7
SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE
THE NOTEBOOK
TITANIC
WHEN IN ROME
Sleepless In Seattle is one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time and is the crowning jewel of the Tom HanksMeg Ryan rom com trilogy. What makes Sleepless in Seattle so amazing is its interweaving of comedy and tragedy, in a way that leaves you on a constant emotional rollercoaster. This movie can take you from laughing at a stupid joke to feeling sad for the main character’s situation in life.
The Notebook is loved by women everywhere for good reason. Allie (Rachel McAdams) is such a warm and likable character, pursued by the equally charming Noah (Ryan Gosling). Their love story withstands many tests but we realize that it lasts into their old age. It might be cheesy, but it’s heartwarming and genuine too.
If you haven’t yet seen Titanic, you must! And if you have, consider watching it again this Valentine’s Day, but be ready to bring out the tissues. This classic romantic-disaster film won eleven Oscars, because of its superb cast, plot, and music. Spoiler Alert: The ship sinks. Before it happens though, Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) steals Rose (Kate Winslett) from her rich husband-to-be. Titanic is a tearjerker with an epic romance that is fated to failure.
Kristen Bell plays Beth, an ambitious New Yorker who steals some coins from a famous love fountain in Italy during her sister’s wedding. Because of her theft, she’s chased down by Danny DeVito, Will Arnett, Jon Heder, and Dax Shepard, who are under a love spell. The movie is lighthearted, funny, and a great way to create and celebrate Valentine’s Day.

saniya waqar maldives & dubai Where did you go?
planes, trains & automobiles
What started as a friends wedding turned into a short trip to Maldives right after that turned into a short trip to Dubai because I was tempted to try something new (a rustic bread course) and well Dubai is a second home. The food, the people, the lights, the entertainment - Who can say no!
Who did you go with? It was a get away trip with my husband Hassan but to top it all off my sister and my mother joined us in Dubai with my daughter. I must say ALLHUMDULILLAH the past 18 days have been such a blessing!
Travelling is great fun. You get to explore a new place, meet new people and get wiser! We want to know more and will share with you exciting travel stories from a few special people in our section, planes, trains & automobiles!
Sights to not miss out on? I would definitely recommend hard rock with or without family it was super child friendly as well. We don't come back from Dubai without trying our favorite Korean restaurant called shogun! took

Where did you stay? In Maldives, we ended up at the Hard Rock hotel which was beautiful but not so secluded as well so we had different restaurants and many activities to keep us busy as well. We chose a peaceful and super convenient hotel apartment in Dubai where we could get rid of the not so attractive crazy tan, laze around and spend quality time with my toddler.

Tips? -Maldives is stunning but expensive! Don't rush into things and plan carefully! Prioritize. Not every island is scuba diving friendly which was something I missed due to the lack of coral reefs around the hotel . -Eat but exercise otherwise you will gain 5 pounds like me! -If you want to take the course in Dubai be prepared to have the best time but also you ll be standing for 9-10 hours a day ..

horoscope
Our fab astrologer Zahid Haider, styles up your stars. Find out what’s in store for you this week!
For your in-depth weekly forecast call 0322-757-5219 E-mail: happyhaider65@gmail.com
ARIES (MAR. 21- APRIL 20) Everything you experience in this lifetime is a choice, including the so-called obstacles. Before we take birth, we decide the challenges we will face in order to alleviate our soul’s growth and rise to the next level. This means that the answers you are seeking right now are within you, along with the tools needed to transcend your circumstances. Remember, you are in the driver’s seat, Aries. What you are making space for in your reality: a life that satisfies you financially and spiritually.
SCORPIO (OCT. 24 - NOV. 22) Hiring and training people is only the first step. How you nurture your talent will make all the difference here. As humans, we’re hardwired to crave connection. So create an environment that helps people move past the superficial differences, propagates unity, and fosters growth. The crew looks up to you for a reason, Scorpio! But that doesn’t you will always agree upon everything. Know the difference between a debate and an argument. There is always a gentler way to get your point across.
TAURUS (APR. 21- MAY 21) Is there such a thing as the absolute truth, or are there simply two sides of the same story? Replace rigidity with flow, Taurus. As you do, stretch your imagination in order to gain perspective. This way, you will understand all the ways in which you have been limiting yourself. The cards are also urging you to become the harbinger of peace by resorting to nonviolent communication, a practice that helps you build authentic connections by tapping into the virtues of kindness and compassion. With an open mind, share how you feel about a certain matter as you hold space for them to share their thoughts too.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23 -DEC. 21) Aren’t you glad you didn’t give up when things got tough? Aren’t you glad you listened to your inner voice when everything was a blur? This, right here, right now, is your best life, Sagittarius—and it is your own conviction that has brought you here. Continue to befriend courage and bravery as you take bold steps towards the future you have always dreamed of. Watch how the obstacles clear themselves now that Spirit has stepped in to offer additional support.
GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) Here’s to the mystics and the misfits, the rule breakers and the troublemakers. You are at the forefront of every revolution for a reason. What you need to remember this week: the importance of staying in your magic and forging your own path. Approaching everything with a beginner’s mind will prove to be the secret to your success. What you need to conservative about, however, is the manner in which you spend your money. For now, it’s best to switch to savings mode, Gemini. CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) Ah, the ebb and flow of life! Think of yourself as a seahorse, one who is part of the turbulent waters, yet is unaffected by them. Once you master your emotions, you will be able to deal with every challenge life throws at you from a place of higher wisdom. Cancer, you are the chosen one for a reason. Become the harbinger of peace, love and harmony. Find a way to work with, rather than against people. Those working in twos are most likely to be affected by this turbulent energy. Stay connected with your partner and find a way to talk about the difficult things. LEO (JULY 23-AUG 22) Helen Keller famously said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” Your thoughts exactly, Leo. Everything looks perfect on paper, but perfect isn’t enough because perfect is comfortable and comfort stagnates growth. This week, you’re in the mood to make monumental changes as you display great daring. Stay connected with your inner wisdom at all times. By looking within, you will find all the answers you need. VIRGO (AUG. 23 -SEPT. 23) Virgo, you are three seconds away from the miracle. Do you really want to give up now? The last stages of a project are usually the most cumbersome. What you need to keep in mind as you inch towards the finish line: you have what it takes to emerge triumphant and show your fears who is the boss. If and when you feel vulnerable, turn to your soul crew for support. You will be awestruck by how they form a circle of protection around you in times of need. LIBRA (SEPT. 24 -OCT. 23) The trouble is you think you need to do everything on your own. This limiting belief is the reason you are feeling burdened. Take a deep breath and step back. Let go of your need to control everything and let Spirit step in. You will be led to the right people and circumstances that will assist growth and take you to the next level. Remember, the future is collaboration. You are being aligned with like-minded people, right now and in this moment. How you capitalize on the given opportunities will determine the future.
CAPRICORN (DEC 22.- JAN. 20) Remember the time you wanted something so bad you were convinced you wouldn't be able to live without it? How do you feel about the given situation now? Does it stir the same feelings within you or do you look back at how things unfolded with joy and gratitude in your eyes? Remember, Spirit has a plan for you. You may not understand it in this moment, but you must learn to trust. As for the things that are being taken away from you—they are making space for the blessings that are yet to come in. AQUARIUS (JAN. 21.- FEB. 19) Your manifestation game is on fleek, Aquarius. Keep your eyes on that vision board as you make bold moves that you have been feeling inspired to. Embrace what makes you different. Embrace what makes you, you. What if your authenticity is your greatest gift to the world? Remember, no great work of art can be created without retreating into the womb space. Understand the importance of decluttering your schedule so divine inspiration can strike when it has to. This will help you take your work in a whole new direction. PISCES (FEB. 20-MAR. 20) Pisces, you’re a magician, an alchemist, a sorceress—one who is gifted with the ability to transform base metals into something precious. 2020 requires you to fully awaken to your power and potential as you share your many gifts with the world. No more playing small or dulling your sparkle in order to make others feel comfortable. The money you desire and deserve may be slow to come to you, but that doesn’t mean you are not connected to the flow. Be patient with the Universe as you promise to show up—each and every day—and consciously work towards your long-term goals. You are creating your best life right now and in this moment.
