What is True Love?

I believe that this is one of the most asked questions we think about. And not to mention it is also one of those questions that have no answers to. When I asked friends what do they see in a guy, they tell me a list of things. Things along the lines of "funny, clever, good looking, cute, easy to hang out with, simple" and more adjectives. Don't get me wrong here, I feel the same way- I can list out all the qualities I want my boyfriend to have. - Tall - Smart - Understanding - Mature - Cute - Average Looking - Funny - Good Heart - Responsible - Older than me Yeah, those are the basics too. But when I reflect back on my other relationships, I realise that none of the guys I've been with has managed to fit the bill. Am I wrong? Are they wrong? Did I make the wrong choice? Was I too harsh in the qualities I want the guy to have? There has been so far, two guys that has somewhat managed to fit the bill- my first boyfriend and the current one (although the current one fits it most ^_^). Those two guys are the most important people in my life, at this point in time. But sadly, I have to admit that neither, would I ever classify as my "true love". So it all comes back to the same question again: what is true love? What's the definition? Well, for starters, my definition is: True love is someone that just naturally clicks with you- you don't need make-up, you don't need to dress up, you don't need to be fake, you don't need to be who you aren't. Of course though, definitions like True Love change over time (Time, after all, is known to erode things until they almost disappear). So who knows, maybe in 5 or 10 years I'll have a newer definition of true love but right now, that is my definition. What's yours?

Definition of Love

To every person out there who has fallen in and out of love, whether with an opposite gender, a friend or family member.

Falling in love is the best remedy for a heartbreak/ache. Don't be afraid. The more you fall, the more you learn and the quicker you can pick yourself up. Life goes on and doesn't stop.

To that Certain Someone

Someone as kind as you are,
Someone as helpful as you are,
Someone as precious as you are,
Will never come into my life again.

You who have invaded my heart,
With words that make me blush
With gestures that make my heart beat
With smiles that make me smile back.

Someday, when everything is over,
I know that I will look back at our memories
With tears and smiles,
Knowing that we had loved each other.

I never will regret falling in love with you,
I never will say sorry about loving you.
I never will cry over the times we weren't together.
I never will forget who you are to me.

The memories we shared,
The times we were together,
The laughter we shared together and the times we held hands will always remain bright within me as if all happened only yesterday.

I Love You.

I'm in Love

It's so funny how these things go.

You would think that there's no way either of you could fall in love with each other but after another week of constantly talking to each other through social networking sites and at school and hanging around each other, it rubs off and then BAM! you're in love, just like that.

I feel like that right this moment.

But I'm still happy. I'm doing so much more things with my life right now that it makes me feel...just happy I guess.

He's a great person, who always listens to me and is always there for me and the hugs he gives me makes me feel like I'm safe...for once in my life.

I think if he and I were to break up and leave, I would still be a happy person. Sure, I would be sad, I would cry and I would miss him so very much but I think if we were even together for a short amount of time, it would mean the world to me and it would honestly be one of those memories that I will cherish forever.

I've only known him for 46 days (from this blog post) and we are so close that it's kind of creeping me out...in a good way though :)

I mean, there isn't a lot of things I can say about him because I don't know where to start....I know him so well for someone who I've only known for a a month and a half.

Anyways, before I end it, I have one last thing to say, (his nickname is Ducky):

I LOVE YOU DUCKY <3

Question of the Day #4

Why do we fall in love?

Planetarium - Ai Otsuka LYRICS

Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFdT_cIQ-5I

The moonlit evening shows its face
And a child's voice is vanishing
Far away, far away, I guess you're somewhere in this sky
In the end of the Summer, we sneaked away to this park we had found
Do you remember that constellation somehow?

Even if I can't meet you, I want to pursue my memories
and show you the same happiness.
Along with that smell, the fireworks open in a flash

I want to live, I want to live and run to your place right now
I can't see anything in the pitch dark, even if it's scary, I'm all right
The countless starry sky is still here now, forever
I won't cry because the sky I saw before with you was beautiful

The sound of your shoes remains in my ears and resounds as far as that path
I guess I'm staring at my own great shadow

It may not change at all but my painful feelings are getting inflated
No matter how I felt, you're no longer with me

I want to live even if it's a little, even if it's a little, right by you're side
You're the one I like the most, so I can be strong
I tried softly reciting a wish upon a shooting star
I won't cry, has it reached you? In this beautiful sky

Even if I can't meet you, I want to pursue my memories
and show you the same happiness.
Along with that smell, the fireworks open in a flash

I want to live, grasping tightly your little hand towards your place
I want to cry, that was, that was a beautiful sky
I tried softly reciting a wish upon a shooting star
I want to cry, you won't reach my feelings in this sky...

i don't know why, i love these lyrics.

maybe it's because it's not talking about loosing or finding love.

maybe it's because the song itself is so melodic and nicely written...i've never been one for jpop but i dont know why, this song is especially touching for me.

i loved hana yori dango . . . one of my all time favourite japanese dramas <3

and this song, plus the lyrics, is one of the most wonderful thing ever <3 i hope everyone enjoys these lyrics and the song as much as i do <3

Question of the Day #1

Is my love too burdensome ?

ILY ♥

" I'm Sorry "

Being in a Relationship

There's always a up and down side for everything. Especially when you're in a relationship. Everything is always getting exaggerated to the extremity and sometimes, people can't deal with that and they just end up breaking it off without thinking twice about it.

But why are you breaking it off? Why are you finding it hard to deal with that other person? Didn't you just think of him as your soul mate a few days or weeks or months ago? Why the sudden change of attitude? Why the sudden change of perspective?

I can think of a few scenarios that explains and answers those questions. I've been through some myself and I'm all about sharing my thoughts and experiences.

I've once had an online friend who, I thought, had feelings for me, even if they weren't as strong as mine were. So I did the unthinkable and asked him out. I was actually expecting a straight forward answer as no. But, unfortunately, it was a yes. He said yes, wouldn't that mean that he loved/liked me back? Was I wrong to think that way? I ask myself that question everyday of every hour whenever my mind creeps back to him. I thought he was 'the one'. I guess I was way to naive for m own good.

3rd day into the relationship and I found out, or he told me, that he never saw me anymore than a friend.

It hurt.

The person who I thought was 'the one' never liked me at all. I felt betrayed, broken and hurt. As would everyone in my shoes.

So I said to myself that I'll never love another again, especially since the relationship was through the internet, and Facebook of all sites.

But then, not long ago, less than a month, his best friend asked me out. I didn't quite know what to say. I felt like I was being cheated. I only just broke up with that guy less than half a year ago and yet, here was his best friend, telling me that he had feelings for me and thought that I was special.

Everyone in my shoes would've felt the same way as I was then: lost, confused and most of all, taken aback.

I didn't even know that guy!

I didn't know anything about him.

Unlike me who put everything on Facebook (real information too), he doesn't. He writes wall posts under a false name, he has a fake birthday.

It wasn't even until today, did I bother to speak to him about it.

I was hesitant. It was because of me needing to be truthful to his friend that ruined and ended the relationship so I didn't know where to begin. I never knew that telling the truth had its consequences also. I had learnt that.

So today I told him my feelings, my thoughts and my insecurities. And so we started to get to know each other. His real name, his DOB.

It means a lot to me that he is, for once, being truthful to me.

So even though I don't quite think of him as my 'the one' he is, I believe, another way of learning. Of learning what to do, what not to do in a relationship.

A word of advice: love as if it's the last time you will love. But never love so much as to forget who you are and throw away yourself.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you will once you're in a relationship.
