Love,Life, & Thoughts

I recently have this thing about Korean Dramas lately. Although I don’t think it’s strange of me since I always have a heart for  Romance and Love and anything that relates to uber drama, love tragedy, sufferings, heartaches…and happy endings. It’s just that I was not at all interested to anything “Korean” before, I mean no offense but it didn’t interest me maybe because I had a wrong encounter with one not so long ago when I started to think true love could possibly exist at 16. And since today, I had my heart set into talking about this new-found passion, I will talk more about the history of such tragic puppy love encounter I had had on my next blog some time.

Going back to what I said, Korean Drama has continuously amazed me for so many weeks in a row now. Like I have seen a couple or more of them these days. I couldn’t stop it, literally, and I don’t know how badly it has messed up my career and my lifestyle since I even skip eating lunch and stay up until dawn just to know how the story goes after each episode ends. And seriously, as I feel sympathy to my favorite character, I feel almost exactly the same way, the same pain, and the pain won’t go away until I see her smile again. So I have to wait for the part where the guy would overflow her with love and affection again, so I could finally sleep with a fine heart…BUT, that’s not what usually happens, when I am on that anticipated part already, I just feel so hooked up and engrossed in those beautiful moments, I don’t want it to end. And I’m sure, I can hear my prim and workaholic character sending in alarm bells. But what can I do? The story makes me really feel good. Made me feel that LOVE is always and would always be everyone’s destination, because that’s where happiness resides. LOVE attracts happiness and keeps happiness at bay. LOVE is so beautiful. LOVE is very deep and very playful too, at times it breaks us and takes away our life, our reasons to live, it overlaps our sense of reason. LOVE is so powerful, it can weaken the mightiest King, it gives HOPE to the oppressed, it lightens up the mood of someone who has a heart of stone, it makes the invincible cry, it pushes two individuals even of different worlds to be together no matter what, it defies all reasons there is to hinder it. Love is everything a man needs to sustain his mere existence. A romantic drama, like a Korean Drama most especially, made me realize that although, LOVE is not good all the time, but actually the downsides of it are what actually made it look even more beautiful. We cannot appreciate LOVE if it’s always kind. We cannot see it’s value if it’s always there. LOVE has to fade for us to look for it, and it teaches us a lesson that it is important to take care of it while we have it, because most of the time, LOVE is evasive, so evasive that when we let loose, it’s gonna be gone forever. LOVE causes us pain because that’s how it is measured. We get hurt by the same amount of love we have felt. So the sicker it makes you feel, the more reasons you have to know that you have to be thankful. You are capable of great LOVE. You LOVE truly, so you’re hurt deeply. So as what they say, In LOVE, inorder to be happy, we have to take the bad along with the good. Because that’s how it always is, be it in love and in life.

Well, I hope this blog is enough justification to how I truly feel. Words sometimes can’t really fathom all those jars of thoughts I wanna fill. And since for me, this new passion for such interest has brought me a lot of reasons to LOVE, I hope it will somehow give you the same inspiration about LOVING too.

I had just finished watching BOYS OVER FLOWER by the way, and I’m certain I have rooted most of my thoughts in here from that. The story is just overwhelmingly poignant!

Today, atleast say I Love You only because you MEAN it.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!♥

Be Beautiful and Love Yourself for Being So

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

Memorize your favorite poem.

Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have, or loaf all you want.

When you say, “I love you,” mean it.

When you say, “I’m sorry,” look the person in the eye.

Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

Believe in love at first sight.

Never laugh at anyone’s dreams. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.

Love deeply and passionately. You may get hurt, but it’s the only way to live life completely.

In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

Don’t judge people by their relatives, or by the life they were born into.

Teach yourself to speak slowly but think quickly.

When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, “Why do you want to know?”

Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

Call your mother.

Say, “bless you” when you hear someone sneeze.

When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.

Follow the three “R’s”: Respect for self, Respect for others, Responsibility for all your actions.

Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.

Marry a person you love to talk to. As you get older, his/her conversational skills will be more important.

Spend some time alone.

Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Read more books

Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.

Trust in God but lock your car.

A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. Do all you can to create a tranquil, harmonious home.

In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.

Don’t just listen to what someone is saying. Listen to why they are saying it.

Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.

Be gentle with the earth.

Pray or meditate. There’s immeasurable power in it.

Never interrupt when you are being flattered.

Mind your own business.

Don’t trust anyone who doesn’t close his/her eyes when you kiss.

Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.

If you make a lot of money, put it to use helping others while you are living. It is wealth’s greatest satisfaction.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Live with the knowledge that your character is your destiny.

Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

The Chronicle of an Unhappy Relationship

1. You are broken-hearted, you hit the bar. You go there hoping you pick some

    interesting mate up.

2. You get back home elated by the thought of how amazingly you’ve met a

    perfect guy. You then thought, everything happened for a reason. Things

    end so better things can fall together. You suddenly thought Marilyn    

    Monroe has always been the Goddess of wisdom indeed.

3. You thought dating could be the best thing that could   

    ever happen to you soon.

4. You gave in and have had your next relationship.

5. Three months, that was all perfect. He thought exactly the same things you

     wanted, he did perfectly the things you’ve been wishing, he filled in the

     missing parts of your past relationship, he made you feel complete.

6. Everything seemed over-talked about. You unintentionally became quiet

    together. One day one of you noticed it.

7. He started to feel it’s boring staying with you. And met random friends

    instead.

8. You became impatient waiting. And arguing was the best option to get

    attention.

9. He thought arguing with you was constantly annoying. Walked out from

    the conversation often.

10. You’re left alone, crying in the corner of your bed. And saw your

     photographs on the bedside table, and made you hate him for

     uncountable reasons.

11. Nobody apologized.

12. Nobody initiates a conversation.

13. You broke the silence, opened it up with girl’s overused line, “I think it’s

     better if we go separate ways.” And although in your heart, you actually

     wished being pursued….

14. He gave in.

15. You’re heartbroken. Devastated, Alone again.

16. He’s upset for a moment…and have let go of the thought of it forever.

17. You saw each other again after a month.

18. You never felt anything strange.

19. He smiled at you, introduced his new girl, and you were okay.

20. Realized, you didn’t really love him. And you’re moving on.

I believe, the reason why most relationship ended shortly, is because in the very first place we kept chasing for love, we ended up with those not meant for us, we trapped ourselves into its hollow, thinking that’s what we all need, when we actually are only punishing ourselves everyday by unconsciously bearing the burden of it. And as long as it’s finally ended, that’s then we finally realize, it was not all worth it. That was not at all love. Yet again, there are times we find it difficult to move on…it only needs time though.

It’s not wrong to let go, and it’s not wrong to take risks in love too, what’s wrong is when you let yourself suffer about a wrong reason. That’s so mean. Let go when you need to. The pain is there but it’s not gonna be forever. Trust your heart to heal.

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

ONLY OURSELVES HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAVE US FROM WHERE WE DON’T WANNA BE…WE HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO GET OUT AND LIVE THE BETTER WAY.

Most girls get hurt more often than boys. It is a fact. Why? Because girls unavoidingly involve emotional attachment after any random encounter with an attractive boy…while boys are logical thinkers, they don’t think much about it unless they believe in love at first sight, which is quite uncertain.
