Love?

I find it funny that people can say things like

"I love you forever so so so much baby"

"can't wait to see you again! my darling"

"I love you more than you think I do, I love you for who you are, not what you look like, what you say, but what you are."

"I can't survive another day without you, I really can't. Day after day I miss you more and more, I'll still love you no matter what, forever."...

only after abt 2-3 months of a relationship. I don't understand at all.

these were real phrases that people actually said. (obviously i won't write who it was). And although I sympathise a lot with the pain they go through, after a break up, I don't understand that she "can't survive another day."

Maybe I'm being too literal and thoughtless. Perhaps it was what she really felt at the moment (if so, I don't understand). Perhaps her hurt was so deep that she used metaphorical language to express it, albeit sounding a little dramatic, but let's not judge people's hurt. (that, I understand.) although.. a skeptical voice in me proclaims "how do you know someone for who they are, when it's only been 2 months? and how can you love someone for who they are if you don't know WHO they are? note : 2 months is hardly enough time to know a person in and out.

Perhaps I'm being too judgemental. I'm a teenager as well, and I too have known puppy love, crushes, and being crushed. I too have known what a blow it is to one's pride to be broken up with, or to be left for someone else. (although, interestingly, i have never been stood up for a date.)

But..what I really really don't understand..are the mushy mushy posts! True, that the first days of love are always heavenly, no fuss, everything is perfect, blissful, halcyon. I have often smiled to myself at the beginnings of a relationship, feeling that the birds sang sweeter, the grass was greener and everything in the world was lovely.

But surely...that isn't enough to be love?

and even less, "love forever".

I do not judge. They could be really in love, or it could seem like love to them. Either way, it comes from the heart.

but i still don't really understand.

Till today, I have not said "I will love you forever." Am I the only one?

byebye, London.

so that's it. no London for me =(

but it was definitely an awesome  experience. Getting to know all of you, Jamuuna, Didi, Joel, Joshua, and seeing Ain and Sebastian again was the most fun i've had in some time, considering the piles of hw i usually spend quality time with, tee hee.

did i mention, the veryveryvery lovely washrooms in Times Square? It's so comfortable, i could just fall asleep in it! Jam, Didi and I spent most of our time there, actually =D i so dig the big mirrors, flowers and the sofas. Oh, and the toilets too, that Joel was so fascinated by XD the toilet conversation went on from dinner till the next day XD

i'll try to post pictures as soon as I get them, if i'm not too lazy. 

I just searched for yahoo pictures of edison chen. XD i'm sure you know why, sue.

tags

surprisingly, i did J's tag. Usually i'm too lazy to respond to any of this time-wasting kind of thing. But it's fun, sometimes XD
Here are the results!

Your view on yourself:

You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

do comment, if you can, and tell me whether you think it's accurate :)
