::Time to Move On?::
Something has been bugging me for quite a while now. Hoping that by writing it down here, I am able to understand how certain things work.
When a guy first likes a girl, he acts all nice and sweet to her. He waits for her to finish work, sends her home even though he doesn't drive. He does everything for her, be at her every whim and call. Then when it all does not work out, everything changes. He hates her, tells her never to look for him again, talks bad about her on his blog and blatantly tells her "I have deleted your number from my mobile".
Obviously there's no friendship left on his end (the girl insists that the guy will always be a good friend despite his rejection) and he said it himself. So why is it that now, the guy has someone new in his life, a new girlfriend, and yet he keeps mentioning the other girl in his blog? If you have really deleted this person from your mobile, memory, brain, then why would you still talk about her on your blog?
After more than a year of such nonsense, I am still unable to grasp the full concept of this. Seriously, time to move on?
::Til Death Do Us Part::
I have always wanted to start a blog with more general thoughts and opinions that I have and I guess, after much procrastination, I finally created one. This blog will not have pics of my friends or myself as it's really just meant for stuff that I think about. Pics are all downloaded from the Internet. :)
Seeing that it is my first post here, I wanted to write about something that warms my heart everytime.
Ever wondered if you have found "The One"? The correct person, the one you love and treasure til the day you die. The one you have made a solemn vow to. If you are not married, will you be wondering if you have found the man/woman whom you can spend the rest of your life with?
When we are young, we look for romance more than anything else. I'm sure everyone has different opinions - maybe some people look for money, some for love, some for sex, some for good looks, some for companionship.
When you finally want to settle down, what is the thing that you are looking for then? Did it differ from when you were young? I went around asking some of my married colleagues and friends this question - How did you know your partner is "The One"? Most of them told me the same answer - You feel it in your gut. You will know, somehow.
Such a wonderful moment when you know you have found someone, right? I believe in that. It is even more beautiful when you and your partner live to a ripe old age together. In a certain nursing home, I saw old couples who really live true to their vows of "Til Death Do Us Part".
Some of these old people suffered from stroke or other medical reasons. They are bed ridden or wheelchair bound. They have lost their ability to even communicate with others.
But yet, I saw an old man who visits his wife daily, rain or shine. He will bring an umbrella, just in case. Quietly, he will sit there with his wife who had stroke, accompanying her while reading his newspapers.
Today, I saw an old lady who walked 2 bus stops to visit her husband who's bed ridden in the nursing home. She sat there, massaging him once in a while, adjusting his feeding tube, etc. Silently sitting next to him just to be there for him.
I admire these couples. I always smile, especially in my heart, when I see old couples who are still lovey-dovey with each other - holding hands or hugging each other, supporting each other as they walk. I have even more admiration for the 2 old couples I see at the nursing home.
The love they have for each other is a lesson to be learnt. May everyone find their true love and live happily - For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, til death do you part. May you walk down the road of life with the one you love, forever.
A song that I feel is in sync with today's post - Love Me by Collin Raye.
