didn't want to watch but somehow ended up watching the movie "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past".. it's such a typical 'love hurts' story of Charles Dickens' classic tale - how pple choose to give up on love bcos of the painful rick.. it was really a enjoyable show.. relaxing yet.. a reminder on love.. truly fun and enjoyable.. guys, you should watch it! and learn, and act in love! :)
what lingers in my mind now is that scene where colin was cleaning up the wedding cake mess with jenny gloating over his hardwork.. ... jenny's response to colin's coquetry moves: 'perhaps it's me who are attracted to a project.but after you, i told myself no more work-in-process but a full man.' and colin's rebuked 'and hence, you are always in company of girls".. wow, this dialogue really goes deep into me... just like the disappointment jenny experienced, i think i've gotten my fair share of faith loss in such matter.. nowadays, i'm sure you people know i'm in company of girlfriends.. i'm not saying girlfriends are not good, but what is my reason/motive for such bonding.. is it not bcos i've not found a 'full man' (or, waiting for the 'full man' to hunt me down?)
very often, i get comments like 'u r always busy how can guy date you?' or 'ur time is so packed,how to date u?'.. honestly, i dont think my time is that crammed- if only you ask, i will try to arrange. my friends will rebuke me with 'i asked but you also not free'.. and why so? because they usually hesitated/got choked in their requests.. i mean, please be fair to me - i cant be waiting around doing nothing, in hopeful wait that someone will date me, right? of course i have to keep myself occupied in my available time.. if there's no activity planned,i'll definitely try to arrange something to do.. so please, guys, take my most earnest piece of advice - ACT FAST! time and tide wait for no man; let alone a hunter wastes no chance of letting his prey escape..
if only you act and ask, you'll never know if i'm ready to receive..
Love's Risks
There is a risk involved in everything;every time you share a smile,every time you shed a tear,you are opening yourself up to hurt.
Some people tread slowly through lifeavoiding the closeness risk brings,side-stepping the things they can't understand,turning away from those who care too much,those who care too long,those who hold too tightly.
There is never an easy way to love.You cannot approach it cautiously. It will not wait for you to arm yourself.It does not care if you turn away.It is everywhere, it is everything.
Love is the greatest of all risks.It is not reliable, it is not cautious. It is not sympathetic.It is unprejudiced and unmerciful.It strikes the strongest of mindand brings them to their knees in one blow.
Even in the best of times, love hurts.It hurts to need, it hurts to belong.It hurts to be the other part of someone elsewithout either of your consent,but, from the moment it overtakes you it hurts worse to be all alone.
The risk of love never depletes.It grows stronger and more dangerous with time.But, it's in the total surrender of all defensethat we, no matter weak or strong,no matter willing or captive,no matter what, we truly experience love.
Despite the many things love is not,outweighing it all are the things that love is. Love is surrender without a loss.It is a gift without the cost.It consumes your every thought and desire,every breath you take.It is the fire that fuels you to do more than pass through life;it urges you, instead, to live.
No matter the outcome, having felt love;you will never be the same.It may scar your heart and souland leave you only memories of forever.Or, it may cause every day of your lifeto feel like there is no need for tomorrow.But, love is worth it. It is worth the risk.For in all of life Love is truly the only risk worth taking.
