before I say anything in this post, I would like to share this video..






this clip is from the movie, Love Actually,one of the greatest love movies of all time. It is a movie of love, shown in various set-ups of life. this particular scene made me cry a lot. haha.. the lady is already married, and her husband is the bestfriend of the man who revealed his feelings to the lady through the placards. so sad.. a matter of self preservation and pure love..



What is Love? haha.. i got this definitions from askoxford.com

love

• noun 1 an intense feeling of deep affection. 2 a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone. 3 a great interest and pleasure in something. 4 a person or thing that one loves. 5 (in tennis, squash, etc.) a score of zero. apparently from the phrase play for love (i.e. the love of the game, not for money


Easy to understand, right? yet a lot of people (and that includes me) find complications in this emotion, this very broad and very unspecific feeling. (well, that is how i describe it. it's really hard to define those mushy things you feel in your chest. haha. And love is something innate to every being, even animals show and feel love..



whew.. let me share another video.. a commercial from mcdonald's philippines. FIRST LOVE




whew.. actually, i did cry seeing this commercial for the first time. it kind of hit me somewhere, in the middle of my heart.. haha.. anyway,why am I showing all this?well, it is the start of the so-called love month, and I would like to make it something new. it is the first post where in I embedded videos. I just want to remind not only myself but also everyone who will read this post, that we should never forget to appreciate people who are important to us. neglect hurts so much, and just as my brother usually tells me, Life is too short. so, i advise everyone to do something EXTRAspecial for your valued people this month. (love must be shown, alwyas, ok? haha.. just a little extra for this month.. :) ) uhmm.. also, add to your list those people who have been an essential part of your life, especially if you have been ignoring them.. Thank you is really a great gift.




just a sharing. my first love (haha.. a member of one thirty) and I had a friendly date last january 30 at coffee academy. i enjoyed our time together so much.. we talked about a lot of things.. (third party stories..wahaha bad,bad memories) I was really touched when he kept the receipt of our bill in his wallet. haha., it's so good to feel that after all the years, people remain to be good friends, inspite whatever pain they've gone through the years. time really heals everything. you are the one solely responsible in deciding whether you are going to move on, or you want to rot on devastated emotions.. haha i've gone through a lot, and i'm still learning everytime i need to move on..


1 Corinthians 13

4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails.



--this is LOVE DEFINED AT ITS BEST. reflect! ♥
