That’s amore! (maybe)

This is another update on my previous post “It’s been a while since I…” Number one high up on my list is “It’s been a while since I fell in love”.

Well, you know what, it’s time to fall in love. And I think I’m succeeding!

Although of course, it’s not really love, just a little bit crush, but at least finally my heart is not that cold anymore (aww…)

There’s this guy who looks like Big Bird, who has a hundred pairs of shoes (so far, I’ve spotted him in white converse, green converse, and white sports shoes), who sits un-glam-ly in the library (and managed to look cute nonetheless), whose name I find out only after three weeks of search, and who doesn’t even know I exist. HAHAHA. This sounds a lot like high school drama.

There’s this other guy, whom I’ve known for quite some time now, who has made it clear he doesn’t want any romantic attachment, and who has almost all the qualities I look in guys (har har har, my mom said I have too high an expectation). But I don’t really ‘love’ him anyway, I just think it’s possible to love him.

Hm, I think I might have forgotten the feeling of falling truly, madly, deeply in love.

By the way, speaking of guys, I find guys with deep, beautiful eyes irresistible. Guys in cowboy hats? Ditto. (HAHAHA, I love those country singers)

Finding the One? Dream on…

“Where’ve you been all my life?”

“And I realise I’m finally home”

“The moment I see her, I know she’s the one”

Familiar with those words? You usually find them in romance novels, and if your boyfriend/girlfriend ever mentions them to you, you’d probably roll your eyes (unless you are in a super romantic atmosphere). It’s OK to roll your eyes. You are most probably not the one for him/her, anyway.

For a start, you have about 1/3 342 000 000 chance of finding the One (assuming the One is really only one person,  and that the world population is made up of equal proportion of males and females, and age aside of course hehe). That means you have to go around the world, search every forest, swamp, skycraper, bush, whatever, know all people well enough to be sure that one of them is the One. You have about 70-80 years to do that, by the way (that, assuming you start searching the moment you are expelled out of the womb). Now, you are sure whoever beside you now is the One? Think again.

I know, I’m pretty skeptical about finding the One, that spare part of your ribcage (refer to the Book of Genesis), that half of you who was removed by Zeus, whatever. But then, finding your true love doesn’t mean finding the One, in my opinion. Anyone can be your true love if he/she loves you enough to bring joy to your life, and to let you live your life to the fullest (har har). So, please tell whoever is beside you, that you’re glad you’ve met her/him in your lifetime. (play “Love of the Lifetime” by Firehouse in the background, lit some candles *grin*, prepare some wine with high alcohol level then you may want to proceed to that “you are the one and only one” part)
