Love...Love! Love?

Well, since today is Valentine's Day...I'd just like to wish all my friends who are currently happy with their other half 'Happy Valentine's Day'! As for those who are flying solo, like me, don't fret...Take this day to pamper yourself and shower yourself with lots and lots of love...because no one in this world who can love you as much as you do.

Today,one of my best friends told me something really cool that he did for his girlfriend : He.named.a.star.after.her.
Isn't that so freaking cool??? It made me excited just hearing that. He is capable afterall, of swooning over girls. Anyway, what he did made me think...is it possible for love like in the movies or in romance novels to exist in reality? My mom never encouraged me to read romance novels or chick flicks. She'd prefer if I read Homer's or something that has sense. Her reason? She tells me that I'll be living my own romance story one day and that will be even more exhilirating than reading about fantasies of love or another person's romance. In conclusion, that should make me quite an unromantic person, shouldn't it? However, I turn out to be a hopeless romantic. And the source of me gaining all this 'silly' ideals of how love should be? Korean dramas and songs! I have to say Asian men can be quite charming when they want to be. So, single girls out there, don't lose hope!Gentlemen still exist here on our continent. We just have to 'hunt' them down. Haha...Gosh, I make it sound like we're on a hunting trip or something.

What fascinates me about this love thing is the amazing thought of how two strangers, who previously had no clue about each other, can risk their all for the other when love is established between them. That to me is a sign that God does exist. God is great. And isn't it also amazing how a person can accept another when they're in love; no matter how annoying or evil that person may seem to others? That's the beauty of love. They make other people and the whole world in general to seem beautiful. Sure, everyone and everything has faults; but with the existence of love, even pain seems worth a fleeting moment in love's embrace.

Now, if only everyone had that sense of love for humanity and a greater good...This world would indeed be a better place. A place where people had 100% consideration for others and 70% for themselves; where leaders actually think for their people and not for their own gains; where every human life would be appreciated far more than wealth...ah, these are just some of the things that together, we can do to make our world a better place. Even if it is a small dream, but if everyone looks towards the same direction then this dream would surely come true...

Enough of this sad issue. This is afterall a day of love. I'd like to dedicate a song to all the love birds out there. It's a song by one of South Korea's hottest bands...drumrolls please...Big Bang! They really are good, I should write about them one day. Well here it is :

Always - Big Bang
On that first day, we weren't able to take our eyes off each other
As if the rest of the world had stopped
As if we were unfamiliar with love
I liked everything about you, even your clumsiness and awkward expressions
I hoped that we would become friends
I hoped that we would become lovers
Don't be afraid that I would ever let go of your hands
Even as I look at you now, you're so precious to me
That's why you gotta know girl

My heart that longs for you is blue,
I want to hold you as if I were the sky
Even in the howling of a rain storm, there's nothing to be afraid of now Oh oh oh
You're always inside my heart
I want to give my everything to you
When you're tired and having a bad day,
I'll be there to hold you
Ahahahahahahahah

Sometimes, we'd have our own rough moments too
But every couple fights
Pain comes around, and goes around
But a happy smile comes to your face with the fading of your tear stains
There are so many things that may hinder us,
But don't be afraid even if I say that things are tough
Just as long as I'm by your side, I can withstand anything
That's why you gotta know always girl

My heart that longs for you is blue, thank you for being with me
Even in the howling of a rain storm, there's nothing to be afraid of now Oh oh oh
You're always inside my heart
I want to give my everything to you
When you're tired and having a bad day,
I'll be there to hold you
Ahahahahahahahah

Baby I swear
Beneath the heavens, there's no one but us
We go together like a needle and thread,
pushing and pulling, back and forth,
In the midst of love, trusting and treasuring each other
I'll wipe away your tears, and bring the fair smile and sparkling eyes you have to your face
Go back way back

Yo! Getting together, breaking up, separation,
No one knows when we'll one day officially break up, but I'm different
Just follow me as you usually do
Do we really need to make everything clear with words?
Our love is enough
Holding you under the warm sunlight next to the blue sea
That's sweet

That's why you gotta know girl

My heart that longs for you is blue,
I want to hold you as if I were the sky
Even in the howling of a rain storm, there's nothing to worry about Oh oh oh
You're always inside my heart
I want to give my everything to you
When you're tired and having a bad day, I'll be there to hold you
Ahahahah

I find this song as a very sweet song and I know it holds true for some of us. I've got to go now. Before I go though, here's something to think about : This world is too small for hatred.
