When It's Over

There are so many romantic films nowadays, both local and foreign.  I love watching them.  But I cannot help but get affected at times, especially when it's about separation.  

I hate breaking up...I hate seeing two people who were so in love and are now falling apart...

I am a hopeless romantic, yes! They say Pisceans are really like that, plus I am a Sheep, so I guess that's the reason why.  

What I do understand is that, Piscean or not, a Sheep or not, I used to believe in true love as a child, and still believe on it up to this very minute.  (Though, I don't see a point why two people will get themselves to marriage just because the girl gets pregnant)  That's another point, I guess, a different one.  

I strongly agree that two people who are so in love have the right reasons to get married, whether the nature is on their side or not.  But the moment they get married, I don't want them to separate nor fall apart.  As married couple, they have to do their best to make the marriage work.  Divorce or annulment shouldn't be an option to them.

But until when?  Does that mean they have to stay married even if they are no longer happy with each other?

The answer is both Yes and No.  Yes!  They have to stay married even if they say they are no longer happy with each other.  There are ways.  They only have to open their hearts to their partners.  Easy to say, hard to do.  Yeah!  You can say that.  But they have to try and try many times, to rekindle the flames of love they once had for each other.  Try looking into the good qualities of the person they used to love and stop comparing them to others.  This way, they will have room for the renewal of their love.

The other answer is also an option.  No!  They should not stay married.  For what reasons?  well, what can make me agree that a couple should file a divorce is when there is violence that is happening.  If physically, one is being hurt by the other party.  That would be a reason for moving out.  No one has the right to physically abuse anybody.  It is a big sign of disrespect for me.  Not even a slap on the face, a hair being pulled.  No physical abuse can be reasonable for me.

If physical abuse is the reason for getting out of the marriage, then, it is really over.  Even if the party who caused the pain will say sorry and will promise not to do it again, getting back to the relationship should never be opted.  When one is abused, it really is OVER!

if the love fits, wear it

if the love fits, wear it baby
and if it feels good, put it on
and if it's not right then, just maybe
you'd be better off to leave it alone...



early this morning, it just popped out.  i remember humming this song when i was younger.  no idea what message was conveyed.  it's just that the melody was nice, it was soothing.  

just trying to reflect on the central idea.  i think this is telling everyone that love is like a trial and error thing.  if you feel love for someone, then push through with it.  for guys, pursue the ladies, for ladies being pursued, say you love them without any further ado.  if it's meant to be, good for you.  if it's not, then bade each other good bye without hatred or any bitterness.  

well, some would say, easier said than done.  but it's really like that.  no matter how we try to work things out,, when it's not what is destined to happen, it's not gonna work out.  it's a matter of being practical.  at least, you will have no regrets at the end.  no more what ifs... what if i told him i love him, what if i pursued her, what if i did this, what if i did that... and no wasting of time, effort, and emotions.  why remain in a relationship that is not making the both of you happy.  there's no sense in keeping each other to something that is no longer healthy for both parties.  

take your side. mine is just an opinion, (which i happen to have applied when i was younger) and made me happiest...

if you don't agree, it's alright.  listen to the song,,, and enjoy... stay in love, that's the best thing in life.

Upside Down

"Love is more powerful than gravity..."

 just finished watching a unique romantic flick with the same title as this post, UPSIDE DOWN...oh, my! their worlds were literally upside down.  their planets were like twin planets, revolving on the same orbit, but had opposite gravity.  but just like what a famous saying tells, Love conquers all...that's what the characters, Eden and Adam, did.  two different worlds apart, made it possible to give way for one true love.  not even gravity was able to pull them away from each other and to stop them from finding the right path where their hearts could meet.

One great film it is.  the theme is very far from happening.  there is no known place like what they have in the picture.  not even the astronomers were able to discover such places in the entire galaxy.  but we can always put this theme in another perspective.  i mean, we don't have to take it literally.  conflicts which the characters have experienced here, happen in real life.  i mean, there are lots of love stories that i know (and i think you will agree with me) which are opposed by, not the gravity, but other external (and sometimes internal) forces.  i know about some which are opposed by parents, by religion, by social status, by personal ambitions in life, and a whole lot of other people, things, that hinder for a love story to have a happy ending.  some of these stories, well, ended really depressing.  but most have been successful to go against all odds and follow where their hearts are.

The Vow

I vow to help you love life. To always hold you with tenderness,

and to have the patience that love demands.

To speak when words are needed,

and to share the silence when they're not.

To agree, to disagree, on red velvet cake.

And to live within warmth of your heart,

and always call it home.

- Paige

i just couldn't get over the story of Leo and Paige...i so love them and the kind of love they share.  

this lead me to thinking, how many couples stick to their wedding vows after many years of being together?  i've heard a lot of stories, i've seen a lot of happily ever after, but i've also witnessed couples who fell apart.  in the story, i thought it was really over for them, especially when the divorce papers were signed.  but to my delight!  their hearts really found each other ones again.  despite the memory loss, the wedding vow of Paige to Leo led her to the very place where they first met each other...it didn't take her to gaining back her memories of him, but it made her heart remember how much love she has for him.

can this happen in real life? while watching, i had in mind, only in movies could this kind of love be felt. but i was wrong! for at the end, i found out, it was based on real life.  so, to those who say, true love does not exist, that romantics are laughing stocks, move over! they are for real...

Hopeless Romantic

Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench even if there is plenty of rooms at both ends...

Love is patient, Love is kind

Roses are red, violets are blue...

Put them together, it means i love you

sounds corny to some, but for most people, they would say that's what love can do. People say when you start saying or doing cheesy things, you're most probably hit by cupid's arrow. And when you're there, you can never avoid nor ignore the intense feeling.


i don't know, but even if i age, i am still fond of talking about love, of reminiscing how it felt the first time i fell, of listening to stories of people in love, and of watching films that make me fall in love over and over again.


hopeless romantic indeed! but really, there's no greater or more wondrous feeling than love. love makes every wrong thing seem right. love makes every bad day seem good. it makes a difficult journey seem light. oh! i just can't imagine my world without love.

now that i've finally decided to post something in here, i swear, every reader will definitely fall in love with love. i plan to share romantic stories i've experienced, heard, read, and watched. i want to share lessons i've learned from those, and somehow help others who might undergo or might have underwent situations similar to the characters involve, or maybe just bring inspiration to people.
