quote of the day

Love does not consist in gazing at each other,
but in looking outward in the same direction.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

love is the beauty of the soul

Love is a temporary madness.
It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides.
And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together
that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is.

Love is not breathlessness,
it is not excitement,
it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion.
That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground,
and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches
we found that we were one tree and not two.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin6

still alive, just dormant

I can’t sleep… despite knowing that tomorrow’s gonna be a looong day. So yea, here I am trying to bubble. Geee… bh was right. We’ve really been bad, bad hearties.

But but… to be fair, even my personal blog was sorely neglected. Then again maybe I’m not such a bad heartie considering my last written entry was 3 posts ago :P (shame on you, bh!)

Ok ok shan’t stress her out.

Bubbling should NEVER be an obligation.
It’s a popping stress-reliever!

Okaay… a sudden wave of sleepiness just hit me. I’d better seize the moment and hit the sack before I lose it.

I apologise for this skimpy entry, but believe me, I had such big plans when I switched on the computer.

Sigh bh… Are we the only ones up to our eyebrows?

priceless.

time

“Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love,
time is eternity."

Henry Van Dyke

love is in the air

I was so happy last weekend when I bumped into the couple I successfully matchmade! And get this, I have never met them ever since I gave them each other's numbers - that was some FIVE years ago!!!

And they're getting married!

It's so surreal.

The thing was, when they first got in touch via sms, things got off on the wrong foot. I remember my last conversation with the girl... how I was apologetic that things didn't take off, although I knew I wasn't to be blamed... But some months later, I got wind that they somehow hooked up!

So yea that night we hung out and the couple finally submitted their progress report after all these years. Haha...

When the girl was out of earshot, the guy profusely thanked me for introducing her to him. And he said something which was really sweet:

"Which couple would not quarrel...? but I have to say, having learnt my lessons from past relationships, we have managed to go through the distance. I must say, her presence in my life... it was timely..."

Aww... *dabs tears

I know this sounds silly but it feels as though they're my babies. I feel so blessed to be able to witness their union.

I really really wish them a lifetime of bliss. *throws confetti

in the doghouse

I must forget

slightly past a year
but it seemed as clear
as yesterday...
yesterday...

Everything simply flooded back to me...
The scenes, the emotions, the words...
Couldn't hold back negative thoughts.
I knew I shouldn't be thinking them but I couldn't help myself.
The more I tried to control them, the wilder they became.
It was awful.

I felt awful.
