Cheer and be merry! I’m back! The impish, happy-go-lucky Cheryl is back! Well, almost, since I still lack that bouncy walk and unending energy… =D
I actually thought I’d stay grumpy and unhappy for a long time but I’m so glad I didn’t. The ankle’s so much better when I woke up this morning that I feel more radiant and ready to run already. Not literally but my energy’s pumping its way back today!
I realize I have an ability to affect others, maybe cos my moods are really so extreme. Thankfully I’m on the extreme joyful side most of the time.
So anyway, back to my favourite topic- love. (: Don’t blame me, I’m a Piscean. Pisceans are known to be romantically dependent and are a very dreamy lot. Just read this off the internet…
What a Pisces likes:Romance, Feeling appreciated, Stability, Feeling needed, Mysticalsettings/enchantment, Being encouraged to dream, Sharing thoughts/dreams,Having their input valued, A role model, Feeling lovedWhat a Pisces Dislikes:Feeling vulnerable, Feeling alone/unloved, Having no goals to projecttowards, Feeling invalidated, Being ignoredCrude/harsh behavior, Noisy scenes/displays, Having no dreams, Having nosense of structure
Quite true, but I don’t really know how accurate such horoscope and star sign things are. That aside, I never really liked Jamie Yeo (Glenn Ong’s wife) much in the past but stumbling upon some articles of her on the net today changed my opinions. I guess I shouldn’t form perceptions so easily and learn to be more open to acceptance in future.
Discovered Jamie to be rather sweet looking and surprisingly hot (body wise) with neat hair and well, intellect. Guess brains really does steal hearts. Always thought she was just another skinny looking vase, probably a bimbo but I discovered otherwise. Wonder where she got those assets, are they real? =P
Anw, here’s a quote on love by her:
“A wise man once told me that the key to a good relationship is understanding that different people show love differently. So we constantly have to remind ourselves that while you might show love via kisses or hugs for example, someone else might show it in an utterly different way (like doing your laundry)...a way that you don't see as love, but is. Sure, sometimes you can "teach" someone to love you in ways that you like, especially when it comes to your partner, but sometimes you just have to learn to adapt to the other party's ways.”
So simple, so true, yet so hard to achieve in most relationships, ain’t it? But it is always something I live by and definitely something I took away from all the past relationships, serious and childish ones alike. That’s how we learn to cherish the little things our partner do for us no matter how small they may seem, they could actually be done with the greatest of all hearts! And we also begin to treasure the show of love and appreciate them more.
And another quote from Jamie:
“Love is sacred. And it should be treated with utmost respect. On the flip side, love can also be transient. Fleeting. Love can cut like a knife. It's possible to love more than one. But it is highly recommended you stay committed to just one. Love means saying you're sorry even when you're not in the wrong. Love can sometimes suddenly reach out and grab you, startle you, shake you up, then leave you in a disheveled heap in the corner. Love can reduce you to a big pathetic sappy ballad-lovin', cheesy-grinning buffoon. Love causes you to disregard your financial limitations when it comes to buying gifts, and especially if love is forced to be miles apart. Love opens you up to patience and tolerance you never knew you possessed. Love makes you do uncool things like giggling uncontrollably, stammering, staring into space, and checking your phone for messages every minute. Love also makes you do cool things like counting the stars, smelling the flowers, forgetting to sleep and smiling. It is never too late to fall in love. And you're never too old to do so too. Crazy love. Quiet love. Noisy love. Intense love. Secret love. Flirty love. Making love. Love completes you. Love is the best thing to happen to Man. And LOVE sure makes the world go round.”
Sort of sums it all up, doesn’t it?
So today I learnt that we can all like everyone, even those we never used to, if we’ll even give each one a small chance to prove their worth. Nobody’s that unworthy, right?
I’m in one of those lovey dovey happy moods, as you all can tell. =D
Love and peace to all!
