When reading Lei Da Wei's blog recently, my head became thrilled by the complexity of the love story he mentioned. Made me recall of what I often did back in my childhood. I used to lullaby myself with storylines of me, the girl I liked, and some more figures (well, friends. sometimes Ivan Ooze and monsters, when I tried to come up with the heroic side of me). I made up my days with imaginations of how things would turn out between me and a girl. How I say this.. then she says that.. then I'll say this... then she'll say 'yes'... then yay. happy. It was just great, imagining.
Don't know when those habits fled me.
But I caught something. Having had broken relationship several (okay, four) times, I became conscious of the other side of a love story. Before - after. Pre - post. Do you realize how many comics end with a couple being happy together, then the author writes some beautiful sentences that make us tear? How many 2-hours movies end with the guy and the girl joined together... then the cam zooms out, n credits start flying in? How many children storybooks end with the famous "and they lived happily ever after"?
It's difficult to admit, but as a guy (man, if 20 is enough for one to be called as one) I realize that striving for my love story was really an ego I'd been having. Don't know why winning a girl's heart seems so addictive. Tried so hard to reach the point where she would say "I love you too" and found out that about love, I had no clue. Thought it was time for happily ever after, yet ever after turned out to be a month or two. It might not be the quarrel, it might not be the fight; it might just be walking it day and night.
I'm not being skeptical. Just sharing how things are. I guess for most of we guys, striving for a woman's heart would be like hiking a steep slope. Once we get up there, we victoriusly punch the air, inhale satisfactorily, look forward, and find that long straight road that still needs to be walked through. Now the difficult part actually starts here =)
Heart grows clod at times and passion flickers; yet a conscious mind remembers, and thus glad are those who live up to their commitment.

yawda, ga usah dikoreksi ah. biarin aja salah XD
So in the end the steep hill still needs to be climbed also right? Discouraged as someone's already on top, even before started climbing
@luimenta: *pads shoulder*

(again from girls' point of view)
get as many vote for 'who wants to date adela' on facebook now seems to be a joke XD

i think when we reach certain stage of life... when we found someone who changed our immature habit in love... those things happened in the past will be a joke now XD

It's more like... U reach the top of the hill, then.... U realized that not only there is a long straight road! The road is uphill sometimes! How?
(tapi in the end kalo gw bilang seh, walopun mau pathnya seberat apa gw pasti jalanin lah... gw ga punya karunia selibat kok -> i think)
Oh, and sometimes the road is not straight!
@dit:
I don't get your last statement.
@ww:
wew
@TLO:
haha.
I was trying to say that even though it's straight, it's not easy 'coz it's long.
hmmm... that's life i suppose? not as easy as it seems to be... is there an end to it before we eventually die? i don't think so... in the end of the day, it all goes back to how we perceive our own stories... hmmm, i duno what i'm talking abt liao...hahaha
well, but the scenery is nice!
