... the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. it was love. ... it was the pure language of the world. it required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. ... because, when ou know that language, it's easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city. and when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. there is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. it is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.

the alchemist, paulo coelho

may you dream wonderful dreams, as i do; and may you find meaning in them, as i will one day.

it's time yet again for one of my reflections on a soppy romantic movie. forces of nature may have a reed-thin plot, relatively poor acting and many other flaws but its simple message stands out. like ben affleck's char said, i believe in one perfect person, that when i meet that person, everything else will fade away. that there'll be a bubble around us. that love's perfect... and its everything. everything that realli matters.
i've come to realise that there's more than one perfect person out there. that everything won't fade away. that love has its ups and downs. but i still believe that love's perfect. that its everything. that the downs only serve to put everything into perspective. that the ups are oh-so worth it. and that love's all that realli matters... to me at least.

there's something about never-ending love stories. jag... smallville... many, many others... sometimes u love them, sometimes u hate them. why can't lana and clark ever stay together? because ppl dun like watching happily-ever-afters. sure we want one, but we always like watching conflict. a good piece of literature (theatre, prose, tv) always has a main conflict, and many subconflicts. and it'll only be resolved with a climax just before the end. so for those, like me, wanting to be clark and wishing he and lana would stay together forever... happy waiting.

partner stretch... hehe. guyz screaming... hehe. awkward positions... hehe. how i would love to know what you're thinking rite now... hehe.

would i rather be angsty or soppy? would i rather be profanity-spouting or love-professing? ... who loves rhetorical questions?

'in america' is beautiful. why do i believe there is a God in this world so much? because i believe in miracles. i believe in love. i believe love makes the world a nicer world to live in. i believe death's just a part of life. i believe in life after death. i believe i can make a difference. i believe in many things u probably dun understand, much less believe.
i know there are many logical arguments against God. i know a single person can't do much. i know the world can be cruel. i know many people are selfish. i know i'm not perfect, and neither are u. i know love ain't perfect, it hurts at times. i know... that knowing isn't everything.
am i gonna stop just because the rest of the world hasn't started? am i gonna stop striving for perfection just because perfection is unattainable? am i gonna stop loving just because not acknowledged, not reciprocated, not enough? am i gonna stop feeling because the world's too caught up knowing? am i gonna stop believing... ever?
dun need to agree... just understand.
