love is a many splendored thing

Reading "Bread of Salt" is like going back to the good old days of finding your first love. It's a wonderful tragic love story - wonderful because everyone has gone through the moment of falling in love and doing everything for love but on the other hand, tragic because one disappointment could lead to falling out of it. hay..pagibig nga naman. i guess the boy in the story was not really "in love" although he thought he was. we have a tendency to become like the boy..we would try to live up to the standards of a person and would even do anything just so the person we "love" notice us.... we could be willing to go through embarrassments para lang ma-defend natin ung person. it's wrong to say na love is blind because it's actually the person that's blind. love is a beautiful thing..atleast it's supposed to be that way. it only becomes painful when we realized na things didn't go the way we wanted them to or worst we always expect something in return sa person and if hindi nya nagawa, we're left broken-hearted...yikes ako ba to...let's admit it, we do sweet things to the person and in return we want his appreciation or at least expect to do the same..but in reality, not all guys are like that(bias! and bitter!)...it doesn't apply to all guys ok..ung iba lang...i guess it's different na now..minsan guys would prefer na sila ang ligawan(ang kapal talaga) and mga girls naman sa sobrang infatuation sa guy would dare do crazy things..i hate how humans tend to become impulsive and then end up making irrational desicions tapos pag nasaktan parang it's the end of the world...i think we should turn those circumstances to our advantage. just like the boy...he realized na hindi sila match ng girl and he went back to who he really was..this time without pretensions. i think it matters to find a partner who will see u for who u are..because love is supposed to be a wonderful decision not feeling ha...u love because u have decided to love that person no matter what..if based lang sa feelings then it wouldn't last because feelings could change..love should not be that complicated..we're supposed to enjoy and cherish it..yikes...

moving on...

Guido might be a romantic but i think he perceives women differently. after all, he was the reason why Lupeng was convinced that women should be adored. what Guido was really saying in the line:"i think it is to remind us men that once upon a time you women were supreme and we men were the slaves".. is that it is now the men's turn to be supreme and women as slaves to them..(how dare him think that)..i have a feeling that he might be playing around Lupeng's way of thinking..i see Guido as a horny maniac who looks at women lustfully even if he told convincing statements to Lupeng like "did u stop being a woman? did u stop being beautiful?"...men will always have their way of tricking women...but thank God i believe meron pa din naman mangilangngilang na sincere gentlemen waiting to be caught by our nets...it's just a matter of waiting and believing..haha

and for all women out there...wag kayong papayag na maging sexual objects ng guys because we are beautiful creations and we deserve to be truly loved and respected..not adored(well maybe but in the right way)...hehe! we are unique in so many ways..yes we do have lots of insecurities and worries especially when talking about body issues but no matter what size we are in or what skin type or hair texture we have, we are still who we are. our beauty is simply effortless!
