Words of Wisdom


Song of the moment: Mika Arisaka - Life Goes On(Gundam SEED Destiny 2nd ED)

Watched Hitch on Sunday with KK and Mel. Not really the best of choices, considering its what you would call, a 'Date Movie'. The movie was funny though although a little lame. Remember, if a girl fiddles with her keys at the door, it means...[Movie Rating: 6.5/10]
Then, went to Jon's house for the first time in my life yesterday. Real nice place with a great view. After finishing up one part of the project, started watching movies and L'Arc~en~Ciel concerts and MVs. Real cool, especially with Jon's new $1.3k desktop.
Lots of tests, exams, schoolwork and projects to look forward to in the next two weeks or so. Wish me godspeed people!

Found this article in a magazine.
School Sweetheart
If things didn't eventually work out with the first true love (the one you promised yourself you'd marry), she will forever be 'the other woman', the spectre of regret stalking all subsequent relationships, the impossible standard against which all others are compared. One's latter loves stand no chance against the memory of girlfriend number one, the one who loved you when you were a penniless, uncultured oaf, the one we loved before the cares and hurts of the world had robbed us of our innocence, and our capacity to love without reserve. The first love is not perfect, but the memory of her is.
(Brownie points to anyone who can tell me which magazine this paragraph came from!! Excluding SJ and Jon... ^_^)


Now this really got me thinking. Firstly, what exactly qualifies someone to be our 'first true love'? 'The one you promised yourself you'd marry'? Is that really just it? When I thought about it, I never really did compare the one whom I considered my 'first true love' to her. In fact, I couldn't really compare the both of them, for they were really at opposite ends of the spectrum. Perhaps I am exegerrating a little bit but they are rather different from each other. So was she my 'first true love' after all? Perhaps, my 'first true love' was her all along? Yes, its true...I did think about what it would be like to be married to you, going through our jobs, having children and watching them grow up, most, if not the whole works. I really took the advice Ming Yao gave me some time ago to heart. Can't remember the exact words that he said but it went along the lines of 'Consider the girl that you're dating as someone who might be your future wife'. Honestly, I really thought that I would be very happy if I could spend the rest of my life with you. Sounds horribly corny but I am very serious.
Secondly, as I was saying earlier, would a person really compare everyone of his or her subsequent relationships to their 'first true love'? So, if it were true, then the only way where a person would truly experiencing a fufilling relationship with someone else was if that 'someone else' bested the 'first true love' in all aspects? Otherwise, would you dare say that you can totally forget all about your 'first true love'? If you can, then I would say you are a rather despicable,inhumane oaf without feeling.

To me, the only sentence which is true is 'The first love is not perfect, but the memory of her is.' Without a shadow of a doubt...
