food for thought.

Love is like a taxi.
If you wait for it, it won't come.
It's not that the taxi won't come,
there just aren't any empty cars.
That is the worst thing.
Maybe i may find one on another street.

If i glance back, I just missed another.
but it won't come if i just wait.
If you look for it, it won't come either.
It just won't come,
It won't just come to any one person.

but when you give up and started walking,
they suddenly come all at once.

Love is like a taxi,
You'll never know when it'll come.
Till that time comes, you're just a figure,
lost in the darkness.

But when the headlights of the taxi finally shine on you,
That's the first time that you'll be able to affirm your existence.
Your heart beats quickly from seeing your lover's smile.
But at the same time,
From your lover's words,
from the painful memories that scar your heart,
you too, realise that you're present and alive.
We start to see the person that we really are --
The person that slowly starts to desire, the person that isn't cool
and we struggle to face those facts.

Falling in love is a helpless state.
It is a hurtful, agonising illness,
making you writhe in pain.
Alas, that revolution with a name called "love",
that thing that will prompt strength to overcome
is the numbing sensation we get the instant
our beloved comes into contact with us.

At that moment, relying on the welcoming light, go ahead and fall in love.

--from the first episode of "love revolution" (:

pardon the messy translation--just something that really struck me when i was watching love revolution(haha okay im prehistoric and i watch donkey years ago shows.) oh but i must say i really love this show. it's amazing how much i see myself in kyoko-san. her philosophies of love, her insecurities, and her simple desire to love and to be loved.

it's strange how you know the holidays are here when most of your friends start disappearing. perhaps having had the burden of meeting datelines removed, it's that sudden increase in spare time that makes that wistfulness well up in you even more.
something my friend said today that struck me. "well, it's good for us as christians, cos at least we know that God has already prepared that special someone for us." such faith that sometimes i simply dont have the courage to have. maybe if i knew for sure that say at 21 im going to get a guy that loves me for who i am and with whom im hopelessly in love with, maybe i would have been more confident of what to expect, of who i am, and of my faith. but thinking again, then that probably isnt faith anymore. surprisingly i came across this statement today. "faith is one that hands everything to God, confident in his character and purposes rather than our answers." how apt. faith is more than believing that every story will have a fairy tale ending, rather it's believing in the writer of the story that he will give each story a well ended conclusion.

a song, any song.

cruel to be kind - letters to cleo one of those songs that still dont make sense to me even though i read the lyrics a million times over. but i love it nonetheless, perhaps because of the smile that creeps onto my face everytime i think of the sweet scene between patrick verona and kat stratford in 10 things i hate about you . there's just something about romantic shows that always seem to get me, no matter how cheesy these moments might seem on hindsight.
