How often do we say this when we dont mean it,and how often do we NOT say this when we need to. Want to.
To some, saying "I love you" is just downright hard. To some, saying they love someone is as easy as asking someone to eat pie. We say I love you to people that we, (of course) love. But how often do we say it? I say it everyday. Some say it, use for emergency purposes only, or only when they feel like saying it.
Some say "I love you" should be an experience. Not a word you blurt out every time you can. To some, saying it all the time, might make it meaningless. So they'd rather show how they feel. And to this I agree, but only to an extent. Dont get me wrong though, I do like showing people how I feel about them, and I do love it when I am shown love.
Its just that...
I say "I love you" all the time, because I dont want my love ones to sleep without them HEARING how I feel about them. I want to be sure that by the end of the day, they know how I feel, they know that I care. I know that some would rather show it, but sometimes, HEARING it....
Is like food for the soul...

pre board exams.
2 days before my boards exams an answered prayer came. I was crying like shit coz I was so scared of whats going to happen my anxiety was on its peak and I needed my bestfriend(monica) to comfort,i couldnt contact her so I called my uncle for comfort. OK, so after that my bestfriend ko,
COVERSATION:
I screamed and said
"you have ESP i need you, and I was just calling...."
she cut me mid-sentence and said, "we have an emergency"
i said "i know my board exams are coming..."
she said (indifferently) "ayy... lapit na ba yun, but thats not what I was talking about... KATRINS home."
I forgot my upcoming board exam, and said
"OH MY GOD!"
turns out, they were trying to call me but i was on the phone with my uncle. We all had an early Christmas present. Katrin (krengg) is home, Monica (Mox) and Bianca (Badong) complete. Just like in highschool. Like it should always be, and then again we were never really separated. Krengg went to Las Vegas shortly after graduation, I moved to Merville and Mox stayed. But still, the communication never failed, krengg would call, mox and I spent sem breaks at each others places. The friendship remained and got stronger.
Saturday night, a day before my board exams, monica, katrin and I went to Libis, to celebrate katrins homecoming, to meet her husband and to calm my frazzled nerves. I was worried that maybe things have changed but no it didnt. Its like she never left.
And so, to end this blog. My nerves got calmed down. And Im taking my exams, with a snile on my face, knowing that I did what i can to gt through it, and I have my bestfriends to back me up, whatever the results may be.

My Mom sent me this, and I thought I must share it.
What Love is???.... by kids
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of
4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think :
_____
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca- age 8
_____
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4 (I love this one)
_____
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5
____
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6
___
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4
____
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7
____
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8
_____
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
_____
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
_____
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7
____
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6
_____
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine-age 5
_____
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 7
_____
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4
_____
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.."
Lauren - age 4
_____
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image)
Karen - age 7
_____
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6
_____
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot.. People forget."
Jessica - age 8
*sigh*
............dont we all miss the days when love was this simple and so was everything in life?? we all should look back and ask ourselves "what happened?". I remember when I was a kid and love was when I look for my dad and I know exactly where to find him. And after reading to what these kids think about love, isn't it high time to search for the kid in ourselves and begin seeing the world like we all used to? Simple and raw. And mind you, thats not being naive, that is, for me, being genuine.
