Love, Actually

Take a good look at this picture. You've got the beautiful sunset, the snuggly couple, the whole 'love is in the air' vibe... Ahh, the perfect picture of bliss.

That's just the thing. Anyone's who's ever been in lurve would tell you it's not all dewy-eyed romance. Its about the mundane stuff like helping your guy da pau dinner when hes working late or typing her notes for a big school assignment.

Love is when you share a bowl of ice kachang and you save the atap chee for her.

It's when he lets you pick the movie and you choose the war flick instead of the romantic comedy, because you know he secretly wants to watch that.

It's not saying 'Hah! i told you so!' when she sprains her ankle wearing killer heels even though u did tell her so.

It's when he downloads Hannah Montana on his ipod although he can't stand her - just in case you ever feel like borrowing his ipod, you'd have something to listen to.

It's bringing her lingerie shopping and letting her buy comfy cotton PJs if that's what she really wants instead of the lacy ones you've been eyeing.

It's sweating it out with him rollerblading even though there's a MNG sale that ends that day.

It's admiring (as sincerely as possible) her fifith black pair of black heels which look just like the other four.

And most importantly - and this is the hardest thing to do - its walking away froma fight because you'd rather keep peace and show some love than prove you're right.

Happy Valentine's Day, folks!

cheers <3
