Type of relationship - exciting vs. peaceful? I can't sleep. I noticed recently that when I passed the sleepy stage and fail to respond to my body's signal to sleep, it's difficult for me to sleep after that point. Especially when I'm in front of the internet. LOL. I'd feel particularly energized instead. As always, I've got alot of things to blog abt. I've been wondering how can I make my blog look less wordy and more interesting visually? I mean, I see bloggers with similar templates - narrow space for entries....which will make everything look so cramped up and hard to read. Yet on some of those blogs, doesn't appear as wordy as mine! Maybe I simply have too much things to say. Too lorsor. Anyway, I wanted to talk about my recent musings. I was piecing together things. 1) FIR's Real and Faye talked about it when they were interviewed abt their view on relationship as they got older and more mature. How their courtship was like. 2) Pastor Kong and Sun's relationship - how their courtship was like. 3) Some personal friends who talked about their courtship period. What was common among these 3 pieces is the fact that their courtship period was nothing spectacular. I like what Yuerong mentioned and I totally agree to it - Asian idol dramas always portray a very unrealistic picture of men in this world. We girls, if not careful, will hopelessly pine away our golden years for a perfect guy that will only exist in REEL dramas. Because in idol dramas, the way lovers meet is always by fate and coincidence. They usually begin by bickering and end up loving one another instead. Reality check: How many fates and coincidences can we count on in real life? Selah. Then, I asked myself - if I am to choose between having a boring courtship but have a long and blissful marriage afterwards, versus a thunder-storm-rain-lightning-by-fate-&-coincidence courtship experience, but ending up in a divorce, I rather settle for a "boring" courtship. This made me realize that the desire & effort for both the guy and girl to work that courtship into relationship and into LONG TERM marriage is far, far more important than seeking after a hopelessly romantic courtship and relationship. Sometimes, we are so caught up in the here & now that we forget to pursue the things that truly matters. If we get ourselves into a relationship that is really romantic, then good for us. But it will only be worth celebrating if that relationship lasts a lifetime, because THAT is the true measure of how much both parties in the relationship cherish one another.
