50 first dates

it was nice to see "50 first dates" again. while admittedly, i wasn't able to see it in the big screen, it would have been great to see it with someone special - oh yeah! wouldn't it be nice (which coincidentally is one of the best songs in the movie that is not in the album) if everytime you are with that special person, it feels like the first time. the first time you met, the first time you went out, those first times that makes your hand shaky and make you tongue tied. sometimes i do wish life can be like that - innocent, full of first times and not tainted by the complications of relationships. how lovely would it be to forget about the sad stories of yesterday and look at the world with innocence. well, there probably are more drawbacks to that than not experiencing life in one continuous block. it may also be somewhat of a coward's way out in dealing with the trivialities of living but maybe a life "reset" button isn't a bad thing either. i do wish i can have my "wouldn't it be nice" person and all the complications that come with that package. it would just be nice to have another distraction. for the longest time, i wished that person would have been mcbaby but i think that chapter of my life is about to end soon.

dear mcbaby, there's still so much left unsaid and so much i should tell you, but my friends are right. i've given so much of me to loving you that i've been blinded and obsessed and have done stupid things to get you to at least like me. i really don't want to do that anymore. i really do deserve something better than this - i've been a good friend and a good son - and i know that somebody else will see that. the next days, weeks and months is going to be hard but i will try, because i owe it to myself to be happy. yuan*

What do you mean by your "wouldn't it be nice" person?

my "wouldn't it be nice" person would be someone you can sing that beatle's song that they played in the movie...

"Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long
And wouldn’t it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know it’s gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we’ve been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn’t it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn’t be a single thing we couldn’t do
We could be married
And then we’d be happy

Wouldn’t it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn’t it be nice"

Is that some kind of marriage proposal or what?

oopss, sorry it should have been beach boys, not beatles ... thanks!

me, i'm the kind of person who believes in romance and all that fairy tale crap, so that person would have to be somebody you can't live without, that you would love to grow old with, that when you see them - you see the world in different colors. it sounds stupid but it happens cause i felt like that for somebody already. =)

and no, its not a marriage proposal.

AAwWWW! Thats so cute! :) You should sing that song to that person! Oh but I see you used the past tense so nevermind.

thanks kim.

i'm sure love will come around a second, a third, or even a fourth time around. there are billions of people in the world so while there probably is one perfect soulmate, that doesn't mean we have to ignore the other people around who can offer the same intense love we are all aspiring for. =)

btw, thanks for the comments & for reading.
