Love~

"LOVE", something you and I hear very often on television shows, radio shows, songs, movies, books and virtually on every possible media source. I looked it up the dictionary and I got this - "a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.".

I believe all of us, if not a huge majority of us have experienced love either on the giving or the receiving end. For most of us, we experience love from our parents. After all, it is our parents who brought us to this very world we live in. Believe you me, it was far from easy for them to bring us up and teach us to be good samaritans; at least for most of us.

A friend of mine suddenly pop a question to me a week ago, "why don't you blog about love and see what are your thoughts about love?". Frankly, I never really sat down to think about love. Probably due to the fact that I spend most of time hating my job!

So for today, I am going to try to ask myself what is love and what I perceive love to be. Perfect topic for tonight given my depressing and sad state.

I must admit, my very first experience of love came from my parents! If they neglected me, I would not be who I am today and I will not be even typing out this blog for the matter. I also felt love with my pet dog, - he never fails to come running towards me every night I get home tired and grouchy from work!

Otherwise, I felt love when I was dating some time ago. Ask me whether it was a nice feeling, I'd say it was a nice feeling. Sadly, I never had much dating experience due to poor management of emotions and time. Quite frankly, I duly admit it is something I must work on dearly!

I guess when someone asks me about love, presumably it should be relating to the lovey dovey situation people get into when falling for the opposite sex. I never had many relationships so, therefore it concludes my extreme lack of experience and exposure to such feelings. My perception - when someone meets the person he truly adores, it would be like having to be on cloud nine; totally falling head over heels for that one person; willing to do anything to get that one person's attention; and would ultimately want to be that one person's life long partner. From that perspective, love is not something one would be able to experience every day and it is something that comes when it just comes.

Personally, I have spoken to many wonderful wedded couples and I have asked them how is it that they knew they were right for each other. I think all the couples I spoke to gave me similar answers saying they never knew it was coming and somehow deep down in their hearts they knew the chemistry was right between both of them.

I guess I haven't reach a point in life where I can say, "she's the one!" :S

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in ...

my first tow truck ride

It was like every other Saturday morning for me yesterday. Woke up early to get breakfast, get ready for my weekly rock climbing sessions. I felt pretty good yesterday since I managed to sleep the night before so I was feeling very energized and upbeat about my climb session. I might have spoke too soon though because my car decided to pull a fast one on me. I found it surprising because I always went on preventive maintenance for my car so I really wasn't expecting any breakdowns especially I didn't hear any sound symptoms, neither did I saw any signs of an impending breakdown. After all, it is only logical that mechanical parts would give out some form of symptoms to let you know it's about to go. I was actually driving myself to rock climbing, feeling all geared up and gung-ho about it. As I approached an uphill climb and right bend, I realised I was losing compression and the car was starting not respond to my pedal work on the accelerator. To make matters worse because...
