Saturday's night mood

It's a quiet Saturday night as i blogged, with my room mates aka sibling out. Read a blog which a friend told me about and kinda find myself in a thoughtful mood.

Skip this entry if you're feeling well-defined in your life. Skip this entry if you want to be convinced your current lifestyle is right for you and you need no more questions to confuse your otherwise contented mind.

************************************************************************************
The small word which many could hardly grasp it in its right proportions. Some feel it's overestimated, some underestimated its powers (if i'm permitted to use that). Yup, you probably guess it: LOVE

Why this word could churn out millions of songs and words of abuse, billions of tears and smiles, spot couples down the aisle and just as many ending up in law firms.

Why this word could invoke butterflies in your stomach, fuzzy warmth in your heart and yet, shatters it with hatred and jealousy.

Why many crave for it, why some play it like a whiz and why some never find it happening in their lifetime?

I've seen how many define it, how many shun it, have personally tried defining, finding myself compromising for it in order to best enjoy the goodness of it. And end of it all, i find i still dont quite know it as well as i thought i should.

At the end of it, i find myself wondering if it's love that's hard to define or Perhaps me myself that's ever changing and so never finding myself aligned with love and happiness in the same path.

Wait, does love always warrant happiness? Or maybe compromising has always been part of the package to attain long-term happiness which nobody (especially those blissful living happily ever after) reveals?

They say, you should be comfortable with yourself in a relationship and should never need to change yourself to suit the other because that will just be superficial and tiring in the long run as you're never yourself. AND YET, they also say (of cos this "they" being different from the first "they"), also mentioned that love comes in the form of giving in to each other, not being calculative about who's in it more than the others. Sometimes, one just gotta give in and relent and hence allowing the other to cherish you for what you've done, despite your wishes.

So .... ultimately, who is correct?

Could this be again, one of those many questions where there is not straight-cut direct answer (monosyllabic) ?

Could this be one of those subjected to individual values, perspectives and behaviour?Open ended answer with no right or wrong?

Well, LOVE (pun intended) to continue and just rattle more questions to those who stuck it to the end of this entry, but i'm supposed to head out double o soon and there goes my hope of having a nice quiet night to myself.

Just for entry sake:
1. Woke up to uncle's greeting rather .. exclaim that i'm still asleep when it's lunch. Mum cooked prawns and crabs.
2. Another cousin came over to my house and we spent time looking at my old photos. convo pictures. DARN it's been one year, people!!!!!
3. Went swimming with mum and bro at aunt's condo. Nice private pool.
4. Chicken chops for dinner outside and blog. Gosh, that all i've been up to till now.
