happy valentine's day, or as mango says it, it's single awareness day, lol

to add on to my lame entry, i shall tell you about a nice movie i watched! it's a film called the kiterunner, and it's about two boys who spent their childhood together. they both loved to fly kites, and were very close to each other. but one day, one of the boys turned his back on his friend, even though his friend went through something horrible for the honour of their friendship. years later, when he found out that that friend was actually his brother, and who was now dead, he went back to taliban-ruled kabul to find his nephew. and he finally could repent his ways and came full circle to understanding love. a nice touching movie!

in a jodi picoult book titled 'the pact', i read how a boy and girl grew to love each other from childhood, and their love blossomed into something so lasting that the guy shot the girl cause she wanted her misery to end. the words that described their love was so touching, it made me hope that i would one day find that kind of love, a love that sustains. when every memory and every thought you have is somehow related to that one person. a touch can make you feel right at home where you belong, when you look at that person, and want to go through everything together.

the pact also asks the question of whether a parent can ever know their child? even though parents were the one to have taught the child almost everything, and spent each moment guarding their precious child, somehow the child always grows up too fast. he forms a world of his own with other people in them, and he spends less and less time at home. so the parents can only trust their heart to believe in the character of their child remains steadfast and good. the parents learn to let their child go, because they love him, and want him to be happy, even though they are afraid he'll be hurt and do something wrong. but they love him, so they learn to let him go.

different kinds of love, but equally touching.
