Swimming !

2009-04-09T09:34:00.000-07:00

I went swimming today, my little angels kept begging me to accompany them that I've no choice but to oblige. I haven't been swimming since sec1, and I almost drown! Maybe because I'm heavier now so I have to try very very hard to stay above waters and not sink to the bottom! =.= Lols.....I had no idea how to swim with my 'frog stunts' and struggle for quite a long time in the waters until I was so pissed off and went to join those little kids in the baby pool! Ahhh! I should have gone there earlier.

Real love does not happen all of a sudden. When people say, ''We fell in love the moment we met,'' they actually mean that each corresponded to a certain ideal image held by the other. Most of us create these ideals in our minds whether we realize it or not. Thus, when we find someone who looks, acts and talks the way we imagined this special individual would, we are attracted- but that's all it is. Love can develop, but it takes time.

Jealousy is not a sign of true love. One of the greatest mistakes young people can make is to believe that the more violent the jealousy, the stronger the love. Some jealousy is normal between two people who care deeply about each other. But jealousy is really possessiveness, not love. Psychoanalyst Dr. Theodor Reik says that people who suffer acutely from jealousy often have an underlying sense of insecurity which leads to an overwhelming need to be loved. As a result, they can be extremely jealous even though they may not be in love at all.

Mooning, sighing and daydreaming are signs of infatuation, not love. Here's why: Real love is centered around the other person, with your whole behavior directed toward his or her welfare and happiness. Thus, a boy or girl in love can study and work comfortably, knowing he or she is thereby contributing to the other's happiness. Infatuation, on the other hand, is self-centered. The smitten one becomes absorbed in his own misery at being separated from the adored one or in daydreaming about her. He is in love with love, not a human being.

Love does not diminish when one is away from the loved one. If you love a person more when you are with him, chances are that your judgment is being influenced by the charm and excitement of his presence. When he is not around to dazzle you, some doubts emerge as Dr. David R. Mace, executive director of the American Association of Marriage Counselors, put it: if you feel this way, indications are the love is superficial.

Love is not really blind to a beloved's faults. The person in love knows and understands the other's shortcomings but cares deeply nonetheless. The infatuated person has a tendency to regard the adored one as flawless.

An unhappy home life can trick you into thinking you're in love. The files of marriage counselors are filled with cases of younger people who ''fell in love'' and married when all they really wanted was to escape from pressures they considered unbearable. For example, a young girl who is constantly battling with her parents sees her boy friend as the rescuing knight in shining armor who will ''take her away from all this.'' She isn't in love- she just wants out.

Love cannot always perch on Cloud9: it must be practical, too. Two of the most crucial elements in a marriage, experts point out, are money and children. Young people seriously in love must know each other's views on these topics. If a couple hasn't talked them out, chances are the romance hasn't reached the real love stage.

Love does not make lovers ill at ease. Dr. Mace declares that when the way you are impressing the other person is the dominant concern in a relationship, real love is still distant. When you know you are loved for what you are, you feel at ease in the other's presence.

Being companions in misery is not the same as being in love. Marriage partners should be able to share miseries, but such sharing is not in itself love. All too frequently, young people mix up the two and enter into marriage simply because each has discovered a fellow sufferer with whom to unite against an unfriendly background.

Love is a private bond between two people. Authorities agree it can't be real if one party permits intimate details of a relationship to be made public. It may be a bit of prestige in the group, but hardly love.

How deep is your love

2009-03-25T23:42:00.000-07:00

Intimacy Score: 78
Passion Score:80
Commitment: 86

Sternberg says that love is like a triangle, and the best kind of love is an equilateral triangle - one in which all three sides are of equal length. What he means, of course, is that love is best when we experience intimacy, passion, and commitment in approximately equal intensities. So you are fortunate indeed if your scores in all three categories were about average and about the same.

If your scores on the three dimensions of love are widely different or if you had one or two scores below average, it does not necessarily mean that your relationship is in trouble. All relationships have their ups and downs, and it is. likely that the scores you'd obtain a year from now would be quite different from the scores you have today. You might want to take the test a second time and respond as you would when you are feeling best about your partner. This could give you an indication of the potential of your relationship.

Your scores are also likely to reflect how long you have been with your partner. We tend to become involved in a romantic relationship because we experience the right 'chemistry' - or what Sternberg calls 'passion'. This component is usually highest during the first year or two of a relationship. While passion has a tendency to lose its intensity over time, the most successful relationships continue to maintain a healthy dose of this element.

The second stage of a relationship is generally marked by the development of intimacy. Once we decide we are attracted to a man, we begin to confide in him; we want to share all our secrets with him, to tell our loved one our life story. This component tends to reach its peak a year or two after the relationship has begun, but the most successful relationships maintain a high level of intimacy indefinitely.

At some point - maybe after six months, maybe six years - we develop a sense of commitment to our partner. We value the relationship enough that we will do whatever we can to maintain it. It is this sense of commitment that helps us to weather the difficult times that are a part of every relationship. Commitment tends to be strongest for couples who have been together for several years.

The happiest couples are those who have similar love triangles for each other. Sternberg, who obviously remembers his school mathematics well, calls this 'congruency'. In other words, if you have strong passion for your partner but are a little low on intimacy, you are likely to have problems if you partner is highest on intimacy and lowest on passion. We are happiest in a relationship when our partner feels about us the way we would like him to. You may want the man you love to complete this test, so you can determine how compatible the two of you are. It would be nice to discover that you have congruent love triangles.

A person should go out on the water on a fine day to a small distance from a beautiful coast, if he would see Nature really smile. Never does she look so delightful, as when the sun is brightly reflected by the water, while the waves are gently rippling, and the prospect receives life and animation from the glancing transit of an occasional row-boat, and the quieter motion of a few small vessels. But the land must be well in sight; not only for its own sake, but because the immensity and awfulness of a mere sea-view would ill accord with the other parts of the glittering and joyous scene. ~Augustus William Hare
