hey, it's super early in the morning, but i'm glad im gonna post this up. chanced upon this as i was surfing and i think it really is meaningful. something that we sometimes take for granted. sometimes we even forget that it exists. but what we know, is that it makes us powerful, and makes the world go round. it is called LOVE. here's a little something for you to enjoy. smile if you want to, cry if you need to.

Child's Definition of LOVE.

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca - age 8

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4

Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen," Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6

"There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds of them." Jenny - age 8

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore," Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine -age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." Karen - age 7

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget," Jessica - age 8

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

hey yo!!

back from an awesome camp! there are times when i felt that my words were not getting thru to the campers, and that feeling can make u kinda demoralized. but the appreciations showed that they actualli listened and i did make a diff in their lives. it's realli very heartening to know that. makes what we do as coaches very very worthwhile.

new challenges ahead, coming up next week. anxious, pressure and nervous at the same time. will do all i can to bring out the best in everybody, even myself.

cheers.

let's see. will b having camp the next 4 days. so yea y not..take this time to blog. could be nonsense, could make sense. you be your own judge yea.

how i wish life's more straightforward. how i wish everyone (incl. myself) can be honest without having to think of any consequences. im prolly not the onli one struggling with this issue. life's a lie, has been a lie if you ask me.

it's not easy finding frens or someone who can tolerate who you realli are, your idiosyncracies and at the same time you accept or tolerate theirs too. i guess that's y good frens are afew eh?

all these identity concealing shit make life some board game that we're all forced to play. now that im chilling and thinking about it, it kinda suck. it realli kinda suck. everyday's a guessing game of what people want, how they are and the like. and check this out, it's getting more prevalent on each passing day.

however, i do appreciate my very very close frens. u noe hu u r yo! nice to have roses among thorns. they're such motivation.

su, your utopia is gone! it's never coming back. what i need to do, is to embrace yo. focus is on the professional goals.

cheers!

This song's pretty cool. The kinda song you'll listen to when u walk back home in the wee hours of nite. awesome shit! enjoy!

wow. the past few days have been truly amazing. best best days ever. the past few days were one of those rare days where the source of my energy came truly from love. it's been a while since i felt that way, and it's been a while since i opened up. feels really good.

for me, the past few days actualli forced me to realli realli realli put others above self. my life has made me desensitized to pain. what i've gone through many many years back have resulted me in losing the ability to feel pain. the pain that i went thru many years ago, to me, will be the worst ever in my life. nothing else in life, no obstacles can ever match up to that huge blow 12 years ago.

since 12 years ago, every single day made me stronger, more independent but also colder. and now, i've reached a point in my life where it is very difficult for me to emphatize with people, be it frens or acquaintances, with trivial obstacles or issues.

so u put me in a position as in the past 3 days, seriously forced me to reach into my softer side and understand, that everybody has different needs and I seriously need to start understanding and respect that fact. cos im always pushing myself. driven by results and prospects, i'll do whatever it takes to reach my own goals, sometimes abandoning all forms of emotions altogether.

i hate to admit it but i guess my own life isn't all abt me. my life is all about people around me too. im very glad that the past 3 days happened. and im also very glad to have met very strong and supportive people who are willing to challenge themselves out of their comfort zone, challenge themselves with mere acquaintances. im full of admiration for them, admire them even more than i admire myself. on a lighter note, they're damn funni, adorable and loveable la.

all in all, power experience. anchored.

oh gosh, this is so fun...seriously fun.

seriously looking forward to noMADic on mon yo! call me a geek man, dun care, im raring to go for nomadic, tho my legs a bit cramped now after walking around town for a while. to all shop-a-holics out there, all hail to you for enduring the shopping fatigue.

it's amazing what you can do with ad-hoc connections. one very good use for a non-working, non-business personnel like myself would be for a process called LAN gaming.
