It's been five days since the so-called "Heart's Day", but the fever of it is still in the air! Literally! Figuratively(as what Ted Moseby, of HIMYM would say)! The V-Day Fever is still on as what I am seeing everywhere. Or maybe I'm just jealous since I don't have "someone" right now. I feel alone!! Haist.
So back to the lesson of love, my professor in Sining ng Pakikipagtalastasan (Art of Speaking) just told us about his V-day. That he asked his girlfriend to have a dinner with him outside. So the girl prepared as she thought that they will eat in a fancy restaurant, but what she thought was wrong because the "outside" means literally outside!! My professor set-up a table with candles and flowers and he surprised his girlfriend with these things. The girl was shocked but we laugh about it and I think it was an old joke, to eat "outside" is just literally eating OUTSIDE. It was romantic, I think, but our professor said it was due to lack of time and money that's why he just wanted to have a dinner "outside" with his girlfriend. -the end-
I know you are asking where is the lesson that I am talking about,but the story is just beginning! It's just the start of the story that I will tell. HAHA weird.
So next part of the story is about the sudden talk of "What is love?". Yeah! Just out of the blue, my professor ask us about what is love, maybe because he is still high about the V-day. Haha. So someone answered that "Love takes time", and my professor joked that Love "takes" time.Get it? Love takes away time. A new joke for me. LOL. And my other classmate answered that his husband (yes. your read it right. my classmate become a mother at a young age. Mga kabataan talaga ngayon mapupusok!) always tell her "I love you from the bottom of my hypothalamus". A bit cheesy but makes sense. Right? And my professor laugh at it, telling jokes about relating hypothalamus to hippopotamus. And then our professor became serious and the lesson about love begins.
He said that what my classmate's husband told really makes a perfect sense. Because for him, loving should not just follow what your heart feels. We should use also our brains. This is why God give us brains, what my professor said. And then he talks and talks about
The other lesson about love that the professor told us is that you are free when you are single and when you enter a relationship, you should be twice or 10 times as free as when you're single. I don't think it made sense to me. But he explained that your partner shouldn't be strict to you and play as the master and you as the puppet. Partners should give each other freedom or choice on what the others will do and do not dictate what you want the other to do. Relationship should not hinder the growth of one's self. Partners should not restrict each others to grow as a person. You are only in a relationship, what more if you're going to marry each other, right? The restrictions will only make the other to the inevitable truth of giving up.
It was funny at first but as you will think further it makes sense. It makes a perfect sense. But for me, I don't want to think about it at first. I enjoy being single. I enjoy caring for myself. I enjoy buying things for myself. I enjoy everything. HAHA! Selfish? Yeah! I know. But I miss this feeling of only thinking of myself. :) Don't blame me for being so selfish since I already became selfless during my past relationships. HAHA :P
I think this entry will be a perfect fit for my WHATEVER WEDNESDAY!!! Whatever! :))
