true love means...

[michiko]

1. find a guy/ girl who call you beautiful/handsome instead of hot.
2. who call you back when you hang up on him/her.
3. who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
4. wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.
5. who wants to show off the world when you are in sweat.
6. who holds your hand in front of his friends.
7. wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he/she cares about you and how lucky he/she is to have you.
8. wait for the one who turns to his/ her friends and says,"... that's him/her.:)


sa mga single ito daw ang reminders para mahanap ang true love..

sa mga married naman ganito ba ang natagpuan nyong true love?:)

[infinite_trial]

3. who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.

hi michiko-san!

further to your post, i came across this article on "partners & marriage" which maybe related to finding your "true love". it's quite a read though, but it's worth the time....
--------------------
PARTNERS AND MARRIAGE
by Eduardo Jose E. Calasanz
I have never met a man who didn't want to be loved. But I have seldom met a man who didn't fear marriage. Something about the closure seems constricting, not enabling. Marriage seems easier to understand for what it cuts out of our lives than for what it makes possible within our lives.

When I was younger this fear immobilized me. I did not want to make a mistake. I saw my friends get married for reasons of social acceptability, or sexual fever, or just because they thought it was the logical thing to do. Then I watched, as they and their partners became embittered and petty in their dealings with each other. I looked at older couples and saw, at best, mutual toleration of each other. I imagined a lifetime of loveless nights and bickering and could not imagine subjecting myself or someone else to such a fate.
And yet, on rare occasions, I would see old couples who somehow seemed to glow in each other's presence. They seemed really in love, not just dependent upon each other and tolerant of each other's foibles. It was an astounding sight, and it seemed impossible. How, I asked myself, can they have survived so many years of sameness, so much irritation at the other's habits?

What keeps love alive in them, when most of us seem unable to even stay together, much less love each other? The central secret seems to be in choosing well. There is something to the claim of fundamental compatibility. Good people can create a bad relationship, even though they both dearly want the relationship to succeed. It is important to find someone with whom you can create a good relationship from the outset. Unfortunately, it is hard to see clearly in the early stages.

Sexual hunger draws you to each other and colors the way you see yourselves together. It blinds you to the thousands of little things by which relationships eventually survive or fail. You need to find a way to see beyond this initial overwhelming sexual fascination. Some people choose to involve themselves sexually and ride out the most heated period of sexual attraction in order to see what is on the other side. This can work, but it can also leave a trail of wounded hearts. Others deny the sexual side altogether in an attempt to get to know each other apart from their sexuality. But they cannot see clearly, because the presence of unfulfilled sexual desire looms so large that it keeps them from having any normal perception of what life would be like together. The truly lucky people are the ones who manage to become long- time friends before they realize they are attracted to each other. They get to know each other's laughs, passions, sadness, and fears. They see each other at their worst and at their best. They share time together before they get swept into the entangling intimacy of their sexuality.

This is the ideal, but not often possible. If you fall under the spell of your sexual attraction immediately, you need to look beyond it for other keys to compatibility. One of these is laughter. Laughter tells you how much you will enjoy each other's company over the long term. If your laughter together is good and healthy, and not at the expense of others, then you have a healthy relationship to the world. Laughter is the child of surprise. If you can make each other laugh, you can always surprise each other. And if you can always surprise each other, you can always keep the world around you new. Beware of a relationship in which there is no laughter. Even the most intimate relationships based only on seriousness have a tendency to turn sour. Over time, sharing a common serious viewpoint on the world tends to turn you against those who do not share the same viewpoint, and your relationship can become based on being critical together.

After laughter, look for a partner who deals with the world in a way you respect. When two people first get together, they tend to see their relationship as existing only in the space between the two of them. They find each other endlessly fascinating, and the overwhelming power of the emotions they are sharing obscures the outside world. As the relationship ages and grows, the outside world becomes important again. If your partner treats people or circumstances in a way you can't accept, you will inevitably come to grief. Look at the way she cares for others and deals with the daily affairs of life. If that makes you love her more, your love will grow. If it does not, be careful. If you do not respect the way you each deal with the world around you, eventually the two of you will not respect each other.
Look also at how your partner confronts the mysteries of life. We live on the cusp of poetry and practicality, and the real life of the heart resides in the poetic. If one of you is deeply affected by the mystery of the unseen in life and relationships, while the other is drawn only to the literal and the practical, you must take care that the distance doesn't become an unbridgeable gap that leaves you each feeling isolated and misunderstood.

There are many other keys, but you must find them by yourself. We all have unchangeable parts of our hearts that we will not betray and private commitments to a vision of life that we will not deny. If you fall in love with someone who cannot nourish those inviolable parts of you, or if you cannot nourish them in her, you will find yourselves growing further apart until you live in separate worlds where you share the business of life, but never touch each other where the heart lives and dreams. From there it is only a small leap to the cataloging of petty hurts and daily failures that leaves so many couples bitter and unsatisfied with their mates.

So choose carefully and well. If you do, you will have chosen a partner with whom you can grow, and then the real miracle of marriage can take place in your hearts. I pick my words carefully when I speak of a miracle. But I think it is not too strong a word. There is a miracle in marriage. It is called transformation. Transformation is one of the most common events of nature. The seed becomes the flower. The cocoon becomes the butterfly. Winter becomes spring and love becomes a child. We never question these, because we see them around us every day. To us they are not miracles, though if we did not know them they would be impossible to believe.

Marriage is a transformation we choose to make.

Our love is planted like a seed, and in time it begins to flower. We cannot know the flower that will blossom, but we can be sure that a bloom will come. If you have chosen carefully and wisely, the bloom will be good. If you have chosen poorly or for the wrong reason, the bloom will be flawed. We are quite willing to accept the reality of negative transformation in a marriage. It was negative transformation that always had me terrified of the bitter marriages that I feared when I was younger.

It never occurred to me to question the dark miracle that transformed love into harshness and bitterness. Yet I was unable to accept the possibility that the first heat of love could be transformed into something positive that was actually deeper and more meaningful than the heat of fresh passion. All I could believe in was the power of this passion and the fear that when it cooled I would be left with something lesser and bitter. But there is positive transformation as well. Like negative transformation, it results from a slow accretion of little things. But instead of death by a thousand blows, it is growth by a thousand touches of love. Two histories intermingle. Two separate beings, two separate presence, two separate consciousnesses come together and share a view of life that passes before them. They remain separate, but they also become one. There is an expansion of awareness, not a closure and a constriction, as I had once feared. This is not to say that there is not tension and there are not traps. Tension and traps are part of every choice of life, from celibate to monogamous to having multiple lovers. Each choice contains within it the lingering doubt that the road not taken somehow more fruitful and exciting, and each becomes dulled to the richness that it alone contains. But only marriage allows life to deepen and expand and be leavened by the knowledge that two have chosen, against all odds, to become one. Those who live together without marriage can know the pleasure of shared company, but there is a specific gravity in the marriage commitment that deepens that experience into something richer and more complex.

So do not fear marriage, just as you should not rush into it for the wrong reasons. It is an act of faith and it contains within it the power of transformation.

If you believe in your heart that you have found someone with whom you are able to grow, if you have sufficient faith that you can resist the endless attraction of the road not taken and the partner not chosen, if you have the strength of heart to embrace the cycles and seasons that your love will experience, then you may be ready to seek the miracle that marriage offers. If not, then wait. The easy grace of a marriage well made is worth your patience. When the time comes, a thousand flowers will bloom... endlessly.

@ greatbarrier
medyo mahaba nga...:D ang song namin ng asawa ko "I wanna grow old with you":)
sya na ang true love ko...:) kasi sya ang gusto kong makasama pagtanda ko...

ikaw ba natagpuan mo na true love mo o searching pa?:)

----------------------
right now, i think that remains to be seen. i don't really know if he's my true love or not...but i can feel the connection everytime we talk....though it's just virtual communication...so, it's really difficult.....but he's just really nice to talk with, yun parang there's an unseen bond between us...so indescribable! i've never met a guy like him before! kaya nga i'm dying to meet him in person! to confirm if that "bond" remains unchange.....

yeah, we just know each other's face thru the pictures.....

but our situation now does not permit us to see each other....there has to be some compromises i guess...

but i believe that if he's really the man for me, we will be able to bridge whatever gaps we have right now...........maybe sounds too good to be true, but that's how i see it now...

wish us luck..........:)

[michiko]

goodluck to both of you...:) kahit naman malayo pwedeng mag work ang isang relasyon basta mahal nyo ang isa't isa...:)

domo arigato, michiko-san! sana nga, coz right at this moment, what i only wish is sana nga he is the guy i've been waiting for!

[chris_rock]

distance is such a formidable opponent in a relationship. sometimes it get's you thinking, 'is it still worth holding on?'...'is it still worth the wait?'

it gets frustrating at times; trying to look for the answer when you can't seem to find one.

would it be too much to ask for an assurance of some kind? just to have something to hold on to...

i guess you're right ms michiko, there are still a lot of things to be thankful for.

:)

[nikita]

... .if you're on to something good then i think it's worth holding on to.. surely worth it in the end.... just think that it's one day closer, hang in there :)

[greatbarrier]

@chris rock
u know what chris_rock, minsan, i can't help not to think that way! especially if i go out & see happy couples....one time, i also got an e-mail saying that long-distance relationship is a fatal flaw to a relationship...& it gets me more frustrated....

kaya lang, i can't do anything about it....i have to be here & he has to be there...siguro nga, at a certain point, we have to compromise...

do u think getting an assurance so that you have something to hold on to is enough? isn't the love that you have for each other enough assurance?

yeah, i guess you're just in your vulnerable mood...that also happens to me...but as i've said, i can't do anything but just keep the faith...sounds too idealistic...but i guess i just have to hold on to his good nature.....

@docomo
yeah, i agree with you....

@nikita
bakit naman di ka naniniwala sa true love? do u think it's just a state of mind? have u been broken-hearted? they say, the lessons that we learn from pain are the ones that make us strongest....

[chris_rock]

gb, i couldn't agree with you more on that. its' been like what, 6 years now. if that hasn't been keeping the faith, i don't know what is. please don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining because i chose this path. sometimes, you just have to get it off your chest. makes sleeping at night a little less difficult.

[michiko]

ok sige pm ko na lang sayo kung kelan at saan kung saka sakali... :)

kusang darating sayo yan frenship... wait lang ng konte.. di pa daw yata pinapanganak eh... hehehehe.. joke lang po..:D

kidding aside.. pag nakita mo na ang mga signs na true love sya gaya ng sinulat ko sa start ng thread... wag mo na pakawalan frenship!:)

[greatbarrier]

----------------------
wow! u must really love her! i don't wanna argue with you coz i have no idea about your case. maybe we're in a different boat!

but then again, when you chose to wait 6 (more or less) years ago, you knew somehow that you have something to hold on to!

now, you may consider evaluating the situation (all factors to be taken into account) before and at present....

i can relate to the sleepless nights.......beer lang katapat nyan.....(hehehe...j oke lang po)

anyway, don't be too sad! what is good about sunset is, it promises sunrise that symbolizes hope, a new beginning, a new life! do u know the book "the little prince", there's a quote there saying "the desert is beautiful, because somewhere it hides a well."

[greatbarrier]

ok sige pm ko na lang sayo kung kelan at saan kung saka sakali... :)

can't wait to receive your pm....... :)

looking forward to meeting you guys.......... :yesyes:

mami meet ko na rin ang mga nagtatagong kagandahan and kagwapuhan ng mga taga TF who will be there at the EB ;)

@greatbarrier,

doon sa lahat ng binanggit ni @michiko.totoo yun sa aming dalawa.kaya lang masyadong malayo distance namin,once a year lang kung magkita kami,naghihintay pa rin sya .kung kailan ako maging free,although malalaki na mga kids ko.hintay ko pa maka graduate yun bunso ng senior high school,siguro..sigur o lang...ito na yung true love and soulmate ko..sana.....team song din namin yun I wanna grow old with you..good luck sa iyo..;)

good luck to both of you.....did u also read my post about partners&marriage. medyo mahaba, but it's really a nice piece....

napatingin tuloy ulit ako sa posting ni michiko-san....'coz it seems like most don't apply to my case....
1. find a guy/ girl who call you beautiful/handsome instead of hot. hmm...he calls me pretty, don't know if he's making bola :D
2. who call you back when you hang up on him/her. we only talk thru chat but he sees to it that he says "hi" and "i miss you" from time to time...
3. who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. di pa kami nagmeet eh....
4. wait for the guy who kisses your forehead. same answer to #3.
5. who wants to show off the world when you are in sweat. same answer to #3.
6. who holds your hand in front of his friends. same answer to #3.
7. wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he/she cares about you and how lucky he/she is to have you. seems like this applies coz he always says that he misses me a lot. before i told him that i do like him, he always say that the guy who will be my husband would really be a lucky guy...(maybe bola again.....:) )
8. wait for the one who turns to his/ her friends and says,"... that's him/her. same answer to #3.

so your honor, the verdict is ....mukhang questionable....:(

basta...there is this indescribable feeling between us....as i've said in my other post, an unseen bond that hopefully connects us together in the near future....

i just always tell myself, time and distance are unimportant...when the person is in your heart, he/she remains there eternally....& if you're destined to be together, fate and love will find their ways to make it happen....

& now i can say my faith is strong enough to believe that it will happen to us.....

maybe i'm a hopeless romantic....but that's how i feel now....

thanks to him also to make me realize not to be afraid of the future....

(dami ko na pala posts sa thread na to ha.....:D )

[chris_rock]

gb, i've always believed that 'everything will be better in the morning' and a couple of other things. i guess that's what kept me on the sane side this long. oh well, different strokes for different folks.

here's wishing you all the best in your situation.

ps beer helps...tequila on the other hand, helps a lot! :)

the little prince was required reading for us in school. although i would have preferred some other titles :).

regards. see you in july!

[brownman]

true love is when you don't want to sleep because reality is better than a dream:)

[DaVinci]

True love means sleepless nights....:)

[goodsensei]

...false love is when you want others to sacrifice for yourself or using others for your own benefit,

...while true love is the vice versa.

[greatbarrier]

True love means sleepless nights....:)
-----------------------
@DaVinci
i agree with you....ganun nga yata if love struck ka.....sleepless nights coz either you think of him or you spend time talking to him....

haay!!!!!!!kaya nga ba some of the wise & famous men have these quotes:

Plato: Love is a grave mental disease.

Einstein: Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

Jules Renard: Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.

Pedro Calderon dela Barca: When love is not madness, it is not love.

PARTNERS AND MARRIAGE
by Eduardo Jose E. Calasanz
I have never met a man who didn't want to be loved. But I have seldom met a man who didn't fear marriage. Something about the closure seems constricting, notenabling. Marriage seems easier to understand for what it cuts out of our lives than for what it makes possible within our lives.

When I was younger this fear immobilized me. I did not want to make a mistake. I saw my friends get married for reasons of social acceptability, or sexual fever,or just because they thought it was the logical thing to do. Then I watched, as they and their partners became embittered and petty in their dealings with each other. I looked at older couples and saw, at best, mutual toleration of each other. I imagined a lifetime of loveless nights and bickering and could not imagine subjecting myself or someone else to such a fate.
And yet, on rare occasions, I would see old couples who somehow seemed to glow in each other's presence. They seemed really in love, not just dependent upon each other and tolerant of each other's foibles. It was an astounding sight, and it seemed impossible. How, I asked myself, can they have survived so many years of sameness, so much irritation at the other's habits?

What keeps love alive in them, when most of us seem unable to even stay together, much less love each other? The central secret seems to be in choosing well. There is something to the claim of fundamental compatibility. Good people can create a bad relationship, even though they both dearly want the relationship to succeed. It is important to find someone with whom you can create a good relationship from the outset. Unfortunately, it is hard to see clearly in the early stages.

Sexual hunger draws you to each other and colors the way you see yourselves together. It blinds you to the thousands of little things by which relationships eventually survive or fail. You need to find a way to see beyond this initial overwhelming sexual fascination. Some people choose to involve themselves sexually and ride out the most heated period of sexual attraction in order to see what is on the other side. This can work, but it can also leave a trail of wounded hearts. Others deny the sexual side altogether in an attempt to get to know each other apart from their sexuality. But they cannot see clearly, because the presence of unfulfilled sexual desire looms solarge that it keeps them from having any normal perception of what life would be like together. The truly lucky people are the ones who manage to become long- time friends before they realize they are attracted to each other. They get to know each other's laughs, passions, sadness, and fears. They see each other at their worst and at their best. They share time together before they get swept into the entangling intimacy of their sexuality.

This is the ideal, but not often possible. If you fall under the spell of your sexual attraction immediately, you need to look beyond it for other keys to compatibility. One of these is laughter. Laughter tells you how much you will enjoy each other's company over the long term. If your laughter together is good and healthy, and not at the expense of others, then you have a healthy relationship to the world. Laughter is the child of surprise. If you can make each other laugh, you can always surprise each other. And if you can always surprise each other, you can always keep the world around you new. Beware of a relationship in which there is no laughter. Even the most intimate relationships based only on seriousness have a tendency to turn sour. Over time, sharing a common serious viewpoint on the world tends to turn you against those who do not share the same viewpoint, and your relationship can become based on being critical together.

After laughter, look for a partner who deals with the world in a way you respect. When two people first get together, they tend to see their relationship as existing only in the space between the two of them. They find each other endlessly fascinating, and the overwhelming power of the emotions they are sharing obscures the outside world. As the relationship ages and grows, the outside world becomes important again. If your partner treats people or circumstances in a way you can't accept, you will inevitably come to grief. Look at the way she cares for others and deals with the daily affairs of life. If that makes you love her more, your love will grow. If it does not, becareful. If you do not respect the way you each deal with the world around you, eventually the two of you will not respect each other.
Look also at how your partner confronts the mysteries of life. We live on the cusp of poetry and practicality, and the real life of the heart resides in the poetic. If one of you is deeply affected by the mystery of the unseen in life and relationships, while the other is drawn only to the literal and the practical, you must take care that the distance doesn't become an unbridgeable gap that leaves you each feeling isolated and misunderstood.

There are many other keys, but you must find them by yourself. We all have unchangeable parts of our hearts that we will not betray and private commitments to avision of life that we will not deny. If you fall in love with someone who cannot nourish those inviolable parts of you, or if you cannot nourish them in her, you will find yourselves growing further apart until you live in separate worlds where you share the business of life, but never touch each other where the heart lives and dreams. From there it is only a small leap to the cataloging of petty hurts and daily failures that leaves so many couples bitter and unsatisfied with their mates.

So choose carefully and well. If you do, you will have chosen a partner with whom you can grow, and then the real miracle of marriage can take place in your hearts. I pick my words carefully when I speak of a miracle. But I think it is not too strong a word. There is a miracle in marriage. It is called transformation. Transformation is one of the most common events of nature. The seed becomes the flower. The cocoon becomes the butterfly. Winter becomes spring and love becomes a child. We never question these, because we see them around us every day. To us they are not miracles, though if we did not know them they would be impossible to believe.

Marriage is a transformation we choose to make.

Our love is planted like a seed, and in time it begins to flower. We cannot know the flower that will blossom, but we can be sure that a bloom will come. If you have chosen carefully and wisely, the bloom will be good. If you have chosen poorly or for the wrong reason, the bloom will be flawed. We are quite willing to accept the reality of negative transformation in a marriage. It was negative transformation that always had me terrified of the bitter marriages that I feared when I was younger.

It never occurred to me to question the dark miracle that transformed love into harshness and bitterness. Yet I was unable to accept the possibility that the first heat of love could be transformed into something positive that was actually deeper and more meaningful than the heat of fresh passion. All I could believe in was the power of this passion and the fear that when it cooled I would be left with something lesser and bitter. But there is positive transformation as well. Like negative transformation, it results from a slow accretion of little things. But instead of death by a thousand blows, it is growth by a thousand touches of love. Two histories intermingle. Two separate beings, two separate presence, two separate consciousnesses come together and share a view of life that passes before them. They remain separate, but they also become one. There is an expansion of awareness, not a closure and a constriction, as I had once feared. This is not to say that there is not tension and there are not traps. Tension and traps are part of every choice of life, from celibate to monogamous to having multiple lovers. Each choice contains within it the lingering doubt that the road not taken somehow more fruitful and exciting, and each becomes dulled to the richness that it alone contains. But only marriage allows life to deepen and expand and be leavened by the knowledge that two have chosen, against all odds, to become one. Those who live together without marriage can know the pleasure of shared company, but there is a specific gravity in the marriage commitment that deepens that experience into something richer and more complex.

So do not fear marriage, just as you should not rush into it for the wrong reasons. It is an act of faith and it contains within it the power of transformation.

If you believe in your heart that you have found someone with whom you are able to grow, if you have sufficient faith that you can resist the endless attraction of the road not taken and the partner not chosen, if you have the strength of heart to embrace the cycles and seasons that your love will experience, then you may be ready to seek the miracle that marriage offers. If not, then wait. The easy grace of a marriage well made is worth your patience. When the time comes, a thousand flowers will bloom... endlessly.

at eto nga pala..idagdag ko lang sa Definition ng True Love by: KALEEM AZIZ


"True Love is one hundred percent dedication of the partners towards one another, and a commitment so strong that it goes for the life. It is the union of two souls which appears as two bodies to the world, but the partners feel themselves as one. True Love is not a one man show, but a team effort of trust, loyalty, security, dependability, love, emotions, dreams, aspirations, and commitments. No wonder, it is so difficult to accomplish!"

[cosmicbblgum]

From my own experience din :

True love is when you sacrifice your own happiness in exchange for the happiness of that someone you love most dearly.

True love is learning to forgive and understand that someone you love even though he/she has hurt you the most....though forgetting is another thing hehe.

True love is when your love is beyond physical and material boundaries, beyond age and time. Also not selfish, nor arrogant.

True love must have, faith and hope, but love is the most important of the 3.

[quote=greatbarrier;8 5459]hi michiko-san!

further to your post, i came across this article on "partners & marriage" which maybe related to finding your "true love". it's quite a read though, but it's worth the time....

PARTNERS AND MARRIAGE
by Eduardo Jose E. Calasanz
I have never met a man who didn't want to be loved. But I have seldom met a man who didn't fear marriage. Something about the closure seems constricting, notenabling. Marriage seems easier to understand for what it cuts out of our lives than for what it makes possible within our lives.

hello greatbarrier, AMEN! that was a great read....it sums up why I marry my husband:) Since for me I define true love is a feeling that endures, come what may.

[docomo]

What was the question again? :D aww True Love :p

When I hear this word "True Love" , I call foul! It should be call real love, and it is very attainable ... more people could have it if they knew how to make it work; sadly most people don't know how to identify their shortcomings or emotional baggage, and they expect a mate to stay in love with them when the excitement of infatuation is a fond memory.It's not about being beautiful or funny all day long.
You just have to know how to make yourself happy without being a selfish prick..you have to know how to communicate even the most embarassing, awkward, or infuriating aspects of life without argument .. you have to know how to compromise for someone , and know when to demand someone else compromise for you .
True Love is for motivational purposes only....it doesn't sound confusing perhaps .:)

[KikoyBalayon]

@foolinlove..
"true love?".. its hard to find.. you do not find true love.. it finds you.. kung pinipilit mong makahanap ng true love kaagad..

then that is not it..

pinaghihirapan yan... it grows with time.. as you nourish and care for each other..

in good times, and especially in bad..

true love is full of imperfections and sacrifices.. but its the love and commitment that strengthens the bond..

hehe..(kiks, kaw ba yan?)

[aja]

True Love....means
to love her just the way she is
to live my life around her
to forgive before she even ask

[miffy]

magkasama sa hirap at ginhawa...;)
nakangiti kahit may problema...:)
at may oras para sa isa't isa...:D

[jcby1321]

true love means when you stick with that person through good times and bad times... if you can take care of your love one when he is sick and doesnt look like adonis anymore....

[simplymystic]

true love means......
wherever you go.'ll be with you..
whatever you want..i'll give it to you....:) :) :) hmmnnn..:confused: kanta pala yun..the flame by cheaptricks...:p :p :p

[danasan143]

true love for me is giving love without thinking that we can recieve something in return it also means sacrifice kasi sabi nga nila maraming pagsubok ang dadaanan para ma test ang tunay na pag ibig :)

[mamimo]

true love malamang ng Nanay at Tatay ko ang isa`t-isa, exact opposite sila na maituturing kaya ang outcome parang aso`t-pusa na panay ang bangayan the irony is they cant live w/o each other in fact they`re more than 50yrs married.:)
