LOVE

Love. One word full of meaning. It can be found in many things. Well, to me, love means taking care of the person, supporting them, being there for them and having their back. 

When you do something to make them happy, it is love. When you push them to achieve their dreams, it is love. When you give you time to be with them, it is love. When you accept them just the ways they are, it is love.

When I saw my dad bringing a flip-flops for my mom so she can change her high heels, I know it’s love. When I saw my dad giving an umbrella to my mom so she won’t have a headache because of the sun, I know it’s love. When my dad texting me “please take care of your mom”, I know it’s love.

When I saw my mom cooking every morning and packing my dad’s lunch, I know it’s love. When I saw my mom waiting my dad to come home from work, I know it’s love.

There are many ways to express love. People have their own way. It could be by their words or by their action. Open your eyes. There must be love around you. It’s just you that didn’t realize. 

My Celebrity Crush

Daniel Timothy Wenas, a basketball player. I knew him from my friend when I was in high school. We were talking about some athletes and on of my friend sent DW’s photo. Surprisingly, he’s my bestfriend’s distant cousin! I thought she was joking at first. It turned out she’s not.

He is handsome, tall, toned. He has many achievements. Well, are those enough to be the reason to have a crush on him?

Last year I got a chance to meet him. He was having a talkshow in one of sport store in Galaxy Mall. I knew the event from his instastory several days before the day. The event was two days in a row. 

Then, my friend and I went to Galaxy Mall after church, which is the second day of the event. As We walked to the food corner, I saw that sport store was full of people. I saw him from a far. I was a little amazed because he is really handsome! But I can’t get closer because it was too full.

After my friend and I had our lunch, we went back to the sport store, hoping the crowd a little bit lessen. Turned out, the event was already done. I was a little disappointed.

Then we chose to go window shopping. When we were on the escalator, I saw DW on the escalator two floor below my escalator. Guess what I did! Right, I ran after him! He stopped in the Starbucks. I was hesitate whether to ask him for a photo or not. But I thought he already saw us. With all my braveness, I walked to him, and ask for a photo together. I said “Hi, kak Daniel. Boleh minta foto nggak?” And he said yes. And we took a photo together. And done. I thank him after that. And I walked away from him.

After about 5 meters away, I jumped and laughed. I was so so happy! He was my crush for more than 3 years. And finally I had a chance to take a photo with him. Well, for other people it’s not a big deal. But that trivial thing could make me really happy! I won’t let you see the picture just because xixi

My First Love

If I may defined, the first love of mine is the first person who can cross the wall I made for years. He is possibly not breaking it. He finds a little door there and knock it until I finally am ready to open it by all means.

He is the first person I put my trust to hold my heart. The first person that is able to be closer to me than anyone else. The first person I introduce to my friends. The first person I date.

Perhaps, that’s what I could imagine about first love. There’s not much I could talk about. It is something I have always wondered. The person. The time. The feeling.

Ways to Win My Heart

Well, it’s never easy to talk about winning my heart. I don’t even know how. To make it easier, I’ll just talk about how to make me impressed. Mostly I find someone attractive by his personality traits. Here’s some :

.1. Be kind to people.

How a person act to others says a lot. Saying thank you to a parking man. Helping the waitress when they can’t reach the plate. Saying thank you to the lift attendant. When I see those kind of gestures in you, you have a little part of my heart.

.2. Be modest.

I can’t stand an arrogant person. As soon as I found you act as a superior, I’ll never see you on anymore. 

.3. Broad minded.

It’s fun to talk to that kinda person. We can talk a lot of things. 

.4. Open-minded.

Someone who is willing to listen, understand and try to see everything from different point of view is attractive for me. The one who doesn’t easily judge people’s opinion. 

.5. Good looking.

It’s nice to be with someone that concern about his look. How he keeps his hair in cut. How he choose the right shirt. How he manage to look good.

.6. Play any music instrument.

Those are the things that can impressed me. However, to win my heart is a whole new level. I could easily fall for someone I only know for a week. I could lost my interest to someone that I thought a nice person to date. Maybe you could ask my friend how hard it is to have my heart. The last time someone wins my heart is when I saw a video of him singing and playing piano. It’s exactly two years ago. And he still has my heart.
