Let's look at it this way, love would somehow, in a way, make you a totally different person, because for one thing, you have already dropped your personal space force field to let someone be a part of your life. I always have had this theory that your "comfort level circle", your "radius of personal space" depends on who it is.
If you're a stranger, you may have a radius of 6 feet.
If you're a friend, maybe it’s about 2-3 feet.
If you're very good friends (girlygirls), maybe its about 6 inches to a foot…Although i remember somebody telling me how someone shrieked "PERSONAL SPACE PERSONAL SPACE" for an approaching hug... ;)
If you're family, most probably inches...
If you're a significant other, you'll extend your hand to be held, hehe or closer than dat (Altogether now..Awwwwww)
That doesn't mean you have to change your habits (well, table manners is a different thing.. :p) and you even hardly need to make a compromise to change your daily schedule.
I know I never want him to quit his freaking busy job .Hey, good for him, good for me too (more money for us to shop and pay for the bills):p but once in a while, skipping a day or two from work (like we did..hehe) was exciting.
It was as if we got out from a scheduled trip by waking up a lil bit late (although we have set the alarm an hour earlier) and suddenly decide to go to a nice little mamak for breakfast and do "people watch".. and then go to OU for a window shopping, and voila! We both just run off from work!
I will just SMS my boss telling him that I got a fever (which he never call back to verify it, I normally just get “OK” reply via SMS), and he will call his office sounding very sick and telling his boss that he is down with fever, and demn, they’ll buy it too.
"People watch” eh its cool ok, you see so many characters that you don’t notice pass you by during your hectic day and its always nice to have someone with to b*tch about how the slit would not need to be THAT high... or how actually a lass with a 21 cm waist can have astonishing bosom (cup E ok? R u kidding me?)*mata terbeliak*
As much as some people might not pick up, you are slightly more tolerant on the negatives of your significant other.. and not actually disregard them (like what someone said *high fives*). you're too happy and won't care about petty things....ideally of course :D
Life's not always about good fried rice, ayam tandoori and sticky cheese nan, Chillis cuisine, great music, brad pitt or jon bon jovi (my taste) and salma hayek or drew barrymore (his). Like anyone else in this world, i too have my resentments, my f**k ups, imperfections and all but I've learnt, to the best of my -limited- abilities to refocus my energy on some insecurities to a more constructive behavior.
damn..thats deep..HAHAHAHAHHA
And My Hubby Bumblebee,
regardless how clumsy you can be at times,
how often and loud you can fart and burp again and again in an hour,
how obsessed you get over your palm, laptop, IE, Networking, or your V-Sat work,
how some older women at your office like to tease you how cute your face and butt looks like (takes out sniper gun..),
how you go goo goo gaa gaa over the black Gibson Guitar
just how you would loveeeee to argue with me on who should wakeup and go mandi first in the morning and in the evening
i love you and thank you for loving me in spite of my shortcomings and for being exactly who you are ;)
~Your Wifey
