I Love You So so Much


From the very beginning, girl's family objected strongly on her
dating this guy, saying that it has got to do with family
background, & that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she
were to be with him.

Due to family's pressure, the couple quarreled very often. Though
the girl loved the guy deeply, she always asked him: "How deep is your
love for me?" As the guy is not good with his words, this often caused
the girl to be very upset. With that & the family's pressure, the girl
often vents her anger on him. As for him, he only endured it in
silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to
further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the
girl:

"I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you.
If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As
for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry
me?" The girl agreed, & with the guy's determination, the family finally
gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he left, they
got engaged. The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy
was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through
emails & phone calls. Though it was hard, but both never thought of giving
up.

One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked
down by a car that lost control. when she woke up, she saw her parents
beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her
mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all
that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. she had lost her
voice....

The doctor says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose
her voice. Listening to her parents' comfort, but with nothing
coming out from her, she broke down. During the stay in hospital, besides
silence cry,..it's still just silence cry that accompanied her.

Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the
ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart everytime it rang.

She does not wish to let the guy know & not wanting to be a burden to
him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any
longer.

With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent
millions & millions of reply, countless of phonecalls,. . all the
girl could do, besides crying, is still crying.... The parents decided
to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be
happy.

With a new environment, the girl learns sign language & started a
new life. Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One
day, her friend came & told her that he's back. She asked her friend not
to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn't anymore
news of him.

A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing a
invitation card for the guy's wedding. The girl was shattered. When
she open the letter, she saw her name in it instead. When she was
about to ask her friend what's going on, she saw the guy standing
in front of her.

He used sign language to tell her "I've spent a year to learn sign
language. Just to let you know that I've not forgotten our promise.
Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You." With that, he
slipped the ring back into her finger. The girl finally smiled.


Treat every relationship as if it's the last one, then you'll know
how to Give. Treat every moment as is it's the last day, then you'll
know how to treasure.

Treasure what you have right now, or else you will
regret one day...

Article on Love at first sight


Their eyes met across a crowded room. The party chatter ebbed away, and the music slowed. That first lovers' glaze is the staple of the romantic novelist, and scientists believe they have now revealed the true nature of its true attractive power.

According to new research, romance has very little do to with it. That "look" is all about sex and ego.

"It does seem to be a sort of narcissistic thing. People are attracted to people who are attracted to them," said Ben Jones in the Face Research Laboratory at the University of Aberdeen.

"It's really a very basic effect that we are all, at some level at least, aware of - which is that if you smile at people and you maintain eye contact, it makes you more attractive."

He said the work challenges most previous studies of facial attractiveness that have focused on physical characteristics, such as a preference for symmetrical faces or masculine versus feminine features.

"Social signals about how attracted someone else is to you actually seem to be quite important," he said. "You are attracted to people who are attracted to you, and that shows attractiveness is not just about physical beauty."

Dr Jones and his colleagues say they have shown that attraction is based on social cues that say, "I'm interested in you". The most important cue seems to be whether someone is looking directly at you.

The team put together four different sets of digital images - women looking happy, women looking disgusted, men looking happy and men looking disgusted. In each case, the scientists made up pairs of images which were identical except that in one the person was looking directly at the camera and in the other their gaze was averted. Volunteers then rated the relative attractiveness of the images in each pair.

The team found that a direct stare is attractive only if the person giving it looks as if they like you. This preference was even higher if the face in the picture was of the opposite sex.

"What we found at the most basic level is that people like faces with direct gaze more than they like the same faces with averted gaze," said Dr Jones. "In other words, people find it more attractive when they are being looked at."

The results are published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society.

Dr Jones said the results make sense from an evolutionary perspective. "It takes quite a lot of effort to attract a mate and what you want to do is allocate that effort in a more efficient way, in other words in a way that is more likely to help you secure a mate."

So it seems there is no point wasting your time on someone who is just not interested.

What is Love?


A student asks a teacher, "What is Love ?"

The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat
Field and choose the biggest wheat stalk and come back. But the rule is: you
Can Go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the field, went thru first row, he saw one big stalk,
But he wonders....maybe there is a bigger one later.

Then he saw another bigger one... But maybe there is an even bigger
One waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he began to
Realize that the wheat stalk is not as big as the previous one he saw, he
Knew he had missed the biggest one, and he regretted.

So, he reached the end of the field & went back to the teacher with empty hands.
The teacher said to him "...this is love... You keep looking for a better one, but
When Later you realize, you have already missed the best person...."

"What is marriage then?" the student asked.

The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn
Field And choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go
Through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to
Repeat The previous mistake, when he reaches the middle of the field, he Picks One medium corn that he feels will satisfy, and comes back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "this time you bring back a corn.... You look for
One that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best
One you get.... This is marriage
