I've been such a sad case lately.. Lol.
You know what my latest phase is? Don't laugh...
I cry every time I see old couples who're still in love *looks sheepish*
I mean, it's just so touching! All around us, we see marriages breaking up after a couple of years..
Then this little old man comes along who's still so in love with his little old lady that his face practically glows when he talks about her, and the adoring look on her face as she gazes up at him... And you think, "what do they have that's so special, it's lasted through all the trials that come with marriage??"
I don't know, to me it's just a testament to the power of love. It can be done, folks.
So why do I cry, if there's hope in the longevity of love?
Probably coz in the deepest corner of my heart I know that someday, when I'm old and ugl(ier) and have pure white hair (if I have any left, that is!), what I would really want is to have the man I love look at me as the darling old man who received an Oscar just now looked at his wife as he thanked her for loving him all these years, just as he loved her.
*sighs dreamily*
All righty folks, I'm gonna go throw away these tissues and then I'll lie down and imagine for a bit that that sorta love will someday be a part of my life forever!

I'm guessing you're talking about Marconi, the "score-er" (Clint Eastwood term) that never won a real Oscar, so everybody got together and said "hey, let's give him one just because he's so great and he's old."
Not that I have anything against that: I'm all for recognizing continued greatness. Being consistently better than almost everyone else is far better than being better than everyone else just once, and being nondescript the rest of the time.
As always, I find it wonderfully strange that you're watching the Academy awards at noon on Monday, and they're playing upstairs in my home at 10pm Sunday, at exactly the same time.
I hope your half of the world is being good to you.
Speaking of love: I've been married to my lovely wife for eleven and a half years. Not all of them happy years, but there was love in them all.
awww gurl *huGS* there will always be a perfect someone for everyone darlin....especially someone perfect as you :)
i'll try to come by bangsar this wednesday kay ;) we'll go lunch together and hopefully charles and christian? walks down the street again :p hehe...yesS! dream on me!! :D
cheer up kay
couples in love, especially after many years, are indeed special. i'm blessed by many years of marriage to a great gal, had some stressful times, but both feel a great closeness to each other. i think the secret of a good marriage is being best friends, not just spouses.
