There are so many things I want to say about Valentine’s Day—in fact, I’m afraid this whole entry might turn into a bunch of tittle-tattle if I indulge myself. So instead, I thought of leaving it to the pros. After all, there’s a reason why these movie lines have stuck with us after all these years, right? 
I think it’s safe to say these quotes sum up everything good about Valentine’s Day and give you one of the best feelings in the world: that giddy, warm, tingly feeling you get when something (a song, a picture, a memory, or in this case, a line from a movie) hits you in a such a special way that makes you feel it was made for you, just you. You feel it all over your body and you never ever want to lose it. These movie quotes are old and new, familiar and unfamiliar, but I’m pretty sure they’ll “hit” you all the same.

“Sometimes in life, there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you’ll find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding, but there’s also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself, is the same person who’s been standing beside you all along.” —Bride Wars

“I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” —When Harry Met Sally
“I guarantee there’ll be tough times. I guarantee that at some time, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you’re the only one for me.” —Runaway Bride

“If you’re not willing to sound stupid, then you’re not worthy of falling in love.” —A Lot Like Love
“You know, that moment when you kiss someone and everything around you becomes hazy. And the only thing in focus is you and that person. And you realize that that person is the only person that you’re supposed to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this gift. And you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that it will go away all at the same time.” —Never Been Kissed
“I love you without knowing how, why, or even from where.” —Patch Adams

No matter what your opinion of Valentine’s Day is - underrated, overrated, Single-Awareness Day, too commercialized, corporate money-making scheme, something only lovesick couples celebrate, a sad excuse for torpe people to finally show some affection, the best day of the year - everyone deserves to feel loved on that special day. Don’t forget to spread the love tomorrow! (And every other day of the year, for that matter.)
Wishing you bouquets of roses, boxes of chocolates, and that warm kilig feeling,
Cre

Giving up is definitely not the phrase I can identify myself with. For a girl who always looks at the brighter side of things, it’s very unlikely to hear me say, “I give up.” There are times in our life that we feel so down and we don’t know what else we can do especially when things don’t happen the way we want them to be. We feel so alone and helpless drowning in our pool of misery. There were times that I felt like this especially when I am so overwhelmed by the many tasks that I have to do and pressured to get things right all the time. When I fail, I break down and yes, tempted to give up.
haha! But really, Camp Nivea was an experience I’ll really never forget, jellyfish stings included. Now, if only time-turners existed…
