Isn't it funny to fall in love with a person you least expect to fall in love with? Especially when you already have this predetermined list in your mind on how the person you should like would look like or what his/her personality should be an yet you fall in love with a person far from your idea of perfect man/woman. Isn't it funny that this person is the only person can hurt you so deeply and yet deep inside you know that he/she is the only person who can make you happy. There is this kind of fulfillment when you're with that person. It's even when you're in a crowd, you feel that you two are the only people there. If you love a person, forget everything about your ideal man/woman. just tell him/her how you feel.. i know it's easier said than done, but when this once in a lifetime opportunity will pass you by, you won't be able to turn back time and it will hunt you for the rest of your life. thingking abou all of the "what-ifs". Enjoy every moment with you loved ones coz you'll never know if you'd still be together in the future.. I don't believe in the saying that "you'll never know the importance of a person until he/she is gone" i believe that you know how important a person is to you, you just never thought that you would lose them.. LOVE IS A MYSTERY, AND IRONY, come to think of it love can never be completely defined.

I really AGREE to this post. I am 20 years old and believe it or not, I just had my first boyfriend. I've been courted a few times but I was never convinced of the thought that I should be falling in love by now. I didn't rush. In fact, I settled to the thought that maybe when I'm stable, that's the time that I'm going to fall in love. Those thoughts were futile when I accidentally met the man who had the spark and brought it to me. He's from a far place. And I only met him once, to be exact, we only spent talking for less than 4 hours. And then POOF, there goes the cliche "butterflies in the stomache" and "can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars over the fence and other serious kinds of stuff", coming to me. I never expected him, I never expected right now. I was once very ideal with the notion of Love. I have always thought that the time is only right when I've already graduated and all that crap. But once you're there, and the moment is right. You can never deny that you've fallen inlove. It is totally unexpected, might as well enjoy it 'til it lasts.

I think there is no such thing as ideal when it comes to love.. even we, behave odd when we're with that person and i think no one would be able to completely describe love.. because there aren't enough words to describe the feeling when you're with that person. i wish you more happiness in your relationship. :)

Well, I'm not sure whether it's funny to fall in love with someone you least expect to, I think maybe to have a predetermined list is only setting someone up for a lifetime of loneliness. Yes, you can think these are the qualities you really want in someone, but then you find someone with other qualities you really didn't expect. If one were to go through life looking only for one type of person, the 'right' person might just slip right by. I definitely know how important my wife is to me, she's one of the reasons I wake up smiling each day! Love is a mystery, and gee, do I love it!!!

The spice of life is LOVE Love means different to different people. Love is a never ending, unperishable emotion blessed by god to the man kind, so that we preserve, cherish and enjoy. As it is been always said that two different people with divergent views and interests thrown together by the time and it is love that ties the people together in spite of all intricacies. Love begins on it's own and have no criteria or objectives and it is its own master to decide it's cource. love always has been a ever green and renowned material for poets, authors and novelists from the time immomerial. I recall a childhood tale about adam. I was told that when the first man called Adam was made, in spite of all his heavenly luxuries, he craved for a companion and then god had granted his wish and made a lovely women called Eve. May be love is as old as man in it's existence. A person who has his beloved at his side all his life, then who else be the most blessed than him? "Love spices one's life". With out love the life is a 'desert'.
