Have you heard of the FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES?
these are words of affirmation, giving gifts, touch, quality time, and service. Words of affirmation are important because one of the foundations of a strong relationship is communication. Giving gifts is a way of telling loved ones their worth. Touch keeps assurance and warmth in a relationship. Sometimes love is spelled T-I-M-E, and this is especially true for kids. However, to some parents, love is shown through Service--by working hard to provide more than enough for the kids and the family. These love languages are the ways we express our love to the people we love. You may use different love languages to the different people you love, may be "words of affirmation" to your better half and "service" to your parents, but there is always a love language the you frequently use and usually stands out. The love language you use may not necessarily be the love language you want to receive from them. As for me, my love language is "quality time" but the language I want to receive is "words of affirmation."
what about you? what are your TOP 3 LOVE LANGUAGES? what is the LOVE LANGUAGE you want to receive?

Yes, I have heard them, even when I was a kid, LOL. I thought there were more than five, hehe. Is "service" only for parents and husband/wife? Forgive me but I don't understand the term.. Maybe I'm too young to love, haha.
For me, I want to receive (more) quality time, touch and word of affirmation from my boyfriend. We don't see each other so often because we are so busy with our daily activities. We often fight because misunderstanding and lack of communication.. Does touch mean physical contact? If it is, I like being hugged and kissed by my boyfriend, LOL.
I think my love language for him are gift, touch and quality time. I think I should increase the frequency of my quality time. We have lesser time to see each other now..

Hi! Let me explain further how love is expressed through Service. Whenever I'm home I cook for my family. I sometimes give my mom a great massage. I also help my sisters with their assignments and projects. There was a time I cleaned a friend's kitchen sink because he had no time, he still had to study for an exam. When you love to do these things, your love language is Service. Yes, the love language you want to receive is touch if you like being hugged and kissed. Spending quality time is the most important I think because time can't be bought. :)

Okay, I get it now.. I wish I could cook for my family.. I'm still learning to cook like a pro, haha. Even my dad can cook a lot of delicious dishes for us.:)
I'm the only child, so I think I want to make my parent proud by graduating with cumlaude GPA.. Next semester I'm gonna writing my thesis. I'll make it fast so my parent will be happy to see their only child graduating fast:D Is that also service? I can't think of any other way.. I want to work as a part timer, but my parent forbid me. They say they just want me to graduate as soon as possible. It will make them happy:D
