Since young love is spreading round,

there's nothing wrong with a little sappy post eih?

:)
generally these are the things that I believe girls look for in a guy ;)
Contrary to popular belief,
Good girls don't always like bad boys.
We like boys who :

we don't need him to worry about his looks more than us!

humor is ALWAYS an added bonus.

and not the vulgar kind ,please.

We respect guys who respect us :)

this trick always works,

especially if it smells good;

wait, only if it doesn't smell bad XD

And of course,
guys who take the first step.
When he :

or

it matters.
it always matters.
it may seem small,
but it shows us you care; and that you're serious.

And then there's this issue of security.
We love it when guys :

when he's with or away from us. 

from all the dangers of the world :) 


and when they do all these :

 

just to remind us that we are special.

that no matter how insecure and badly we see ourselves,
they know better.
and that they chose us because they see the beauty in us.
and want us to see the same :)

and we girls love to know that he :

cause if he's so perfect that he can do everything on his own,

what are we doing in his life?

And of course the cheesy added bonuses when he :

and star gazing too! :D

 ;)

we like these although we don't always say it out loud.
we like it simply because :)

And of course!
Sincerity.
When guys actually : 

if you can't do it,
don't promise.
this of course, applies to us girls as well.
when a guy actually :

it matters.
and just as much as you hate fake girls,

we too feel the same way.
Guys who :
.

it's just sweet to know,

that even in your conversation with God,
we are remembered :)

 And of course, guys who :

but aren't selfish enough to want to be the only reason you smile.
guys who understand that although he is a great big chunk of our lives,
he isn't the only part.
guys who appreciate our good friends,
and accept them for who they are.
Guys who are all the above would generally be the guys who :

:)
Let's make a toast to all the new relationships around.
Cheers to young love.
Cheers to old love rekindled.
Cheers to guys who make their girls feel cherished.
Cheers to girls who make the man feel complete.
Cheers to those who are still seeking;
Cheers to those who still believe that wishes on shooting stars would come true.

 Cheers! :)

This is the sappy side of me.

Yeah.
As most of you should probably already know,

Jess is a very emotional girl.

She tries to change it, but, oh well.

She's especially emotional when it comes to good byes.
.
.
.

.

And the funny thing is that this time, it's not even my good bye to say.

It's like an indirect one.
Anyway,

i went back to my high school today.
And it was pretty emotional.

For me at least.

They have grown,

oh how they have grown.

From the kids who barely knew how to carry themselves,
now soon to be scholars, talking about economics and world issues

The same people who once depended on you for advice are now in turn giving them.
Once heartbroken over a breakup, now happy in new relationships. 

Once defiant and almost ignorant students,

Now captains and student leaders.

Once the adiks and the budaks,

now in turn becoming the abangs and kakaks.

Realizing that they are leaving and having a future of their own somehow freaks me out a little.

I can imagine it.

It'll be scholarships, going overseas, meeting cooler new people.

and somehow,

that kicks in my insecure side.

for that moment,i felt so small.

what if they have awesome lives and forget the existence of this one,

very ordinary,somewhat naggy kakak?

omg that makes me feel so sappy.

looking through the old photos.

old conversations playing in my mind.

there used to be a time where opening my locker was such a thrill.

walks from the locker to prep were so amusing.

being in the studio was just paradise.

they are so matured now.

they understand things so much better now.

how did they turn into such adults?

since when problem solving and shouldering responsibilities came to them as second nature?

is there still a role left for me to play?

proud.

so very proud.

when my seniors came back and told me i have grown,

that i have changed.

i could not comprehend.

i was just who i was,

just learning as i go along.

now i get it.

i see it in their eyes.

in their choice of words.

in the way the juniors treat them with such respect.

they have taken over my role,

just as i took over the role of my seniors.

what is this that i feel?

pride.

love.

sentimentality. 

remind me,

why were we in such a rush to grow up?

why were you kids in such a rush to grow up?

akak sayang awak semua sangat2.

tak kesah betapa lama akak tak call,

tak kesahlah kalau awak tak balas message.

kalau awak awak nie lupe dekat akak sekalipun,

akk sentiasa doakan awk,

doakan awk sihat,

doakan awk berjaya.

doakan awk sentiasa bahagia.

this goes to each and every one of you.

just,

be good.

and be great.

love,

k.jess.

Another Derek for me to drool over.

Derek Hough.

Derek Shepherd has been all doctor-ish

Derek Morgan has been all macho-ish.

Derek Hough just makes me miss dancing.

although i've never really done proper ballroom.

i wish i could.

in the face of true love, we do not give up. Eventhough the object of your affection is begging you to.

*chuck bass,gossip girl season 1*

do you know why we still watch those sappy love dramas on tv?

do you know why we still listen to sad pathetic love songs?

do you know why we still take for granted that in a show, they always make up after breakup?

do you know why we still read fairytales to our children?

do you know why we wtch those stupid funny shows on tv?

do you know why we still hope to find our perfect other?

because we need to believe that happy things still happen.

life today is filled with deadlines and stress and expectations that we will die from all of it if we don't remind ourselves that happiness exists.

cheers.
