Chris Chronicles 1st Blogversary Giveaway

I was browsing several blogs in Bloggers Exchange when I bumped into Chris Chronicles and found out that she is having her 1st Blogversary Giveaway. I have really not been very active in this site because I have created a new blog The Non-Workaholic (the one I used to join  Bloggers Exchange), which has been created on the first day of the year and is barely three months old, so I used Heartbeat instead, to join the contest.

In my past experiences in contests or games that are usually drawn randomly, I consider myself the unlucky one. I never get to run onstage to claim a prize nor be notified for being randomly chosen as an entry winner. But despite those experiences, I did not deprive myself of still joining numerous contests, draws and the like. I don't let my chances be taken for granted, like what I am doing right now. So, if ever I would be picked this time (my fingers and legs are crossed for this), I would use the prize to give my sister a vacation treat since she's been doing great in school. My salary is not yet enough to grant her wish to have a great summer escapade, so if ever I win this thing, it all goes to her.

Again, happy first blogversary to Chris! More power and God bless.

Hello Love Month

This love month, all I wanna do is just talk about love, anything related to it or anything that I would relate to it. I call the shots here, thus I can post whatever I want. Hah!

What is love? It's the question frequently asked in slum books or autographs. Girls oftentimes giggle whenever they write an answer for this question. Maybe except for me. For when I first encountered that very same question way back grade school, I came up to my Dad to ask for a very witty-sounding answer to impress my friends.

I could only vaguely recall our conversation (in our own dialect of course, I'll just have to translate it to English):

Me: Pa, what is love?

Papa: *sings Love is the Greatest Gift of All*

Me: Pa! Not a song. Something very nice or unique, so that I will not have a duplicate answer with my friends (I was thinking of being different from theirs).

Papa: Love is a many splendor. Love is kind. Love conquers all. Love is..

Me: Okay, okay. I'll take the first one. Thanks!

I did not know what that meant but I chose it because it sounded good. So silly of me. But when my friends came to ask me what that meant, I was not able to give a good answer. I never really knew anything about it until I bumped into it when I was in high school and found out that it was also a song! My goodness, I was deceived by the sound of it and my Dad. But nevertheless, I looked up the lyrics and I understood what it meant. Somehow. Or not. Hahaha!

But there's one thing I learned about love. It is more important than life. I can say that one's life is worthless if you have not experienced to love and be loved.
