Finding "the one"

I just attended one of the most intimate wedding. My friends Julie and Jason tied the knot a week ago. I love weddings, specially when the bride and the groom finally seals their union with a sweet kiss. During the homily, the priest told the story of how Eve was made by taking one of Adam's rib. Since then, men were in search of their lost rib. That means, you have found your lost rib in the woman you are marrying. Aaaawwwww!!! (tear drop!)

Everyone is always on the search for "THE ONE". From speed dating, social networks, chat rooms, reunions, singles parties and other finding-someone occasions, people long for finding the person who will catch your attention, take your breath away, give you butterflies, make your legs feel like jelly and makes you smile every single minute of the day. But how on earth would you be able to find that person in a world where there are 7 billion people and half of the men you probably know or met or laid eyes to are either gay or married? just one answer: LOVE.

Love Love Love. The most used and abused word. I think I've said that word so many times, I've already lost count. But, yes, love. You may find it in the most uncertain places, in the most unexpected time with the most unbelievable person. It overwhelms you that you can actually lose yourself (and your mind and sometimes your virginity). Just thinking of that person makes you all giddy inside and being around him or her feels like heaven. You wake up each morning feeling so lucky for having that person in your life and you sleep at night feeling contented with your life. That's why people love to be in love. It makes their whole world happy. Every single day. People will get annoyed and others will be envious. That's love.

I've been in relationships. A lot of relationships. Some lasted, some didn't. Some ended well, some didn't. Some broke my heart and some just made a pass. But all of them, in a way, i loved. I've learned so much from each relationship that ended. I treasured most of the memories from each man that became part of my life. And I've always been thankful for them. We may not ended up together and I may not be their lost rib, but all those times, I was happy and loved. That was just enough for me to go through my day.

Some may still be finding their life partners. Some may still be in search for their lost rib. Some may still long for someone to love them. May I just say to them, be patient. He/ She will come. And when he/she does, never let her/him go.

Lucky for me..i found my "one"...literally. =)
