:: a modern love ::
A trip down to town with one of the senior sisters in class was indeed a refreshing experience.
The fifteen year age gap didn't matter at all; in fact, I admit I was enjoying myself with her constant chatter on relationships, work life and taking life as it is.
She got me to enter boutiques that I swear I won't want to be seen it. Simply because labels like Coach, Gucci are beyond my means at the moment (Read: on a ten-dollar pocket money).
Though the dreamy self still hopes to own one of such when the income starts to roll come next year.
Headed to Kinokuniya and the geek in me was tempted by the variety of good reads that were shelved as among the best-sellers.
Lately, sociology has become one of my favorite section and random titles browse suggested that everything in this world goes through evolution; the institution of marriage itself.
I got my hands on a book titled modern love.
How love has been redefine in this new millennium.
Always marveling at technological advances and falling prey to modern gadgets that serve the purpose of communication, has a 24/7 easy access to our intended finally bridged communication breakdowns that have lately become an easy excuse of wanting out?
We applaud progressiveness yet we can't deny its dire consequences.
Could be the knowledge that your intended is just a call away is causing a certain sort of dependency to grow within thus developing a culture of wanting everything 'Now'.
'I want to meet you now.' (if that never happens, we sulk)
'I want you to throw surprises at me now.' (and we sulk again)
'I want you to call me now.' (and we sulk again)
A read on the traditional life centuries back then made me realized that lack of technology advances has helped people appreciate nature and their surroundings more.
They indeed learn what we seriously need at this moment; the element of patience.
It's trying to find a balance between relying on traditional values and the inability to escape modern way of life that strikes a chord in most of us.
Our 'ego' will seldom allow us to be called back-dated - we want to be the 'in' society.
But maybe we should just take a little step back to relearn our roots and the traditional lessons that come with it.
Who knows, we might just find a perfect friend along the way - ourself.
