Jaeson Ma | Love

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Now Hollywood wants to make you think they know what love is. But Im a tell you what true love is. Love is not what you see in the movies. Its not the ecstasy, its not what you see in that scene, you know what I mean? Im telling you right now, true love is sacrifice. Love is thinking about others before you think about yourself, love is selfless not selfish. Love is god and god is love. Love is when you lay down your life for another, whether for your brother, your mother, your father or your sister, its even laying down your life for your enemies, that's unthinkable, but think about that. Love is true. Think.

Chorus:

I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love

I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love

Verse 2
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, it always perseveres.
Love never fails. Love is everlasting, its eternal, it goes on and on, it goes beyond time, love is the only thing that will last when you die, but ask the question why? Do you have love?

Chorus

Verse 3
There is no greater love than this than he who lays down his life for his friends. Now are you willing to lay down your life for your friends? You're probably willing to lay down your life for your mother, your father, or your best friends, but are you willing to lay down your life for even those that hate you? I'm going to tell you who did that, the definition of love is Jesus Christ. He is love. The nails in his hands, the thorns in his brow, hanging on a cross for your sin my sins, that is LOVE he died for you and me while we still hated him, that is love. God is true love, and if you don't know this love, now is the time to know, perfect love.

Chorus

Chapter One | The Begining

The Beginning

Where it all began?
Where is all started?
Where it all came from?
Where you came from?

Yes, we all came to this world the same exact way. Our parent meet up, friendship built, relationship grow, going on dates together, got together and then got married, mom got pregnant and finally you were born. Yes, we are all born in this world.

The simple fact is that all of us have a purpose in life that we need to find and pursue in life. We all start off with absolutely nothing in our knowledge. We don't know how to talk, we have not much strength to even walk or crawl, we can't jump yet, we can't communicate or even capable to do anything much. The only thing that everyone can do when they are born is cry. As babies born into this world, we are curious little people who likes to explore the world as we grow. Touching things around us and feeling each and every texture and detail around us. Everything that we want as a baby, eat, change diaper, play, to be carried, all we have to do is cry our hearts out. Our parents will eventually recognize that we want something and usually at the start, they wouldn't know what we actually wanted. Our parents have to guess what we actually want. Sometimes our parents may be wrong the first time, but sometimes they can be spot on.

Yes, that is all we know at the start. As young as that, we eventually grow to be bigger, chubbier, and cute. We are adored by each and everyone who saw us. Knowledge and wisdom wise, all of us, and i really mean "all", start with absolutely nothing, no knowledge, no wisdom and not knowing much of what our future can be. The only thing that we are good at is crying. Yes, we all can cry to the max of annoyance. Whatever we want or need, we can just cry and cry and our parents will have to decipher what we are trying to communicate to them.

Once we grow, we learn things slowly by vision and sight. Naturally we are all learners. It just the matter of we learn fast or slow, but all in all we are still learners. We all have a brain don't we? As babies, our learning curve is very high, that's why we learn fast while that young. This is the point of our life where our parents need to teach us lots of things and most importantly, speak to us in language we don't know so that we can develop our mother tongue.

All of us, our journey begins here. It's the start of our life and this is the beginning. We are all wonderfully and creatively made for a purpose by God. Take a look at yourself right now. Please tell me, who else have the same attributes as you. You are very unique because God made you. You have an incredible ability that no one else have and that is yourself. You are you, keeping you, you is who you are. Nobody can ever follow you or replicate you because you are who you are. You have those eyes, those ears, nose, face, hair, arms, legs, body, and just simply everything on your body is unique. Take a look at your fingerprints for example. The world population now is estimated by the United States Census Bureau to be 6.779 billion. The fact is that all of us have different fingerprints. Not a single person in the whole world has the same exact same fingerprints. So be proud of yourself. You have something which no other person have in this whole world and that is yourself.

A Story...of you and me...

Here is another story. A story written out of inspiration. A story on a life's journey to the center of the earth. Where it all began till the present.

This is our story.

How can one really go through all stumbles of life and life lessons and roadblocks each and everyone faces in life. If you think you are the only one that is having a bad life, read this, and it may just change your perception just a bit.

No Boundaries - Kris Allen

Seconds hours so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment last forever if you feel you’ve lost your way
What if your chances are already gone
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
to fight and never walk away

Coz here I am - still holding on!

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe

You’ll make it through the pain (or through all your aches and pains)
Weather the hurricane
To get to that one thing

When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries x2

I fought to the end to stand on the edge
What if today is as good it gets
Don’t know where the future’s headed
Nothings gonna bring me down

I’ve jumped every bridge and I’ve run every line
I’ve risked being saved but I always knew why
I always knew why

So here I am still holding on
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe

You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricane
To get to that one thing

When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule coz there’s nothing between you
and your dreams

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
Yeah…

There are no boundaries
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricane
There are no boundaries x3

L.O.V.E.

Love.

What's Love really about?
From an online dictionary,

The world "love" comes to us from the Middle English word luf, derived from the Old English word "lufu." This is akin to Old High German, "luba," and another Old English word, lēof, which means ‘dear’. Yet another word related to love, "lubere" or "libere," comes to us from the Romans. This Latin word means 'to please'. In all words related to the word love, roots relating to dear, pleasing, and cherished may be found, hinting at the deeper transcendent meaning of the modern word.

Most people think of the definition of love as a strong romantic attachment between two people, often intermingled with sexual desire and attraction. Throughout history, people defined love more broadly, encompassing many relationships. These forms of love and affection hold true today, although may not be the first definition that comes to mind when one hears the word. For example:

• Love among family members; familial love, or love based on kinship ties
• A mother’s love for her offspring
• Love of neighbor, based on the Christian teaching of expressing concern and charity for all people
• Love of country, or patriotism
• Love of God, or expressive love for a deity or deities

Nearly all religions and cultures use precise language to define love. Most languages use various words to express levels of emotion, kinship, or affection. Ancient Greek, for example, uses many words to define precise levels of emotion. “Agape” means love in modern day Greek, but in ancient times referred to a pure love without sexual connotations. “Eros” includes passionate love full of desire and longing. “Philia”, mentioned by Aristotle, meant a dispassionate, virtuous and unselfish love. “Xenia” includes hospitality, and refers to a type of love most would consider charity or giving.

Our modern language uses the word love almost too frequently. We say “I love you” to our spouses, but say “I love chocolate ice cream!” to a friend to express a much less intense feeling.

Some people define love not by a feeling, but by actions. In this definition, love isn’t what you say – it’s what you do. Love would then be a verb, expressed in unselfish actions and deeds.

If you guys watched transformers, the main guy never said i "LOVE" you to the girl. To him its a taboo word. He only said it towards the end of the movie. LOL

This time, its about love. Yes, "love"

The word love is used many many time in the bible. Yes, God is love.

Love is indeed something very powerful and something very precious to keep.
Once you really get a hold of this love, you should really keep a hold of it and never let go.

"It only takes only second to meet someone, a minute to appreciate them, an hour to get to know them, a day to love them, but an entire lifetime to forget them."

Okay, so it's true that we only takes a second to meet someone.

Everywhere we go, we can just meet with different kinds of people. Left and right, in front or behind. There will be people around us. Unless of course we just hide ourselves in a quarantined room because of H1N1 sickness. Even when we are driving, there will be cars beside us, and for sure there will be a driver there right? Unless, you are driving like 3 or 4 am in the morning after your clubbing sessions with your friends or yamcha session.

It is also true that we only takes a minute to actually appreciate them. Some of us just flows with each other. Anything that we talk to each other, we just click. Any topics, any kind of stories, we can just relate to each other. In short, we just can talk.

An hour is also quite enough to get to know them. We can know someone quite a lot just by chatting with them for an hour. We can get to know their background, where they came from, what they do, what do they like, what foods and drinks they like, their hobbies, and so on. A lot of stuffs can be talked with within an hour. So yeah, it's quite true also.

A day to love to love them? yes, this can be true at times. There certainly won't be love at first sight. Maybe you can just admire their beauty at first sight, but you can never love someone at first sight. A day with them is all you need to actually fall in love with someone. Although this may just be a feeling, it doesn't mean you have to confess after just one day with that certain person.

And finally, an entire lifetime to forget. Yes, once we love that certain person with all our hearts, it is certainly very hard to forget them. Maybe never. Yes, people can change, but for us to change our bad habits are also quite hard. What more to change who we love.

To summarize everything, Love is a risk. You have to make decisions and you need to be patient.

Here is one of my favorite quotes from a movie

"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful." A Walk To Remember (2002)

It is actually taken from the Bible from 1st Corinthians 13:4-7
Here is the New Living Translation Version

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (New Living Translation)

⁴ Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud ⁵ or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. ⁶ It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. ⁷ Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Yes, when we love someone, we should really be patient. Patience is the most important thing in a relationship. Without patience, nothing is going to work out. Sometimes, we just have to wait to get what we want. And yes, that requires lots and lots of patience. You can't expect instant results like how you can cook instant maggi or make instant 3-IN-1 coffee or so. Great relationship needs time and patience. May it be 2 years, 3 years, or who knows, it could be a lifetime. But that's relationship for you. There's one thing in common in all relationships. It all requires time and patience. No relationship between two person can flourish in an instant. It requires a lots of time together and friendship moments together for it to even be friends.

Guys

Okay, here are some facts about guys and girls alike.

1. Few things about guys

• When a girl treat the guy very nice and kind, to the guys it is like a hint to them. When this happens, the guy will think "This girl very nice, i have hope!"
• Guys will take the slightest of hints as BIG hints, while to the girl it is actually nothing.
• There will be some guys who will do whatever it takes to get that girl's heart. No matter what, the guy will try do everything he can to get that girl's attention. Even if it requires sacrifice, the guy will do it.
  
• Some guys are very direct while some are quite indirect in their approach
• Guy are somewhat prone to rejections and some are also not quite in control of their emotions yet.
• All guys have an ego but not all have the same level of egoism so yeah
• Usually when a guy know that a few other guys are also chasing the same girl as they are, they will feel a little bit threaten but usually doesn't really shows it out because of their ego
