Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Who would ever forget the days when you would do all the weirdest things for someone you really like?

From the side-glances, the ear-smile, and stalking-like-ninja maneuvers.. I guess all of us went through this particular stage in our lives when our heart would like to scream from its depths just to be noticed by the person we like and would hopefully like us in return.

I wrote all these ‘cheesy’ stuffs as a response to the Thai movie, Crazy Little Thing Called Love. A typical scenario of puppy love, which became true love in the end. It follows the plot of Beauty and the Beast, but it was a twisted one. Beauty was the man and the 'beast' (i know it's inappropriate to use the term but let's just put it that way) was the woman.

The girl, Nam, was an ugly duckling who had a crush with this almost perfect guy, P-Shone. Pushing all her luck to be noticed by P-Shone, Nam did all the possible things, and even the seemed-to-be impossible one did happen..from daydreaming to love spells, to transforming herself into a beautiful swan.

Who would ever think that this ugly duckling would turn into a swan just because of a guy?

Maybe no one. But romantic movies are so cliché, so most people would probably think that this story would turn out this way.

But for me, I do not have any idea how the movie would turn out. A friend just told me to watch it and so I immediately did, considering that I was so bored that time.

Oh yes..the girl became sooo pretty which I found weird because she was able to transform her image in just a year. Perhaps I found it weird because it's quite impossible to change one's physique in like 300 days or so, right?

I admit, I was and still ‘am’ the old Nam. I have all the flaws any girl could name.

And  things did not turn out the way Nam's story unfolded. I did not became a  swan and I went through a bitter ending, not bittersweet, put a purely bitter one.

(About my personal experience, i'll just keep it to myself ) ^___^

(Hahaha. It feels good to be chessy sometimes for it reveals the other side of the “bitter” me. Yes, I admit. I am bitter in love. I don’t like seeing young couples showing their affection in public. I don’t like seeing anyone kissing, hugging, or even holding their hands. )

Well, I've been through all the childish and immature days of love. I thought it was 'it' but it wasn't. It’s just a process of growing up. I learned from it, and will always learn from it.

Now…

I learned to love myself and consider myself beautiful in my own unique ways. I may and will still have flaws, but these flaws constitute the whole ME.

I learned that I don’t have to try so hard to be noticed and be appreciated by the person I like. 

I learned that that if someone truly cares for me, that person would be able to accept my flaws and accept my whole being.

I may not have Nam’s love story, I may not turn out to be a beautiful swan as what Nam turned out to be, I may not have someone who is as perfect as P-Shone, but I know that both of us share one thing in common. That is—to be happy at the right time with the right person.

Well. well. well. I know that in the end, God will be the ultimate author of my life and I trust in his immeasurable greatness in creating a not-crazy... but sane love story.
