Mishmash romance

Maka-ilang gabi na rin na hindi ako madaling makatulog. When I lay down at 11, i can't doze off until 1 or 2 in the morning. Ewan ko ba kung bakit tensyonado ako, dami kong iniisip. Napapabangon na lang ako gabi-gabi dahil sa ginugutom na ko. Ta's nanonood nalang ng tv o dvd o kaya magbasa para lang antukin.

By the way, salamat sa lahat ng nag visit sa blog ko and i am really be thankful to those blogger friends who faithfully leave comments. I was nominated pala for the "Filipino Blog of Week 63" in talksmart's page. Perhaps, you could vote for me there though it's just for enjoyment. lol

Well anyway when i was reading, I came across some funny statements in Joshua Harris' book 'Boy Meets Girl', a book on courtship. In one chapter, the author describes a so-called "mishmash" romance where couples are impatient to savor each "course of meal" - acquaintance, friendship, courtship, engagement and marriage. They want to do all things hastily.

Try to imagine a soup, drink, salad and entree. If you won't relish each course, you won't enjoy the pleasure in every bite.

That is how Harris illustrates the kind of relatinship these days. Instead of taking time and enjoying each romantic moment gradually grow into a beautiful relationship, the couple mash the sequence together. They plunge into the relationship by falling head-over-heels in love without building a strong foundation. Even before they can establish a commitment, they already presumed they own each other. It's a mishmash romance which is like an unpalatable food, said Harris.

I don't know if i can follow this later. lol Well, i hope i could.

How's your love life pala?
