tales from a honeymoon hotel


with the boys, and am juggling between meetings with customers,managing the house chores, the laundries, the dinners, monitoring aidan and his schoolworks, driving up and down kl-kemaman.. i could hardly find time to read a decent book for the past one, two, three years.. i lost track.. i always love reading books.. fiction easy-reading paperbacks.. the shopaholics collection, and cecelia ahern's and many more.. not much that i gain, especially not the latest info of technologies or what happened with the world, and not the self-help book.. no-no.. i just love readings those romantic comedy books, just to fulfill my 'free' time.. but again, lately, i could even managed to complete the monthly magazines i bought, and out of blue, i found out i'm buying the latest month mags before completing the previous month... and it's february already.. time doesn't fly.. time jets off.. supersonic..

anyway, i managed to complete reading the tales from a honeymoon hotel.. nope, i'm not going to write the review.. the book is ok.. nothing so fancy about it..three couples on honeymoon met at Korcula town and bumped into each others, and the honeymoon ended.. but again, i couldn't stop reading.. not because the story line was so interesting.. just because been so long since i could find time to read a 400pages book without interuption..

and reminded me about marriage, love, faith, trust and all sort of things..
a 18-years relationship in jeopardy for a one-night stand that happened six years before. and if i was gemma, i can totally relate to her.. it's not really the one-nighter (yarr rriigghtt, and so i say).. but it's the trust.. andy got the chance to tell her the truth when she asked, but he didn't.. he created another lie on top of the lie.. and bummer.. gemma found out.. yup, to all hubbies out there.. don't think you will get a away with things like this.. we may not found out immediately, we may not ask, we may not know.. but the wife instinct is so strong it can kills anybody! and it's fact..
then, there was jo...an early twenty year old girl who just graduated, and got pregnant to coach of hers and keeps telling her that he loves her so much, but he is married and she can't have the baby.. bugger... man can do that, you know.. the baby inside the womb is not a life to them.. it just a mistake.. but then, there was mark, who cared so much and doesn't care if jo is carrying his best friend baby.. he still loves jo, with all his heart.. he proposed to jo, and jo accept.. it took a while for jo to learn to love, but she did.. and what i learn from them.. you can always learn to love somebody, especially when the person truly in love with you.. hmm... love is always there.. always.. 
and as for ruby-harrold relation.. the 50-year old couple.. not much that i can say.. when love is there, no matter how no matter what, you will always have each other .. and i want to die old with him, my dearest..

i'm not saying being in love is so fantastic.. there's ups and downs.. sometime we quarrels and cry out loud.. most of the time, we just let it flow as time passess by and when we learn to understand and tolerate.. we are not destined to be perfect, and so does our partner.. but, having each other make us stronger.. at least, once a while, to have someone to hug us for no reason, to have someone to nurse us when we are down with fever, to have someone to just be there for us.. it is soothing..

  1. I totally agree with you.....to love & to be loved is indeed a great feeling anybody would yearned for. Unfortunately not everybody is as lucky as to be able to find their true love or soulmate & apparently I'm one of them. If you asked me whether I've lost my faith in finding one - i would say yes. All I want now is being happy with whatever is left for me. Getting myself close to love would means exposing my heart to be hurt again and I dont think I'm that strong to be able to go through those painful journey for God knows how many times already.To those lucky ones, savour the moments & do appreciate the love - it's a gift not everybody could have.
