currently listening to:Love Soon/John Mayer.


last night, my family and i watched the musical "Baby", starring Lea Salonga. to be honest, i didn't like it too much (sorry mela!)--i found it dragging most of the time (maybe because i was overly sleepy from the stress of finals week), and the fact that my sisters and i were seated in row "v" didn't really make the experience all that better. (i'll give you a hint, the first row was letter "a"--you do the math).

i don't want to tell you the entire story, mainly because i cant--we didn't finish it. however, there were things that i realized from the musical. it may not have been the point they were trying to send across, but it got me thinking.

the play was about 3 couples: one couple was still in college and just got pregnant. the second couple was desperate to get pregnant, but were unable to. the third couple was in their 40's, just sent their nth kid to college, and got pregnant (again), and were deciding whether to keep the baby or not.

i was struck by the love that these couples had for each other. what really moved me was all of them had their major differences in opinion, but they stuck by each other the whole time. they were soooo in love with each other, and each of them was willing to give up what he/she wanted in order to make the other one happy.

don't get me wrong--i'm perfectly happy standing (rather, sitting) where i am now. i'm not in a hurry to get married (hello! boyfriend muna, pwede?). but watching that play, i came out of Meralco Theater sure of one thing:

one day, i want to love someone that much.

i really, really, really hope that he loves me back.
