How To Know You're In Love

Tuesday, January 8, 2008

So you think you might be in love?

Does the world seem a little bit brighter this morning?

Has your life gone from black and white to technicolor?

Can nothing that happens around you upset or affect you?

Step 1: Early Symptoms

In the first flush of love, you may want to know everything about your partner. Who he is, what she thinks, what makes him laugh. You feel bad when she feels bad. You want to cheer her up because you can't help it not because you feel you ought to. You can't remember whatever you saw on your ex, even being near them is like a betrayal of your new love.

Step 2: Hazards

If you are in love, the physical safety of those around you may be at risk. Watch out for hazards such as the inability to perform a list of tasks. Not being able to concentrate on any job you have been given. And not noticing anything or anyone around you. When you are apart, you may find that you can't stop thinking about her. As soon as you wake up and before you go to bed, she pops into your head for no reason and you keep on wondering what she's up to. And just occasionally, you let your imagination run away with you.

Step 3: Movie Love

It feels like you're in a movie but this movie has a romantic beginning, middle and end. There is no ice berg. It's going to be happily ever after forever and ever. It's happening to you and its real. So don't worry there's no danger of a camera crew stopping the action and interfering at just the wrong moment.

Step 4: Ignoring the negatives

No one's perfect and you know this about your new love. But you find those quirks of his charming. You are willing to put up for his boring family. You love spending time with her regardless of what you are doing. And you don't mind compromising or missing other nights out.

Step 5: Will it last?

It's looking good so far, but will those feelings fade with time? May be impossible to predict the future but you can ask yourself a few key questions:

Can you be yourself with her?

Does he still love you when you're at your worst?

Does she make you feel good about yourself?

Do you find that you don't need to test his loyalty?

Would you feel the same if she got fat or if he was destitute?

If most of your answers are YES, it sounds like LOVE.

From Nash's Blog...

Love is when you walk all the way to the other side of the classroom to sharpen your pencil just to walk by him...

then you realize that your pencil is mechanical.

somebody told me that you'd know that you're in love when you do not know why you love him/her but you feel that you just do.

Love is a simple word used to describe a varying range of emotions and values that are relate you and someone else. Love is the word used to describe the feelings involving positive connotations between two or more people.

About Us

The Campaign

IKeepLoveReal.Blogspot.com is an unofficial site of IKeepLoveReal.com

I Keep Love Real (IKLR) is a campaign for a deeper understanding of the meaning of love,
relationships, and sexuality.

KEEP is respecting the nobility of affection and love.

LOVE refers to courtship, romance, and relationships between men and women with eyes towards friendship and marriage.

REAL is a quality of love that leads to respecting the dignity of the other person, waiting for marriage for love’s full expression, and making it last despite trials.

The first person pronoun "i" makes keeping love real a personal
decision not an imposition from the outside.

We think that… The campaign vision is realized through the projects of IAS-iKLR and the iKLR International network.

Projects

Talk Interactive talks given by ates and kuyas to high school and college students, with no-holds-barred conversation on real issues about love, relationships, and sexuality.

Mobile Booth iKLR hopes to build its name by creating familiarity with the youth through the setting up of booths in school-organized activities (e.g. fairs and variety shows)

Music Video From the winners of the 2007 I Keep Love Real Song-writing Competition, iKLR will launch a music video for the song that best captures the message of the campaign.

Lifestyle Merchandise Lifestyle merchandise such as baller bands, vintage necklaces, and dog tags are promoted as an expression of one’s personal commitment to keep love real.

Ad Campaign To reach the mainstream youth audience, promotions through television, radio, and print shall be carried out.

Photography Competition The idea of the competition is for the youth to see and appreciate the true meaning of love in the dynamics of everyday human interaction. Using camera-enabled mobile phones, participants of the competition are to capture creative, appropriate, and meaningful images that best portray the message of iKLR.

Scriptwriting Competition and TV Special Similar to the Photography Competition, iKLR hopes to engage the youth in discovering and promoting a kind of love that respects and nurtures, by means of a scriptwriting competition. The winning story will be presented to interested media partners for portrayal in appropriate television shows, to be launched the following year.

Real Love Revolution Southeast Asian Youth Congress Youth representatives from the Southeast Asian nations will be invited to the Philippines for a congress on real love revolution. Unity is fostered among these neighboring nations to uphold values strongly rooted in the Asian psyche.

Publications

Keep Love Real Authored by Lora Tan-Garcia, Keep Love Real is a spritely read on love and chastity. In Lora’s words, “Chastity isn’t about what you can’t have and can’t do. It’s so much bigger and more triumphant than that. It’s actually having the life you’ve always wanted but perhaps didn’t think you could achieve through chastity...”

Congress Executive Report with Research The 2nd International Congress on Education in Love, Sex, and Life produced rich resource materials on character education: from experts worldwide and from a research study involving 4,000 Filipino colleges.

Modules Based on experiences and data gathered from seminars, I Am S.T.R.O.N.G. and I Keep Love Real syllabi, modules, lesson plans, and other materials have been written to help the Department of Education, teachers, and administrators replicate the same program in their schools and classrooms. As they have been written in straightforward language, using a clear, logical format, these works have also been distributed to selected students and seminar participants.

love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly;
it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account
a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with
the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things."
