Madly In Love

Tuesday, January 8, 2008

Does Love Drive You Mad?

A study in Italy indicated that people who have recently fallen in love have some of the symptoms of 'Obsessive Compulsive Disorder' or OCD. People with OCD behave obsessively about certain things. They might be constantly washing their hands, or need to continually check to see if the door is closed.

Researchers have identified pathways in the brain which light up when teenagers are in love. Falling in love seems to have a similar effect on the brain as using cocaine. It's so pleasurable it's almost like an addiction.

but honestly, it's a great feeling.. and I know it doesn't last but it's like having kids... You got to enjoy them while they're still kids and little angels. Yeah, its the most taxing part of taking care of them but its what you'll missed most especially after they've grown up and turned into such hideous beasts... much like love...aah :D

They say that...

The most hard headed people in the whole wide world are those people who are in LOVE.

Whatever you tell them,

they just wouldn't listen.

wala lang, this scene from oprah, the one with tom cruise in it? man, i think he was Oey. (dunno how to spell that. :P)

anyway, i think to fall madly in love is not really right. this is coz when a person is madly in love, it's like being crazily in love. This means that he cannot realy use his head. Love is not just about emotions, and just going with what feels good. Love entails a lot of rationality too. When you're "mad" about someone, i think you're losing your mind, you're out of your wits. And your "love" (if that's what you want to call it) wont last long because in the first place, it's never been love at the start.

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."
