The Untimely 'Flow Of Tide'.

*Beep Beep* It was the message alert.

Boy: Hey are you out?
Gal: Nope. What about you? Drinking again?

Boy: Yeah. Heading to XXX for a couple of beers. Boring. So what are you doing at home? Are your folks in?
Gal: Well, I'm in bed with cramps... Just as bored.

And after which, the phone remained silent for the rest of the night.

Well, I suppose I got the hint.
On a more positive note, I've learnt that the flow is certainly a more effective No than simply saying No...

But then again, it ain't the WORD of my raging hormones!!!

Hope for the Hopeful? I Most Certainly Hope So..

Just when I despair, a tiny miracle blossoms most unexpectedly.
Like a whiff of fresh air, IT infuses and invigorates my being.
The utter delight- it's unbelievably sweet and incredibly intoxicating.

And just when I despair....

Yet, I cannot help but wonder.
Is IT the REAL hope or just a figment of my very hopeful imagination?
The signs - it's seemingly so clear yet so confusing.

And so I wonder...

The 'Correct' Formula?..

According to a very conservative someone (who's still a firm believer of certain traditions, e.g. virginity + marriage), the proper sequence goes like this:-

First comes Love, next comes Relationship, Marriage comes right after and then finally, comes Sex.

• Love + Relationship = Marriage + Sex

But in the modern context today, the re-arranged sequence goes mostly like this:-

Sex 'Comes' first, next comes Relationship? (or sort of...) and if ever, comes Love?, then finally/hopefully Marriage? will come along.

• Sex + Relationship? = Love? + Marriage?
  

Maybe we are indeed messing it up..
Perhaps that's why everything ends with a huge ? ?
