as time goes by..

But as time goes by you'd wonder how to keep the rhythm beating
how do couples who seem to be together for so long
how do they do it?

Ever since the Stages of Love play, (aint i a fan girl?) these lines from the song keeps lingering in my mind. With an almost 2 month old relationship that i have, it does make me wonder why not.... previous posts on love as a choice would build up my argument here but i really would go back to scott peck and phenomenologies. I'd like to share some bit of experience i have been doing since the past month.

Fridays has always been Lola Pat day. ever since my lolo tony died, fridays are sacred fridays for lola. Masses are held every friday in the church where the remains of my lolo is burried. It amazes me that there is a number of other lolos and lolas who would regularly celebrate mass bringing flowers, keeping the area of their late husband or wife clean. It is so touching how at their late age they remain faithful and caring to each other.

with alexie getting married and me being more bonded with my mom, it is interesting how marriage is a totally different reality from the usual dating scene that i have with pi or as how i see other couples. the getting to know yous are beyond the "how are yous?" "what you doing?" messages. dont get me wrong, me and marriage is a far from where i am right now. but it is amusing to see and experience this whole stages of love at work.

This weekend events made me realize how two people could make things work. Making a relationship work despite flaws and querks of each person. it could be REALLY annoying sometimes. REALLY REALLY. but life throws us with so many issues that i believe we all could handle. it's just being strong and staying strong.

If you really love each other... there's nothing to it.
