Today i was walking home from school . I was then pondering but i have never figured out in the past why would parents or should i say grandparents love children so much . What is in a child that would capture their heart . What i saw at that moment was a grandmother of around 60 years old looking with envy at another grandmother playing with her grandchildren . At that moment i could almost feel her sadness .
I guess at that moment i figured out what they see in the children . Have you ever stopped and notice a group of children playing together in a playground . Just by looking at them having fun and laughing out loud you would know they are happy . These laughters and smiles on their faces . You know that . Or should i say it can be felt by the passer-bys too . All their smiles come straight from their hearts .
Right now then think about yourself . When have you really smiled . When have you really felt that your friend or people surrounding you are really happy when they have a smile on their face ? When they smile or laugh its not something they are using as a front so that people would not know the disappointment in their hearts .
Then have you ever felt truly happy these whole many years living in this world . Have you ever really smiled from your heart because you want to ..
These thoughts just flashed through my head in that instant . I would be proud to say that I've been happy . I have been fortunate to have my family close by , my friends in school . Everyone that treats me no matter positive or negative true from their hearts . Not a hypocrite . Not a backstabber . Not saying something but mean something different in the heart .


Then before and after dinner . I was reading this book by Belinda Jones . Title the love academy . You might be sitting in our seat now thinking oh well . another love story that only a girl would fancy . Yet what truly amaze me in this book is when you stop in your fast pace life , sit down and think . And start to reflect on your actions , your thoughts for the past of your life then you realise how many people treat romance as something non-existent .
From a part inside , it says

" Romance to me is paying close attention to someone, discreet not of what brings them joy and then engineering subtle ways in to deliver these moments to them . Romance is sneaking up behind someone and placing your hand over their heart to show them it is safe with you . Romance is stopping in a busy moment to say, " Do you know how much i love you ? "

Sometimes its just really funny when you hear guys complain that they do not know what girls are thinking . But its all the same for girls isn't it ? Being busy isn't an excuse ! I mean romance isn't only to your existing girlfriend or boyfriend . But it can be extended to your loved ones . Loved ones as in your family and friends .

Just a small action such as opening the door for your friends . To some people it might be nothing but i feel that to most of the girls it would mean " aww .. sweet ! " . Something easy would just make them melt on the spot . Its these little or should i say minor act of kindness , concern and care that add up to a lot in the end .

I mean in the end , at the end of the day when you look back and think . Who would leave a deeper impression in your heart ? Someone who noticed that you were carrying a lot of books and files thus bothered to ask and help or someone that just ignores you ?

If you still think that these minor acts of kindness are nothing .. think again ..
