A Happily Ever After

For the past week, Karlo and I have not been in good terms. Admittedly, we often fight over small things. I guess it is a normal thing for couples but I am so tired of crying. I am so tired of all the pain which are brought by these frequent quarrels. Though we immediately fix things between us, everything still seems wrong. All of these made me come to the point of thinking about leaving him. Depression has somewhat become my bestfriend for the past week. Nothing---not even chocolate bars or choco oreo donuts can make me happy. I have become so depressed that I disregarded the thought of a "happily-ever-after", thinking that it is just some silly thing Walt Disney came up with---until...

Grace, Anna and I watched the movie Enchanted. It was because of the movie which reminded me of all the beautiful things love has to offer. Though love offers joy, it also comes with pain and hurtful moments at times. It's a package deal, y'know! Love = joy + pain. You can not fall in love and only feel joy and happiness and throw pain in the trash bin. Sorry but love does not work that way. Anyway, it is about a princess [well, not actually] named Giselle who is somewhat teleported to New York. She met Robert who took care of her. Giselle's supposedly prince charming followed her to New York to bring her back to Andalasia [where they came from] and marry her. Prince Charming's mother, the witch, ruined everything when she herself followed them to New York. Robert, a man from the real world, who does not believes in happily-ever-afters and other fairy tale stuff, fell in love with Giselle while Robert's ex-fiancee married Prince Charming in Andalasia. In the end, everyone lived happily ever after.

A lot of the scenes and quotes/lines from the movie made me think about my relationship with Karlo. I know that I had taken him for granted so maaaany times and I feel so guilty about it. I now realized how important Karlo is to me. I know that he loves me so much but I often ignore his feelings. If I want to have a "happily-ever-after", it is all up to me and Karlo [us] to make it happen. Karlo may have done something wrong but I have my own shortcomings, too! I guess it is unfair if I just constantly blame everything to him. So now, I would like to say sorry for everything I have done to you, Karlo. I know I have caused you pain and made you cry for the past week and I really, really regret it. I love you so much. I don't know if you believe me but I do still love you. I hope we will have our own happily ever after in the end. [emo ba?sorry.]

Anyway, this is the lyrics of the song "That's How You Know" by Amy Adams. This song is my favorite song from the movie along with all the other songs included in the movie's soundtrack. Watch Enchanted and I promise no one will get disappointed. Enchanted is now one of my favorite movies.

Lyrics of the song:

Giselle: How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?

Man: How does she know that you love her?

Giselle:How do you show her you love her?

Both: How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?
How does she know that you love her? How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?

Giselle:It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say...
"How do I know he loves me?"
(How does she know that you love her? How do you show her you love her?)
"How do I know he's mine?"
(How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?)

Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...

Man: You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to need her
To believe you love her

Giselle:Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true...
How do you know he loves you?
(How does she know that you love her? How do you show her you need her?)
How do you know he's yours?
(How does she know that you really, really, truely-)

Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words in
Just for you? Ohhh!

All:He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know That's how you know!

Giselle:He's your love He's your love...
That's how you know (la la la la la la la la)
He loves you (la la la la la la la la)
That's how you know (la la la la la la la la)
t's true(la la la la la)

Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!

All:His heart will be yours forever
Something everyday will show
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know!

Giselle:He's your love...

Man: That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her

Giselle:That's how you know...That's how you know... He's your love...
