Day Two Bacolod City; On Love

The city of smiles never fails to amuse me... I have been with one of the hospitable people in a serene environment. I'm back from Bacolod now ending two days of vacation. Time to leave the fantasy world and face reality again. I'll be back there few weeks from now though. I attended a wedding there in Bacolod. Here's how it went...
 
We arrived at the cathedral at 3:15 P.M. The mass started at four o'clock as scheduled.
 
I observed my cousin had been crying -- with tears of joy, of course. Few minutes from now he and his girlfriend will take vows to be together until death.
 
Just like how every wedding mass should end, the priest shall say "you may now kiss the bride." After doing their vows, the newly wed partners kissed each other. Let me start the description of the food reception with great foods. The resort where the reception was held was okay. I don't know what to call those foods but I knew how to eat it all. I only recognized the "lechon" and the salad. They offered a wine for the toast for the newly weds.
 
They showed a video of how the newly weds knew each other. Interestingly, they were lovers since highschool. Separated by college life, they had the chance of being together again after graduation. After all the happiness and heartbreaks they had, they are here now treating us as they enjoy the promise of taking care of each other for the rest of their lives. 
 
And back we went from the resort as I finish off my final thoughts for the day.
 
It's official. I'm seeking someone and so far, Nemo seems easier to find. Someone once told me, there's so many people.. so little time. Was it his fart talking? Was he even talking to me? If that is true... where are they? Are they in a completely different planet? Are they obsolete? I'm definitely sure of one thing though... They're obviously not going straight. Or are they?
 
In a world so big as this, how do you find "the one"? Another person told me to just don't go looking, not to worry and your prince will come along... seriously i'm still hoping.. :(
 
"I know it's a cornball thing but LOVE is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? I say fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't live."
