love <3

wow. i thank God for liangsheng. though he is full of rubbish most of the time... he just gave me some VERYY good advice so that i don't get into trouble. pheww. and i think... over the past few months here in perth, i have come to appreciate his friendship a lot. (don't get me wrong for those of you who don't know him. hahas. he is happily attached =)) which brings a thought: wad's everyone's thoughts about platonic friendships? i've yet to come up with a conclusion. but i think it depends on who. i think. hmmm.....

car says i never blog about my days... soo today i will....i've been studying in the library since 1pm. turning into a nerd. yay to me. i don't like studying the nervous system. so hard! today in psyc lecture, they were talking about the different types of love and what determines whether a relationship will stick.

basically there are 3 types of love: romantic love (intimacy + passion), companionate love (intimacy + commitment) and consumate love (intimacy + passion + commitment). now you can ask yourselves what kind of love you are feeling with a certain person. haha! anyways. each type is a weak indicator of whether a relationship will stick, (of course you'd think that consummate love is the highest level of love) rather a good indicator is how couples move from one type of love to another. so true eh. it just simply means how you grow together as a couple.

and.... how to maintain close relationships is by the type of attachments you form with each other and equity. A secure attachment style is better than anxious or avoidant. as for equity, it is a condition in which the outcomes people receive are proportional to what they contribute to it. well maybe i don't fully agree with this because i feel both parties gotta give 100% and not 50% each to make 100%. but i think wad they are saying is perceiving equity. anyways, just a random statement i rmb from last sunday's sermon, God created eve not from adam's head that she should rule over him, not from his feet that he should trample over her, but from his rib, that she should serve beside him, under his arms to be protected by him, and close to his heart to be loved by him... awww so sweet right! hahas

so that's about it for today's edition on love. hahas. i miss you guys back home. EVERYONE of you. i'm coming home SOOOOOOON! =D
