"first love ....joys and pains"

my experience last saturday awakened me to two realities: One, my babies, except Nina of course, are now experiencing the joys and excitement of being in love and two, I have also ventured into a new dimension of parenthood...dealing with your sibling's experiences on having "relationships".

First love. I can still remember how it was....the excitement of seeing just a glimpse of the guy, hearing his voice, where he hangs out, his circle of friends, where he lives, etc.

My first love, first boyfriend lasted four years. I thought that time we'll end up in the altar. But when we were separated...the love just drifted away too. So does my second serious relationship...we parted....we drifted apart.

Looking back at those times now...i can only smile at the "thought" of how i went through it all. The "kilig" feeling of being together.....the small and petty quarrels.....breaking up.......hurting.....making up. Having boyfriends was both a sweet, painful experience.

Now my sons are in this phase...and kids now are really different from us then. I told them, it's wonderful to find someone that really makes your heart skip a beat...falling in love. But they should not let their hearts rule their brain....as of now. I want them to finish their studies first and when they do....when they are more stable and mature....am sure they'll have their hands full.

I may sound "unfair" but....well....just have to accept that since i have such great looking kids...i have to suffer the consequence.

Oh well........
