Every Sunday, I look forward to surfing by two websites. The first being Postsecret<\/b><\/a> where people send in postcards anonymously bearing their deepest secrets. All of the postcards are creatively made, and the messages can really tug at your heart. Some confessions are funny and cute, others are beautifully tragic. Some make you smile as you identify with them. Some make your eyes water at its sad message. It must be cathartic and therapeutic for the individuals who send their secrets, and most of all, when reading it, it reminds me life is about these myriad of emotions and situations.
\nThe second website I surf to is the Weddings & Celebrations<\/b><\/a> section of the New York Times. Every week, a wedding couple and their love story are featured. There’s nothing like a good love story and I’m a sucker for it even though my own love life is in the doldrums. And perhaps that’s exactly the reason why I need to read such things to not give up on love.
\nIt’s just nice to read how real people (and not characters in novels) meet, fall in love, and decide to spend the rest of their lives together. What I like about it is it features people from all walks of life and situations. Gay and lesbian couples are also featured as just another love story, with no emphasis on their sexuality. Something like that would never happen in Singapore’s media, I’m sure. Singapore’s media is just too straight-laced for this sort of thing. Blah.
\nSo yeah, that’s Sunday reading fodder for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
