like dad?

so i've heard people saying that girls tend to look for guys who resemble their fathers and vice versa (guys looking for girls who are like their moms). well, based on my experiences when it comes to guys, i find that to become more and more true. of course, this will vary according to each person's individual relationship with their parent, am i not right? but in my case, i feel that i naturally tend to gravitate towards guys who are patient, and goofy and chill, like my dad.

my dad has always been the only male in the family, even the dog is female! wonder how he feels about that haha.. so he's always had to be the strength in this family. but what i admire most, is the way he cares for us. dad is the one who goes out to buy food for us when we decide to eat in, carry bags and shopping stuff for us, make sure we don't get wet when it rains, and when mum was still working full time, he even went marketing for her.

of course, like any human he's not perfect.

but yeah, living with him has made me more aware of some of the qualities i want in a guy. and i guess, it's not too much to ask for is it? i don't care for someone who lavishes me with gifts but leaves me crying at night... just someone who is able to provide and who loves and cares for me :)

i think all the valentine's day hype is starting to have an effect on me. what is with this post? lol i have no idea, and no i'm not bitter about spending this 14th single. in fact, it's quite enjoy seeing what outrageous lengths some guys go to to make their gfs/wives happy. and listen to other people's love stories. so sweet. so yeah, i think this is going to be a good valentine's day for me compared to last year's. i'm surrounded by people i love who love me back, and the greatest love i will ever have. i think that's good enough for me :)
