I was checking out some stuff from StumbleUpon and I came across this: When 4-8 Year old Kids are asked: What is Love? After reading this article, I suddenly felt this inner glow shining its way into a big happy face with some tears. They have proven indeed that you can never be too old to learn what love’s about.

Here are my favorite responses:

When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.

Rebecca- age 8

“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.

You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.”

Billy – age 4

“Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.”

Karl – age 5

“Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.”

Terri – age 4

“Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.”

Danny – age 7

“Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss”

Emily – age 8

“Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.”

Bobby – age 7 (Wow!)

“If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,”

Nikka – age 6

“Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.”

Noelle – age 7

“Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.”

Chris – age 7

“Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.”

Mary Ann – age 4

Yah I remember that friend of mine I used to call Pucca. Anatomically speaking, like Pucca, you can barely see her eyes. The more it disappears when she smiles or laughs. Even when she’s mad or serious or at the height of watching a really scary movie, her eyes remain a secret unless you look her straight in the face. An epitome of a regular chinita.

Back in our Manila Summer Affiliation, especially when she’s wearing red, I’d tie her hair in buns and take her pictures like a cosplayer in Anime conventions. Here’s one of her pictures.

Meyl, sorry for the exposure. Love you! ^_^

After almost a month, I suddenly found myself going through a Pucca Funny Love episode marathon in Youtube. This cutest chinese cartoon character gives me more reasons to enjoy my youthfulness. I love Pucca so much. Her unique passion for chasing Garu around in romantic attempts is overwhelming. It's the "funny love" the sequel title was talking about. I'm no Pucca but I could tell Garu likes her too not only because she's got mad skills in Kung-fu but maybe because he doesn't want to be chased by anyone else, and even so he'd still pick Pucca as his private stalker no matter how resenting his expressions may be.

I think I've watched every Pucca Funny Love episode and I won't hesitate to watch it over and over again. She's so cute that she reminds me of a girl I used to know. Haha
