How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

Hello everyone! Page 6 of 366 just begun on this side of the world, hope it's gonna be a great one! Hope 2012 has been treating everyone alright!
I guess every internet user in the corner of the Earth would have come across Timothy Tiah's really sweet meme proposal video at least once in their internet lifetime. Well, every internet user in Malaysia at least? This video came out like, last month, and I posted it on Facebook and Twitter. I have to admit that posting it up here didn't really cross my mind, I'M SO SORRY BLOG, I HAVE BEEN ABANDONING YOU. ;( It's just that recently I came across another proposal video, it was done on an American reality show and it was really exaggerated! Like seriously, there was a dancing mob and all and the girl just won't stop crying. -.- Okay la, I mean, even if it was just a simple one she would probably have cried her eyeballs out anyway, she was being proposed to for goodness' sake. In comparison to this meme proposal it was definitely more lavish and the guy must have spent a hell lot of money to arrange it.

For some reason I can't get the embed for the video so we'll just have to make do with the link! It's titled "Best Wedding Proposal Ever" and I'm like, hah. No. More like, "Most Exaggerated Wedding Proposal Ever".

This, my friends, is the real shiz. 



"But, I love you, and, I think you're my soul mate.."

Those few words, cheesy as hell, yet somehow, when he said it, that did it for me. It sounded so genuine, so sincere and obviously not scripted at all. I could hear him say it from the bottom of his heart and even though the rest of his speech sounded pretty normal and, I may add, corny, it still managed to make me tear, and I do dare say that never in my life, have I ever cried watching a proposal scene on TV or anything. It just also occurred to me that I have never actually witnessed a proposal in real life, ever! So I guess when I saw this, it seemed like the most beautiful thing ever. Not that it isn't anyway.

I guess if you aren't a frequent 9gag reader the memes might be a bit hard to understand, but it doesn't take a genius to understand the message he's trying to get across.

Apparently this video is so popular all over the world, even Ryan Seacrest and Christina Perri have seen it! It seems that Ryan Seacrest came across it and shared it on Twitter or something, hence the popularity.

And they both are bloggers! More the reason to love them. This is the post on the proposal on Audrey's blog and Tim's blog! 

I am so happy for them even though they are complete strangers to me! They are going to be so happy growing old together. Congratulations Tim and Audrey! :D
