Chocolate brownie or Cheesecake?



Have you ever noticed how the men in Korean dramas are ever so ready to profess their love to the girls? They fulfill our unmet needs of having our men express their undying love to us. Oh boy! Lots of ladies out there with unmet needs. Dont' believe me? Check out the airports and IMM when the actors come to town.

I read in Oprah Magazine a while ago about a woman called Ellen Tien in her article called "Astonised by Love". She's a writer who's been married for 12 years (like me). Life is normal, life is good. Then, she had an acute attack of a dilapidating illness that rendered her paralysed for a few months. Her husband took care of her without any questions asked. The story of her husband's dedication towards her and their 7 year old son touched my heart. Read it.


So, there is such a man afterall. Like chocolate brownies. Silent and unaffected on the outside but oozing with love on the inside. We just have to break open the hard surface to feel the warmth of the melted chocolate within. Much like our Prince Shin in Goong and so many other men that I have classified under this category.

So ladies, STOP for a while and look carefully at the hard, cold chocolate brownie that you have on your dessert plate. Don't look at other diner's plates of cheesecakes and ice-cream. Perhaps your chocolate brownie will fill your heart and soul with more warmth and love than you'll ever know.


I know.



I have a chocolate brownie too.





Post-note: But then again, there's no harm in loving a cheesecake. Afterall, without cheesecakes like 성시경, there would not be any love songs left in this world!
