Does Your Love Love You Back?

I watched Fever Pitch the other day and the ultimate question that was raised from the sweet warm-hearted movie was this: "You give so much to your love/passion in life.  But does it love you back?"

The main character of Fever Pitch is a dude who’s an ardent fan of the non-performing Red Sox baseball team.  He never misses a game or even practice sessions.  To him, he has to be there because they ‘need’ him.  The crunch came when his girlfriend needed him to be with her on the day an important game was due and she asked that ultimate question.

It made me think, you know.  I’m a woman of many interests and loves.  It’s hard to count them on both sets of hands and toes.  I started asking myself if the time I invest in them is equivalent to what they reciprocate to me. 

For instance, my great love for Chek Hup.  Since discovering it about 7 years ago, I have never found another instant white coffee brand quite like it.  It was as natural as breathing to promote it to my friends.  Quite a number have professed a liking to it and persuaded others to join the growing bandwagon.  And the ultimate question was, do they love me back?  The answer is YES and YES!  Not that I expected anything in return for my devotion – but it does warm my heart to be appreciated for my loyalty :)

Chek Hup is the reason I pry myself out of bed every morning.  The mental image of me gripping a cup of soothing, hot tasty white coffee in front of my computer spurs me to get my behind to the office pronto. 

Friends may come and migrate away but Chek Hup remains.  Even if they are not sold in Carrefour, I know I can always get them at Giant or Aeon or selected Chinese pharmacies.  The more people I can convince to love Chek Hup, the more likely they will be churning out more coffee goodness from infinity to beyond.  If Linus of Peanuts has his security blanket, then I can have my Chek Hup.

So yeah, I’m devoted to Chek Hup because not because it rewards me but because it’s always there for me – come rain or shine or hailstorm.  I just need to remember to stock it up in advance to prevent panic attacks :P
