After work,I and my Beau together with my friends celebrated my birthday @ NCCC Mall B3, last July 14, 2011.  I had a reservation in one of their exclusive rooms, the Barkada Room.  We enjoyed the Billiards, Videoke and the food! I received gifts from them as well.  A wine from my Friends and of course the Bouquet from my Beau! Wow! We were surprised with the flowers ‘coz it was so lovely and fresh (so bad I can’t show you pictures!).  I even got speechless ‘coz it was my first time to receive a bouquet, in fairness! haha.  Well, it doesn’t mean that I’ve never ever received a flower ever since. I did but it wasn’t that special and expensive as my beau’s gift to me. hehe.

So thankful for his deep love and care for me.  So lucky having him as my Beau! I love him as also.  May God’s guidance and blessings may always be with us as we go along. I thank also for the people who supported us especially my family. 

Above all, thank you to all! 

Too bad I can’t upload pictures. It won’t show. hmp!

Happy happy Birthday to me! hehe

I am now 23 years of age. uh oh old enough huh! hehe. Well, that’s life we have to move up and be responsible enough until we get to have our own family to support and live with.  Time now moves so fast.  We’d realize how quickly time passes by in our busy life.  Uhm, I’d like to thank God for all the blessings and guidance he’s bestowing me and to my love ones.  I feel so blessed and I do hope that God continues to bless me and guide me in my dreams and aspirations in life and in work.  I thank also for my love ones who are always there for me.  

I wish to be blessed in every aspect of my life and to have more years to come in my life!

Last weekend, I and my Beau had an escapade in Cebu & Bohol! I love the experiences, it was N-I-C-E and E-N-J-O-Y-A-B-L-E though we’ve spent it for 2 days only! (Nakakabitin super!)hehe.  How much more if it’s a week, very enjoyable and fun it would be…if  and only if you have the budget! hmm. Money plays a vital role ‘coz you wouldn’t enjoy the fun and adventures if you don’t have enough of it!

Anyway, this trip we had is a birthday gift of my Beau for me.  Ahmm, 3 days more from now it’s gonna be my Birthday! I will be 23 on that day! Ooh, I’m getting old huh!

Well, during the escapade, we stayed in Cebu the whole saturday.  Supposedly, our itinerary on the Saturday is in Bohol yet, we arrived almost late at the port and the boat was full already.  So, we’ve decided to move it on the next day, Sunday.  In Cebu, we had never let the Skyride @ Crown Regency Tower escaped! hehe.  We tried the Sky walk rather than the Edge coaster and it was fun! I love it!  At first, upon walking on the aisle with all the harness I felt scared looking down .  Imagine from the 37th floor.  FYI, I have that height phobia in fairness! hehe.  However, as we continue walking at the edge around the building, I no longer felt scary. I became brave enough to look down and to sit on the edge while dropping my feet! hihi.  I somehow conquered my Phobia! In Skywalk, only 15 minutes is allotted per person or a group of 8 and you will be taken pictures 4 times from different angles.   This serves as your souvenir. The picture is not free, you have to pay each for 230 pesos if you like! We bought 1 picture where we’re together! Nice! We were given a certificate stating that we survived the Sky walk ride! each one of us.  I so love it! We enjoyed it together. 

Next is the Day tour we had in Bohol! My first time to ride the Oceanjet and we dropped at Tagbilaran City.  Wow! I got amazed on what I’ve observed in Tagbilaran.  I truly appreciated the place ‘coz of it’s cleanliness and friendliness.  hehe.  I  also appreciated "Kuya Jun" our tour guide for he really welcomed us and he shared some jokes and stories about legends and the history of Bohol.  Very nice of him! And, the Tarsiers! They are very small, as small as my palm! My palm is small enough huh! hehe.  Tarsiers are weak and asleep during the day and awake at night! Thus, they are asleep with closed eyes when we had our visit. Tarsiers are nocturnal and you must set off your camera flash when taking pictures on them and no touching. You will see sign boards to inform the public.

So far, we had have visited quite a number of tourist’s spots in Bohol particularly the ff:

• Prony the Phython - Where you will meet Maricar, the Hilarious Entertainer of the visitors of Pronny. We enjoyed watching her performed.  You’d really giggle! hehe.
• The Hanging Bridge - made of Bamboo tree. Wherein you can buy cheaper souvenirs. P5)
• Cable Car and ZipLine - Nice! We only have ridden the Cable car, not that scary ‘coz its just a short distance.  My first time! It’s good for starter!hehe.

• Loboc Floating Restaurant - P400 buffet and almost an hour of floating on the Loboc River.  You’d also enjoy the people there dancing Folk dances where the cottage have to stop over then continue to float.
• Chocolate Hills - My first time there! I was not that amazed with it yet it gives a nice view when taking pictures!
• Blood compact - where Secatuna and Legaspi established their friendship.
• The Baclayon Church - The second oldest church in the Philippines.  We took pictures at the right side of the building (when facing in front of the church) where you can see the face of St. Padre Pio.

It was absolutely tiring yet I and my Beau had a lot of fun, amusement, excitement & Lesson from our Escapade! Yeeheey! Thank’s God for the blessings and guidance.  Afterward, when we arrived in Cebu from Bohol we gone directly to attend Mass at Basilica del Sto. Niño. 

Wonderful and a successful trip! Mwaah! More of it soon…

Helloooo! Welcome back to me… hehe.

It’s been quite awhile since the last update I’ve had here in my blog. Actually I got busy after the last post i have here and I’ve got also to concentrate only in one of my blogs (glamorusa.blogspot.com).  In my other blog, I used to share or post my new experiences, updates of me and some of my deep emotions. hehe.

So now, I’d like to continue on updating this one…if & only if I have time and i-connection.

As I logged in to Yahoo messenger, I noticed this Dating tips as one of the featured news on a pop-up window from YM.  I suddenly clicked on the link and found again another link on the page which states, 9 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIP LAST.  Well, I got interested about it since I’m really fond of reading romance and anything about Dating.  I’d feel "kilig"! hmmm.  Anyway, I definitely agree on the different ways the writer pointed out in a relationship.  So, I’d like to share this article from Stacy Phillips, a relationship expert. 

 The 9 ways…

1. Delineate "yours," "mine," and "ours."

If you have finances that should be placed in each of these three categories (for example, you have an inheritance and he has a savings account he accumulated before the marriage, and you also have a checking account to which you both contribute), have an upfront conversation about those assets and what belongs to whom. Moreover, talk about your time away from "together" activities, like he wants to bowl with the guys on Tuesday nights and you want to attend your yoga class on Wednesday. Respect these important delineations. Doing so will make the relationship stronger.

2. Carve out time to be together.

Sure, you’re busy working and attending meetings, but how important are those things if your relationship falls apart? Make time to do things together that you both enjoy. This could be anything from grocery shopping to taking in a movie. Take regular vacations together — at least a couple of long weekends and, better yet, a couple of long vacations (more than a weekend jaunt). Commit to a weekly date night and make it as unbreakable as that all-important staff meeting at work.

3. Take care of yourself.

Spend time every day on your appearance and your physical well-being. Work out regularly, eat healthy, and stay fit. Not only will your partner like looking at you, but you’ll feel better about yourself.

4. Make sure communication goes both ways.

Many relationships fail because of misunderstandings. Effective communication skills are necessary if your relationship is going to survive. If there is a hint or vibe that your partner is disconnected or you are unhappy about something, do not ignore those signals or feelings. Approach your mate and suggest an open discussion. You may be frustrated, angry, or hurt and so may he or she, but always stay calm and reasonable. Your goal should be to resolve differences, and the only viable way of doing so is through open and direct communication.

5. Criticize gently.

Don’t judge too harshly. If you criticize, do so in the same way you would want others to criticize you. Be kind and considerate.

6. Never stop courting one another.

Gifts, compliments, and a loving embrace go a long way, especially when they are a surprise. Send unexpected greeting cards, slap a Post-It note where you know your mate will find it, keep those flowers coming in a "just because" way. Treat your partner with the same courtesies you did when you were dating. A terrific mindset is to pretend you are trying to win your partner all over again.
 
7. Keep the flame burning.

Keep your romance alive despite the chaos and craziness life can present from living in the midst of sheer reality. Resolve to offer up romantic suggestions for your partner’s pleasure, even if only occasionally, like cooking her favorite meal when you know she’s had an impossible day, or entice him into a bubble bath with you just for the fun of it. Little gestures like these from time to time can ensure that the flame you once had burns forever.

8. Spell out your terms of endearment.

Call out the expectations for one another in the form of the "terms" of your relationship together. Put them in a contract, if you like. This contract will simply clarify and document those needs and wants that mean a lot to you. For example, though he typically runs late, your agreement might specify those times when he agrees not to be late; she may agree to keep her spending at a certain limit, though she typically has little restraint as she traipses through the mall. Discussing these boundaries, as well as your needs and wants, can prevent either of you from stepping over the line and causing irritation. It is often the disappointments (needs and wants, gone unexpressed) that bring down a relationship.

9. Renegotiate your contract.

Your relationship will evolve, and your needs and wants will change right along with it. Once a year, it’s a good idea to review, update, or revise your contract with each other — whether it is verbal or written. Be mindful, however, not to allow such a "contract" to ruin your relationship.

 I’m hoping for those in a Relationship that you may apply these in taking care and loving your partner or relationship.  And, for those who are prospecting and waiting for the right man/woman and right time, may you get ideas and apply these tips!  hmmm. Love it!GBU
