Here are some tips for your relationship to be more loving and healthy! Take time to read and reflect.  

1. Learn to compromise.

2. Acquire and build your ability to be assertive.

3. Disagree without demonizing. You are BOTH individuals; you both have a right to your opinions.

4. Recognize that very often when you make concessions or compromises, you are not caving in, you are staying in.

5. Think compassion not competition . Chill out.   Revisit hot issues when you’ve cooled off and can re-open the door of reason.

6. Resist the urge to push each other’s buttons. You know what I mean . Button-pushing is a no-win, inflammatory activity.

7. Retain individuality. The who-you-are-person-inside is what your lover fell in love with in the first place.

8. Self-esteem – build it, feel it, nurture it.

9. Let love grow. Nurture it and protect it, because it is precious.

10. Write down your current mindset of how sex fits into your relationship.

11. How does your perception differ from your partner’s ideas?

12. If you feel guilty about having sex, examine why you feel this way. Come up with statements that counter your guilty thoughts with a more positive view.

13. Seek a healthy outlook about your body, your sexual appetite, and your mental health.

14. Make it your business to learn how your body functions, and what makes you feel good.

15. Meet with your trusted spiritual counselor to gain insight about how sexual activities are meant to fit into a healthy relationship according to your religious doctrine.

16. Seek counseling from a professional who specializes in sexual relationships.

17. If you are in an abusive relationship, seek immediate help from authorities.  Emergency resources are available. Muster up your true survival instincts, and get the hell out of Dodge!

 I got this @ intent.com

Ngayo’y aking inuunawang pilit
Mga pagkukulang kong iyong ginigiit
Sana’y malaman mo na tanging ikaw lamang
Ang aking iniintindi

Nakatanim pa sa’king ala-ala
Pangako mong mananatili ka
Kaya’t paglisan mo’y naiwan ang pusong ito
Na ngayo’y bitin na bitin

Chorus:

‘Di mo na mababawi iniwang sakit
Sa mga salitang binitiwan mo
Hindi ba’t ikaw na rin ang nagpasya, nagtakda
At siyang unang umiwas
Bakit nga ba ako ‘yong pinaasa?

Nasa aking guniguni malamig mong tinig
Kasabay ng hanging na tumarampi
Na para bang ika’y nariyan sa aking paligid
Tahimik na nagmamasid

Nahulog na’ng mga ulap, buwan at araw, mga bituwin
Ang hinugol na panaho’y na saan?
‘Di ba’t sayang naman?
Giliw

[Repeat chorus]

I was really guilty last night with regards to the voluntary turning off of lights or the Earth hour.  I never realized that it was a voluntary.  I was just waiting together with my classmates for the electricity to disappear.  We kept on waiting since we anticipated that the electricity will be down at 8.30pm.   We were still wondering why there were still lights. haha.  Until we realized and concluded that it was just a voluntary act of switching off all the lights to participate on the Earth hour!  But i think and i am pretty sure that i am not alone who is guilty! haha. In fact, i was a bit excited last night on how it would be like since everyone is dependent on lights or electricity. haha. tsk.

Tsk! It was all a misconception.  Well, the reason of the Earth hour which is the turning off of lights to save the climate change for an hour, is to reduce the emission of gas which greatly affects our ozone layer.  Because this gas causes global warming  or the damaged of our ozone.  Thank You and Long live those who participated   

Soar High! yahoo!

Wow!  I have finished all my school requirements just today!  I am done with everything.  At last, I made it!  I can’t still believe that I will be getting my diploma and marching on stage this coming days.  "I can’t still believe…" was my status message in YM few days ago.  Some of my friends were bothered about it. hehe.  Finally!  OMG.  This is really is it!  Well, I am not really expecting this,much due to my subjects deficiency which i thought to cause me delay.  I got some deficiencies because i did not enroll during one particular summer and of course because of my flunked subjects (I have 2 failed subjects during second yr i think but in different semester.  One is philosophy and the other one is Computer programming.  But, it was not only me  who flunked, it was almost all of the class at least!  Somehow, it becomes one of my turning points in my college life.  Though i did and finished all of this stuff, I never let myself to feel so excited for this coming days or the Grand day to come and be overwhelmed with what is happening.  Because, I encountered many times already that whenever you expect too much and be very overwhelmed, the opposite of what you expect may take over.  Oh noh! Life is really like this. hehe.  So, for now, i just feel normal and still looking for something to worry about.wahh!  In fact, now i am a bit pressured in planning and deciding for the next stage or step of my life which soon i will be struggling and sacrificing another agony.  Ohhhhh! That’s life!  You really have to play and fight the game in order to survive and be the winner of one’s life.

After i finished my stuff in school this afternoon, i went to San pedro and bought colorfull nail polish there. hehe. I enjoyed walking in the side walk while viewing some accessories and other stuffs there.  I missed that place.  I have also bought a small rubix cube.  It’s very cute.hehe.  Then, i  visited the church.  With that, i feel so religious! hehe.  Of course, I thanked God for all the good things, the blessings and  i also asked forgiveness.  Finally, i went to Gaisano Illustre and suddenly i bumped into two young men selling their own designed "Choker" on the sidewalk.    I bought one for me since i already planned to buy a choker.  I am really fond of collecting some accessories or "burloloys" (is it the correct spelling?ahmp!) hehe.  You know, i got interested with the talent of the two young men who are able to use their talent to earn.  Wow!  Each of them has their own style of designing pendants for the choker.  They have different designs unique from them.  I have came to interview or asked one of them on how they created the pendant.  The pendants are attractive and very artisitc, in fairness . In fact, it is just made of clay and processed it to make it hard.  The one that i interviewed told me about it and i asked him if he has finished college.  Unfortunately, he said he wasn’t because his concentration is already on making designs and in selling his masterpiece which is the "choker".  uh oh!  So, we ended up there because he has other buyers to accomodate.  And finally, I rode a jeep and got home very tired.  

These are just part of my story after the errands this day.  I still have lots of stories and thoughts to share in here yet, i have to end up here because my back is already aching.  It asks for a rest. huhu.  (Some pictures below)

Single?  Well, you belong here! 

Can you relate with this?…

 Being alone is better…

than…

to have somebody

who makes you feel…

ALONE!

"Ito ang hirit ng mga SINGLE at broken hearted!"  Am i right?? 

Silence doesn’t always mean yes, it may also mean no but it’s better left unsaid.

Anger doesn’t always mean hatred, it could just be a means of coping.

  Laughter doesn’t always mean happiness,sometimes it’s just a mask.

  Tears doesn’t always mean sorrow, it may also be an outlet of joy

Staying away doesn’t always mean it’s the end, it may also mean the best beginning.

And thought life is so complicated, it’s always beautiful! 

Life is just like a song, "Akala" by Paraokya ni Edgar.  And, also Life is really full of drama.  I know everyone is experiencing the life’s drama.  So, just take it easy guys, you are in pain now, you’ll probably be healed and happy as time passes by.  Though, there are instances when you feel like giving up but after all you’ll realize everyhting.  It is one way of appreciating what really life is and how life makes us truly human. As what they say, we must feel pain in order to learn and grow. 

I can really say that what happened was an absurdity!  What an experience!  I forgot my wallet and leaving home with no money, just centavos in my purse. huhu.

Well, i was in a rush this morning to be at school before 8:40am because i have a class at that time and we’re having a film viewing, a continuation of last meeting.  After i prepared myself for school and able to transfer some things in my other bag hurriedly, i left home and never noticed the time anymore.  However, i knew that it was not time yet since my time at home is 10 minutes advance from school.  When i rode the "multicab", i tried to get my wallet inside my bag to pay for my fare.  Unfortunately, there was none.  I didn’t find my wallet!  I left my wallet in my other bag which i used yesterday.  Then my heart started beating fast and deciding what should  i do.  I was puzzled whether to go on riding to school or tell  the driver to drop me on the way.  But then, i just stayed and the idea of borrowing money from my classmate for today when i reach school forced me to truly go on riding the "multicab" even though i can’t pay my fare for that moment.  So, I was really trying myself to be calm and to appear natural.  Though i did that, there was still that mixed feelings  of guilt and fear deep inside that i may be embarrassed if the driver would ask for my fare.  I kept myself to act naturally ,still.  Waahhh.  Luckily, I was able to arrive school safely and not that late.

And, luckily, when i shared it with my one of my classmates, he really did not hesitate to lend me money. haha.  Though i did not borrow yet he suddenly offer me the money.  Oh! what a good heart!  Thank you Lord.

That was a first time experience!~
