==A SOULFUL RELATIONSHIP==

this is a good read.. i like it a lot. i found it in a friendster post .. remember the things i was yakking the other day?.. well this explains it well!!! read on..

An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye." Before you get involvedand make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low-self esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don'tfool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really that important. Once you decide to commit to someone,over time their flaws, vulnerability's, petpeeves, and differences will become more obvious.

If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn how to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths. You are two unique individual children of God who have decided to share a life together. Neither one of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you bring out the best in each other? Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare, and control? What do you bring to therelationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, pastpain. You can't take someone to the altar to alter him or her. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay. If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and "a life," you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain.

Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship.

Seeking status, sex, wealth and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship.

What keeps a relationship strong? Communication, Intimacy, Trust, A sense of humor, Sharing household tasks, Some getaway time without business or children.

Daily exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug,a call, a touch, a note). Leave a nice messageon their voicemail or send a nice email. Sharing common goals and interests.

Growth is important. Grow together, not awayfrom each other, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure. Allow your mate to have outside interest. You can't always be together. Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of. Don't try to control one another.

Learn each other's family situation. Respect his or her parents regardless. Don't put pressure on each other for material goods. Remember, for Richer or for Poorer.

If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse,neglect, dishonesty, and pain replace the passion.

my nails are too pink!

i had an ingown nail in my middle finger for days and it hurts like hell.. most people wonder why do i have it on my hands, di ba ingrowns are commonly on the feet? but anyways, i went to the parlor to have it removed yesterday. turned out its not an ingrown, the bump were just pus. eeew. baka daw najila ko ung *tengang daga* (un ang sabi ng manikurista), nagkasugat ang it got infected. buti na lang daw pinaalis ko kagad kasi baka mas lumalala.. im speechless out of gratitude to her, nakalimutan kong sabihin wag lagyan ng mertayolate(pucha ano b spelling n2??), gamot na pula na lang, ung kuko ko.. un ang pula tuloy ng nails ko today, ampanget!

niwei.. mjo may prob ako ngyn sa bahay... ung pinsan kong walang hiya, binuko ko sa tatay ko about ian.. un.. mejo malaking problem nga.. di ko sure kung pinapaniwalaan sha ng tatay ko but the prob is when we finally come out clean, then it would prove my cousin is right all along, and he would feel na pinagkakaisahan nmen sha.... haaay.. im scared tuloy..

well i guess that would be it for now.. its to early, dont have other stories to tell pa.. oh, its ian's exam today, goodluck!

another weekend at the office

Hi hi!!...

nothing unusual, as ive said its just another weekend at the office. it sucks having to go to work on sats and sundays but its alil sacrifice when i get to have EVERY OTHER DAY off.. :) i love trend!

umm.. nothing much to say.. wala n nmn akong pera.. siiiigh.. i wasnt able to stop myself from buying a Bayo jacket.. it matches the bag ian gave me.. (tapos sasabihan lang akong mukang MMDA ni anthony! ::DUUUUUH::) MMDA daw o fashionista ka ba?? (mangaway daw ba sa blog.. hehe, di peace tayo tuni)... tingin ko mas marami na akong jacket sa pantalon.. di po ako nagyayabang, e kasi nmn tatatlo n lng ata ang pantalon kong nagagamit kasi nga tumaba n talaga ko.. niwei, i would have to think of how could i convince my mom na meralco bill na lang nmen babayaran ko.. di ko na kasi talaga kaya e... so i can buy more jackets! haha! ofcors not.. so i can start up a savings account..

anyway.. ian and i were having 'little' conflicts.. sabi nya d na raw ako sweet.. e totoo nmn.. mashado n akong macho ngyn... so i figured its been a while since ive written him something or anything about him.. kaya po, ill post it here for everyone to see.. hehe.. o di ba pa-sweet points +++!!

in the short time we have been with each other (1 year is short compared to other people's rel), ive learned lots of things i sometimes wish to share..




ahem ahem ahem.. here goes, my LOVE TIPS... haha :))

sometimes you cant expect your partner to decide on certain situations as you would.. remember that you are two different people trying to work out a relationship, it would be too much of a bore if you always agree on everything..

hindi rin porket ganto ka sa kanya, ganun rin sha sayo.. labo no? hmm to try explain.. you have to accept that what youre doing for him would not always get back to you, in the same multitude. sometimes your effort gets returned in different ways.. for example, hmm.. lagi akong nanghihingi sa kanya ng testi (naka ilan na ko sha hanggang ngyn ala pa!!), i know he's finding it a lil difficult kasi he's not used to writing stuff, pro he makes it up for a lot of different ways.. important thing is, even though it's really not you or is not part of your personality, you extend your efforts because you know that would what make your partner happy.. meet halfway, compromise.

after the first few months, the kilig pace fades.. you get used to each others company, and you submerge into a routine. lalo na in our case, we are in the same office. admit it, it gets a lil nakakasawa if you wont do anything about it.. you would get suya even on your most fave resto if that's where you eat everyday di ba?? so be creative! find ways to bring something new to the relationship.. it doesnt have to involve gastos like going out of town.. just experiment.. eat on a new resto, visit a diff place, or stay at home and watch movies over and over again.. in our case, just anything to break a normal day to day routine is romantic...

di porket ang Bf ko na ata ang pinakamabait, pinakapasensyoso at pinaka walang kasamaang ugaling tao sa mundo na kilala ko, pwede ko na shang abusuhin. saometimes i have to slap myself hard to remember that. kasi ian's too tolerant. yes he gets angry sometimes (pag soobra na talaga ko) pro i know i have the power to make him forget it kagad.. kaya i know it depends a lot on me to treat him the best that i could..

you have to give yourselves a lil room to breathe. as ive said over and over again, kami we see each other almost everyday.. pro sometimes you have to hold yourself back and let your partner enjoy things without you.. youre still individuals, and you having to sometimes be on your own is healthy on your relationship... so you get to bring new things in and share it with him..

hindi cool-off/break-up/time-off, (whatever you call it) ang sagot to your problem.. a lil room (as ive said) would do the trick.. but never ever engage yourself sa mga on ngyn break mamaya types of relationships. it's tiring, it can irritate your friends (f done over and over again), at nakaklaspag sha ng relasyon. not nice.

dont frighten yourself of the future.. dati i worry kung si ian na ba tlaga.. if we really would last forever or end up with different partners.. sometimes, i think na may mangyayaring masamang masama sa'min(knock on wood jusko), ksi what we have seems too good to be true.. pero now, i try to forget all these worries.. i take it one day at a time.. i still daydream of our possible future.. pro for now, i just have fun..

to end this off, i would like to say sorry to him..sobrang dami ko ng kasalan sa kanya.. lagi shang napaphiya sa ibang tao.. pano taklesa na nga ako sa ibang tao pa lang, how bout sa kanya pa na pinaka kumportable akong tao sa mundo.... milyong milyong pambabara, panlalait, minsan mura (dont mean to), at minsan batok ang ineedure nya with me.. ewan ko how he can still that he still loves me as much as he first did.... i know this is as lucky as one can get.. :) ako, from now on, i'd try to change.. it isnt easy kasi this is how i was from the beginning. sarcastic. mapanginsulto. pranka. loud. pro at the end of the day, it's all about just one thing. respect.. with a love like ours, i know we could fight off and overcome whatever comes our way.. :)

UGLIEST DAY E-V-E-R

hi. i've never felt this ugly in my whole life.. my allergies (or so i called them) have reached my face and invaded my eye area, they got swollen.. para kong nasuntok, para akong naka goggles.. waaaah!! YES, it's bad as you think..

ok, enough on my wimpering.. last valentines night, we met up with cathy, rydell, mae, and her bf (forgot his name, sorry) and finally got the chance to eat out.. ok lang same old same old.. :)

today's our monthsary.. weeee!!! ian got me the bag i've been wanting so long. thanks po.. i remember last year, bale it was our first monthsary then, i was at mel's gumagawa ng Software namin (or was it Feasib).. grabe it was that long na... parand hindi one year ago lang...:)

saya.. , buti naman masaya ako kahit panget ako. today lang naman.

Caitlin, the prettiest girl i know :)

and his brother Chad (his real name is: Nezzarnebuchad)

its valentines

hi. we were able to eat last time at jack's loft (i'll post pics after this) last thursday, take noe tpagkatapos ng maraming debate.. it's good to be with some of my friends again. unfortunately most can't come.. (it was just me, ian, inggo, tuni, the, karen, ying, mel and ujin) they almost made us pay for an extra meal we didn't order, luckily we were able to see it.. hah! smart yata kme..

i've been acting as filter for two shifts now.. kawawa nmn patterns ko, but it's ok since it's val's birthday, (our filter on leave).. cathy wasnt able to be there last saturday (dunno why) so ian and i just ate alone, guess where? panay panay ang jacks loft nmen palibhasa kakasweldo! unfortunately, we didn't enjoy the meal as much as we used to.. food sucked this time! sayang din un ha..

heard good news today: si sarah at niel nagkabalikan na!!! knew they would soon work it out! theye are really meant for each other, maybe they just needed a little time off (kaya siguro kme inindian nung isang gabi! haha!)

my allergies are back again, have i told you? i've been to the doctor twice during my shifts and they're getting worse each day.. aaaagh i hope it would soon all clear up..

my ate cathy and her family went home from the states last week. her kids, caitlin and chad are the moooooost adorable kids ever.. caitlin's so pretty and smart, plus she's sweet and she's always making lambings.. chad, his younger brother is just as cute.. (tabachingching) at sobrang kukulit.. mga pang commercial tong mga batang to, i'll show you their pics later.. they're staying here for good. they bought a house at laguna and caitlin's starting school on June.. it was my kuya's decision to live here to raise them instead of sa states.. quite a good decision considering they already had a stable life there..

hmm.. what else.. oh, it's valentine's i forgot!! HAPPY HEART's DAY!! sana umalis na ung mga foreigner sa table ko at ng makabalik na sa trabaho.. ciao!

just trying out multiple pics..

hi there.. as you can see... me customizations na ang blog ko! whoopeedoo.. natuto rin kung pano.. just watch out for more things to be added here.. thanks to jina boy for the tips, at sigurado gagayahin din ako ni tuni.. har har!!!

we plan on eating out later here at libis, sana wala ng magback-out.. masaya yun sigurado.. pro wala pa kaming pera.. sana susko me sweldo na!! dahil pag nagkataon, papanoorin lng nmen kumain ang mga kaibigan nmen.. on saturday, cathy is going to visit me.. hmmmm..

that's it for now, not much to say..

kudo's!!

huweeeeeeeeeeeee

hello to you.

yun lang.

joke! haha, as if.. ira made me a testimonial, thanks po! at least i learned that someone's actually reading stuffs i post here. . last shift i made testi's for lots of people. SANA gawan din nila ko.. SANA PO TALAGA.. hehe..

as usual, im thinking about something na naman.. there's this gym near our office, Pinnacle. grabe you wont believe gano kaganda the place is. they have fun classes like hatha yoga, spinning (ung stationary bike) while your singing karaeoke, belly dancing, strip tease (as if id try that!), they have their own spa, boxing ring and rock climbing wall (dont know how it's really called), and of course gazillion gym equipments.. you get all thet if you're a member. when i inquired and learned the price, ang reaksyon ko: wow ang gandang gym, sarap sigurong maging member, sana lang kaya ko.. annual mem fee is 23 thou something.. whew! how how carabao.... (pota corny) :)

niwei, days later, when i asked someone from my office if the discount for trenders is still on, she told me she's selling HER membership (there's still one year left coz she got 6 months free) for 11 thousand! if you can't compute (nang-insulto!), that's over half the price off!!! damn! problem is how how carabao (uli) (at corny uli!) would i get 11 thousand pesossssssssss!!!!!!!!

hmm, actually i might be able to have the money (M-A-Y-B-E) ::uh, paging Mahendra:: but i am actually alloting that money for my room rennovation i've been thinking for months and months now...

ano po bang gagawin ko? ano pong pipiliin ko?.. :(

saturday night i wasnt able to go to work, i was at tin's.. grad party nya. at debut ito!! may mga dahon na dividers, caterers, at ang daming fud!! nice to be with my friends again, sawa na ko sa mga muka nila tuni at inggo.. hehe.. instead of going home the following day, went to gateway pa with ian.. grabe ang gandang mall, sayang kasi sa matao shang lugar.. still it was nice, may garden pa sa loobe.. the movi house was great, i like it better than eastwood's.. mura pa! just for 90 pesos for free seatings ang 120 for the reserved ones.. di ko maintindihan bat may nanonood pa sa sm, ang dumi dumi tas 90 na rin! (di kaya ako mademanda nito?!) watched MEET THE FOCKERS, the movie was greeeeeeeat.. loved it.. no dull scenes every character was funny and LJ was soo adorable.. (ass hoooole.. :))

sunday night was the usual, just went to mass, ate out, went home, slept.

we decided to go out for merienda dahil you wont believe the food prices in there.. 115 for a can of pepsi, 120 for instant noodles and a 200 for the chocolates (ung tig bebente).. so we ate sa may star city na lang, buti na lang me baon ako, di kme magugutom, di nyo kami maloloko! westin was more incredible at night ang ganda talaga! me torches pa on the poolside.. by 10pm, ian was already snoring loudly.. feeling ko para na kong misis na nagiisip hiwalayan ang asawa, di ko kaya.. hehe.. ang ingay talaga.. buti na lang alng net un di nya to mababasa.. niwei, he left early the mornig after kasi nga exam nya.. ako i left mga 9am, kasi natatakot ako mag-isa.. ewan ko, it was eerie bein alone in there..

before i went home, i went by to SM manila to withdraw.. at dahil sa wala pang 10, i expected to wait a little outside, nagulat ako when the guards were already letting the people come in. when i was inside napagtanto ko kaya naman pala, may kadena pa ang paligid ng stores.. at eto pa, pagpatak ng alas-diyes, nag lupang hinirang bigla.. haha at nung patapos na ung kanta, ung mga tao, parang may sinalihang karera, walang exag, parang bumubwelo sila ng takbo.. tapos nung matapos ung kanta, sabay bagsak ng mga kadena, bukas ng stores, at ung mga tao! grabe takbuhan! kala mo karera! natatawa na lang ako mag-isa, sabi ko, ano ba bibilhin ng mga to kailangang tumakbo.. nung nasa stores nmn sila nakita ko patingin tingin lang.. labo..... haha
